Where Is the Dutton Ranch?
If you’ve ever watched Yellowstone and thought, “Where is the Dutton Ranch, really?”—you’re not alone. The name “Dutton Ranch” has become iconic thanks to the hit series, and fans across the country have gone searching for the story behind the name.
The ranch on TV is set in Montana, but there’s another Dutton Ranch—and this one’s very real, very scenic, and produces some of the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay you’ll find anywhere.
The Real Dutton Ranch Lives in Sonoma County
Here in the Russian River Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area) in Sonoma County, California, the Dutton family has been farming the land for six (6) generations. What began with apples and hops has grown into one of the most respected vineyard operations in Sonoma County. Today, Dutton Ranch spans over 80 vineyard blocks across cool, coastal-influenced hillsides, supplying grapes to some of the most celebrated wines in the region—including ours.
At Dutton-Goldfield Winery, we’ve been crafting wines from Dutton Ranch vineyards since our founding in 1998. These certified sustainably farmed sites are the heart of our most iconic releases, like our Dutton Ranch Chardonnay and Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir.
Sustainably Farmed, Family-Grown
Unlike the fictional Duttons who ride horses to protect their land, our Dutton family protects the land through sustainable farming. All of our Dutton Ranch vineyards are:
Certified Sustainable by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance and Sonoma County Winegrowers
Endorsed by Fish Friendly Farming
Powered by natural cover crops, dry farming, and rainwater reservoirs for irrigation
Beyond the land, the Duttons support over 145 agricultural workers each year with housing, fair wages, and respect. It’s stewardship with real roots—and real results you can taste in the glass.
Dutton Ranch: Wine, Not Westerns
So where is the Dutton Ranch? It's not just a place you see on a screen—it’s a place you can visit, sip, and connect with in the heart of Sonoma wine country.
