The Calistoga Press Story
Calistoga Press is a family-owned Napa Valley producer rooted in the heart of the Calistoga AVA. Guided by a deep respect for the land, we focus on small-lot wines and estate-grown olive oil that express the character of our valley-floor vineyard and sun-drenched groves.
Every bottle reflects a hands-on approach—from farming to finishing—resulting in products that are elegant, authentic, and built to be enjoyed now or aged with intention.
Our Winemaker
Winemaker John Q. Smith brings decades of experience and a thoughtful, restrained style to Calistoga Press. Known for letting the vineyard speak first, John emphasizes balance, texture, and age-worthiness in every wine he crafts.
His careful attention to fruit selection, extended aging, and minimal intervention ensures each vintage captures both the nuance of the growing season and the enduring character of Calistoga.
