Our Story
Since its inception in 2011, Squire Livery has held a deep affection for people and a firm aspiration to provide an unmatched Wine Tour Experience. The story began in Napa and Sonoma, beloved regions where Kent and Hollie grew up. Coupled with an urge to explore beyond the familiar, they extended their unique offer to the Texas Hill Country/Fredericksburg area in 2021.
Kent, a native of Napa Valley, acquired invaluable experience from working at various resorts, restaurants, and wineries scattered across the valley. An interesting chapter from the early years of Napa’s wine industry resurgence was Kent’s father’s infamous denial of Robert Modavi’s loan request for a new winery. Meanwhile, Hollie’s foray into the wine industry began in 2007 when she moved to Napa from her hometown of Pinole – a vibrant city located in the San Francisco Bay Area. The move marked the beginning of her love story with Kent, and eventually, with wine too.
Hollie also developed an affinity for the beautiful ‘must-visit’ locations around the Bay Area, making her an excellent guide for anyone wishing to explore beyond wine tasting in Napa.
The unprecedented events of 2020 triggered a revelation for Kent and Hollie. After receiving suggestions from Napa friends who relocated to Texas Hill Country/Fredericksburg, they set out on an exploratory venture. To their amazement, they discovered that the Texas Hill Country Wineries ranked second in visitor numbers across the nation, right next to Napa. Notably, this was at a time the region was still in the early stages of developing its wine industry. Detecting the opportunity, Kent and Hollie decided to partake in Texas’s extraordinary wine industry journey and expand their business into this intending wine powerhouse.
Throughout the years, the couple has cultivated numerous relationships within the communities of Napa/Sonoma and Texas Hill Country. These relationships have paved the way for the successful birth of Squire Livery Wine Tours and Squire Texas Hill Country Wine Tours. Kent and Hollie, the heart behind these successful ventures, continue to be proud residents of Napa, California.
