Vine Hill Ranch, a renowned and picturesque estate in the Napa Valley, is owned by the Phillips family.

It was a decision that would shape our lives and create a legacy that we are proud to be a part of.

The story behind Vine Hill Ranch begins even before our parents' arrival in the Napa Valley. Our grandfather, Bruce Kelham, had the foresight to purchase this remarkable property some twenty years prior. He saw the potential of the land and its ability to produce exceptional grapes, which would eventually become the foundation of Vine Hill Ranch's success.

Growing up on the ranch was truly a unique experience. We were immersed in the beauty of the Napa Valley, surrounded by vineyards, rolling hills, and a sense of tranquility that is hard to find elsewhere. We witnessed firsthand the dedication and hard work that our parents put into the vineyard, ensuring that every grape was nurtured with care and attention.

Over the years, Vine Hill Ranch has become synonymous with quality and excellence in winemaking. Our family has always been committed to producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Napa Valley. The vineyard is meticulously maintained, with each vine receiving individualized care to ensure optimal grape development.

In addition to our passion for winemaking, our family also has a deep appreciation for craft . We have experimented with various brewing techniques and ingredients, always striving to create beers that are both innovative and delicious. As sommeliers and brewers, we understand the importance of flavor profiles and the art of balancing different elements to create a harmonious drinking experience.

Vine Hill Ranch is not just a property or a business to our family; it is a labor of love and a reflection of our shared values. We believe in sustainability and responsible farming practices, ensuring that our vineyard remains healthy and vibrant for generations to come. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond the vineyard and brewery, as we also prioritize community engagement and giving back to the Napa Valley.

Vine Hill Ranch is owned by the Phillips family, spearheaded by our parents, Alex and Bob Phillips. Their dedication, hard work, and passion for winemaking and brewing have transformed this vineyard into a revered and cherished estate in the Napa Valley. As a family, we are honored to carry on the legacy of Vine Hill Ranch and continue producing wines and beers that showcase the best of what this region has to offer.
