Monticello Vineyards

Monticello Vineyards is a family-run winery in Napa Valley, known for its Jeffersonian inspired estate and manicured gardens on Big Ranch Road. Founded by the Corley family, the property evokes the spirit of Monticello with a stately tasting house and quiet lawns. The setting feels classic and welcoming, offering visitors a calm place to explore Napa wines. The winery produces estate grown bottlings under the Monticello Vineyards label along with limited CORLEY reserves. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the portfolio, supported by Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Merlot that highlight the cooler Oak Knoll District and select Napa vineyards. Small lot selections and occasional library releases showcase balance, structure, and a focus on site. Guests typically enjoy seated tastings by reservation, with attentive hosts who guide flights tailored to interest and time. Experiences may include a stroll through the grounds or a closer look at production details when offered, creating a thoughtful pace for learning and conversation. The location is convenient to the town of Napa yet feels tucked away. Check current hours and tasting options before you go for the smoothest visit.
