About Laird Family Estate
Laird Family Estate has a rich history in the wine industry, with over 50 years of experience in grape growing and winemaking. Established in 1999, the estate focuses on producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique characteristics of their Napa Valley and Carneros vineyards. With a commitment to meticulous farming and traditional family values, Laird Family Estate offers a distinctive wine experience that showcases the essence of the land.
Why Visit Laird Family Estate
Big Red's Flight pours five reds from easy-drinking Merlot to the flagship single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, a progression that shows what Laird does with the small fraction of grapes it doesn't sell to other premium wineries. For visitors curious about Oak Knoll fruit character, it's a direct line into how one of the valley's largest farming families farms for itself.
- Big Red's Flight ($60) finishes with flagship single-vineyard Cabernet
- 2,000+ acres farmed; 97% sold to other wineries, 3% kept for Laird label
- Custom crush facility on-site processes client fruit alongside estate wine
- Veraison Flight ($50) pours five wines starting with Sauvignon Blanc
- Estate established 1999 after nearly 50 years in grape growing
The Setting
Laird Family Estate sits at 5055 Solano Avenue in the Oak Knoll District, open daily from 10:00am to 5:00pm. The custom crush facility shares the property, a reminder that this is a working operation first and tasting room second. Reservations are required, and the physical space reflects the family's nearly 50 years of grape-growing infrastructure rather than showroom polish.
The Tasting Experience
Veraison Flight ($50) pours five wines from light-bodied white to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, while Big Red's Flight ($60) runs Merlot through the single-vineyard Cabernet. Bottle Service ($65 per person for groups of nine to twelve) lets larger parties settle in with a bottle. A Winery Tour & Tasting ($125) walks guests through the crush facility, where Laird processes fruit for custom clients alongside its own production.
