Working with the Bevill team makes our life as a grower/client of theirs easy. Duff really listens to our vision of the vineyard and hears what we say. He offers advice and suggestions and keeps us up-to-date on new farming practices. Duff is very helpful introducing the grower to those wineries buying grapes. All of our grapes are under contract.”
The combined experience that the Bevill Vineyard Management team possesses is hard to rival. It comes through in their ability to organize and follow through on services. Beyond Bevill Vineyard Management's ability to 'make it happen', I have truly appreciated tapping into Duff's expertise and insight. He always knows the current pulse of the industry. The strategic approaches and ideas he has to offer have proven extremely valuable”
Duff Bevill and his team represent the best in Sonoma County vineyard management. Deep knowledge, gleaned from decades of on-the-ground, in-the-dirt vineyard management translates to best practices and flawless execution. Duff and his team never sit at a desk. They are constantly on the move, touring vineyards and keeping a watchful eye on every vineyard row. One call, and a Bevill team member is on site. Renown in Dry Creek Valley and Sonoma County as the vineyard management company with the best reputation”
Sonoma County is regarded as the global leader in sustainable winegrowing. At the forefront of this achievement is Duff Bevill, a Sonoma County grape grower, vineyard manager and past Board Commissioner and Chairman of the Sonoma County Winegrowers. Duff is fondly considered the “godfather” of the Sonoma County Winegrowers sustainability movement and his insights and leadership were instrumental in motivating the county’s grape growers to pursue sustainability certification and achieve 99% vineyard sustainability in the fall of 2019. He is a strategic thinker, an environmental steward and deeply rooted in the local community. I can’t imagine Sonoma County viticulture without the wisdom, vision and caretaking of Duff Bevill.”
From the early days of when Duff Bevill worked for our winery, to when Duff started Bevill Vineyard Management, he has been responsible for the farming of all Dry Creek Vineyard properties. With almost 5 decades of working together, BVM and Dry Creek Vineyard have enjoyed a special partnership, made even stronger by the care and attention of Matt Vogensen. Matt is very professional and responsive to the customer’s needs. He has helped us navigate the new style of viticulture and approach to our vineyard quality, which is reflected in our wines. We consider him part of the family!”
Duff and his team are highly experienced and competent vineyard managers. They have continued to coax excellent vintages from the terrior of the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County year after year, including those begun and nurtured so well by my father Don Stiling at Stiling Vineyards of Sebastopol.”
The most impressive quality that Duff and his team provide is their intelligent approach to farming vineyards, which includes the utmost integrity and protection of the environment. In the years that Duff has managed our vineyards, he has done an admirable job of preventing the spread of problems, increasing the quality of our grapes, and planting new and more productive vineyards. At the same time, Duff has an innate ability to provide the high quality of grapes that the wineries in Sonoma county desire.”
