Hook & Ladder Winery continues the legacy of one of Russian River Valley’s most influential wine families.
Founded in 2003 by pioneering growers and vintners Cecil and Christine De Loach, and helmed today by their grandson, winemaker Jason De Loach, Hook & Ladder showcases the diversity of the appellation the family helped to define, in a portfolio of limited-production bottling’s from their Russian River Valley estate vineyards.
The name Hook & Ladder pays homage to Cecil De Loach’s 17- year career as a San Francisco firefighter.
The tasting room is situated inside the winery’s production facility surrounded by some of the Russian River Valley’s oldest vineyards, many dating back to the early 1900’s.
