Kenzo Estate
Kenzo Estate formally opened on July 1, 2010 upon completion of The Tasting Room. By establishing The Tasting Room, Kenzo Tsujimoto achieved his long-standing aspiration to be able to welcome guests to the estate for a Winery Tour and Tasting and share his love of this enchanting site. At the same time, Kenzo Estate opened a Tasting Room and Restaurant in Tokyo, Hiroo, mirroring The Tasting Room in Napa. A strong desire for owner Kenzo Tsujimoto, who was aware that everyone would not have the ability to travel to Napa, the Tokyo location intended to recreate the experience at the Napa Tasting Room without leaving Japan. The grand opening of Kenzo Estate Napa and Kenzo Estate Tokyo was the culmination of Kenzo Tsujimoto’s two decades devoted to crafting the finest quality wines imaginable.

Artesa Napa Valley
Celebrating 25 years of harvest, the beautiful doors of our groundbreaking winery were first opened in 1991.

Twenty five years later, Artesa continues to focus on improving our vineyards and wines each year to showcase their unique character and personality.
Perhaps no other winery captures the multi-faceted beauty of this windswept, world-famous appellation as dramatically as the Artesa estate, where the fusion of architecture, artistry and wine growing reaches soaring heights.
