“The 2,000-acre Hudson Ranch is one of the most celebrated properties in Carneros. After decades of selling his fruit to other wineries, Hudson began making wines of his own in 2004. While Chardonnay is a can’t-miss specialty here, Hudson also produces an excellent, brooding, savory Grenache, and even tinkers with Aleatico, an extremely rare red grape that is fashioned here into a fragrant, peachy white wine.”

“Best overall: Hudson Ranch & Vineyards checks a lot of boxes. The Carneros winery has a deep history in Napa Valley; is a leader in sustainable farming; produces a variety of great wines; and the 2,000-acre property is stunning. You can even add a hike or picnic to your experience…
My go-to winery recommendations after 13 years in Napa Valley”
