We will taste outside by the pool
During the tour, we will taste Signorello wines outside by the reflection pool that sits high atop Napa Valley's Silverado Trail. This area is generally used for private parties that are setup to eat dinner oustide and drink Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Signorello’s continued to establish roots in Napa by expanding wine production and building the winery that still stands on the property today. By the end of the 1980's, the Signorello family was thoroughly committed to making wine, growing grapes and mastering the French Burgundy style of winemaking known as vigneron – involving the winemaker in harvesting the grapes, blending and bottling of wine. This “hands-on” approach to winemaking is one of the most important tenets of Signorello Vineyards.
