Discover more about Louis M. Martini Winery

Louis M. Martini Winery, a cornerstone of Napa Valley winemaking, has been producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon since 1933. Founded by Louis M. Martini, an Italian immigrant with a passion for winemaking, the winery played a vital role in establishing Napa Valley as a premier wine region. Martini was a pioneer, championing dry wines, varietal labeling, and hillside grape growing, practices now common in the industry. The winery's history is deeply rooted in family tradition, with Louis M.'s son and grandson continuing his legacy. In 2002, the Martini family sold the winery to the Gallo family, who have continued the tradition of producing high-quality wines. Today, Louis M. Martini Winery offers a variety of tasting experiences to suit every palate. Visitors can explore the winery's iconic tasting room, which was meticulously restored in 2019 by renowned architect Howard Backen. The restoration preserved the original structure while creating a modern and immersive environment for wine enthusiasts. Guests can choose from curated tasting flights, food and wine pairings, and exclusive underground cellar experiences. The winery also features Martini Park, a beautiful outdoor space where guests can relax and enjoy wine al fresco.
