Jim Barbour
Viticulturist

Jim was raised in Napa Valley on his family’s ranch on Highway 29, and has devoted his life to Napa Valley and wine growing. He graduated from UC-Davis with a degree in Plant Science/Viticulture then began a career that would distinguish him as one of the Valley's most respected viticulturists. For over 40 years, he has planted and managed many prominent vineyards using traditional hand farming methods as well as state-of the-art technology and adheres to a philosophy that all vineyards should be sustainably or organically farmed to preserve the integrity of the land and environment.
