Orin Swift Cellars Wine

The history of Orin Swift Cellars dates back to 1995 when on a lark, David Swift Phinney took a friend up on an offer and went to Florence, Italy to spend a semester “studying”. The introduction to wine, its preparation, and how wineries make wine. It was during that time that wine, its preparation, and its making were introduced.

A few more years of university led to graduation and eventually a job at Robert Mondavi Winery in 1997. Working during the harvest. Deciding that if he was going to work this hard, it would eventually have to be for himself. He then founded Orin Swift Cellars in 1998. Orin is his father’s middle name and Swift is his mother’s maiden name.

With two tons of zinfandel and not much else, he spent the next decade making wine for others as well as himself and grew the brand to what it is today.
