OUR STORY
Linger + Loam was born from a season of change — the kind that stops you in your tracks, reshapes your life, and reminds you of what really matters.
What began as short drives around the valley, exploring our new home, soon became something deeper.
The people, the legacies, the wines — they gave us a place to heal and reset as we stepped into a new chapter of our lives.
As we settled in, the valley quietly wrapped around us in ways we didn’t expect.
We met growers who spoke about the land the way you’d talk about family.
We tasted produce picked just hours earlier.
We shared stories with winemakers who remember every harvest by heart.
In those slow, valuable moments, we found space to breathe again.
This is where the idea for Linger + Loam took root.
Meaning
THE MEANING BEHIND THE NAME
The name Linger + Loam reflects two truths about Suisun Valley:
Linger
Because the only way to truly understand and appreciate this valley is to slow down and spend time in it — to linger over a glass, linger in conversation, linger in the beauty of golden hour, and linger in the moments that make life feel full.
Loam
Because Suisun Valley is shaped — literally and deeply — by its soil.
A patchwork of four remarkable loam types forms the foundation of everything that grows here:
- Brentwood clay loam — rich and structured
- San Ysidro sandy loam — light and warm
- Sycamore silty loam — fertile and balanced
- Rincon clay loam — dense and nutrient-rich
These four soils give rise to award-winning wines, vibrant produce, and the seasonal abundance that defines this region.
Together, Linger and Loam express what we love most about this valley:
the memories you make when you slow down long enough to notice what’s right in front of you.
Believe
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Suisun Valley is special not because it’s polished, but because it’s real.
It’s a place shaped by hands that tend the vines, families who’ve cared for this land for generations, conversations shared across the dinner table, and flavors that shift with every season.
We created Linger + Loam capture what matters most here — to celebrate the people, the soil, and the stories that make this valley unlike anywhere else.
Because the valley shows its best side to those who pause long enough to notice.
