Frank Family Vineyards

What Frank Family Vineyards does

Frank Family Vineyards is a Napa Valley winery founded in 1993 by Rich and Leslie Frank, headquartered at 1091 Larkmead Lane in Calistoga, California. The company produces premium wines across multiple tiers, including reserve wines (Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Zinfandel Port, and the Patriarch Bordeaux blend), traditional method sparkling wines under the Bubbles line, Napa Valley and Carneros appellation wines, and proprietary offerings such as Leslie Rosé. Production draws from an estate vineyard portfolio spanning Winston Hill, Lewis, Benjamin, S&J, and Benjamin Ranch.

The business operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer and wholesale model. Direct sales are conducted through the Calistoga tasting room (including the Stone Building, Stone House, and Miller House hospitality spaces), subscription-based wine club memberships offering curated recurring shipments, and an e-commerce website with U.S. shipping where permitted. Wholesale distribution flows through parent company Treasury Wine Estates' network, where Frank Family has been designated one of 10 priority Power Brands. The company also pursues event-driven and experiential marketing through Festival Napa Valley, Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta, Hyatt Regency Maui, and the annual Frank for a Cause philanthropic campaign supporting nonprofits including 4ocean, K9s For Warriors, Feeding America, and the Arbor Day Foundation.

Frank Family has invested heavily in sustainability credentials, holding Napa Green certification since 2014, Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing, and Fish Friendly Farming certifications, with 100% renewable energy sourced through Marin Clean Energy's Deep Green Program and 800+ on-site solar panels. The company is a subsidiary of Treasury Wine Estates (ASX: TWE), an Australia-based global wine company; TWE announced a portfolio rationalization in 2026 reducing its U.S. portfolio from 76 brands to fewer than 30, with Frank Family identified as a Power Brand alongside Penfolds, Daou, Beaulieu Vineyard, and Stags' Leap Winery.
