Meet the Business Owner
Hans N.
Business Owner
Growing up outside Zurich, Switzerland, Nef gained an appreciation for agriculture. In the early 1990s, Nef took his interests to an international level with the acquisition of agricultural properties in Arkansas. There, he worked closely with friend & business partner Hans-R. Michel, owner of an international agricultural consultancy & management firm.
During this time, Nef became a collector of fine Bordeaux wines, & ultimately branched out into the wine importation business. As his interest in California wines intensified, he dreamed of establishing a New World winery. That dream was realized after he acquired prime viticultural land in Paso Robles & established Vina Robles winery in 1996.
Nef planted 4 estate vineyards & selected Michel to develop the vineyards & oversee the winery operations. Together they also created an independent vineyard management company, Viticultural Management, Inc. (VMI), which also serves other wineries and winegrowers across the Central Coast.
