EXIT WEST WINES
Exit West celebrates the joy of discovering the unexpected, perhaps even unsung, things in life that ultimately yield great pleasure. Born with an inquisitive, adventurous mindset and the desire to root for the underdog, Exit West was founded in 2023, but is based on a over a decade of grape growing in the Red Hills AVA, nested within Northern California’s North Coast winegrowing region.
EXPLORE OUR WINES
Exit West wines embody the exquisite quality that’s possible with discerning farming and winemaking practices, and continually explores both established and emerging regions to sleuth out the unassuming, yet most exciting, vineyards and varietals throughout the west coast.

PHELAN RANCH
Whether we choose from the Westerly Mayacamas range or the Eastern Vaca range, wines are structured, complex, and command attention.
MOUNT FAMILY RANCH
As with all things, some stand out among the rest. Our Mount Family Ranch expression is the culmination of all things Red Hills.
OUR VINEYARDS
The Mount Family Ranch is located in the Red Hills, AVA located in the Northern Mayacamas Mountain Range in Lake County, CA. Our 52-acre ranch sits at 2400ft elevation with beautiful views of Mt. Konocti, our resident dormant volcano.
WINEMAKING
Exit West was born from the sloping crimson hillsides of the Red Hills AVA. Mt. Konocti, our resident dormant volcano, dominates the skyline and influences our identity. Presiding over the landscape, impacting the soil and climate for miles in all directions, her impact is unavoidable.
