Welcome to Howell Mountain AVA, where breathtaking views and diverse vineyards await your exploration. Our region, nestled in rolling hills and boasting unique microclimates, showcases the best of Napa Valley wine country. At Howell Mountain, we take pride in our distinctive climate, thanks to our high altitude above the valley floor.

Our evenings are warmer and our days cooler, ensuring a balanced and consistent temperature for grape cultivation. With nearly double the rainfall of the valley below, our rocky and porous soil provides excellent drainage while maintaining the perfect moisture levels. Rooted in tradition, our soil plays a crucial role in the intensity and variety of our grapes.

Decomposed volcanic ash and iron-rich red clay create nutrient-poor conditions, resulting in small clusters and berries that produce intense wines. The combination of altitude, thin soil, and dry conditions gives our wines a firm structure, outstanding varietal intensity, and exceptional aging potential. Indulge in the richness and complexity of our wines, which reflect the unique character of Howell Mountain.
