Artesa Winery is situated in the Carneros District of southern Napa Valley, notable for its distinctive architecture that integrates seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Designed by architect Domingo Triay, the winery is partially built into a hill, making it difficult to discern where the structure ends and the ground begins. Owned by the Spanish Raventós Codorníu group and The Carlyle Group, Artesa has roots in a winery tradition dating back to 1551 in Spain, originally focusing on sparkling wines before transitioning to still wines. The estate spans 350 acres, with 150 acres planted to vine, primarily at elevations of 200 to 400 feet. Artesa offers a variety of tasting experiences, including several flights paired with small bites, and features a members-only tasting room. The winery is known for its artistic decor, including works by local artist Gordon Huether. Artesa produces a range of wines, including notable Albariño and Chardonnay varieties, emphasizing freshness and terroir. The winery's tasting room provides stunning views of the Bay Area, and advance reservations are recommended, especially during busy weekends.
