There’s a rich history of winemaking in Calistoga that deserves to be both told and tasted. When you taste our wines you’re going to feel the old field blend inspiration but with a fresh new approach.
Sam Brannan was not only the founder of Calistoga, but he played a pivotal role in transforming The Napa Valley into the hospitality and wine growing destination it is today. He may be best known for his legendary Hot Spring Resort, but he was also one of the first people in Calistoga to produce wine commercially. Naming our wine “Brannan” is our way of raising a glass to this legendary founder.
Winemaker + Partner, Seth Cripe and Partner, Carl Dene blend their talents and years of experience to the conceptualization and creation of a truly unique and historically focused wine label.
OUR PROCESS
The majority of our grapes come from 50+-year-old, dry-farmed vines. They’ve found harmony in their natural surroundings and need less manicuring – already finding their balance and knowing their purpose. At Brannan Wines, we make our wine in harmony with that balance.
For the fully immersive, authentic Calistoga experience, there’s nothing better than having a Brannan Wines tasting at the legendary Brannan Cottage Inn. Take all your senses on a trip back in time to the original Calistoga as Sam Brannan envisioned it.
