Heritage & History
While officially located at 1300 Montgomery Road in Napa Valley, Freeman Vineyard & Winery's true heart beats in the cool-climate region west of Sebastopol. This unique geographical positioning informs their winemaking philosophy, focusing on elegant and balanced wines reminiscent of Burgundy.
The winery's story is one of passion and dedication to crafting exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Founded with a vision to showcase the unique terroir of their vineyards, Freeman Vineyard has consistently earned critical acclaim for its commitment to quality and detail.

Terroir & Vineyard
Freeman Vineyard's success is deeply rooted in its commitment to terroir. Their vineyards are carefully selected for their cool-climate characteristics, allowing for slow and even ripening of the grapes. This results in wines with vibrant acidity, complex aromas, and elegant structure.
The vineyards benefit from the influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean, which brings cooling fog and breezes. This moderates the temperatures and extends the growing season, allowing the grapes to develop their full potential.
Sustainable farming practices are employed to ensure the health of the vineyards and the quality of the fruit. This dedication to environmental stewardship is reflected in the purity and expression of their wines.
Signature Wines & Winemaking
Freeman Vineyard & Winery is renowned for its critically-acclaimed cool-climate California Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. These wines are crafted in a sophisticated, Burgundian style, emphasizing elegance, balance, and finesse.
The winemaking process is meticulous and hands-on, with a focus on minimal intervention. The goal is to allow the terroir to shine through in the finished wine, showcasing the unique characteristics of each vintage and vineyard site.
From carefully selecting the grapes to gentle pressing and aging in French oak barrels, every step of the winemaking process is carefully considered to create wines of exceptional quality and complexity. The wines are known for their aromatics, silky tannins (in the Pinot Noir), and vibrant acidity.
