3700 Soda Canyon Road, Napa, CA 94558 Phone: 707-257-8700 Hours: By Appointment Only Club/Discounts: No Club Tasting Fees: $20; Refundable with Purchase We had a great time at Antica. The estate is located at the end of Soda Canyon Road, at 1800 feet above sea level on the Vaca Mountain plateau (Atlas Peak). The winery is owned by the Antinori family from Italy and is about 1200 acres of mostly Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate is stunning with incredible views. The tasting is actually done Italian style, in the kitchen of the house, which we really enjoyed. We were treated to a cheese plate and had a great conversation with the two Kim's who were working that day. The wines were excellent, the location stunning and the tasting was very unique in the kitchen. A great experience and definitely recommended |
