The winery is open by appointment only so it is a must to call in advance and make a reservation. Three wines are produced, a Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and a Chardonnay. The setting is gorgeous! It is a little tricky getting to Fontanella. Take Redwood Road off Highway 29 and head west for 2 miles. Take a left onto Brown Valley Road and then a right onto Patrick Road for 2.2 miles.<\/p>\n<p>Tasting by appointment, 48 hours advance notice.

Owner George Hendry and his nephew operate this small winery. The winery is open only by appointment, but George Hendry loves to have visitors come and taste his delicious wines. The vineyards are separted into small plots, each a microclimate. Each plot grows whatever grape George concludes will do best in this area of his vineyards. The results are deliciious wines. To get to the Hendry winery, take the Redwood Road exit off HIghway 29. On Redwood Road, go to the left when the road splits (about one mile). Continue another 1.5 miles. Watch on the right for the tiny Hendry sign at 3104 Redwood Road. You will need to call several days prior to your trip to make an appointment to visit this wonderful winery.<\/p>\n<p>Tasting open by appointment only.

The Hess Collection Winery is a spectacular winery. The gardens are lovely and the walk to the tasting room takes you through a reflecting pond on one side and a beautifully covered wall of ivy on the other side. Consider taking the self-guided tour, it is quite informative. This winery is a popular destination spot and it can be crowded on the weekends. The Hess Collection offers a variety of wines in the Visitors Center, including Small Block Series wines produced only for sale there. These wines participate in the 1% For The Planet program, donating a percentage of sales for environmental efforts. There is also the Hess Art Collection museum which is open the same hours as the tasting room and is certainly worth a look.<\/p>\n<p>Tasting room is open daily 10 am to 5:30, (707) 255-1144<br \/>\ne-mail: info@hesscollection.com,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hesscollection.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hess Collection Winery<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Tips for your Napa Valley Sparkling Wine Tour<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>You are encouraged to have a designated driver.
