About Ceja Vineyards

Ceja Vineyards is a dedicated estate winery in the cool, wind-swept Los Carneros appellation straddling southern Napa and Sonoma, producing wines that reflect the character of marine-influenced clay soils and the cooling influence of San Pablo Bay. Amelia and Pedro Ceja's 1999 Napa and Carneros Latino family-owned estate — the first Latino-owned Napa Valley winery, f. The estate's commitment to quality viticulture and site-specific winemaking has earned Ceja Vineyards a respected place among the region's most consistent and genuinely food-friendly producers.

The Carneros growing environment shapes everything Ceja Vineyards produces. Marine-influenced clay soils and the cooling influence of san pablo bay define the estate's vineyard character, contributing the structure, natural acidity, and terroir specificity that distinguish the finest wines from this appellation. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and traditional-method sparkling wine form the backbone of the portfolio, with each variety expressing a distinct facet of the estate's unique growing conditions. Winemaking at Ceja Vineyards prioritizes transparency and balance over extraction, allowing the appellation's natural character to lead rather than winemaker intervention.

Visitors to Ceja Vineyards can expect a genuine and unhurried tasting experience that reflects the estate's commitment to quality and hospitality. The tasting room provides an authentic introduction to the estate wines and the Carneros appellation. Whether visiting for a focused flight or a deeper exploration of the estate's vineyard programs, Ceja Vineyards offers the kind of direct producer experience that wine tourism in California wine country is built on — knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely connected to the land and the wines it produces.
