Artesa Vineyards & Winery

5 Napa Valley Wineries with Great Art & Architecture - AFAR

"Conceived as an architectural landmark, the winery — designed by Barcelona architect Domingo Triay and owned by Spain’s Raventós Codorníu family — blends avant-garde structures with the landscape through floor-to-ceiling viewing levels, calming pools, fountains, and abstract sculptures; the Tasting Salon (by Signum Architecture) won a 2018 AIA Design Award. Sculptures by Gordon Huether punctuate the grounds, even as the focus remains on small-lot, estate-grown wines crafted by a noted winemaker praised for artisanal chardonnay, pinot noir, and cabernet sauvignon; even the labels and bottles are treated as artworks. Tastings (reservations encouraged) start at $45 per person." - Layne Randolph
