The Story of Chelsea Hoff

Chelsea Hoff found her passion for winemaking at an early age when her family moved from Minneapolis to Napa Valley. Spending time at the family winery, Chelsea became enthralled with the winemaking process and the passion required to craft wines made to celebrate life’s best moments.

She pursued that passion to UC Davis, where she studied enology and viticulture, and worked harvests in Italy, Bordeaux, and Australia. A desire to combine and emulate the winemaking techniques she learned at home and abroad led her to start Fearless Wines in 2016.

She created Fearless for those who are passionate in pursuit of their dreams and fierce in their tenacity for life. Her lineup of lighter-style wines showcases varietals unique to Napa Valley and proves, as a female winemaker, she’s here to challenge the status quo.
