Nestled on the slopes of Mount Veeder, Hess Persson Estates offers one of the most unique experiences in Napa Valley. From exploring the vineyards by luxury ATV to tasting wines beneath towering redwoods and discovering contemporary art, every part of the visit offers something memorable.
Explore the Vineyards by ATV
The highlight of my visit was the Luxury ATV Vineyard Tour. Instead of heading straight to the tasting room, we explored the vineyards while learning about the history of Hess Persson Estates and why Mount Veeder has become one of Napa Valley’s most respected wine-growing regions.
One of my favorite moments was stopping beneath a grove of redwoods to enjoy estate wines while standing among the vineyards where the grapes were grown. It’s the kind of experience that gives you a deeper appreciation for every glass.
As we continued through the property, we even stopped to pick fresh berries growing alongside the trail, a reminder that the vineyards exist alongside a thriving natural ecosystem.
More Than a Traditional Wine Tasting
Back at the winery, we enjoyed a seated tasting beneath a beautiful canopy of wisteria, sampling four reserve wines that showcased the elegance and concentration Mount Veeder fruit is known for.
Hess Persson Estates offers a variety of unique experiences, from casual bar tastings to guided ATV tours, making it easy to find an experience that fits your style.
Don’t Miss the Art Museum
Before you leave, take time to explore the Hess Contemporary Art Museum, home to one of the largest private contemporary art collections in the United States. It’s an unexpected addition that makes Hess Persson Estates unlike any other winery in Napa Valley.
IHess Persson Estates combines mountain vineyards, exceptional wines, immersive experiences, and contemporary art into a visit that goes far beyond a traditional wine tasting.
