Our Story

Gold Hill’s story began with my dad, Hank, who bonded the winery in 1985.

It all started years earlier in his home in Palo Alto, where he began making wine from a kit my mom had given him. What started as a hobby grew into something much bigger. Hank was a visionary who loved what he created and believed in helping others follow their passions. That spirit helped shape Gold Hill, including the brewery.

When Dad passed away in 2012, I took over Gold Hill. I had been part of the place before, but carrying on his dream became something very personal to me. I wanted to keep alive what he had worked so hard to build.

Gold Hill is still growing and changing, but the heart of it remains the same — a place built on passion, hard work, good wine, and the people who make it special.
