Broc Cellars

Broc Cellars was founded in 2004 by Chris Brockway and operates as an urban winery in Berkeley. The estate sources grapes from family-run, organically farmed vineyards in various Californian regions and became a vineyard owner itself for the first time in 2023 with Fox Hill Vineyard in Mendocino. Cover crops and sheep are among the methods used in the vineyard; harvesting takes place early to preserve acidity. In the cellar, the wines ferment spontaneously with natural yeasts and bacteria, without sulphur during fermentation and ageing. Fox Hill received CCOF organic certification in 2024; according to the winery, the other supplying vineyards are not consistently certified.
