Cowhorn Vineyard and Garden

Cowhorn Vineyard & Garden was founded in 2005 by Bill and Barbara Steele and farms a 117 Acres property in Jacksonville designed as a polyculture. The estate focuses on Rhône varieties and combines viticulture with gardens, animals, cover crops and biodiversity areas. Biodynamic preparations, compost and cover cropping are used in the vineyard; the soils consist predominantly of basalt, granite, alluvial deposits and clay. The winery works with as little intervention as possible and was established with the support of biodynamic consultant Alan York.
