We talk a lot here about "elements". To build a successful winery you have to start with the best of the basics: location, soil, vines, practices and infrastructure. Then come the intangibles: philosophy, objectives, reason, creativity, dedication and energy. These come from people.

Our Mission: "To Grow Wines that People Love."

Here are some of the people who bring the pieces together so effectively at Malivoire:

      Martin Malivoire - Proprietor
