Pestoni Family Estate Winery

Pestoni Family Estate Winery Making estate wines in the Napa Valley since 1892. Rutherford | Howell Mountain | St. Helena For us, winemaking is not a business; it is our heritage.
(392)

The Pestoni Family have been making wine in the Napa Valley since 1892. Our estate winery upholds the high standards and practices of our great-great-grandfather’s winemaking tradition without compromise. From growing to harvest, fermentation to bottling, every step in our process is accomplished by hand to achieve the purest expression of place. We are honored to produce premium wines that not on

ly express the distinct personalities of each of our estate vineyards, but also preserve something of our family history.

The work you don’t see shapes everything you taste.

High on Howell Mountain, 1,800 feet above Napa Valley, each vine at Three Tears Vineyard is carefully pruned by hand – guiding growth, balancing the vine, and setting the course for the growing season ahead.

Quiet, thoughtful work – one cut at a time.

Behind the scenes with the hands that care for every barrel at Pestoni Family Winery.

Racking day for our 2024 Quackenbush Mountain Barbera. Cellar Master, Manuel, carefully moves the wine off its lees, protecting each barrel with nitrogen and guiding the transfer with the bulldog, while Winemaker, Jeremiah, preps the stainless steel tanks for their next fill. And of course, tasting along the way.

It’s equal parts science, instinct, and patience — honoring the fruit, the vintage, and the family tradition in every step.

Wednesday evening, The Art of Pott brought our community together for a preview tasting highlighting Aaron Pott’s work across the wineries he helps shape.

Full glasses, familiar faces, and a room buzzing with great wine and even better company. A heartfelt thank you to those who joined us and to the team for welcoming the Pestoni family to such a beautiful evening.

Every vintage is a shared effort. 🍷

As our 2025 Lone Acre Cabernet rests, a small amount naturally evaporates overtime. Cellar Master, Manuel, and Winemaker, Jeremiah, are topping each barrel—a quiet but meaningful step that protects the wine as it matures.

It’s this steady, hands-on care that carries each vintage forward.

It's been 70 and sunny here in Napa (sorry, East Coasters!) and we've been so happy to return to welcoming folks for leisurely tastings in the sun and shade. Nic, our host with the most (and owner of the best smile around), is here to make sure guests have a wonderful experience and leave with plans to return soon. Curating a memorable day in Napa is what we do!

Our talented winemaking team united today to sample barrels of some of our heritage wines, including old vine Sangiovese (noted as 24SGOLD on the barrels). 2024 marks the year and Jeremiah Moore joined us for harvest and seeing these wines come together, in preparation for bottling, is truly exciting.

Can you tell Jeremiah is excited!?
Last year, we began a delicious new endeavor inspired by our Swiss-Italian heritage: Riserva Bianca, crafted from our estate’s beautiful Merlot. Yes—this is a white wine, currently aging sur lie in these 600-litre puncheons. White Merlot (also known as Bianco di Merlot) is a specialty of Switzerland’s Italian-speaking Ticino region, made by vinifying Merlot like a white wine, with the skins removed early to preserve a light, fresh, floral, and fruit-driven style. Never ones to rush a good thing, we are patiently enjoying how this wine is developing in barrel and can’t wait to share it!
