Project Profile: After Three Decades, Acclaimed Napa Winery Gets Roof it Deserves

Napa County, Calif., is perhaps known best for one thing — its incredible wines, which are considered some of the globe’s best. While varieties range, the Napa Valley standout is Cabernet Sauvignon, the bold red that benefits from the region’s sunny and warm, yet not too hot climate. Hundreds of wineries dot the region north of San Francisco and a wide swath of enthusiasts visit year-round.

One of the internationally acclaimed wineries in Healdsburg has been producing numerous regional wines for 30 years. Its physical facility houses both the winery and its tasting room. Recently, the winery decided it was about time to address ongoing issues with its roof. The top of the facility’s 8,000-square-foot entryway and focal point had been leaking since it was first constructed three decades ago. The result was sustained water intrusion damage from numerous past rain events, a partially closed facility, and the branding dilemma that comes with visitors entering a structure with rain bucket eyesores not aligning with the caliber of the wines coming out of the facility.
