A Napa Valley escape that’s just an hour from San Francisco, but worlds away from the usual. Sinegal Estate is right in the heart of Napa Valley, at the base of the gorgeous Mayacamas Range, a few minutes outside of St. Helena. Known historically as The Inglewood Estate, our 30-acre retreat is one of Napa’s oldest and most coveted.
History:
After acquiring the 30-acre property known as the Inglewood Estate for $7,500 in 1879, Alton Williams planted the first vines here in 1881. Production at this Napa Valley winery was continuous through many different generations of winemakers before the Sinegal family purchased the St. Helena property in 2013. A multi-million dollar expansion and modernization produced the first wines under the Sinegal label just a year later to enviable critical reviews and ratings.
Terroir:
Residing in the heart of the renowned St. Helena AVA of Napa Valley, the legacy of the Sinegal Estate is perfect soil, subtle microclimates and a variety of terrains. We’re proud to have inherited noble vines that allow us to produce celebrated, award-winning Napa Valley wines. As unique as a fingerprint, our terroir is like none other anywhere.
