Founded in 1973 by Fred and Juelle Fisher – and now led by three siblings of the second generation – Fisher Vineyards is the oldest winery dedicated since inception to estate-grown wines from both Napa and Sonoma.
Blessed by significant contributions more than five decades from several of California’s great wine talents (including Paul Hobbs, Mia Klein, David Abreu, Aaron Pott and Adam Goodrich), Fisher Vineyards currently offers nine estate-grown, small-production bottlings each year. With more than 500 reviews from top publications ranging 92 – 99 points (Robert Parker), it is safe to say Fisher Vineyards belongs in a class of its own.
Born and raised where you live and work has special meaning for a second-generation vintner. The experience of growing up quite literally alongside vines first planted at Fisher Vineyards in 1973 helps to explain Rob Fisher's deeply rooted passion for the family business.
After graduating from Duke University with a bachelor of science in economics, Rob worked in San Francisco and New York as a corporate financial advisor focused on mergers, acquisitions and financial restructurings. Yet, the inspiration to evolve the family business for a new generation proved more powerful, leading Rob to return home in 2004.
After several years working in various capacities throughout the winery and in the vineyards, today, Rob leads the family business, working alongside his two sisters, Whitney and Cameron, and, of course, his parents, Fred and Juelle, both visionary and energetic founding pioneers.
