History

In 1939, Charles E. Groskopf & Son began a small trucking company in Sonoma, hauling a variety of goods. As the local wine economy emerged, the company focused on serving the wine industry's trucking, warehousing, and logistical needs.

In 2004 Jaguar Properties, Inc. purchased Groskopf Warehouse & Logistics. President of Groskopf Warehouse & Logistics Guillaume Crété envisioned the company being based on integrity, honesty, and accountability. Focused on creating not the biggest, but the best warehouse to serve California wine country and international neighbors alike, new Vice President/General Manager David Hammond was brought on board in early 2011 to make this vision a reality.

From a modest beginning 32 years ago, the 200,000 square foot Sonoma warehouse now stores and ships premium wines, beer, and spirits to the four corners of the world.
