Volker Eisele: Exceptional Winemaking in Napa Valley's Chiles Valley District

Located in the Chiles Valley District, a cooler sub-appellation of Napa Valley, Volker Eisele Family Estate benefits from the region's unique climate. Nestled slightly east of Napa, the estate's vineyards are often shrouded in Pacific fog, creating an ideal environment for a long growing season. This climate contributes to the structure and depth of their wines. Established in 1974, the winery reflects the dedication of the Eisele Family to cultivate high-quality vines and produce exceptional wines. The 400-acre estate has historical significance, originally part of land granted to Joseph Chiles in 1843, with several original structures still in use today.

Certified Organic Vineyards

Spanning sixty hectares and reaching elevations of 1,100 feet, the estate's vineyards thrive in a unique combination of soil, climate, and rainfall. Committed to organic and sustainable farming practices since 1974, Volker Eisele Winery avoids chemical fertilizers and pesticides, allowing the natural qualities of the land to shine through in their wines.

World-Class Wines from Volker Eisele Winery

While Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship grape of the estate, the winery also cultivates Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Semillon, and Sauvignon Blanc. Utilizing seven different clones of Cabernet, they create blended wines with diverse and distinct characteristics. The wines produced here are a true reflection of the terroir, showcasing the quality and richness of the region. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the velvety textures and complex flavors that define Volker Eisele's offerings.

Like Napa used to be. A tasting at this winery in the Chile's valley includes a walk through the all organic vineyards. This is a very special family vineyard with an environmental emphasis. The founder was on the forefront of environmental preservation of Napa valley. The wines are devine and a visit here is well worth the trip!
