Welcome
Owned and operated by the visionary duo Amy and Rachael Thorn, Thorn Hill Vineyards is a boutique winery where family legacy meets unwavering passion. Born from a dream nurtured by generations past, our female-led team continues the art of creating hand-crafted, artisan wines of exceptional quality.
At Thorn Hill Vineyards, every wine is a celebration of small production and single vineyard purity. Our grapes, grown in the celebrated terroirs of Napa Valley, Sonoma, and Lake County, are carefully selected to produce wines that are unfined, unfiltered, and 100% varietal pure. Winemaker Amy Thorn devotes herself to creating full-bodied, intensely flavored wines that capture the unique spirit of each vineyard site, while co-owner Rachael Thorn brings her vibrant energy to our tasting room, ensuring every visit is an experience steeped in passion and heritage.
We invite you to explore our full line of premium California wines—a living legacy of family commitment, resilience, and dreams made real.

Thorn Hill Vineyards’ wines are big and bold, with complex fruity flavors and balanced acidity and tannin. The traces of minerals apparent in the volcanic soils lend earthy and flinty notes that add to the complexity of Thorn Hill wines.
"The greatest gift you can give as a winemaker is to create a bottle of wine that is the purest expression of each varietal, a wine that is a combination of nature and nurture. Resulting in a vintage which represents a union between the fruit of the vine, richness of the earth and the passion of the winemaker."
– Amy Thorn, Winemaker

Our Story
Thorn Hill Vineyards is one of California’s treasured finds—a boutique winery born in 2005 from an unwavering passion for winemaking and a commitment to excellence. Our journey began as a close-knit family affair, with winemaker Amy Thorn, her husband Jack, and their beloved children Jonathan and Rachael united by a shared dream. Today, while we cherish the legacy of Jack and Jonathan, that dream endures, now led by the formidable mother-daughter duo, Amy and Rachael—both proud co-owners of Thorn Hill Vineyards.
Under their guidance, the vineyard continues to flourish, blending time-honored traditions with a fresh, distinctly female-owned vision. Every wine we craft is a testament to this legacy: unfined, unfiltered, and made entirely from 100% varietal pure grapes hand-selected from the acclaimed vineyards of Napa Valley, as well as the neighboring terroirs of Sonoma and Lake County. Each bottle tells a story of the land, a narrative of resilience, and a heart calling come true.
Jack, Amy, Rachael & Jonathan Thorn
