Keever Vineyards is a small family owned and operated winery in Yountville, in the Napa Valley. And when they say family owned and operated, they mean it. On any given day there are between two and four Keevers on site. During fruit processing, they get aunts and uncles in, too. “Dad” (Bill Keever) does a lot of everything, from washing barrels to wine deliveries. “Mom” (Olga Keever) runs the office, works with distributors, and ensures all compliance obligations are met. Son, Jason, specializes in production. Daughter, Ashley Keever, is the Director of Hospitality, and Liz Wilkens is the creator and Director of the Keever Vineyards Wine Society. Ashley and Liz host visitors who come to taste Keever wines and tour the winery and cave. (Their true titles should be Directors of Charisma.)

Winemaker Celia Welch calls the shots, and Jason makes sure everything gets done in a manner that ensures the highest quality and that no details, however small, are overlooked.

The first vintage of Keever wines was 2002, just 46 cases. A few years later, the Keever brand had achieved some moderate recognition, and based on that the family decided to build their winery and dig their cave. Keever Vineyards currently produces around 2,000 cases annually.
