William Hill Estate Winery, established in 1978 by Bill Hill, is located in southern Napa Valley, approximately a mile from the Silverado Country Club. Bill Hill, inspired by his travels in Burgundy, began winemaking in Napa after moving from Oklahoma to California. Initially, his wines were produced at other facilities until the current winery was built in the late 1980s. The winery has changed ownership multiple times and has been part of the Gallo family since 2007. The estate spans about 200 acres, with over 140 acres planted primarily with Bordeaux varieties, notably Cabernet Sauvignon. William Hill initially focused on Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, gaining recognition in various competitions, including a notable blind tasting where their wines outperformed prestigious Bordeaux labels. As of June 30, 2024, the winery's tasting room has permanently closed, and the property now serves as a hospitality space for Gallo-owned Pahlmeyer. William Hill produces around 50,000 cases annually, offering limited production wines through various series, including the Winemaker's Series and Benchland Series, featuring varietals like Malbec and Cabernet Franc.
