Kendric Vineyards is a small vigneron's operation.

In 2001, having caught the Pinot Noir bug and after much prospecting, I started work on planting my own vineyard on a plot of pasture land in Northern Marin. The location is a couple miles west of Highway 101 where you pass Olompali State Park, off San Antonio Rd. and right at the Sonoma border. It's roughly equidistant between Tomales Bay and the SF Bay. I got the 8.5 acres (all Pinot except for a few short experimental rows) planted in 2002 and got my first crop in 2004. Other varieties were added via grafting in the vineyard, as I figured out both what I could ripen and where in the vineyard the Pinot performed best.

I started making the wines (Marin Pinot and Shenandoah Valley Syrah) in other wineries' facilities, starting with the 2004 vintage. I eventually got my own production facility ("Winery" might be a little too grand a term) on Treasure Island fitted out and ready to process grapes starting with the 2013 vintage. I hope to be able to welcome visitors to a tasting room soon, but I've been saying that for years now. For the moment, you can catch me hawking the wines, and pouring a rotating selection of samples, at the Marin Civic Center Farmers Market nearly every Sunday (outside of harvest season) from 8:00 - 1:00.
