Vine Hill Ranch, a renowned vineyard in the Napa Valley, is owned by the Phillips family. Alex and Robert Phillips, our parents, made the decision to move to the Napa Valley in 1978 in order to raise our family on the ranch that our grandfather, Bruce Kelham, had purchased two decades earlier.
Growing up on Vine Hill Ranch was truly a unique experience. As children, we were immersed in the beauty of the vineyards and the rich history that surrounded us. Our parents instilled in us a deep love and appreciation for the land, and we spent countless hours exploring the vineyards, learning about the different grape varieties, and witnessing the labor and dedication that goes into maintaining a successful vineyard.
Our parents, Alex and Bob, have always been passionate about agriculture and the wine industry. They saw the potential in Vine Hill Ranch and worked tirelessly to transform it into the world-class vineyard it is today. They recognized the unique terroir of the land, with its well-draining soils and ideal climate, and carefully selected and planted the finest grape varieties.
Over the years, Vine Hill Ranch has gained a reputation for producing exceptional grapes. Its wines have garnered critical acclaim and are highly sought after by wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs around the world. We are incredibly proud of our parents' accomplishments and the legacy they have built on the ranch.
Today, our family continues to own and manage Vine Hill Ranch. We, the next generation, have taken on active roles in the vineyard operations and winemaking process. We have inherited our parents' passion for the land and are dedicated to preserving the legacy of Vine Hill Ranch for future generations.
Owning a vineyard comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. We have witnessed firsthand the impact of changing weather patterns, the intricacies of grape growing, and the art of winemaking. It is a constant learning process, but one that brings immense joy and fulfillment.
In addition to the vineyard, our family also owns and operates a brewery on the ranch. This venture was born out of our shared love for craft beer and the desire to diversify our offerings. As a family of brewers and sommeliers, we are able to explore our passions for both wine and beer, and share our creations with others.
Being part of a family-owned and operated vineyard and brewery is a true privilege. It allows us to be intimately involved in every aspect of the business, from tending to the vines and crafting the wine, to interacting with customers and sharing our story. It is a labor of love that brings us together as a family and connects us to the land in a profound way.
Vine Hill Ranch is owned by the Phillips family, who have dedicated themselves to the success and preservation of the vineyard. Through their hard work, passion, and commitment to quality, they have transformed Vine Hill Ranch into a world-renowned destination for wine and beer enthusiasts alike. We are honored to carry on this legacy and look forward to what the future holds for Vine Hill Ranch.
