Grgich Hills Estate
December
Co-founded by Miljenko “Mike” Grgich and Austin Hills, Grgich Hills Estate is a storied and family-owned winery in Napa Valley. With five vineyards and hundreds of acres across the region, the winery tailors each site to specific varietals–like their Zinfandel grown in the sun-soaked Calistoga Vineyard and their legendary Chardonnay grown in the summer fog of the Carneros Vineyard.
The winery’s legacy began in 1976 when Mike’s 1971 Chardonnay was crowned the finest white wine at the Paris Tasting, proving California’s wine potential. Since then, Grgich Hills has garnered numerous accolades, including recognition from Wine Spectator Magazine as Winery of the Year and serving esteemed guests like Queen Elizabeth II.
They lead with the philosophy, “great wines begin in the vineyard,” and live it out by emphasizing biodiversity and regenerative farming. Grgich Hills nurtures healthy plants and rich soil with natural solutions like planting flowers to attract beneficial insects and grazing sheep to promote soil health. These efforts not only enhance the terroir in each bottle but also allow their wine production to leave a positive impact on the environment.
