The Story

Bryan and Emily created Human Cellars after more than 20 years of wandering the earth. Firstly, working with underprivileged farmers in Africa, Asia and Latin America and later in wineries in France and Germany, they crossed paths with exceptional people who overcame adversity through uncompromising perseverance and passion. Every wine made is crafted to reflect the personality of people who have made the world a better place.

The Values

The philosophy of Human Cellars is simple--farm it following the rhythms of nature without the use of chemicals; keep it pure in the winery without fining, filtering or additions (save for a bit of sulfur); and be an active part of the community where you live.
From the winery
Currently we personally farm about 80% of the grapes for our wines using biodynamic practices. All grapes that we source have a minimum requirement of being farmed using organic methods.
