Berryessa Gap's connection to the land runs deep with farming roots going back several generations. Dan Martinez, Sr., father of the owners of Berryessa Gap, was a first generation farmer of Spanish immigrants. After establishing a successful orchard business in Winters, he partnered with winemaker and wine historian Ernest Peninou in 1969 to create a grapevine rootstock nursery that would become renown in Napa and Sonoma Valley vineyards and beyond. It is from these solid roots that Berryessa Gap Winery grew.
Located in historic Downtown Winters, our tasting room on Main Street offers a casual daytime setting for wine tasting and an elegant evening environment to enjoy live music, great local wine and a selection of traditional Spanish tapas. Memorable, low key and picturesque, our production facility and tasting room on Highway 128 anchors the eastern gateway to the Napa Valley and beyond.
