Briceland Vineyards is a small family owned winery offering distinctive, site driven wines made from locally grown grapes. Humboldt County’s cool climate is well suited for Briceland’s acclaimed Single Vineyard Pinot Noirs, along with a full lineup of distinctive no-oak whites and lower alcohol, food friendly reds.
Since its founding by Winemaker Joe Collins and Maggie Carey in 1985, Briceland Vineyards has consistently won awards at prestigious competitions such as the California State Fair, the Orange County Fair, Dallas Morning News/Tex Som and the SF International Wine Competition. Among the awards at the State Fair are Best Wine of Region and Best in State.
Recent awards and scores are listed here on Briceland Buzz.
As Humboldt County’s first 2nd generation winemaker, Andrew Morris had the unique opportunity to train and apprentice with his step-father, Joe Collins. Collins is considered a Humboldt wine pioneer and is widely credited with helping to establish commercial production of wine from Southern Humboldt grapes through his consulting and support of most of the early vineyards in the area. The winery continues it’s commitment to Humboldt grapes by working closely with the small growers in the area. Currently, over 75% of the wine produced by Briceland is from Humboldt grown grapes most of which are farmed Organically in tiny hillside vineyards including some dating back to the late ’70’s and early ’80’s & 90’s.
