About
In 1970, Monticello founder Jay Corley bought land in the Napa Valley with a dream of creating the finest wines in California. Since that time, three generations of the Corley family have remained dedicated to his vision, handcrafting exceptional wines made from our own grapes grown on land we farm ourselves. Today, Monticello remains one of the few family-owned wineries in the Napa Valley. For over 50 years, our estate-grown wines have reflected our relationship with the land we own and steward. The care our family takes with the wines we make is evident through each step of the journey, from our footprints in the vineyards to our fingerprints on the barrels. Every Monticello wine tells a story of land, family, tradition, and craft. Discover Monticello and become a part of the story. DISCOVER MONTICELLO …

The grounds are gorgeous and so is the home, which does look like Monticello. However, our tasting guide was Japanese and very hard to understand, and although there were four seated tables, she stayed primarily at one. It’s worth visiting just for the environment

Hi shoesArkansas!
Thanks for coming to see us yesterday! We're so happy that you came to see us, and very happy that you enjoyed our wines, our gardens and also our Estate House. In addition to sharing our estate grown wines, we enjoy gardening and sharing the grounds with our guests!
I'm sorry that you found Coquito difficult to understand during your visit, we appreciate the feedback. She's a wonderful young lady from the Chengdu province of China, which itself is a major wine-growing region in China. She's a talented chef, and an avid student of wine, attaining multiple certificates from the WSET certification program. We're really happy to have her as part of our diverse team at the winery.
We appreciate the feedback, and hope that we'll have another opportunity to host you at MONTICELLO.
Thank you!

2019 Pinot Noir- tonight I enjoyed grilled lamb chops with my wine. What a perfect pair. The wine complements the dish percectly. The wine was smooth and slightly fruit forward to equally couner the lamb chops, seasoned with only Shilling McCormick Montreal Steak seasoning on the chops. I'll be visiting again from my Georgetown, Texas home to get some more.

This winery is excellent. The facility and grounds are beautiful, the wines were absolutely amazing (loved all of them) and they take care of our military with free tastings. Really really good wine and a great experience. Highly Recommended!!

We had an AMAZING time visiting with Kevin, Chris the tasting room staff and sampling their wonderful wines.
We will always stop in to see them when in Napa.
Loved the wines so much we joined the wine club. Love receiving the wines and remembering the good time we had while drinking them.

My wife and I did a tasting event. Beautiful grounds and wonderful wines and food pairing. Our host John was outstanding. We enjoyed it so much we came back again a few days later and did and other tasting. We had the opportunity then to meet the owner. Awesome experience!!

We went on a Friday, so it wasn't crowded. My wife and I were met by a lovely Polish young man with two glasses of wine for us. He started off by welcoming us with a nice rose' and then proceeded to give us a tour of the working winery.
After the tour we sat in the garden and proceeded with our tasting. Nice wines, excellent people and beautiful grounds make this a place we will continue to visit.

Last week, I went to Monticello/Corley along w/ my spouse & her brother. Wifey signed up for their Explorer Program. As part of the promo, they waived off Tasting Fees & offered a free bottle of wine. My in-law had visited Robert Mondavi on his previous trip to Napa. Per him, the interaction & information provided at Monticello was better in comparison to RM.

First time at this vineyard. It didn’t look like much compared to some other vineyards. Don’t let that stop you. We stopped in for a tasting. Sat outside to enjoy the weather. All I can say is wow ! The wine was superb. I ended up joining their wine club and am enjoying the selections. If in Napa you should visit here.

This vineyard is just a bit off the path but totally worth the drive. The grounds are really pretty and done very well! The tasting room sits behind a replica of Monticello - the Monticello building is really very neat inside if you’re lucky enough to get a tour of it. The wine library in the basement is fantastic!! This is a medium production winery and they do what they make well. All of the wines we tried were consistently good! My personal favorite was their rosé. We had a young man that did our tasting. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. We had a wonderful experience at this winery!!

Do you have picnic facilities where we can bring our own food and buy your wine?
Written September 1, 2015
A bit off the beaten bath, Monticello has lovely grounds and areas where you could picnic. It's a very low key tasting room and you can find several nice bottles of red or white based on preference and the meal.
