From an early age, Matt's goal was to be a winegrower like his father Justin.  He spent much of his time in the vineyard and cellar at Silver Oak after school and working various jobs during the summer. Matt spent a couple of years gaining experience at internships in Oregon, Australia, and New Zealand.  He also did one semester abroad at Adelaide University and enrolled in this wine studies program.  The passion he developed for wine led him to the University of California, Davis, where he was awarded a Masters in Viticulture.  After this, he moved to the Anderson Valley and started making wine with his father at the family’s new property.

Meyer Family Cellars is unique among California wineries in the range of its production, which is divided evenly between site-specific wines from both Mendocino County, where the winery is located, and Oakville, one of Napa Valley’s—and the world’s—premier growing regions for Cabernet Sauvignon. Within Mendocino, we access carefully farmed grapes from two sub-appellations: the Yorkville Highlands and Anderson Valley American Viticultural Areas
