About Madonna Estate Winery
Madonna Estate Winery, a family-owned establishment since 1922, is renowned for its commitment to organic winemaking, utilizing 100% organically grown grapes from their estate vineyard in Napa Valley's Carneros region. The Bartolucci family, who have been crafting wines for over a century, pride themselves on producing wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the vineyard and the vintage, all while maintaining a tradition of minimal intervention in the winemaking process.
Why Visit Madonna Estate Winery
Madonna Estate still welcomes walk-ins daily from 10am to 5pm, a rarity in modern Napa Valley. For $30, visitors taste five of the ten single-varietal wines the Bartoluccis bottle from their own organically grown grapes, each one reflecting minimal winemaker intervention.
- Bartolucci family has farmed this vineyard since 1922, now in its fourth generation
- 100% organically grown grapes, dry-farmed without irrigation
- Walk-ins welcome daily 10am–5pm, rare among Napa wineries today
- Ten single-varietal, estate-bottled wines all from one Carneros vineyard
- Club Carneros members receive 20% discount on all wine purchases
The Setting
The vineyard sits 40 miles northeast of San Francisco in Carneros, the first viticulture area north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Cozy tables adjoin the estate vineyard where the Bartolucci family dry-farms without irrigation. Guests choose between standup bar seating or outdoor tables alongside vines that have been organically farmed for over a century.
The Tasting Experience
Both the Indoor/Outdoor Tasting and Reserve Tasting cost $30 and pour five wines from the estate's ten single-varietal bottlings. Visitors choose standup bar seating or tables next to organically grown vines. The Bartolucci family's winemaking team keeps intervention minimal, so each pour speaks to the vintage, the variety, and this particular Carneros site.
