The passionate people behind Koch Family Vineyards

Kevin

Vineyard Manager

Born and raised in San Diego, Kevin was first introduced to the world of wine by his grandfather, Maurice Koch, who crafted small-batch wines in Suisun Valley for friends and family. Inspired by this early connection, Kevin moved to Sonoma County to attend Sonoma State University, where his passion for wine deepened during his first harvest at Girard Winery.

It was at Girard that Kevin met our winemaker, Lucas, forming a partnership rooted in a shared love for wine. Today, Kevin oversees the health of our vineyards and the quality of our grapes, bringing a forward-thinking approach to sustainable farming.

He's a strong advocate for regenerative agriculture, incorporating practices such as rotational sheep grazing in the off-season, mobile chicken coops ("chicken tractors"), and using only organic spray materials. Kevin's dedication to the land and innovative farming is a reflection of his desire to carry on his grandfather's legacy—crafting exceptional wines through mindful stewardship of the vineyard.

Lucas

Winemaker

Born in Argentina, Lucas has traveled the world studying the art and science of winemaking — from old-world vineyards to innovative cellars. His journey through diverse wine regions has shaped both his expertise and his creative approach in the cellar.

Now happily rooted in California, Lucas brings a blend of deep knowledge, fresh ideas, and a genuine love for the craft. He's passionate about working with different terroirs and uncovering how each vineyard expresses itself uniquely in the glass.

Lucas's approach is both thoughtful and fun — always pushing boundaries while honoring tradition. His curiosity, energy, and global perspective continue to inspire our winemaking and elevate every bottle we produce.
