Mark Fahey

Vineyard Operations Manager

"I’ve been privileged to learn that we as wine growers can exert subtle influences on vineyards; unfortunately, not all are positive.  I enjoy working with a team whose goal is producing superior fruit.  Discovering, sharing and understanding factors in the vineyard which affect wine quality can be small steps on a rewarding quest for a balanced vine."  - Mark Fahey

A dedication to quality viticulture is clearly evident in the individual farm plans Mark provides and implements for NVS clients. His experience in all aspects of wine-grape production includes eleven years as the manager of 300 acres of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at Riverbench Vineyard in Santa Barbara County.  Mark also worked for four years as a vineyard Pest Control Advisor near Livingston, California, and ten years for the Stanislaus County Department of Agriculture. 

Mark received a BA in Biology from San Francisco State.
