About Hill Family Estate

Hill Family Estate was born out of the desire for a family to work together. Third-generation farmer Doug Hill grew prunes and apples along the Russian River before moving to the Napa Valley in the 1970s to manage vineyards. During the 1980s and 1990s Doug began acquiring vineyards of his own as well as leasing land and has now grown grapes for more than forty prominent wineries including Silver Oak, Far Niente, Quintessa and Cakebread to name a few. After nearly four decades of farming, Doug and his family decided to enter the winemaking business, and in 2001 Hill Family Estate was born. Doug farms the grapes and helps craft the wine while his son Ryan runs the sales division, working hard to get Hill Family Estate wines placed in select accounts throughout the country. In 2006, Hill Family Estate opened a tasting room in the quaint town of Yountville, where they first set their roots in the late 70s. Today, the Hills operate both their tasting room in Yountville and their winery estate property located just outside of town, nestled at the base of the Mayacamas mountains.
