First constructed as the Historic Larkmead Winery in 1884, Frank Family Vineyards is Napa Valley’s third-oldest winery. Under the more recent ownership of longtime entertainment executive Rich Frank, they are a legend turned legacy. Their family-owned, people-first intention emerges on a site that tells the story of a kind of hospitality where every guest is invited into the daily experience like an extended member of the family.
Storybook navigation introduces users to a typical vineyard day, with an ever-present clock element to guide the narrative. Content is paced to slow things down, to engross, demonstrating a commitment to people that drives a desire to experience it all first hand. The site works as a family album, communicating a familial experience made even better with great wine.
“I appreciate all of your hard work, creativity, and enthusiasm in helping us build a beautiful website to showcase our brand. You kept us on schedule, encouraged us to think outside the box, and to this date, your attentiveness and customer service has been excellent.” - Leslie Frank
