Duckhorn Headquarters

We are proud to continue to offer the outstanding wines from Duckhorn Vineyards. Founded in 1976 by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn, this family-run winery, whose first vintage was 1978, is considered one of the top wineries in California today.

The winery is located on a 10-acre parcel along the Silverado Trail just north of St. Helena in the Napa Valley.

Duckhorn Vineyards owns 100 acres of prime vineyard land and has long-term contracts with approximately 30 Napa Valley growers. Grapes come from the great appellations of Howell Mountain and Carneros well as some elevated benchland throughout the Napa Valley.

All grapes are hand-picked and hand-sorted prior to crushing. The wines are fermented and barrel-aged separately by vineyard lot until the final blend is created. 100% French oak barrels are used. With such limited production, they are able to follow their wines with great attention to detail, ensuring premium quality wines.

The winery produces approximately 50,000 cases of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
