Hook & Ladder WineryReservations

A fireman’s ethic of “never quit” defines Hook & Ladder Winery.

In 1970, San Francisco firefighter Cecil De Loach and wife Christine purchased a Zinfandel vineyard in the Russian River Valley. After building De Loach Vineyards into one of California’s best-know wineries and using it to put Russian River Valley Wines on the world map, they sold the brand and winery in 2003. Now Hook & Ladder Winery continues that same mission involving passion, persistence, and determination.

Over the years, Cecil and Christine’s family have joined the effort, and continue the dedication to the craft they started. His oldest grandson, Jason De Loach, is their proud winemaker, and brings a wealth of experience with him. At 31 years old this will be Jason’s 15th harvest. He attended viticulture classes at Santa Rosa Junior College and took courses in enology from the University of California at Davis. Upon finishing his education, Jason worked in cellars throughout the Russian River Valley and in Chile.  Cecil and Christine have built a strong platform for the younger generation who are now taking center stage.

Hook & Ladder has 375 acres of estate vineyards producing cool-climate grapes from which they hand-make top-rated Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gewurztraminer, and a popular blend called “The Tillerman” just to name a few.

Our tasting room is open daily from 10:00-4:30. We look forward to your visit!

Enjoying Merlots

After the character Miles in Sideways spoke disparagingly of Merlot, some Merlot drinkers hid their love of this delicious Bordeaux grape. But many others know better, and stand proud in their love for this noble varietal. We have many stellar Merlots produced along the Wine Road. Here are just a few.

ABOUT RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY

World renowned for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the Russian River Valley also offers beautiful landscapes as you travel its back roads and byways—acres of vineyards, tree-lined roads, the Russian River, and majestic Redwood trees. A signature feature of the area is the frequent ocean fog that creeps up the Russian River and blankets the land in the evening, only to retreat with the warming morning sun.

Though Pinot Noir is the best-known varietal from the Russian River Valley region, there are many other delicious wines produced in this cooler climate appellation. Try locally grown and produced Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, and Gewürztraminer if you are seeking some white wine options. In addition to Pinot, red varietals include Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sangiovese to name just a few.

Along with many wine tasting choices, this area offers recreational opportunities like kayaking and hiking, quaint towns to explore, and art galleries to wander through. With several towns in the area, you’ll also find many terrific local eateries. So, go forth and explore!
