Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, Freemark Abbey boasts a rich heritage as one of the region’s pioneering wineries. Established in 1886, it proudly holds the distinction of being the 16th bonded winery in Napa Valley and stands as one of the earliest producers of Cabernet Sauvignon in the area.

At its core, Freemark Abbey embodies a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. This ethos has led to several notable firsts in Napa Valley, from the region’s inaugural female vintner to the introduction of tasting rooms and wine libraries. It was the sole winery to showcase both red and white wines at the historic 1976 Judgment of Paris, solidifying Napa Valley’s global reputation.

The winery’s historic stone building, constructed in 1899, serves as a testament to its enduring commitment to craftsmanship and quality. Freemark Abbey’s vineyards, including renowned sites like Bosché, Sycamore, and Colline, grace Napa Valley’s picturesque landscape.

Freemark Abbey’s winemaking philosophy is rooted in crafting classically structured wines, with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Bordeaux varietals. Their dedication to quality is unwavering, and their wines, guided by Kristy Melton, the second female winemaker since 1886, continue to push boundaries while respecting the winery’s timeless legacy. Under her stewardship, Freemark Abbey remains a trusted name, celebrated by critics and enthusiasts alike for its exceptional wines and unwavering commitment to excellence.
