🍷 Resident Spotlight: Jack Florence of Varenna

We’re proud to celebrate Jack Florence, a Varenna resident recently featured in Forbes as Dry Creek Valley’s “quiet historian.”

Jack’s lifelong dedication to winegrowing and preserving the history of Sonoma County — from championing Zinfandel to helping establish the Rockpile AVA — is a powerful reminder that passion and purpose only deepen with time.

We’re honored to have Jack as part of the Varenna and Gallaher Signature Living community.

Almost a year to date in April, our wonderful Varenna residents & Programs Team had the opportunity to return to, or visit for the first time, the natural beauty of Pepperwood, a 3,200-acre biological reserve and research station.

Known as a "living laboratory," the preserve brings scientists from around the world & provides ecology, conservation education & volunteer programs to foster support among longtime Sonoma County residents & help the next generation of researchers thrive.

Our morning at Varenna began overcast & foggy, but as we arrived up the hill to enter the Preserve, the sun began to magnify the landscape in breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views, spanning from Marin, Sonoma, & Napa all the way to up to Mendocino & Lake Counties.

From learning of the sheer microclimate biodiversity of Sonoma County - over 900 native species call Pepperwood home - to fire watch cameras & burn prevention to preserve & restore our land, Pepperwood truly is a natural gem of our home.

We are excited to welcome Pepperwood to Varenna this coming week for a very special presentation.

Thank you, Pepperwood team, for hosting us, we will return again soon!
