The lure of the Loire Valley inspired Rob and Claudia Sansone-Hampton to produce their elegant signature wine, a Chinon-style Cabernet Franc. Their vineyards on Hagen Road in east Napa Valley have the ideal micro climate and terroir to duplicate the seductive Cabernet Franc right here in California. That was in 1996.

In 2000, Rob and Claudia decided it was time to expand their family by adding Napa Valley’s quintessential varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon. Another winner!

After twelve years, StoneFly Vineyard is grateful to be included as one of Napa Valley’s top Boutique Wine Producers.

And why StoneFly? As a third generation fly fisherman, Rob was determined to marry his passions for fly-fishing and fine wine-making. And, voilà, StoneFly Vineyard! Claudia’s first gift from her then, soon-to-be husband was fly-fishing equipment. Claudia has become a 'reel' fly fishing devotee, too!

"We share two passions -- fly fishing and fine wine growing. Both require patience, skill, and artistry. We take the same pleasure in creating a natural cast as we do in creating these delicate and sensuous wines."

"A perfect day begins with a stonefly on your line and ends with a StoneFly in your glass."
