Originally founded in 1895,the Larkmead estate has been under the stewardship of the Solari-Baker family since 1948. Since that time, the family has steadily farmed, replanted, and nurtured the 115-acre vineyard to produce some of the most recognized wines from Napa Valley. In support of Larkmead’s winemaking history, modern facilities were built in 2004, and expanded in 2014, utilizing state of t

he art equipment and design. Over the past 20 years, Larkmead has focused on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet-based blends. In this time, Larkmead wines have garnered over 140 scores of 95 points and above – two of which earned a perfect 100-point rating – a testament to the brilliance and quality of the vineyard and winemaking, and the dedication of the Solari-Baker family’s pursuit of excellence.

Each summer, our fallow vineyard avenues come alive with vibrant wildflowers, including "Farewell to Spring" clarkia, tidy tips, lupine, cornflowers, and California poppies, which create a habitat for the pollinators that play a vital role in a healthy vineyard ecosystem. As a proud Napa Green and CCOF certified organic estate, we cultivate these flowering corridors to support biodiversity, improve soil health, and provide essential resources for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.

During Pollinator Awareness Month, we're celebrating the beauty—and purpose—of these blooms, which reflect our commitment to thoughtful farming and stewardship of the land for generations to come.
