Vanderpump Wines
Chardonnay Please!
Many decades in the hospitality industry has cultivated the Vanderpump family’s love for outstanding wine. Having spent much time in both the South of France and California, the family is knowledgeable on what it takes to make a great wine, which pushed them to create Vanderpump Wines. Rosé became a passion for the Vanderpump family after living in the South of France for many years. Their affinity for classic Povence style inspired them to create their own, and in 2017, decided to launch Vanderpump Rosé; a fresh and bright wine from sun-drenched Côtes de Provence region. The Vanderpump family also has deep roots in California: it is the place they call home, where their businesses thrive and where they focus their philanthropic efforts. They always knew that they wanted to expand their brand to include wines made in the stunning vineyards of their home state, so in 2020, they introduced two elegantly delicious wines; Vanderpump Sonoma Coast Estate Chardonnay and Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon. In collaboration with renowned Winemaker Tom Hinde, these wines continue a tradition of excellence in Sonoma, and combine the family’s love of the traditional Old World style with the incredible bounty that California has to offer.
