Founded

The Josh Cellars story

Our humble beginnings

The inspiration
Joseph Carr and his wife refinanced their home to fund their dream of building an approachable, high-value wine brand.
The name
Carr’s mother suggested honoring his father by using his old nickname, “Josh,” writing it out in the signature calligraphy seen on the labels today.
Early days
Carr initially crafted the wine at partner wineries, selling his first cases directly out of the back of his truck.
