OUR FAMILY

Hill family group portrait in vineyard, highlighting multi‑generational Napa Valley winery pride.

One of California’s Family-Owned Napa Valley Wineries

Hill Family Estate was born out of the desire for the Hill family to work together – sharing the experience of crafting fine wines that showcased the grapes that Doug farmed and then introducing those Hill Family wines to the consumer at a tasting room in their hometown, and American foodie capital, Yountville, California.

MEET OUR TEAM

Doug farms the grapes and helps craft the wine and Ryan runs the sales division, working hard to get the Hill Family Estate wines placed in select accounts for you to enjoy. Carly lives and works in San Diego and hosts tastings and dinners in Southern California. Hill Family Estate is the culmination of Doug’s vision – a way to share his love of the valley, of farming and of wine with his children and wine lovers everywhere. Using inspiration from the top wineries in Napa, Hill Family Estate created their own unique flavors while staying true to Napa’s incredible history.

MEET OUR WINEMAKER

After four decades of farming grapes for some of the finest Napa Valley wineries, fourth-generation farmer Doug Hill and his family decided they should enter the wine business. Their wines now reflect decades of vineyard knowledge and a commitment to quality.
