BACKBONE WINERY

Location:

Redwood Valley, California

Date Completed:

In progress

Cassel Landscape Architects worked closely with the owners of the winery to develop a master plan for the site that addresses the climactic variability of the Northern California landscape with the seasonal threat of drought and fires. Both passive and active water harvesting techniques were employed to provide irrigation water for the new landscaping and provide “wet” zones around winery buildings to reduce the threat of encroaching wildfires. Fire wise plants were selected and placed strategically around winery buildings. The master plan includes an event space for weddings and concerts, sipping gardens around the tasting room, vegetable gardens and private gardens for the winery owners.
