Landslide Vineyard
Simi Winery was first established in 1876 by the Simi Family and re-located to Healdsburg in 1881. Simi Winery’s vineyards along Maacama Creek served as the model site for the field testing of the Fish Friendly Farming program in 1998. Originally certified in 2003, this 293-acre site is located along lower Maacama Creek and on an adjacent hillside, where no-till management techniques are used to conserve soil. Simi Winery has preserved a diverse and healthy riparian corridor over 335 ft. wide. Vineyard manager Tom Gore works to control invasive non-native plants along Maacama Creek and replant native species to benefit wildlife. In 2007, Simi Winery was given an award by FFF recognizing Outstanding Efforts in Stream Habitat Improvement and Restoration. The Simi Winery vineyards were re-certified in 2008.
