Discover more about Madonna Estate Winery

Madonna Estate Winery, located on Old Sonoma Road in Napa, California, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Bartolucci family, one of the oldest winemaking families in Napa Valley. Since 1922, the Bartolucci family has been crafting wines with a deep respect for tradition and a commitment to quality. The family's winemaking journey began when Andrea “Andy” Bartolucci, who emigrated from Italy in 1913, purchased a vineyard in Oakville. Despite facing challenges such as Prohibition and a fire, the family persevered, eventually establishing the Mont St. John label. In the 1970s, they transitioned to their current location in the Carneros region, known for its cool climate ideal for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Today, Madonna Estate spans over 160 acres of certified organic vineyards. The Bartolucci family uses sustainable farming practices to cultivate healthy vines and protect the environment. Their dedication to organic farming is evident in their lush vineyards. Madonna Estate produces a diverse array of wines, including Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Dolcetto, Barbera, Riesling, and Gewürztraminer. Visitors to Madonna Estate are greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The tasting room, styled after Pompeii, offers a glimpse into the family's Italian heritage. Knowledgeable staff guide guests through a selection of Madonna Estate's acclaimed wines, sharing insights into the unique characteristics of each varietal. A standard tasting of 5 wines is $30 per person. The winery also offers a more intimate Reserve Tasting for a similar price. Madonna Estate also has picnic grounds available for visitors.
