Madson is my paternal grandmother’s maiden name. Originating in Denmark, my grandmother came to the US in search of opportunity and a better life. Madson is an ode to each of our purtsuits of happiness, our journeys through life and finding belonging on this planet.

MADSON
A collaboration between two friends with one goal. Elevate wines from the Santa Cruz Mountains.
It all started with one tiny, old Chardonnay Vineyard that needed a farmer in 2016. It was a side hustle to make a little wine for our friends and family. We farmed the vineyard, made the grapes into wine and what we made was beyond the level of quality that we had hoped for. Slowly we began increasing the stakes by farming additional vineyard plots. A few years later we farm over 30 small vineyards around the Santa Cruz Mountains, using only organic practices. We make the wine in our cellar using only native yeasts. We believe that the wines showcase our unique coastal and mountainous California terroir.
How do you make the best possible wine? It starts with great farming, hand picked grapes and moving fruit from the vineyard to the winery. Bucket to bin, bin to fermentation vessel. Watch our 2024 Cabernet Franc Harvest from Redwood Grade Vineyard high above the Monterey Bay.
Harvest Glory.
