In a small town amongst the mountains and vines. We don’t seek to dominate or conquer but coexist with the land in the gentle embrace, and craft wines that capture the spirit of the Ojai Valley. Fabien, Elizabeth, Jeremy, Griffin, and Jason, a band of misfits and rebels come together in a raucous blend. From winemaker to restauranteur, engineer to brewer, their shared goal is to create a unique blend, vintage after vintage.
