Experience Family-Owned Winemaking in California's Heart

Clos LaChance Winery: A Family Legacy in California

Clos LaChance Wines is a family-owned winery located in the picturesque Hayes Valley of California. The Murphys' winemaking journey began in 1987 when Bill and Brenda Murphy planted Chardonnay in their backyard in Saratoga. Their passion for winemaking flourished as the quality of their backyard wines caught the attention of the public, leading to the establishment of Clos LaChance Winery.

Pioneering Sustainable Winemaking

Since releasing their first wines from the 1992 vintage, Clos LaChance has grown significantly, expanding from 200 cases to an impressive 80,000 cases and from three-quarters of an acre to 150 acres. As one of the first wineries certified sustainable by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance, Clos LaChance prioritizes environmental stewardship in every aspect of their operations. The winery's name reflects its roots—“Clos” refers to a small fenced vineyard, while “LaChance” honors Brenda’s maiden name. Their hummingbird logo symbolizes the natural balance they maintain in their vineyards.

A Taste of Old-World Charm

The winery's stunning Old-World inspired facility is situated in the Santa Clara American Viticultural Area (AVA) in San Martin, just a short drive from Silicon Valley. The estate's vineyards produce a diverse range of wines, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Meritage, Rosé, Merlot, Viognier, Petit Sirah, Grenache, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Pinot Noir.

Bill and Brenda, along with their daughters, are dedicated to ensuring that Clos LaChance continues to thrive for generations to come.
