Madonna Estate Winery
5400 Old Sonoma Road, Napa, California
Located in the world-renowned Carneros wine region, which straddles the Napa Valley, the Madonna Estate is a unique winery utilizing dry-farming production and organic grapes. The vineyard is family-owned and operated by the Bartoluccis, who use a combination of traditional and modern winemaking techniques to produce handcrafted wines.
The idea behind Madonna Estate Winery is minimal intervention and as much natural growth as possible. Mild fog and cool temperatures create a unique microclimate in this area fed by coastal winds. Madonna Vineyard produces ten varietals including chardonnay, pinot noir, pinot grigio, and cabernet sauvignon. The tasting room is decorated in Italian Pompeii style to reflect the family’s heritage, and the Reserve room offers a tasting menu featuring five of their highest quality vintages.
*Tastings are complimentary or with a fee, depending on the quality of wines. *All wine-tasting participants must be 21 years of age or older. *There are two picnic areas and the estate is dog-friendly. *Guided tours from San Francisco typically include hotel pickup and may combine stops at nearby wineries like Hagafen Cellars and Domaine Chandon.
Madonna Estate is located at 5400 Old Sonoma Road, about 40 miles (64 km) northeast of San Francisco in the Carneros region of Napa. Follow US-101 over the Golden Gate Bridge and take CA-37 E to CA-121 N. Alternate routes depart from the East Bay.
