About Freemark Abbey Vineyard Winery

It began over a quarter of a century ago as a vision shared by a handful of pioneers; those with an intimate knowledge of grapes and a deep respect for the land. This vision took root, was nurtured by skilled hands and ultimately resulted in one of the first premium wineries in the Napa Valley. Today, the wine of Freemark Abbey Winery stands as a testament to what the rich earth of the Napa Valley is capable of creating when working in perfect harmony with nature.
