It’s fall in wine country, grab a glass.

Our Story

Alton is all about the wine—and not about the wine at all. After years of tasting, exploring, and now making it ourselves, we’ve learned that every bottle has one thing in common. What matters is the life you pair it with. Make it count.

— Ashley & Joe

Harvest 2026

It was dirty before it was delicious.

Winemaking is in full swing. The guys making your wine are the ones who will pour it for you when you visit. Joe and Griffin are in the middle of their 9th harvest together and this vintage is looking to be a beauty.

  • 78 tons came through the door
  • 27 breakfast burritos eaten
  • 4 new oak uprights in the cellar
  • 1 new pair of snake-proof boots
How we make it
Grapes piled in a bin in the sun
Griffin opening a tank
Hands sorting fruit at the table
Joe strapping down bins of fruit
Barrels reflected in a wet cellar yard
Joe hosing out a tank

Annual Share Dinners

The season of gathering.

Long tables, a lot of food, and nobody leaving early. This is what a night at Alton looks like.
