Brendan Roche
General Manager
Having been bossed around by his three older sisters for all of his life, Brendan uses this experience to help him in his delegation duties as General Manager. This broad managing role requires Brendan to wear many different hats here, from Head Supervisor to Head Plumber to Head Tractor Driver. Day-to-day duties for Brendan range from making key operational decisions to fixing a broken pipe in the vineyard to his favorite task as General Manager...tasting the latest Roche vintages.
Mara Roche
Director of Hospitality
Described as 'enthusiastic' by the San Francisco Chronicle, you're always sure to hear Mara's laughter echo throughout the winery. Mara loves a good party, and loves to throw them as well. Working with our ranch vistas Mara has helped many of our customers create a magical evening on top of our hill. One of her favorite jobs is helping customers work with the wine country's best chefs to pair our wines with the menu of their choice. Many ask where Mara learned her talent for pairing wines with food. She shrugs and says, "It comes from growing up in a big family. A normal dinner at my grandmother's house was a twenty-person meal. I was her sous-chef. She was this little woman that had strict standards, but never measured a thing. She could duplicate any recipe, just by taste."
Carrie Roche
Tasting Room Manager
Unless she's out fly fishing, you'll find Carrie busy setting up the tasting room for our busy weekends. Carrie enjoys finding unique gift items for our Tasting Room shop almost as much as she enjoys hanging out with our loyal customers. When she’s not busy working at the Winery, Carrie often joins her father and friends on fly fishing adventures in California, Oregon, Montana and Idaho. Recently, Carrie became a Certified Casting Instructor.
