Coach House Cellars

Call to check the status of the new facility first!

Coach House Cellars is a boutique winery focused on small-lot wine production. Our mission: Create highly sought-after wines that reflect both the fruit and terra of the region using old-world wine-making techniques. The name “Coach House” comes from the winery's humble beginnings where it was started in the original garage, what in times past would have been referred to as a coach house. Over the years, it has grown to consume that space, and plans are underway for a new facility.
