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
Carneros Club Manager
Unless she's out fly fishing, you'll find Carrie busy planning the Club's quarterly shipments. Her favorite part of the job as Club manager is tasting the new releases with our winemakers. Of course as a Roche family member her duties don't stop at Club manager as she also works with Mara to find unique items for the Tasting Room shop. She often joins her father on fly fishing adventures in California, Oregon, Montana and Idaho. Recently, Carrie became a Certified Casting Instructor.
