Jeff Hendricks

After working for a Silicon Valley start-up in northern California, Jeff Hendricks moved to Arizona in 2008 and quickly discovered the emerging Arizona wine industry. He began working for Page Springs Vineyards that year and became the director of vineyard operations during its expansion from three to 30 acres across Arizona. During that time, Hendricks, his wife Kim Koistinen, and two close friends, Kris Pothier and Joe Bechard, formed Chateau Tumbleweed. In 2015, he left Page Springs Vineyards to focus full-time on the partnership’s new winery and tasting room located in Clarkdale.

Hendricks is equally passionate about mapmaking. He holds a graphic design degree and is a GIS Information Systems specialist. His maps can be seen in various Arizona publications and tasting rooms around the Verde Valley.
