Matthiasson Winery, located in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, was established by husband-and-wife duo Steve and Jill Matthiasson. Steve, a Canadian-born viticulturist and winemaker, and Jill, who manages the business and farms fruit trees, both share a deep-rooted passion for agriculture. The winery focuses primarily on white wines, though they also produce notable reds, with a total annual production of around 10,000 cases. The Matthiassons manage approximately 85 acres of vineyards, including their own properties—Matthiasson, Phoenix, and Cressida—where they cultivate a range of grape varieties, including some unique to Napa Valley. Their farming practices emphasize sustainability and a holistic approach, incorporating organic and regenerative methods to enhance soil health and minimize their carbon footprint. Visitors to the winery can expect a personalized experience, often interacting with the Matthiassons themselves. Their wines are characterized by balance and food-friendliness, steering away from the high-alcohol, fruit-forward style prevalent in Napa. Signature offerings include a distinctive Napa Valley White blend and various varietals like Chardonnay and Sémillon, showcasing their commitment to quality and innovation in winemaking.
