About Hendry Winery
Hendry Winery, located in the picturesque Napa Valley, has been a family-run estate since 1939, emphasizing a winemaking philosophy that values straightforwardness and quality. With 114 acres under vine, the winery produces wines exclusively from estate-grown grapes, showcasing the unique terroir influenced by the nearby marine climate. Visitors can enjoy guided tastings on the charming front porch of the farmhouse-like winery, where knowledgeable staff provide insights into the wines and the estate's rich history.
Why Visit Hendry Winery
The Winemaker's Reserve Flight pours limited-edition Reserve wines alongside small-production varieties like Petit Verdot and Primitivo, all grown in 114 estate acres farmed by the same family since 1939. It's a rare chance to taste how marine air from nearby San Pablo Bay shapes everything from Albariño to Blocks 7 & 22 Zinfandel on a single property.
- 114 estate acres farmed by the same family since 1939
- Winemaker's Reserve Flight ($100) pours Primitivo and Petit Verdot
- Blocks 7 & 22 Zinfandel and Block 28 Zinfandel come from named parcels
- San Francisco Chronicle named Hendry a Top 20 Winery for five consecutive years
The Setting
Hendry's farmhouse sits at the base of Mt. Veeder, just northwest of Napa, where San Pablo Bay's marine air funnels through. Tastings happen on the front porch, an unhurried setting where staff walk visitors through the ranch's history and the 114 acres that stretch out from the building. The location feels more like a working ranch than a polished destination, which is exactly what it has been since George W. and Margaret Hendry arrived in 1939.
The Tasting Experience
Guided tastings take place on the farmhouse porch, where staff pour through wines like the Barrel Fermented Chardonnay, Block 28 Zinfandel, and Cabernet Franc while explaining how marine influence from San Pablo Bay affects each block. The Hendry Classic Tasting ($75) moves from white to red, light to structured, covering the breadth of what grows here. The Winemaker's Reserve Flight ($100) focuses on limited-edition Reserve bottlings and small-lot wines like Malbec and Petite Sirah that most visitors never encounter.
