For three decades, Frank Family Vineyards has remained steadfast in our commitment to sustainability and giving back, a legacy long established by Founders Rich and Leslie Frank. Our winery maintains sustainability certifications across 100% of our owned and leased operations, and actively encourages other grape growers we partner with to do the same.
We enhance and preserve biodiverse ecosystems to increase the resiliency and health of our soils and surrounding environment. We employ regenerative practices of compost application, cover cropping, low- and no-till farming, and animal integration – all of which support a vibrant and healthy ecosystem with living soils.

Todd Graff | Senior Winemaker & General Manager
inemaker and General Manager Todd Graff is behind Frank Family’s reputation as a world-class producer of Napa Valley Cabernet and Chardonnay and our Napa Green certification for both land and winery. Prior to joining the family in 2003, Todd’s career began across the globe, where he worked at the steep slate vineyards of Weingut Klaus Schweicher in Mosel, Germany, the sandy soils of Château Yon-Figeac in St.-Émilion, France, and the decomposed granite and sandstone loam soils of Arrowfield Estate in Australia’s Hunter Valley, among others.
Todd played an essential role in our winery’s steady growth over the past 19 vintages including our recognization as “Winery of the Year” by the Connoisseur’s Guide to California Wine in both 2012 and 2017. In 2020, Todd was named “Napa Winemaker of the Year” by the North Bay Business Journal as a result of his positive contributions to the wine industry
Alicia Sylvester | Winemaker
Alicia Sylvester joined the Frank Family Vineyards team in 2024, bringing with her more than a decade of global winemaking experience, a “can-do anything” attitude and a magnetic sense of humor. She collaborates closely with longtime Senior Winemaker & General Manager Todd Graff to craft the winery’s portfolio of world-class Napa Valley wines. A California native, Alicia’s deep love for the state’s agriculture is rooted in her upbringing on her family’s almond farm and 20-acre Zinfandel vineyard in the Central Valley.

Congratulations to Napa Green Certified @cliffamily for winning the RISE Leadership Award for Supply Chain & Waste Management Excellence!
Clif Family attended our first conference & committed to reducing their bottle weight and waste. They set upon an inspiring journey to change their packaging based on their outdoors loving and mountaineering inspired founders. They were able to..
• lighten the weight of a case of their wine by almost 8 lbs!
• reduce their carbon output by 42 metric tons!
• institute fully recyclable, bio based shippers that keep wine cool!
• eliminate all foils!
• eliminate all plastic & metal moving fully to renewable cork enclosures!
Their customers responded with absolute enthusiasm.
“This story is not just about wine packaging or supply chain decisions. It’s about how we do business. It’s leading with values. It’s about remembering that the best way to climb higher.. is to carry less.” - Sarah Richmond, Clif Family Winery.
