Quartz Rock Vineyard’s mission is to do all of our work with kindness and respect for the land, our team and communities, and each other.
100% of the fruit used in Quartz Rock wines was grown here, on our newly renamed Nightingale Farm.
We give our customers the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of the land while basking in its beauty.
DAN HEAVENS AND JACQUI FERRARI HEAVENS, Proprietors
New owners in January 2020, new name in 2022!
It’s been over 4 wild years since we purchased the farm and winery, and in that time we have worked to continue the tradition of high quality farming and winemaking here, while also making big changes to express our individual dreams. We thought the next important step was a name change, to really solidify our brand and our core mission and values.
Our focus is on making high quality wines from high quality estate fruit; and sharing them in a welcoming and beautiful environment.
Dan is also the winemaker and cidermaker, and we are enjoying trying some new things and experimenting with different fruit and techniques.
We are grateful to our customers new and old, to our amazing staff, and our wonderfully supportive friends and family.
KEVIN LOCKHART, Farm Foreman
Kevin’s talent, work ethic, passion, and knowledge of the vineyard and orchard are a cornerstone of this winery and have been so for years.
There is no great wine without great fruit.
Kevin truly cares about every tree and vine on the property, and every person that he works with, and that comes through in everything that he does.
