The Malk family tradition of wine farming began almost 100 years ago with Brian Malk’s grandfather, who owned a wine farm In Franschhoek, near Cape Town, South Africa. Throughout his life, stories from those times stayed in my heart, like a seed, that grew into a love of the land and of nature. Eventually, those feelings blossomed into what we know today as Malk Family Vineyards.
The dream of having his own vineyard and making beautiful wines stayed with him throughout his life, until, twenty years after immigrating to the USA in 1978, they started the search for our vineyard property. Finding the perfect site at the foothills, below the palisades in the Stags Leap Winegrowers District, they purchased what is now Malk Family Vineyards in 1998.
Collaborating with Robbie Meyer, Malk’s winemaker from day one, has proven successful. His stewardship of the vineyard, and its production, has provided incredible consistency and quality in all of the wines. His meticulous hand-farming practices and attention to detail have earned us high praise from many critics and a reputation among the best wines in the valley.

Congratulations @ilsleyvineyards on achieving @napagreen Vineyard Certification!
With four generations farming over six decades and over 100 years of history in the Napa Valley, the Ilsley family is committed to elevating their vineyard and farming practices. The Napa Green Vineyard Certification aligns with this whole property approach to farming, encompassing the full agroecosystem – from what is happening underground in the soil, to what is happening in the atmosphere, to how this impacts the broader community.
Thank you for being regenerative farming leaders!
