Sunridge Nurseries Inc. was founded by Glen and Terrie Stoller in 1977 after years of experience in the grape nursery stock business.

In the 1980s, Sunridge experienced growth when phylloxera began to invade premier wine grape vineyards of Sonoma and the Napa Valley. Sunridge offered a solution — high quality, phylloxera-resistant rootstocks. In the ensuing years, Sunridge has continued to supply only the highest quality of rootstocks to grape growers, through several expansions and additions to their modern, state-of-the-art facilities.

Sunridge continues to lead the industry in efforts to improve the quality of grape nursery stock. "Quality is our number one priority," says Glen, "with service a close second." This philosophy, he believes, is what has made Sunridge a standard in the industry.

Sunridge is a family-owned and operated corporation, which now includes their son, Craig Stoller, who is CEO of the company.

Located in Bakersfield, at the end of the San Joaquin Valley, Sunridge has the advantage of phylloxera-free, sandy soils with a long growing season. With more than 600 acres of certified rootstock, scionwood increase blocks and outdoor nursery blocks, Sunridge is positioned to produce certified benchgrafts and rootings to meet its expanding customer needs. The nursery's growing, grafting and storage facilities now total more than 300,000 square feet.

Sunridge Nurseries' sole business is the propagation and grafting of grape nursery stock. Subsequently, they have pioneered and developed scientific techniques and cultural practices making them the experts in this field. Along with a superior product, Sunridge is dedicated to providing excellent customer service.
