Born in South Africa, Neil and Lance Ellman have spent much of their travels sampling fine food and wine around the world. Passionate entrepreneurs, the brothers were inspired by their shared love of smaller production boutique wines that focused on quality, not quantity. This inspired the launch of Ellman Family Vineyards.

Selecting the finest fruit possible, Ellman Family Vineyards draws on time-honored techniques to handcraft remarkable wines. The Ellmans chose Napa as their premier source of fruit to handpick their favorite varietals from one of the best growing climates on the planet.

This relentless focus on craftsmanship offers a different experience from some of the larger wineries. Like good friends, the Ellman Family Vineyard wines are meant to be cherished and savored. Neil and Lance wouldn’t have it any other way.
