About
Over 25 years ago, Spain’s oldest winemaking family 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 Carneros that we planted new roots, building upon a 460-year winemaking legacy to create the next generation of estate-grown, artisan wines. We named it Artesa. 150 acres. Over 50 blocks. Sustainably Farmed. Our Estate Vineyard is set in the steep foothills that straddle the Carneros and Mt. Veeder AVAs. An ideal mix of topography and a cool, coastal climate make our location among the most prized Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards in California. The Artesa Estate Vineyard is Fish Friendly Farming and Napa Green Land certified. Artesa: Born in Barcelona. Raised in Napa Valley. We strive to bring the best of our native and adopted homes to you in each bottle of our wines. And we hope that it enhances those moments when we are a part of your life. ¡Salud!

- ReslimpanRayong, Thailand3,101 contributionsGreat views if not the best!Artesa was our first stop in Napa and it didn’t disappoint. Wonderful views from the terrace with the bay and even San Francisco in the distance. Great selection of wines for the tasting, the Spanish influences are obvious. We had Drake guiding us through the tasting, he was very informative and a good sense of humor.Visited April 2023Traveled with friendsWritten April 24, 2023
- xsdv8Hoover, Alabama200 contributionsStill a FavoriteI love Artesa wines! The Albarino is so delicious, and their Pinot Noir is in a class of its own. My absolute favorite is the Meritage, which has been renamed Pinnacle. The steward was incredibly helpful in helping determine which I was taking about since, as I discovered< Meritage is more a "description" of the wine than an actual name. Anyway, shout out to ARJ for his superb guidance in out tasting. Also, can't say enough about Platypus Wine Tours for helping me arrange the tasting!Visited June 2023Written June 28, 2023
- BadforeverLondon, Canada811 contributionsAmazing views, stunning building, delicious winesWe chose our visit after a random Google search looking for wineries with a view. Their website said walk-ins welcome. We learned upon arrival that walk-ins are only accepted based on how busy they were. In our case, they were able to accommodate us on the patio. Protected from the hot sun by big umbrellas. Beautiful views over the countryside. San Francisco can be seen in the distance. We chose to drink by the glass instead of a sampler flight. The chardonnay and the albarino were delightful.Visited November 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 3, 2023

The wine tasting hall is modern and bright, and the wine we tasted was good. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.Visited November 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 14, 2023
- SpotChecker37 contributionsBeautiful modern winery with stunning views!This was our first trip to wine country. I asked the concierge at the hotel we were staying for their top three vineyards and he recommended Artesa. In the heart of Napa, this is truly a gem. It is a beautiful, modern winery, very clean. We bought a bottle of their Sauvignon Blanc and enjoyed the outdoor patio. We met another couple from Chicago and had a pleasant conversation with them. Although we did not have reservations for a tasting, the staff was accommodating and engaging. The patio has panoramic stunning views!Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 26, 2023
- afootdrLouisville, Kentucky31 contributionsWho knew ??My youngest son moved to San Francisco recently and just had to take us here for a tasting. Who knew he would become such a connoisseur? The afternoon was very enjoyable. The venue was beautiful. Wine was delicious. The afternoon was enhanced by our guide Anne , who was pleasant, fun and so knowledgeable. Just enjoyed listening to my son and her talk wine. Had a wonderful afternoon. Would definitely do it againVisited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 11, 2024

I'd read about an art exhibit on the tour, but that's no longer part of the experience... and the tour itself was less informative than others. The tasting at the end was cramped and standing room only (in the least attractive part of the winery). The winery itself is pretty, but reservations are required for the nicer tasting room... and the tour does not get you in. I planned for this and tried to get two separate reservations, which was impossible via cellar pass. In email communications, a miscommunication occurred and the staff could not accommodate a day of request for a pixtos tasting, despite the miscommunication. No effort was made to provide alternatives (like wine without food). The general vibe was fairly trendy, unhelpful and self-important. In the end, we much preferred our experience at Etude.

Thank you for your feedback. I apologize about any confusion regarding your reservation. Unfortunately we can not accommodate day of requests for the Pintxos or Tapas tastings as the chef buys the ingredients fresh the morning of the tastings. However, the caviar, chocolate and cheese pairings are always available. The tour does include a tasting of five wines at it's conclusion and we also have charcuterie plates available if you prefer a food alternative.

Well, if we got to experience the winery like the lucky people that got to sit outside on the patio, then this would have been wonderful. Apparently, the reservation system decides who gets the beautiful scenic tasting and who gets to sit in a small courtyard, and there is no way o make changes if you get unlucky like we did. We, as well as several other parties, got to feel like second-class citizens sitting in a small courtyard while others got the view of a lifetime. There was no difference in the price of the tastings, no way to upgrade. We even bought about $700 worth of wine between our 2 couples and some items from the gift shop. Left really annoyed by the experience. The other folks in the court yard were equally as mad. Felt like those of us in the court yard subsidized other people's good time.

We booked a chocolate tasting and when we arrived, we were informed (after asking) that it wasn’t available. The wine was okay-Nothing impressive and definitely not worth the $120.00 we paid for the experience. The view was beautiful and that was its only redeeming quality. Our host was young, inexperienced and not knowledgeable about wine. From what we could hear, all the hosts were scripted and shallow as it pertains to the wine experience.

Very disappointed with our expericne here. After waiting to be greeted by the hostess who was missing in action for a full 20 minutes we were then shown to a high table where were promptly ignored again. The restaurant was full with very few servers who all looked unhappy to be there so decided to leave and spend our money elsewhere. It's a shame because the vinyard is spectacular but doesn't delvier beyond the drama of its location and architecture. This is just a business for ARTESA it has no heart or soul. Visit for the view and then go elsewhere for the wine.

Artesa Winery is a breath taking site. However the tasting experience was horrible.
There were 4 in our party. We were seated outside with a beautiful view. We were not greeted or asked anything but which tastings we wanted by the wait staff.
The heaters they used, it was a rainy/cold day, must have been leaking as it smelled like spoiled eggs and gassy. We, ourselves turned off the propane heater being warm wasn't worth a headache :(
We signed up for both tastings offered (2 each) the person brought them in 2 crafes each time even though their were 4 people.
We had to pour our own wine out, half and half. Very small pours too.
Total waste of time and energy. With so many winneries why waist your money on this.

Our party of 3 had a 4:00 reservation, which I think is the last reservation they offer ( 4-5). We were greeted fine and told we could sit inside or outside and we choose outside. It took awhile to get our first pour and after that it took a long time ( I think 20- 25 minutes at least) to get the second pour while finishing with other tables.
We then kind of strangely got the 4th and 5th pours served together as she said "we are closing soon so I want you to have these both to enjoy now". While thinking about it, we realized we didn't get our third one and went back inside to say we needed that. It was given by someone else and very apologetic about it. There was also someone next to us complaining about their service as well and wanted to speak to someone there about it, which made us a little uncomfortable/ awkward ( I know they can't do anything about who sits next to you).
Overall, just not a great experience.

We came here as part of a bigger group of conference attendees. The views are typical of a vineyard and there was a beautiful sunset that night. Very modern architecture and the fountains leading up to the entryway are beautiful. Wines were OK. This winery was in the movie "Wine Country".

Went to check out Artesa on 11/17. We had a reservation that we booked on Tock a few days in advance, as soon as we got there we were treated great! Our tasting started 1pm, and we were able to sit outside to enjoy the pretty views. The tasting was filled with a bunch of different styles. We purchased a bottle of the Rose' !

By all means visit, walk around, but don't bother with a wine tasting.
The views are really nice, but the wine tasting is way overpriced at $65 for 5 (small) tastes. By comparison other top wineries (Groth, Cakebread, Krug, ZD as examples) charge $50 (any many are less). Artesa doesn't even pour their top wines for that price; you get their mid-tier. And the wines are average at best (I realize this is subjective).
By the way the Chardonnay and Pinot grapes are from the winery but others are purchased from wherever (sonoma or further afield)..
It is likely the person pouring your wine is a temp, part time worker, rather than someone employed by the winery.
(Oh, also don't be misled that there is any food with the tasting. It might seem that way based on how the web site is written but when you get to the ordering page you have to be careful and pick one of the even more expensive offerings).
Overall Artesa comes across as a corporate place, run by marketing people, who are selling a view rather than wine. Come for the view, but then go away and do your tastings.

This winery looked and felt like a modern art museum. When we arrived it took about 10 minutes for someone to greet us (seemed to be a slow day). We had requested a patio seat but were told it was too windy outside. Overall we just didn't get the interaction with the staff or the storytelling about the winery, the owners or the wine that we did at other places. Just felt like a very sterile experience.

Artesa and B. Cellars. Do the Oakville Trek at B. Cellars. Also go to V. Sattui for their pairing lunch. Both b. Cellars and V. Sattui are outstanding pairing experiences. $65 and $75 per person. Book in advance.
Conn Creek's AVA blending experience is a can't miss. You blend, bottle and cork your own bottle, design the label and take it with you. You do this all while tasting world class Cab!
$95 per person, book in advance.
Also Jamieson Ranch on weekends has music, great views of the southern valley and they bring in their "light horses". Great wine and an relaxing atmosphere. Check them out.
