Conduit

Winemaker and proprietor Aaron Bryan has a nontraditional winemaking background. A classically trained economist, Aaron fell in love with the art and science of winemaking during his time at UC Santa Barbara. He continued his informal wine education during his time in New York City and when he moved back to the West Coast, started making beer and wine out of his garage in the Mission District of San Francisco. Eventually, he met a group of urban winemakers on Treasure Island and started trading beer for a few barrels of cellar space. In 2013 he decided to make the leap full time and has been producing Conduit and divergent vine wines and Tag + Jug Cider since.  - Conduit

About the Winemaker

Conduit

Aaron Bryan, the winemaker and proprietor behind Conduit, divergent vine, and Tag + Jug Cider Co., took a nontraditional path to winemaking. Initially trained as an economist, his passion for winemaking ignited during his time at UC Santa Barbara and further flourished while living in New York City. Upon returning to the West Coast, Aaron began experimenting with beer and wine in his San Francisco garage. It wasn't long before he found himself immersed in the urban winemaking scene on Treasure Island, where he traded beer for cellar space. In 2013, Aaron made the bold decision to pursue winemaking full-time. Along the way, he met Amy, whose shared love of wine, food, and Northern California led to both a personal and professional partnership.
