Great Art Collection in Southern Napa
This destination winery houses a world class modern art collection on several floors of an historic stone barn, facing another barn that houses a state of the art winery. Hess has vineyards around California and offers a wide line of products, but many high end wines are only available here at the winery. The tasting room and gift shop are worth seeing by themselves. They also so a nice tour.
The barns are classic historic Napa and owned by the Christian Brothers Winery who have their center next door. Hess is located on Mount Veeder in the southwest corner of Napa, north of Carneros. The ride there on Redwood road is winding and a bit out of the way. If it wasn't for the outstanding art collection the winery might not get as much traffic, but the winery experience is impressive and they stay pleasantly busy. Wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Syrah, Late Harvest Riesling, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Syrah Rosé, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Semillon, Shiraz, Blends, Olive Oil, Vinegar. AWG Rating 94
Wineries Nearby: All of the other wineries nearby are small and by appointment. Mayacamas wines, Fontanella Family and Hendry Wines. Artesa and Domaine Carneros are to the south and open without appointment.
