Rock Wall Wine Company is located on the former Alameda Naval Air Base which was decommissioned in 1997 and turned over to the community and is slowly being converted to civilian use. The name Rock Wall refers to the defensive perimeter wall built during WWII in the San Francisco Bay to protect the base from enemy air to sea tor-pedoes. All military installations on the west coast created similar protective barriers. This wall is visible from their facility as well as elsewhere on the base. The wall has also been a popular fishing location for local anglers looking for striped bass.
The Rock Wall Wine Company represents a new chapter in the East Bay winemaking scene. Founded and oper-ated by a small group of wine industry veterans, including consulting winemaker Kent Rosenblum and his daughter Shauna Rosenblum, the winery offers wine lovers one of the most unique experiences in the wine world.
