Our Mission

Small Poppies Collective exists to celebrate the overlooked.


We champion wines from underrepresented regions and small-scale producers who are pushing boundaries, telling real stories, and making soulful, honest wine. Our mission is to bring visibility, access, and respect to the people and places too often left out of the spotlight—while ensuring farmers are paid fairly to farm sustainably and for quality. We believe that change starts from the ground up, and we’re here to connect the dots from vineyard to glass, showing why these producers and regions deserve your attention, support, and respect.

Events

Join us for a month-long series of tastings, pop-ups, and collaborative dinners across Northern California—celebrating the wines, growers, and stories at the heart of Small Poppies.
