BURGESS CELLARS TASTING

Join Burgess Cellars Hospitality Manager Marcos Coronado for an exclusive, private tasting with a renowned estate in Napa.

Burgess is among Napa Valley’s greatest historical estates. Since its genesis in 1972, the winery has embraced the role and importance of nature in crafting elegant wines from its pedigreed vineyards. From the slopes of the historical Sorenson Vineyard, first cultivated in the 1800s, to the St. Andrews Estate, where sheep, chickens, and pollinator gardens play a key role, their vineyards are regeneratively farmed to honor their past and protect the future.

Tom Burgess established Burgess Cellars in 1972, but these Howell Mountain slopes were first planted in the 1870s by Italian-speaking immigrants from the Swiss canton of Ticino. The Poncetta & Rossini families, in the way of their Alpine homeland, cultivated vines on the rugged mountainside at extreme elevations. With the same ambition and imagination, Lee Stewart planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah grapes on Howell Mountain’s steep hillsides, naming his winery Souverain, meaning “sovereign.” Subsequent Napa Valley greats also saw the high promise of the land. Before starting the historic Stag’s Leap and Grgich wineries, Warren Winiarski and Mike Grgich each learned his trade at the Estate known today as Burgess.
