Robert Green
Founder
Robert Green’s fondness for the Sonoma wine region started nearly two decades ago on frequent visits. The couple was seeking not just the casual, elegant lifestyle, but also, searching for business interests. Robert began his quest to find the perfect piece of land and vineyard several years prior to committing to Healdsburg, CA. Over a five year period, starting in 2000, Robert surveyed 24 different sites in Sonoma and Napa Counties. His current 12-acre vineyard sits on 258 acres of the most beautiful oak woodlands. Robert states, “We were attracted the site for two reasons; it is situated in the appellation wine region of Alexander Valley and the site offered us the land necessary to build a luxury hotel”. As well as being the founder of Robert Green Vineyards, he is also President and Chief Executive Officer of The Robert Green Company, a commercial real estate development firm founded more than 15 years ago.
His experience includes the design, construction and development of large-scale mixed-use, luxury hospitality projects. Robert has primarily developed world-renowned hotels and resorts, such as the Park Hyatt Resort Aviara, formerly known as the Four Seasons Resort Aviara, the Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole Wyoming, and the Four Seasons Hotel Palo Alto, California. On a quest for the next great luxury hotel site, he began visiting the wine country and quickly understood the uniqueness of the area of Sonoma County. Closing the purchase of the property in 2005, Robert had found the perfect land for a luxury hotel and residential development within the boundaries of Healdsburg, CA, and yet rural and set amongst oak woodlands and native grass hillsides. Perhaps most auspicious, the land offered an existing vineyard with 12 acres of Alexander Valley cabernet sauvignon grapes. Robert spent the next several years recruiting a world-class team of winemakers to begin a custom crush operation. While selling the majority of the grapes to renowned wineries, Robert holds aside select grapes for his own label. In 2007, he began planting and cultivating four different Bordeaux varietals which reached maturity in 2012. Robert Green Vineyards is quickly becoming one of Alexander Valley’s premier wine producers.
