Palmaz Vineyards is situated at the end of Hagen Road, northeast of Napa, California. Founded by Julio and Amalia Palmaz, who have a rich history in ranching from Argentina, the winery is a private establishment requiring advance appointments for tours and tastings. The family, including their children Florencia and Christian, is deeply involved in the winery's operations. The estate spans 600 acres, with 64 acres dedicated to vineyards planted in 1996, overseen by viticulturist Dick Steltzner. The vineyards are located on hillsides with elevations ranging from 300 to 1,400 feet, benefiting from the cooler climate of the Coombsville region. Palmaz Vineyards is notable for its extensive 110,000 square-foot cave system, the largest of its kind in California, designed for micro-winery operations that allow for individual vinification of grapes from different vineyard blocks. Visitors enjoy private tours that include tastings of their wines paired with gourmet hors d'oeuvres in elegantly decorated cave rooms. The winery also has historical significance, having been home to Cedar Knoll Vineyard and Winery, established in the late 19th century.
