Frank Family Vineyards

For three decades, Frank Family Vineyards has remained steadfast in ourโ€จ commitment to sustainability and giving back, a legacy long established by Founders Rich and Leslie Frank. Our winery maintains sustainability certifications across 100% of our owned and leased operations, and actively encourages other grape growers we partner with to do the same.

We enhance and preserve biodiverse ecosystems to increase the resiliency and health of our soils and surrounding environment. We employ regenerative practices of compost application, cover cropping, low- and no-till farming, and animal integration โ€“ all of which support a vibrant and healthy ecosystem with living soils.ย

Todd Graff | Senior Winemaker & General Manager

inemaker and General Manager Todd Graff is behind Frank Familyโ€™s reputation as a world-class producer of Napa Valley Cabernet and Chardonnay and our Napa Green certification for both land and winery. Prior to joining the family in 2003, Todd’s career began across the globe, where he worked at the steep slate vineyards of Weingut Klaus Schweicher in Mosel, Germany, the sandy soils of Chรขteau Yon-Figeac in St.-ร‰milion, France, and the decomposed granite and sandstone loam soils of Arrowfield Estate in Australiaโ€™s Hunter Valley, among others.

Todd played an essential role in our wineryโ€™s steady growth over the past 19 vintages including our recognization as โ€œWinery of the Yearโ€ by the Connoisseurโ€™s Guide to California Wine in both 2012 and 2017. In 2020, Todd was named โ€œNapa Winemaker of the Yearโ€ by the North Bay Business Journal as a result of his positive contributions to the wine industry
