The Redwood Distillery, Wildcrafted Aromatics from the heart of California's Mendocino Redwoods

We finally opened the Redwood Distillery in Northern California's beautiful Anderson Valley

At the eastern end of Anderson Valley, a stand of Incense Cedar thrives in one of the region's microclimates
Our distillery is on Highway 128, in Philo. If the signs are out, we are open - come on in.
Our old, wild west booth has a good home now at the Distillery.

Warmed by our vintage woodstove, and the keg of beer, the gathered community at our opening, hung out late into the evening.
Everyone around here gets their groceries at Lemons' - it has the best meat
the neighborhoods around Boonville are quaint - moss covered rooves, gray oaks full of song birds
Tom and Glad hang with the kids out front.

Sphagnum moss, an inspiration for some perfume blends, yields some beautiful aromatics
The whole community came out for the opening - the place smelled great from the wood stove and the fresh bread
There are a few apple orchards who are our neighbors -some don't exist anymore
The largest turkeys in California roam wild around here
The Greenhorns, a group of brilliantly innovative young farmer's joined us on their film tour. We were so grateful to have them.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Opening day at the Distillery was a benefit to keep the local state park, Hendy Woods, open

Not only does he make great perfume blends, but Hall's barbecue sauce is amazing.

Northern California sunsets in Mendocino county rival some of the most dramatic anywhere
