We are honored to have this local and treasured winery donate a special curated basket for our fundraiser. A renegade approach and a love of the land inspired McEvoy Ranch founder Nan McEvoy to purchase a 550-acre sprawling ranch in West Marin County in 1990. Inspired by her love of Tuscan olive oil, Nan engaged Dr. Maurizio Castelli, a leading authority on agriculture, to recommend the best olive varieties for her unique setting. Fast-forward twenty years and McEvoy Ranch is one of the preeminent leaders in certified organic, extra virgin olive oil. A favorite of chefs ? both at home and in restaurants that favor the farm-to-table approach. Certified by the Leaping Bunny organization, their 80 Acres Beauty Collection is infused with 100% organic olive oil and botanicals. The products, inspired by the scents and aromas on the estate, can be found in exclusive spas throughout the globe and in premium retailers. To maintain a healthy balance with their natural surroundings only 15% of their acreage is planted. This purposeful strategy aligns with their strong commitment to ensure they provide good land stewardship for their olive orchards, grape vineyards, and other fruits, vegetables, and flora grown on the estate. Beginning with the 2010 vintage, they handcrafted limited-edition wine offerings showcasing the impact of the Petaluma Gap's breezes and their distinct soil. In keeping with their history, they grow several Mediterranean varietals in addition to Pinot Noir and Viognier. Nion McEvoy, Nan's son, became CEO in 2014. In 2016, McEvoy Ranch introduced Saimuun wines showcasing non-estate vineyard blocks as well as expanded their Culinary Collection.
