Steve Dutton and Karissa Kruse have assumed full ownership of the winery, reinforcing a vision deeply rooted in Sonoma County farming, long-term stewardship, and vineyard-driven wines.
This transition builds on the foundation established since 1998, while bringing renewed focus to the coastal vineyards and the Dutton Ranch sites that have long defined our portfolio.
Alongside this ownership transition, our leadership team continues forward with Head Winemaker Melissa Stackhouse and General Manager Ed Thralls, guiding the next phase of growth and evolution.
As the wine industry navigates ongoing challenges, we see meaningful opportunity in strengthening direct connections with consumers, enhancing hospitality experiences, and telling the stories of the vineyards and people behind each wine.
We’re excited for what’s ahead and grateful to our partners, customers, and community who continue to be part of the journey.
