Our Founder, Jeff Hansen, a 5th generation Californian whose family has been an integral part of California’s rich agricultural history has dedicated more than 25 years to the national and international growth of California’s wine business. Hansen has developed distribution for California wines throughout the U.S. and in over 40 countries worldwide.  He has been a pioneer in the development of California wines outside the U.S., and in his career has put over 10 million cases of wine into distribution. His family, now in its 6th generation, is continuing to grow and build and important position in the wine industry.  It is the history of the Hansen family in California agriculture that connects AHW to similar families who have been growing wine grapes for many generations.  AHW works closely with those growers who are equally dedicated to quality grapes and the growth of the industry.

AHW is specifically focused on building brands with key partners throughout the world either through control brands, private labels, or under the family brand: Hansen-Garbarino Vineyards.  It is our understanding of the markets we target and the need for making wines of superior quality while achieving correct price points for our customers – we delivery exactly what the buyers wants!
