About the winemakers...

In 2005, twenty-seven years after its founding in the heart of Napa Valley, the Dickson family moved winery operations to Emeryville, California and now celebrates the progressive nature of the urban wine experience. Mere hours after being picked off the vines, tons of prized Napa Valley grapes are hauled over Highway 80 to their urban winery, housed in a former WWII submarine repair facility near Oakland. Among the meandering interstate roadways, these bright bins of purple love bring the farm to market, and the dirt to the city, where it connects us all.

More about the winemakers... Second-generation vintners Andrew and Lane Dickson grew up with wine as a catalyst for discussion and friendship at the family dinner table. It is of the earth, it brings people together. As such, it is equally at home in our diverse urban landscapes, full of rich experiences and vibrant relationships. Made to be enjoyed beyond restaurant lists and wine country scenery, Andrew Lane wines are, indeed, for any and every occasion. As the urban wine experience continues to gain momentum, we are proud members of the thriving East Bay Vintner's Alliance.
