Taking Wine to New Heights
Hot air balloons are part of the winery’s story. Bill Oliver, one of our founders, is a hot air balloonist and avid aviator. His dreamer’s spirit is at the heart of our brand.
As we grow, our philosophy is rooted in the belief that all styles of wine deserve the highest craft and respect. We make our top-rated wines in the gentlest way possible. Each one of them share one common characteristic: real, fruit-forward taste.
A place for dreamers
Our People
We're a collection of the curious and the creative. The scientist and the artist. Purveyors of focus and fun. A community of smart professionals with a knack for doing things differently. We share a passion for quality and desire to get things done. Most of all, we love sharing great wine.
Meet Our People
Hot air balloons are completely pointless, except for pure joy. A beautiful, singular experience. Never the same, always familiar. Their sole purpose is fun. Like wine.
--Bill Oliver, Founding Family Member and Board Member
