Our Story
A Warehouse, Not an Estate
Fault Line Cellars doesn't have a vineyard. We have a converted warehouse in West Oakland, relationships with growers we trust, and no interest in pretending otherwise.
History
Two Winemakers, One Warehouse
Founded in 2016 by two winemakers who couldn't afford land and didn't especially want to farm it. They rented warehouse space instead, bought fruit from growers they'd worked harvests with, and started making wine that same fall.

Small Lots, No Formula
Native-yeast fermentations, small mixed lots, and mostly neutral oak — every decision here is made to let the fruit speak for itself, not to impress a scorecard.
