“Tom Monroe is the co-owner & co-winemaker of Division Winemaking Company. His extensive career in food, music, corporate finance and small business has given him the solid foundation needed to run a thriving winery.

Tom grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and enjoyed his time in the Midwest watching Cardinals baseball games, helping his grandfather on their family farm and working for various restaurateurs and rock bands in the region and in Colorado where he went to college.

After completing a program in enology and viticulture and working in wineries in France’s famed Loire Valley, Beaujolais and Burgundy regions, Tom moved to Oregon to make wine with winemaking partner, Kate in 2010. Tom strives to make nuanced wines that are driven by vineyard and vintage character, or terroir, while keeping things simple and minimal in the cellar. Outside of the winery, Tom adores spending time with his young son and wife and enjoys skiing, live music, hiking in the Pacific Northwest, and traveling, eating and drinking wines throughout the world.

Division represents a fresh generation of curious winemaking looking beyond the status quo to create unique wines from diverse grape varieties with both intention and a story.

Determined to make minimal intervention, approachable and balanced wines with great price to quality value, the winemakers work with terroir-expressive vineyards, focused on organic, regenerative and/or Biodynamic® farming.

Division Winemaking Company includes the flagship Division label, the quotidienne Division-Villages label, as well as Nightshade and Gamine labels – a combination of both joint and personal expressions from each winemaker.”
