OUR STORY

Mending Wall is a boutique, family-owned winery located in the heart of Napa Valley. Founded on collaboration and craftsmanship, the winery brings together celebrated winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown and longtime Napa Valley stewards to create wines of purity, balance, and place. Inspired by Robert Frost’s poem, the name reflects the idea that boundaries can also be points of connection, an ethos that guides both our winemaking and our hospitality. At Mending Wall, we craft limited-production wines from Napa Valley’s most distinctive vineyards, offering an honest expression of the land and a welcoming space to share it.

At its core, we believe wine is a catalyst for conversation; a ritual that brings individuals together. This is the heart behind Mending Wall, a multi-family endeavor to build a winery around the spirit of wine itself. A place where wine is shared and enjoyed without pretension.  We strive to be thoughtful purveyors in our journey to cultivate lasting relationships and produce wines that express the true nature of the vineyards themselves.
