Located in the Oakville AVA, Kelham Vineyards encompasses 60 acres of prized Bordeaux grapes. The estate is adjacent to Martha’s Vineyard at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains in the Western Napa Valley.
Rawson Kelham has owned these vines for over 3 decades. Over the years, he has sold grapes to many Napa Valley wineries including Robert Mondavi Winery, Duckhorn, Cakebread, and Beaulieu Vineyard.
In 1998, Rawson and his wife Susana purchased and renovated Shadow Brook Winery on Zinfandel Lane in the St Helena AVA. They also planted 7 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon on the property.
Hamilton and Ronald Nicholson are the winemakers at Kelham Vineyards. They produce Cabernet Sauvignon, Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Merlot.

The wine is fantastic--big, bold reds. The grounds are beautifully manicured and the people are extremely warm, friendly, and helpful. One visit and this winery will be your favorite, too! Oh, and be sure to meet the winery dogs, Gabby and Miss Ellie.
