Silverado Vineyards was founded in 1981, when there were a fraction of the producers in the Napa Valley that there are now. Over time, as new wineries came on line and everyone was racing to taste the latest and the greatest, it became easy to overlook something in plain sight. That’s exactly where Silverado Vineyards still is. The winery, in a prominent place on a hilltop above the Silverado Trail, maintains six estate vineyards in various places, totaling 352 acres. Every ounce of wine they bottle comes from grapes they grow on their own property.
