The Story

GRAPE CULTURE wines come from single vineyards showcasing unique growing conditions. They continually seek out the most premier vineyard sites from Oakville, Rutherford and into both Howell Mountain and Mt Veeder. Critic acclaim includes scores of over 97 points on their most coveted wines, and all single vineyard wines are small lots typically around 150 case productions. GRAPE CULTURE honors Agoston Haraszthy's book "Grape Culture: Wines and Winemaking." Haraszthy, founder of Buena Vista Vinicultural Society and "The Father of California Wine," traveled Europe, bringing back vine cuttings, winegrowing, and winemaking knowledge. His belief that California could become one of the world's great wine regions inspired this exceptional project.

The Values

The Cranor Family launched GRAPE CULTURE in 2019 with the intention of producing wines from some of Napa Valley's most reputable growers. The name GRAPE CULTURE captures the underlying collective energy that exists in this Valley to grow world class fruit, produce wines that reflect their origins and continue to elevate on all levels. It also represents camaraderie between farmers, producers, wine lovers, and connects us the earth. The pinnacle of all the joy this industry brings is the people you end up surrounding yourself with. Thats what GRAPE CULTURE is all about. Hard work, community, family, and of course the wine.
From the winery
The Cranor Family has been in the wine industry since 2007, cutting its teeth in California’s Central Coast under the label Nottingham Cellars. Collin Cranor is a self taught winemaker and entrepreneur, and helped his family launch the business when he was 23. The brand quickly gained popularity for its focus on showcasing the nuances of single vineyards. Over the years the winery has produced a number of varieties from vineyards all over California and continues in its exploratory pursuit to this day.
