Chris Miller

D’Vine Path has welcomed Chris to the team as Co-Director of the Trellis viticulture program and as lead Winemaker. He was originally involved with Batali Ranch in 2017, working as their vineyard manager and winemaker. This allowed him to work with D’Vine Path during its inception in 2018. He took a brief break from working at D’Vine Path before returning in 2022 to lead the viticulture program. 

He is certified in viticulture and enology along with wine business and hospitality from Mt. San Jacinto College. Previously, Chris has worked at multiple other vineyards including Wilson Creek Winery, Pepper Tree Canyon Winery and Wiens Winery in Temecula. Chris is also a business owner, leading his own winemaking organization called CM Cellar where he assists small home hobbyists in making their wine. 

Chris brings an abundance of knowledge and experience to the viticulture program at D’Vine Path, along with a background in FFA and landscaping. He is excited to help Trellis students develop a passion for viticulture and assist them in achieving success within the field.
