The Corley family owns and manages some of the finest vineyard properties in the world and from them we produce wines of singular quality and distinction. Our 80 acre Monticello Vineyards estate in the Napa Valley with vineyards and winery, tasting room, as well as culinary and hospitality facilities has been a destination for fine wine lovers and visitors from around the world since the 1980's.
Now in our third generation, the family and our team members, some of whom have been with us for more than 30 years, welcomes you to our sustainably-farmed and solar-powered wine estate. When our father Jay Corley began searching for the sites he wanted to grow wine, he recognized that the best wines in the country were grown in Napa Valley.

Our 50th
Report
In 1969 our father, a successful L.A. businessman named Jay Corley, visited Napa Valley. He had, by this time, invested in a number of businesses. The opportunity to buy a prune orchard along the Napa River in what would later be designated as the Oak Knoll District, with its delicate climate, felt right to a "Burgundy guy" at the beginning of the wine movement in Northern California.
Vision & Mission
Report
We are very proud to be a family-owned and managed winery and vineyard company. Jay Corley, our founder, came to Napa Valley in 1969 seeking land to plant and grow an estate vineyard. Today, sons Kevin, Chris, Stephen, and Kent manage the business: Kevin is our Winegrower and President, Chris is our Winemaker, Stephen is our Director of Sales, Marketing, and Hospitality and Kent leads special projects.
Our Designations
Report
Since 1980, the Corley family has been hard at work crafting world-class wines from our vineyards. The majority of the wine we produce is from our home estate. We consider our Monticello Vineyards designated wines to be distinctive representations of the Napa Valley. These wines are styled to be rich and full bodied yet well-balanced and elegant.
