Hendry Winery: A Napa Valley Legacy

Discover Napa Valley's quieter side at Hendry Winery, a family-owned estate since 1939. The Hendry family has been cultivating grapes on this land since 1939, when George and Margaret Hendry purchased the property. However, the history of winemaking on the site stretches back even further, with pioneering winemakers Frederick and John Sigrist planting vineyards as early as 1859. Unlike some of Napa's more ostentatious estates, Hendry exudes a down-to-earth charm. The focus here is on the wine itself, and the deep connection the Hendry family has with their land. The 203-acre ranch, with 117 acres planted, is located in the hills northwest of Napa, near the base of Mount Veeder. This unique location provides a diverse range of microclimates and soil types, allowing Hendry to successfully grow eleven different grape varietals. The vineyard is divided into 49 distinct blocks, each managed individually to optimize the expression of its specific terroir. Tastings are available by appointment only, ensuring a personalized and intimate experience. Visitors can sample a variety of Hendry's estate-grown wines, crafted with an emphasis on balanced alcohol levels, dry styles, and subtle oak influence. The knowledgeable staff is passionate and eager to share their love of wine and the Hendry story.
