Embodying the phrase "a work of art" in every sense, from our world-class Napa Valley wines from Stags Leap to our extraordinary and eccentric architecture, we invite you to discover what makes Quixote special. The essence of Quixote's wines consists of our dedicated winemaking team staying true to the vineyard and letting the wines express the true meaning of our Stag's Leap Appellation terroir.
In 1989, Carl Doumani discovered the work of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and commissioned him to design a winery to combat notions of pleasurable wine being an absurdly, all serious pursuit. Know that you'll have a guaranteed share of Quixote's most distinctive wines. When you join our Membership, it is your opportunity to bring our 'works of art', fine wines directly to your home.

Our Story
Report
Quixote is a boutique gem in the Stags Leap District, producing just 2,000 cases annually. Our small production of Cabernet Sauvignon is only found at our winery and our Petite Sirah can be found at some of the Napa Valley's top restaurants and hotels.
The legacy of Quixote and its sought-after wines are above all, how our Winemaking chief Philippe Melka and Estate Winemaker B.R. Smith looks to stay true to the vineyard and let the wines express the true meaning of our Stags Leap Appellation terroir.Our unique vineyard has four distinct soil types and both east and west facing slopes giving us wines of great balance and complexity.

Vineyards
Report
It's an illustrious neighborhood that includes many of the founding fathers of Napa Valley. The soils vary across the Quixote property and are the result of volcanic eruptions that took place millions of years ago, as well as the slow erosion of the arid Vaca Mountains. The gravely soils, interspersed with cobblestones, are coarser and retain less water resulting in low-vigor vines that yield fruit with great intensity and flavor.
Place
Report
In 1989, Carl Doumani discovered the work of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, an Austrian painter, architect, ecologist and philosopher. Believing that the wine society had transformed a beverage of consummate pleasure into an absurdly serious pursuit, Doumani commissioned Hundertwasser to design a winery that combats these notions.
