Laird Family Estate: Laird Family Estate is a 14,000 case winery located just off highway 29 near the town of Napa. Although ground was broken for the winery in 1998, Ken Laird and his family had been growing grapes in Napa Valley since 1970. They are best known for their Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Jillian’s Blend.

With the help of Robert Mondavi, who consulted Ken on proper vineyard management, the Lairds transformed a former prune orchard into one of the premier Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in the valley. Still a family affair, Laird Family Estate attracts visitors from all over the world to its iconic pyramid-shaped winery room.

The tasting list offers an variety of white and red wines ranging from Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay to Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition to its tasting room, Laird also houses an innovative custom crush facility, where local vintners have access to storage and winemaking equipment. Consulting Winemaker, Brian Mox, adds his expertise and has crafted wines not of overwhelmingly fruit immensity, but of elegance and polish, reflective of their origins.

Terrific wine. I joined the wine club. Excellent all around. Cannot find these wines on east coast, so it looks like some of my shipments will become gifts

Laird Family is a striking winery, located just off of Highway 29. You're welcomed to the winery by a long driveway up to the tasting room, which is elevated above the surrounding vineyards. The day I went was kind of rainy, but it looked like they had a nice patio for picnics and tasting. The tasting room was casual and relaxed and there were some gift items for sale. I went early in the morning on a weekday, so I had the whole place to myself. They also have an enormous custom crush facility behind the winery, which seemed like a good idea for all those little vintners who want access to winemaking equipment.
