Miljenko “Mike” Grgich first gained international recognition at the celebrated “Paris Tasting” of 1976. Then, in a now-historic blind tasting, a panel of eminent French judges swirled, sniffed, and sipped an array of the fabled white Burgundies of France and a small sampling of upstart Chardonnays from the Napa Valley. When their scores were tallied, the French judges were shocked: they had chosen the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay, crafted by Mike Grgich,  as the finest white wine in the world. Mon Dieu! The results stunned the international wine establishment and immediately earned Mike a reputation as one of the greatest winemakers in the world.

We’re open daily from 9:30am to 4:30pm for tasting and sales with the exception of New Year’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. We are a family-friendly winery that welcomes walk-in visitors in our main tasting room where you are surrounded by oak barrels and the seductive aromas of wine in various stages of development.  We also offer private tastings with reservations.

We offer three wine clubs each with club exclusive discounts on wine, merchandise and even partner hotels.  Our clubs also offer complementary wine tasting and access to our grape stomp.

Check out the many benefits today and become part of the family.  Cheers.
