Welcome

The Fall of Icarus by Bruegel

Horse & Plow Winery merges the best of old and new world techniques to produce authentic, hand-crafted wines from Northern California. We utilize organic farming, small lot fermentations and traditional techniques to make balanced, food friendly and site specific wines. The North Coast, including Sonoma, Napa & Mendocino Counties, is where we live and work. Our goal is to make world class wines from organically grown grapes. Owner Chris Condos has been making wine since 1995 and has worked with many, unique varietals. His wines are aromatic and complex. Learn more about our Pinot Gris, Rosé and Grenache. We made less than 600 cases and hope you will join our mailing list and wine club!

Our unique wine label was created by family members Florance Condos and Alan Crockett. It is an homage to the painting “The Fall of Icarus” by Bruegel. It shows a farmer at work with his horse and plow, immersed in the toils of everyday life, who is quite unaware of Icarus's fall. However, upon further study and rumination (maybe a glass of wine!) this work of art inspires vigorous conversation as to its meaning and symbolism. Swords into plowshares? Earthly pursuits or divine aspirations? What do you think?
