Grgich Hills Estate was founded in 1977 by Miljenko "Mike" Grgich and Austin Hills, of the Hills Bros. coffee company, after the Chateau Montelena Chardonnay Mike crafted won the now famous 1976 Paris Tasting, beating the best wines of France. Grgich Hills Estate remains family-owned and operated, practicing the art of winemaking by crafting food-friendly, balanced, and elegant wines. We farm our five certified organic estate vineyards without artificial pesticides or herbicides, rely on wild yeast fermentation, and use our passion and art to handcraft our award-winning wines.

We are dedicated to quality and maintaining a safe, friendly, healthy environment to ensure employee well-being by building loyalty, pride, trust, and mutual respect. Our values come from Mike Grgich, who his father told to: "Every day do your best, learn something new, and make a friend." We all live these values every day, personally, professionally, and passionately. As the successful candidate, this is your opportunity to contribute to a quality-driven, customer-oriented winery and be part of the commitment to excellence that Grgich Hills Estates strives to achieve.
