Bill Keever

Bill Keever

Owner, Operator, CFO (Chief Forklift Operator)

Bill took a huge cut in pay when he left the business world in order to work for lunch money and wine. He traded in his suits for jeans and cellar boots and works alongside his wife, son and daughter in a business the family created from scratch. He’s not looking back. Napa was not unknown to Bill. He graduated from Napa High School in 1963 and even though he only lived here full time during his senior year, Napa was home to his parents and siblings for the next ten years, so it was home to him as well.

Celia Welch

Celia Welch

Master Winemaker and Precision Blender

To a perfectionist, every detail matters.  Celia tastes every vineyard block to time the harvest day perfectly, tastes every fermenting tank of grapes every day to determine the flavor development, then blends and tastes every barrel before it becomes a finished bottle bearing the Keever name.  Yes, that is a lot of tasting.  Celia loves her job.

Jason Keever

JASON  KEEVER

Director of Winery Operations and Chief Barrel Monkey

Jason makes sure Celia’s instructions are carried out to the letter. That may range from guiding a cellar team and interns to organizing a bottling, or just topping the barrels regularly. Whatever the need in the winery, nothing is impossible, but everything is frequently interesting.
