Home · Napa Valley wineries · Hess Persson Estates
Hess Persson Estates is a Mount Veeder destination where the drive, elevation, art and vineyards all contribute to the experience. The estate sits above the Napa Valley floor and combines wine hospitality with the Hess Collection of contemporary art. Cabernet Sauvignon and other mountain-grown wines are central, while Chardonnay, Malbec and red blends provide additional range.
A basic bar tasting works for visitors who want a relatively short introduction. The Estate and Reserve tastings move into more focused selections, while the property becomes much more distinctive when guests add art, cellar or vineyard exploration. The ATV Vineyard Tour is the adventure-oriented option, taking visitors into the mountainous estate for a closer look at the vineyards before or during the wine experience. That makes Hess Persson meaningfully different from a conventional roadside tasting room.
This winery is ideal for travelers who like art, mountain scenery or vineyard exploration as much as wine. Because the route up Mount Veeder is slower and more winding than valley-floor driving, treat the estate as a destination rather than squeezing it between tightly timed appointments. Road conditions or construction can also make additional travel buffer worthwhile.

Planning a day around Hess Persson Estates
Treat Hess Persson as a mountain destination, not a quick valley-floor stop. Add extra drive time for Mount Veeder roads and current road conditions, and avoid a tightly scheduled appointment immediately afterward.
