Seldom does a vineyard and winery opportunity with such an ideal location and scale present itself within Napa Valley. Benessere Vineyards is a namesake, valley floor, vineyard and winery offering complete with an attractive residence and guest home. The desirable up-valley location is convenient, and buffered from the well-traveled Highway 29 and Silverado Trail, at the end of the bucolic Big Tree Road., flanked by the Napa River. Encompassed by vineyards and the organic landscape of the Napa River, the agrarian setting is unrivaled, offering everything wine country often promises, but rarely delivers.

The offering totals approximately 42 acres, 29 of which are currently under vine or redevelopment. The gated drive meanders between vineyard rows and the native vegetation of the Napa River, leading to the winery and tasting room. Set among the vines, the winery and tasting room are easily accessible and central. The winery facility is sized appropriately to accommodate the production allowances of the current use permit and includes a covered crush pad, tank room, barrel room, and office space on the second level. The public tasting room is located opposite the winery in the same building, positioned in a way which creates space between the tasting and winery operations, yet close enough to add to the experience, creating a connection with the wine making process. A reimagined outdoor tasting area allows guests the ability to taste while surrounded by the estate's vineyards.

Along with the commercial aspects of the property, there is a residential element to the property as well. North of the winery and tasting are the primary and guest residences. Both are protected from the commercial aspects of the property by mature landscape. The residences are well-appointed and have been diligently cared for and show pride of ownership. Extensive decking and outdoor living spaces, which showcase vineyard and valley views, connect the two residences. From the water tower-styled guest residence, to the quintessential farmhouse detail, the residences compliment the commercial aspects of the offering while conveying a very classic and intimate Napa Valley presence. 

Steeped in Napa Valley history, the Benish Family acquired the land in 1994, recognizing the unique qualities and similarities to the Italian countryside which they had visited a decade earlier. The Benish’s went to work, replanting the property’s tired vineyards and revitalizing the improvements on the property, ultimately inspiring a boutique, Italian influenced wine label, Benessere Vineyards. In Italian, Benessere translates to “Living the Good Life”, which perfectly represents the experience at Benessere Vineyards. The brand has been a success, with a primary focus on growing Italian varietals and producing premium wines. 

Benessere Vineyards is a complete vineyard and winery offering in the heart of Napa Valley. The business and real estate opportunity is primed for individual and institutional interest, offering the ability to continue the Benessere Vineyard operations, relocate an existing brand and or create a lifestyle brand in an extraordinary location and setting
