Detert Family Vineyards is owned and operated by Tom Garrett, John Garrett and Bill Cover. The foundation for our interest in wine was laid four generations ago and made possible by our great grandmother, whose attraction to the tranquility and beauty of Oakville led to the purchase of an old farmhouse and vineyard in 1953. Our grandfather, Gunther Detert, although he had no experience in the wine industry and already had a demanding law career, took on the responsibility of the vineyard. With his characteristic energy and determination, he learned all he could about wine and grape growing. His involvement with wine as a grower and historian led to a lifelong passion that he and our grandmother, Marie-Louise Detert have passed down to the family.
