Phillips Hill Winery

This historic agrarian terroir is a reflection of Toby and Natacha's winemaking philosophy and vision to provide an extraordinarily visceral experience. In the long summer days ahead, join us for a unique outdoor tasting experience under the apple dryer overlooking the creek, where the apple skins once flew through the shoot and into the creek so many years ago.

The apple dryer barn was originally owned by the Day family in the 1880s. Prior to World War II, before fresh produce was readily available, apples were dried on site and transported to port by way of buckboard. They were then shipped out to communities along the Pacific coast.

Weathered redwood siding originally milled from trees grown on the property, apple drying equipment, original wooden staircase and furnishings. Nearby ponds, willows and small apple and pear orchards are reminders of a bygone era.
