The boutique wines offered to guests are produced or sourced through Andrew Lane Winery, owned by the Dickson family. The family’s Napa Valley winemaking history spans more than 40 years.
Named for Dave Dickson’s sons, Andrew and Lane, the winery officially launched in 2002, although its story began decades earlier with a Best of Show win at the 1983 Napa Town & Country Fair.
After a fire on Mare Island destroyed the winery’s first Cabernet vintage, Drew Dickson relocated operations to a former submarine factory in Emeryville. There, he helped establish the East Bay Vintners Alliance and became part of a growing movement of innovative urban winemakers.
From 2005 through 2009, Andrew Lane Winery gained recognition through publications including Food & Wine, Gourmet Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal, particularly for its breakout Boxing Girl Beaujolais.
In 2020, the Glass Fire destroyed the original family winery in the foothills of Howell Mountain.
Today, Drew continues the family tradition from a riverfront cottage near the headwaters of the Napa River. Here, rich estuary soils, steep mountain vineyards, diverse microclimates, and a legacy of resilience come together in every bottle and every experience.
Because Nature is Boss—and the finest moments in life are meant to be seized and shared.
