Anthony Schroth’s journey into winemaking began unexpectedly. In 2003, he was recruited to play baseball at Sonoma State University, but a shoulder injury altered his path. When an accounting class was unavailable, he enrolled in a wine course, unknowingly setting the stage for his future.
During the 2005 harvest season, Anthony interned in Napa, immersing himself in winemaking. He graduated in 2006 with a double major in marketing and wine business, then joined Harvest Moon Estate & Winery in the Russian River Valley, gaining hands-on experience in vineyard management, winemaking, and sales.
In 2007, Anthony took on the challenge of restoring a neglected vineyard. While working the vines, he envisioned a winery of his own. That dream became reality with Jackson Hole Winery, founded in 2009 in Jackson, Wyoming. Situated at 6,229 feet, the cool mountain climate enhances the winemaking process, producing beautifully balanced wines.
Today, Jackson Hole Winery produces 4,000 cases annually and has earned top honors at major competitions:
- 2022 Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley – Best of Class, Sonoma County Harvest Fair
- 2022 Catch & Release, Zinfandel – Best of Class, San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
- 2021 Rendezvous Red – Best of Class, San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
Anthony’s passion for winemaking and commitment to quality continue to shape Jackson Hole Winery’s reputation for excellence, crafting wines as unforgettable as the Grand Tetons themselves.
