It began with a vision. A belief in the possibility of something bigger and better - something that didn't quite exist yet. In the early 1970s, Napa Valley was a sleepy agricultural town on the brink of a fine-wine awakening. For half a century and three generations, the Joseph Phelps Vineyards team has followed in Joe's trailblazing footsteps for winemaking excellence, gracious hospitality, and sustainability efforts in our vineyards and wineries to preserve and enhance the cherished region we call home.
