White Rock Vineyards was established in 1870 in the southern foothills of the Stag’s Leap range. A century later, the Vandendriessche family revived a great estate continuing its winegrowing legacy of timeless, classic and elegant Napa Valley wines.
Our Story
Meet the Winemaker
Christopher Vandendriessche, Winemaker
Christopher Vandendriessche was raised in Napa Valley, learning the wine business from his parents. Growing up on the farm, Christopher felt that his first passion was science. While at UCSC pursuing a degree in Physics, Christopher began brewing beer in his dorm room. After graduating in 1992, he came home to tell his father he was, “fascinated with fermentation technology.” Realizing the potential of combining his new found interests with the family business, Christopher moved to France and enrolled in the University of Bordeaux. He graduated with an Enology degree, and went on to work at Chateau Pape Clement in Bordeaux.
