Chris Hall, 38, St. Helena, CA

Proprietor/Chief Operating Officer, Long Meadow Ranch

Farm to bottle

The son of Napa Valley vintners Ted and Laddie Hall, Chris Hall planted his first organic vegetable garden at 12 years old and sold his bounty to locals. The experience inspired him to pursue “excellence through responsible farming” as a vintner, farmer, restaurant owner and, now, COO for the family-owned Long Meadow Ranch. In 2015, Hall led the development of the family’s LMR Anderson Valley tasting room, and he currently directs their newest project, a sustainably built winery in Rutherford, California.
