Aaron Fox

Aaron was introduced to winemaking in 2012 when he worked on his first harvest at Red Car Wine, a small Sonoma Coast winery in his hometown of Sebastopol, CA. This experience ignited Aaron’s passion for the winemaking process and inspired him to explore a vine-to-bottle approach where he got a taste for making top 100 wines.

In 2016, Aaron moved to Oregon to pursue winemaking in the Willamette Valley and to expand on his knowledge of cool climate wine varietals such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Since Aaron has worked at wineries such as Alexana and most recently, as Assistant Winemaker at Stoller Family Estate. Aaron’s 6 years at Stoller were spent assisting in the growth of their production across multiple brands while also improving quality. This variety of experiences has exposed Aaron to various still and sparkling winemaking techniques and solidified his appreciation for traditional method champagne. 

Beyond Aaron’s winemaking experience, his degree from CSU Monterey Bay in Environmental Science coupled with the skills gained from growing up helping with his family’s HVAC business, have made him a jack-of-all-trades with a wide skill set. Aaron loves that his day-to-day often consists of wine tasting trials one minute and fixing a tank’s climate control the next. 

Aaron lives in Carlton with his wife, Rachel, their newborn son, Ryland, and their Rhodesian Ridgeback, Reggie. Aaron enjoys cooking, gardening, leatherwork, mountain biking, and camping.
