Amedee Delpach was a Los Gatos wine and spirit maker. Delpach was born in France in 1850; he immigrated to the United States in 1876[1], and lived in the Alma area[2]. Delpach built a winery at the corner of Santa Cruz Ave. and Saratoga Ave. in 1900[3]; the building was later extended by Hunt Brothers Packing Company as a cannery to replace the former Los Gatos Canneries plant in downtown Los Gatos.
Delpach also owned land in the Santa Cruz Mountains where he operated a still[4].
Amedee died in 1903[5].
