About Hudson Vineyards

Hudson Ranch is a roughly 200-acre working ranch and vineyard in the Carneros district of southern Napa Valley, purchased by Robert "Lee" Hudson in 1981, with the first grape harvest following in 1983. The property's viticultural history reaches back to the 1880s, when pioneering viticulturist George Husmann managed the land and conducted early phylloxera-resistant rootstock trials there.

Hudson farms with a minimal-intervention philosophy - Lee Hudson has said the only additions to the wine are "blood, sweat, tears and sulphur" - and the estate is best known for supplying prized Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and other fruit to roughly two dozen acclaimed Napa and Sonoma producers, including Aubert and Kongsgaard, alongside its own small-production estate bottlings. An on-site winery and cave opened in September 2018, and the working ranch also raises heritage livestock and grows olive oil, produce, and prize-winning pumpkins.

A Carneros ranch farmed since 1981 whose grapes supply nearly two dozen top Napa and Sonoma producers.
