Allie Ketcham

Proprietor

Allie Ketcham grew up in the mid-western town of Ann Arbor, Michigan and studied art and literature at Denison & Oxford Universities. After thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Allie found herself running away to live on a boat in Sausalito in 1999. Mark Ketcham entered Allie’s life in 2007 when they were set up on a blind date. She was won over by his charm and delicious Pinot Noir. Together they moved into the Healdsburg vineyard property at where their two kids Savannah and Nick were born. As a family, they enjoyed years of traveling and building relationships with Pinot Noir lovers across the country. Sadly, Mark lost his battle to Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2020. While Allie is eternally grateful to Mark for her children and the life they built, she is empowered to carry on the legacy of exceptional wines from Ketcham Estate.
