Stew Lauterbach and Barbara Swary came to Sonoma County in 1987 and fell in love with the Oaks and Grasslands. They purchased their home in the hills overlooking the Santa Rosa River Valley plains. We decided to purchase what is now Lauterbach Vineyards in 1992 starting their story as grape growers and in 2000 opened a garagiste winery.
Stew grew up in the Chicago area where he developed a love for the outdoors and became an accomplished swimmer. In college, he pursued aquatic sports and taught canoeing and kayaking, often running trips to Canada. During this time he was also a volunteer firefighter and paramedic, which led him to pursue a medical career as an emergency physician.
