John Fetzer

John Fetzer’s illustrious career in the wine industry spans nearly a half-century, from his early childhood working in the vineyards at the 1000-acre Fetzer home ranch in Redwood Valley, California, to becoming CEO of Fetzer Vineyards in 1981 at the age of 35.

A leader in organic farming and responsible winemaking, John and his wife Patty have created a boutique winery and vineyards called Saracina that can best be described as “wisdom in a bottle”.
