Gay-Owned Napa Winery Donates Proceeds to LGBTQ+ Nonprofits and Offers Immersive Culinary Tasting Experiences at Its Acclaimed Downtown Gentleman Farmer Bungalow
NAPA, Calif. (May 7, 2025) – Gentleman Farmer Wines, a boutique Napa Valley winery founded by husbands Joey Wołosz and Jeff Durham, is proud to announce the return of its limited-edition Pride Red Wine in honor of Pride Month. A Certified LGBTBE® business by the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce, Gentleman Farmer is once again celebrating June with a philanthropic spirit and a handcrafted wine designed to give back to the LGBTQ+ community.
The 2022 Pride Red Wine (75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, SRP $129) features a custom, limited edition, rainbow label and donates 10% of proceeds to the It Gets Better Project, LYRIC, and Napa’s own VOICES. In addition, 10% of all Gentleman Farmer wines purchased in June will also support these causes.
With just 25 cases produced, the 2022 Pride Red Wine is a true limited-edition bottling that pairs bold character with a meaningful cause. The wine opens with red currant, cranberry, red cherry, pomegranate, blackberry, and a hint of black currant leaf, leading into layers of sweet holiday spice, cola, Oolong tea, and a touch of black pepper. An intriguing earthy quality of mineral and loam adds depth and complexity—ideal for collectors and wine lovers alike.
Guests can also enjoy the Gentleman Farmer experience at the Gentleman Farmer Bungalow, A Studio for Gustatory Well-Being in Downtown Napa. Opened in late 2023, the Bungalow is housed in a restored 1926 California craftsman and offers a series of curated wine and food pairings in an intimate, home-style setting. Guests are invited to book a five-course lunch, three-course breakfast, or a special “Breakfast of Champions” experience that includes a 5K run through Downtown Napa or guided meditation, followed by a seasonal breakfast and wine pairing.
Jeff and Joey offer intricate and 100% homemade – right down to the homemade mustard, brioche, blinis, rillette, pancetta, terrines, souffles, cassoulets, and pastries – pairing experiences serve as a means of introduction to Gentleman Farmer.
About Gentleman Farmer Wines
Founded by Joey Wołosz and Jeff Durham, Gentleman Farmer specializes in elegantly crafted, old-world inspired wines from sustainability-farmed vineyard sites in Napa Valley. The first vintage was produced in 2005, and the couple offer a unique culinary experience alongside their wines. Partners in business and husbands in life, Joey and Jeff founded their boutique winery as a means of reconnecting with what is real, and what it means to be human in an increasingly digital age. Gentleman Farmer wines are therefore an ode to the tactile, the analog, the acoustic, and the artisanal. In 2023, Joey and Jeff debuted The Gentleman Farmer Bungalow, A Studio for Gustatory Well-Being, a remodeled 1926 California craftsman bungalow in downtown Napa, offering social experiences modeled after the intimate (and rare!) experience of dining in a winemaker’s home
