Brian and Rob Capp have been farming their whole lives. The brothers grow grapes in Suisun Valley and Gordon Valley, having learned the craft from their father. In addition to the Zinfandel vineyard their father planted in 1969, the brothers tend to nine other varietals in the region.

A little about the Capp family…Farming is definitely in the blood of Brian and Rob Capp. The Capp brothers have been farming all of their lives and, like their father before them, are members of Allied Grape Growers. In addition to farming their own grapes in both Solano’s Suisun Valley and Napa’s Gordon Valley, the brothers provide vineyard management services and mechanical harvesting and grape hauling services.
The Capp family began farming with their father, Lanny Capp, as young men. Lanny farmed the family ranch in Napa’s Gordon Valley, growing Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. Sons Rob and Brian have carried on the family tradition, preserving the Zinfandel vineyard that Lanny planted in 1969, while adding Petite Sirah and Sauvignon Blanc to their estate holdings, for a total of about 35 acres under vine in Gordon Valley.
About two miles down the road from Capp Estate Ranch, the brothers keep busy by farming the 40 acre Inn Ranch which consists mostly of Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Verdelho, and Malvasia; the Chavez Ranch with about 30 acres of Chardonnay and eight acres of Cabernet Sauvignon; and the SVR Ranch with 10 acres of Cabernet.
So it goes without saying that the Capp Family are no strangers to hard work, dedication, and a passion for the land and their craft. We hope you enjoy Capp Family wine as much as we do!
