Winemaker Eric Hays developed a passion for wine when he worked as a restaurant and club manager for 15 years and honed his winemaking skills on the job as an Assistant Winemaker at a local winery. His wife Emily brings a passion for sustainability to the winemaking operation. She owned a “green” boutique in Sacramento from 2005 to 2008, and guides the sustainable business model. She also designed and outfitted the tasting room with eco-friendly materials and products. Eric’s mom Davell, the namesake of
the winery, brings her accounting and gardening skills to the operation. She was a government auditor for 25 years and is a passionate gardener. All three family members, along with 3 year old Charlotte, have managed all the vineyard and winery operations together since the first harvest in 2007.
