An Introduction
Our Garbro Ranch wines were years in the making:
One hundred years ago the Garcia Brothers (The “Gar-Bros”) founded a headquarters in Sebastopol, California for their fruit packing enterprise and used their large orchard holdings at the Garbro Ranch on Vine Hill Road as a source of apples for their product lines. The Garbro Ranch name lingered in local memory even as the owners and the agriculture changed over the decades.
We grew up next to the Garbro Ranch and from our family’s adjacent vineyard could take in its striking red barn, surrounded by large vines, occasional apple trees, and spring-fed creek. From the beginning, the Garbro Ranch attracted us in its mystery and its beauty.
In 2017, our family purchased the Garbro Ranch from our neighbors with the aim of keeping the property a family owned farm and expanding our existing vineyard. We have crafted a Garbro Ranch product line originating from this special place as a sister label to Dehlinger’s Estate wine offerings. Our aim is that the wines we are making from this site capture the history and heritage of the property, which is so palpable to us, and the excitement we feel to offer these wines to you over a hundred years after the Garbro Ranch was founded.
