About Us

We took the road less traveled.

OFFROUTE was founded by friends who never intended to build just another wine brand. Our path began in iconic cellars and winds through remote vineyard sites, late-night gatherings, and a shared belief that wine should be an exploration — not a commodity.

We craft limited-production Chardonnay and Cabernet from extraordinary places. Each bottle is a curated chapter — shaped by curiosity, connection, and the pursuit of something just a little off the map.

If you’ve found us, you’re early. That’s the best time to arrive.

OFFROUTE x Charles Arnoldi

Our label was created in collaboration with renowned abstract artist Charles Arnoldi, whose bold, geometric work has been featured in the MoMA, Whitney, and Guggenheim Bilbao. Like OFFROUTE, Chuck built his legacy by forging his own creative path—moving from Ohio to California and breaking from convention to create something uniquely his own. His dynamic artwork reflects our shared philosophy: that the most compelling creations come from risk, instinct, and trust in the process.

Arnoldi’s artwork captures what our wines are about: layers of experience, energy in restraint, and the tension between chaos and control. Like the best Chardonnays from Mendocino or Cabernets from Coombsville, it’s not just about what you see (or taste) right away—it’s about what reveals itself over time.

OFFROUTE has never been about the straight line. Our wines, and our labels, are a reflection of that truth.
