Clif Family Winery

Good for the Planet And Your Palate

• From the Creators of Clif Bar

  More than 30 years ago, Gary Erickson and Kit Crawford sparked a movement with the launch of Clif Bar, driven by a passion for organic ingredients and a life lived outdoors. That same adventurous spirit eventually led them to the soil of Napa Valley, where they founded Clif Family to explore the connection between the land and the glass. What began as a personal project—harvesting olives from century-old trees and tending to a family garden—has grown into a vibrant winery and organic farm. Today, we carry that legacy forward through our estate vineyards and our Bruschetteria Food Truck, staying true to Gary and Kit’s original vision: crafting high-quality, sustainable provisions that fuel your next great discovery.

• 100% Organically Farmed

  Our estate spans over 90 acres of vineyards and 10 acres of orchards and olive groves, all proudly certified organic by CCOF to ensure land management free from synthetic fertilizers and harmful pesticides. As part of the Napa Green Vineyards program, we prioritize climate action and social equity through regenerative agricultural practices. By implementing no-till cultivation, maintaining perennial cover crops, and integrating managed sheep grazing, we actively enhance soil vitality and reduce carbon emissions across our entire agricultural footprint.

• Delicious Wines For Any Adventure

  Guided by our passion for the land and a love for the outdoors, we craft wines that are as vibrant and purposeful as the lives we lead. From the rocky slopes of Howell Mountain to the cool breezes of the Oak Knoll District, our estate-grown wines are a reflection of the unique Napa Valley sites where they thrive. Winemaker Laura Barrett brings out the best in every vintage, creating balanced, elegant bottles that are ready to be uncorked for your next great celebration or your favorite post-trail ritual.

• Bold Flavors Inspired by our Farm

  Experience the vibrant harvest of Napa Valley through our artisan foods, crafted with a sense of adventure. Our chefs and farmers collaborate to bring you everything from crunchy, savory organic nut mixes to our handcrafted organic preserves, made from fruit picked at the peak of ripeness. Every item is crafted with the same integrity we bring to our vineyards, creating small-batch treats that are as ready for a mountain peak as they are for a celebration at home.

• Family Owned, Purpose Driven

  At the center of Clif Family are our founders, Gary Erickson and Kit Crawford, whose love for the Napa Valley lifestyle shaped our winery and farm. Their philosophy is simple: create high-quality products while caring for the people and the planet that make them possible. By staying family-owned and independent, we have the freedom to stay true to Gary and Kit’s original vision—crafting world-class wines and foods that celebrate the connection between a life well-lived and a planet well-tended.
