Experience Premium Wines at Artesa Winery

Established in 1991 by Ravents Codornu, Spain's oldest winemaking family, Artesa Winery blends centuries-old tradition with innovative techniques to craft premium wines in Napa Valley. Our estate vineyard in Los Carneros, spanning 150 acres across five ridges, produces world-class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other varietals through sustainable practices certified by Napa Green Land and Fish Friendly Farming. The winery's avant-garde architecture, designed by Barcelona architect Domingo Triay, reflects our commitment to harmonizing nature, art, and craftsmanship.

Led by Winemaker Paula Borgo, our team meticulously creates small-lot wines, harvesting, fermenting, and aging each parcel separately to express its unique character. Our dedication to excellence extends to curated tasting experiences, Spanish-inspired gourmet pairings, and exclusive events held in a setting recognized with the 2018 AIA Design Award. As stewards of both land and legacy, we uphold a 470-year-old winemaking heritage while pioneering the next generation of artisan wines.

I just visited Artesa for the first time today. I accompanied a girlfriend who is a member. We had an incredible experience. I live in SF and visit wine country frequently and have to say that Artesa is a notable place to visit. I genuinely enjoyed all of the wines we tasted which is unique for me. I must make note of Artesa employee Sylvia who was warm, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the wines. She made the tasting a very special experience.

Artesa is a splendid architectural experience thatll be great for anyone into stylistic buildings. The views are amazing as well.
Im pretty far from an experienced wine connoisseur, but their spanish carbenet stood out to me in the tasting session.
Charcuterie board was average at best, and they dont have any meal options so Ill strongly advice planning a meal before / after a tasting session

Cool spot that almost looked like an airport lounge with a fantastic view, in between the hills separated but a infinity pool. On a beautiful today, I'm sure the reelection of the sky in the water would be really pretty. Wide selection to try starting with sparkling down to reds. We needed to rush the end because they didn't have enough staff and we needed to go. The server had to run around to cover the whole table, honestly felt so bad for him. Then we ended up having to chug the last red . This was the most comfortable seating out of all of them with really pretty architecture

One of my favorite places! It's absolutely magical! The view is stunning the vibe extraordinary. I recommend reserving a tasting with food pairing to really have the full experience. We had the pleasure of having our very own Wine scholar (Andrew) educate us during our wine journey in Artesa! Food selected for the pairing was delicious I wanted more food and more wine. I love the graphics on the bottles! Wish took more pictures of them. As a female I am happy to say that the wine maker is a woman. I believe her name is Ana !
