Hyde Wines, located in the Carneros region of Napa Valley, was established by Larry Hyde in 2006 after acquiring a 25-acre property previously used as an orchard. Following the removal of the fruit trees, Hyde planted Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, leaving space for a future winery, which was completed in 2017. With a grape-growing history dating back to 1979, Larry Hyde has deep roots in Napa Valley and connections to Burgundy through his wife and cousin. His vineyards span over 200 acres across five locations, focusing primarily on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which thrive in the cooler climate of Carneros. The winery offers a personalized tasting experience in a serene setting, featuring a rustic barn and a small reservoir that attracts local wildlife. Tastings are conducted privately, with guests enjoying a welcome wine and guided tours of the vineyard and winery. Hyde Wines produces limited quantities of wine, with a focus on quality, and has received accolades, including the Napa Grape Grower of the Year award in 2020. Their wines, crafted by winemaker Alberto Rodriguez, include a range of varietals, showcasing the unique terroir of the Hyde vineyards.
