A Legacy Rooted in Lodi

The Phillips family has been farming in Lodi since the 1860s, building a legacy that spans more than 150 years. What began as a roadside fruit stand evolved into a bonded winery in 1984 when fifth-generation grape growers and brothers Michael and David Phillips transformed the family’s farming heritage into one of California’s most recognizable wine brands.

Today, the sixth generation continues that tradition, carrying forward a commitment to sustainable farming, community involvement, and innovative winemaking. Deeply connected to the land they call home, the family remains dedicated to preserving Lodi’s agricultural heritage for future generations.
