Chateau Montelena Winery: A Legacy of Excellence in Napa Valley
Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, Chateau Montelena Winery is a name that needs no introduction. Established in 1882, this iconic winery has been producing some of the finest wines in California for over a century. With its rich history, stunning architecture, and commitment to quality, Chateau Montelena is a must-visit destination for wine lovers from around the world.
At Montelena, we question everything - convention, past methodologies or how we can do something just a little bit better. This philosophy has been at the core of our winemaking process since day one. We believe that great wine is made not only with grapes but also with passion and dedication.
Our vineyards are located on some of the most coveted land in Napa Valley. The unique terroir and microclimate allow us to grow grapes that are full-bodied and complex yet balanced and elegant. Our winemakers carefully select only the best fruit from each harvest to create wines that reflect our commitment to excellence.
One of our most famous wines is Chardonnay - it was this wine that put us on the map when it won first place at the Judgment of Paris tasting competition back in 1976. Since then, we have continued to produce award-winning wines year after year.
In addition to our exceptional wines, visitors can also enjoy tours of our historic chateau and gardens. Our knowledgeable staff will guide you through each step of the winemaking process - from grape harvesting to barrel aging - giving you an inside look at what makes Chateau Montelena so special.
We offer several tasting experiences for visitors who want to sample our wines firsthand. From classic tastings featuring some of our most popular varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel to more exclusive tastings featuring limited edition vintages or library releases – there's something for everyone at Chateau Montelena Winery.
