About Us
Nestled in the foothills of the Napa Valley, on a historic Rutherford wine estate, you’ll find The Terraces—a family winery, orchard, and acetaia. For over 140 years, the property has been dedicated to cultivating high-quality wine grapes. The Terraces label, now 40 years old, proudly carries on the winemaking tradition established on the estate back in 1881.

With a legacy rooted in dedication, we strive to create epic wines that capture a sense of place and time. We use our experience and our craft to make each wine singular and something that we are proud of, while speaking to the vintage, to the grape, and to us.
