The wines
Rhône varieties lead the way.
Grenache is at the heart of the cellar, alongside Syrah, Mourvèdre, and GSM. Hamilton also makes small-lot Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from vineyard sites across Sonoma County.
Some fruit comes from the family’s own Kenwood vines; the rest comes from growers and sites the Hamiltons know well.
The people behind the wine
It began in a Berkeley garage.
Greg and Lindsay started making wine in 2011. They moved to Kenwood in 2016, rebuilt after the 2017 fires, and opened Hamilton Family Wines in 2019.
Today, Greg leads the wine direction and vineyard relationships, while Lindsay shapes the hospitality and events.
