Inman Family Wines is an American winery founded in 2000 by winemaker Kathleen Inman, near Santa Rosa, in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County, California. Inman produces a range of wines including pinot noir, chardonnay, pinot gris, rosé, and sparkling wines.[1][2]

History

Kathleen Inman grew up in the Napa Valley in a teetotalling family.[3] After living in England and working as a lawyer, together with her husband, Inman established the Olivet Grange Vineyard in 2000 by planting 10.5 acres (4.2 ha) of pinot noir and pinot gris.[4] The vineyard is located in the Russian River Valley AVA and is managed using organic and regenerative farming practices.[5] In 2010, the winery opened a solar-powered tasting room built with reclaimed materials.[6] A power outage in 2017 resulted in Inman repurposing unfermented pinot noir grapes into vermouth.[7]
