THE TEAM
Greg and Theresa Martinez, owners of Holmes Harbor Cellars, are the best definition of a perfect pairing. Blending art with science, together they create a distinctive wine experience for their guests.
A musician, a pilot, and poet, Greg heads up the winemaking duo. Greg is a graduate of the University of Davis enology and viticulture program. Retired from the Navy, Greg flew jets from aircraft carriers all over the world. He is currently a commercial pilot, flying internationally. These global experiences exposed him to the great wine regions of Italy, France, Spain, and Australia. His appreciation and passion for wine continued to grow.
Theresa is a professional chemist and the science accompanying Greg’s artistry! They both are graduates of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Surrounded by California’s most romantic wine region, it was during their college years that the couple met and fell in love.
Truly a balanced partnership, the couple founded Holmes Harbor Cellars in 2005, and released their first wines in 2008. They live at the winery’s estate with their son Michael, and an assortment of pets.
