Estate winery with modern architecture, vineyards, and bay views
"In 1991, Spain’s oldest winemaking family, Raventós Codorníu, ventured to a new world: a sea-facing hillside in the Napa Valley, with rocky soils and a favorable coastal climate. It was here in Los Carneros, that we planted new roots, building upon a 460-year winemaking legacy to create the next generation of Estate Grown, artisan wines."
"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
"I landed a harvest-season internship at Artesa Vineyards & Winery in Northern California wine country, where I was the only woman on a male, Spanish-speaking crew and endured long days of hard manual labor—from sorting fruit to pumping and stirring large tanks of fermenting juice—which, despite the rigors, profoundly deepened my winemaking education." - Erin Russell
"I found its tasting room mentioned alongside others on Curbed’s guide for combining California modernist design with contemporary comfort to create an enticing visitor experience." - Caleb Pershan
"A majestic Los Carneros winery showcased in the film as a cinematic Napa Valley backdrop; presented as a setting for wine tastings and the group's boozy excursions, it delivers some of the movie's most visually striking vineyard scenes and helps sell the polished, bougie wine-country vibe portrayed onscreen." - Greg Morabito
