Newton Winemaker
Chris Millard

Chris Millard’s bike tour through the wine regions of France duringhigh school would ultimately lead to his career as a winemaker. In college, he went on to major in Enology at Fresno State University.

Chris joined Newton Vineyard in May 2008. At Newton’s Spring Mountain Estate, Chris is located on the same Mayacamas mountain range that defines Napa Valley’s eastern border and can leverage his expertise with intensely concentrated mountain fruit.

As Newton Winemaker, Chris continues the legacy of producing the winery’s highly acclaimed wines, including the Unfiltered Chardonnay and its Bordeaux-style red wines from the estate on Spring Mountain in St. Helena.

In addition to making and enjoying fine wine, Chris has uncovered a passion for coffee, going so far as to roast his own beans at home. This artisanal hobby hones his winemaking skill because like wine, coffee offers the refined palate a variety of aromas and flavors to savor.
