Artesa Winery

1345 Henry Road, Napa, CA, 94559 [ map ]

Artesa is an architecturally-acclaimed facility opened in 1991 and dedicated solely to methode champenoise sparkling wine production.

The Visitor Center at Artesa is a delight to behold. Our guests reach it by a sweeping staircase bordered by cascading waterfalls. The stairs ascend past beautiful fountains, reflecting pools and sculpture.

At the top, visitors are struck by the panoramic vistas of Napa Valley, Carneros and the San Francisco Bay. A broad walkway leads past manicured lawns to the winery entrance. One step over the threshold and the setting transforms into a spectacular modernist interior, full of rich woods, expanses of glass and dozens of smooth columns. The building is often compared to an art museum. And, indeed, its walls and vast spaces are filled with works by our celebrated Artist in Residence.
