House of Brown

Founders / family leadership Deneen, Coral and David Brown

Deneen Brown is one of the three Brown siblings who began making wine in 1996. With Coral and David, she is part of the family leadership behind Brown Estate and the later House of Brown label. House of Brown’s official history describes its 2018 creation as an expansion of the family’s wine experience. Coral Brown is part of the sibling team behind the Brown family’s wine business. The official House of Brown history places her alongside Deneen and David in the family’s winemaking journey beginning in 1996 and the enterprise that established House of Brown in 2018. David Brown is part of the sibling team that began making Brown family wines in 1996. He shares the family’s continuing wine enterprise with Deneen and Coral. House of Brown remains a distinct consumer label within that enterprise, anchored by Brown Estate.

House of Brown opens another door into the Brown family’s wine business. Established in 2018, the label grew from the community gathering around Brown Estate and its downtown Napa tasting room. Deneen, Coral and David Brown brought the family’s approach to balance and welcome into a separate consumer range. House of Brown sits under the BROWN Napa Valley umbrella alongside Chaos Theory and flagship Brown Estate; it is not a new independent family winery. Its current online catalog spans five wines and four six-bottle assortments. The company describes the label as entirely Black- and family-owned and women-led, which does not by itself establish majority women ownership.
