Johan Vineyards

Johan is a great reset if your itinerary is packed with the “big names.” The drive out is part of the charm, and once you arrive, the biodynamic focus feels tangible—not performative. The wines tend to carry that Van Duzer signature: brightness and energy, with a clean line running through the finish. The tasting room keeps things comfortable and unpretentious, and the seasonal schedule makes it feel like a place that moves with the vineyard calendar. If you’re curious about organic/biodynamic farming in practice—and you want wines that feel alive and lifted—put Johan on the list.
