Langtry Farms Vineyard & Winery

Langtry Farms Vineyard & Winery holds a significant place in Napa Valley's storied wine history, with roots tracing back to 1888. Founded by the passionate viticulturist, Elizabeth Langtry, it was one of the first wineries to embrace the unique terroir of the region. The winery’s rich history is interwoven with the growth of California’s wine industry, and its commitment to quality and tradition has been steadfast over the decades.

The winery's name pays homage to its founder, who was not only a pioneering woman in a male-dominated industry but also a visionary who planted the seeds for what would become a legendary vineyard. Today, Langtry Farms continues to honor that legacy by producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique characteristics of their high elevation vineyards in both Napa Valley and Guenoc Valley.

As you step onto the estate, you can feel the spirit of its history. The picturesque landscapes are dotted with meticulously maintained vines, surrounded by the natural beauty of California’s hills, providing a perfect backdrop for wine lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

At Langtry Farms, sustainability is not just a trend; it is a time-honored philosophy that shapes every aspect of the vineyard’s operations. The winery employs natural and sustainable farming practices that promote biodiversity and preserve the environment. The grapes are cultivated in well-drained volcanic soils that limit vigor, leading to lower yields but significantly more concentrated and flavorful fruit.

The winery specializes in classic French grape varietals, with a focus on producing single vineyard wines that have garnered acclaim from critics and connoisseurs alike. Each bottle tells a story of the land and the meticulous care taken in the vineyard. The high elevation of the vineyards ensures cooler temperatures, which contribute to the development of complex flavors and aromas in the wines.

Visitors can enjoy a range of tasting experiences, both indoors and outdoors, where they can savor these exquisite wines while taking in stunning views of the surrounding landscape. With an emphasis on quality over quantity, Langtry Farms offers a unique opportunity to taste the essence of Napa Valley through its thoughtfully crafted wines.

Langtry Farms Vineyard & Winery provides a variety of tasting experiences designed to immerse visitors in the world of wine. The indoor tasting room is elegantly appointed, offering a cozy setting for intimate gatherings and educational tastings. However, many guests opt for the outdoor experiences, where they can sip on fine wines while basking in the beauty of the vineyard.

During tastings, knowledgeable staff guide guests through the selection of wines, highlighting the unique attributes of each varietal and the sustainable practices that contribute to their production. The emphasis on single vineyard wines means that each tasting is a journey of exploration, allowing visitors to appreciate the distinct characteristics that different vineyard sites bring to the wines.
