Description

Markham Vineyards was one of Napa's first wineries, having started as the Laurent Winery in 1874 by Jean Laurent, an immigrant from Bordeaux, France. Current President Bryan del Bondio comes to winemaking honestly: Bryan's grandparents settled in the Napa Valley over 100 years ago and his father, Al, worked at Inglenook for 45 years. He taught his son about the unique and challenging art and science of winemaking and his mother, Marie, also spent 40 years at Inglenook.

 

With 350 acres of vineyard strategically located in several of Napa Valley’s best growing regions, Markham Vineyards selects grapes from several microclimates to achieve balanced and rich wines. Knowledge and experience are combined with Mother Nature to produce grapes for Markham’s award winning wines. Their ranches allow them to focus on ‘estate’ designate wines in their tasting room, while additionally creating consistent blends each and every vintage.

 

Included in this private tour and tasting for up to four people is 1.5L of Cabernet and 1.5L of Merlot!
