"The Hess Collection Winery’s founder, Donald Hess, was named one of the world’s top 200 art collectors by ARTNews in 2013, and the Hess Collection Winery on Mount Veeder gives tasting room visitors access to his extensive permanent collection in the Hess Collection Museum of Contemporary Art." - Layne Randolph

"Yes, the Hess Collection in Napa makes wine and sells it under the same name. But really, the brand is about something equally wonderful in entirely different ways: modern art. Owner and entrepreneur Donald Hess began collecting art in the 1960s, and the collection on display at the Mount Veeder winery and tasting room represents a small portion of the pieces he’s amassed since then. The three-story gallery is open to the public for free and displays work from artists Franz Gertsch, Francis Bacon, Leopold Maler, and others. Despite the high caliber of work on display, the Hess Collection gallery is relaxed and without pretense. Visitors can take self-guided strolls through the collection or sign up for a formal docent-led tour. This latter option provides guests with insider information about the art, and follows the tour with a private tasting of Hess Collection wine. Housed in a circa-1903 stone winery originally constructed by Colonel Theodore Gier, the building evokes the grandeur of yesteryear—especially in summer, when ivy covers the stone walls of the gallery."

An estate that makes organic wine, but which is especially interesting for its contemporary art gallery spanning several floors.

This is our favorite winery hands down. They have a very personalized experience to their tours and you really get to experience the winery. We have done the ATV tour and the cheese pairing experience. We are members and we attended a lobster feast this year. I'll say the art museum is very worth the visit by itself and so is just walking around the grounds, but it is enhanced by the staff who are extremely knowledgeable. The wine is amazing and for what it is, it is reasonably priced. I encourage anyone in the area to schedule a tour and a tasting. But know that you do need to schedule a time, you cannot just show up to the winery and taste. This is a big part of what creates such an intimate and personal experience.

We had such a great experience here! Our guide was so welcoming and knowledgeable. This was unique to other wineries we visited since we got a tour of the art gallery and the estate. Our guide was dedicated just to us for our visit and we left feeling like friends! The wine is excellent and we got more of an education here than any of our other stops.

Hess offers a really fun ATV tour and wine | food pairing. Our tour guide Michael was great and extremely experienced. There were several vineyards we visited where staff was new, which is understandable, but I appreciate someone that’s seen the business change over the years. The grounds were fun to see in the ATV, but the food and wine pairing were absolutely delicious. It was some of the best food and wine we had while visiting. Definitely better than any of the restaurants we went to. The experience was on the high side price wise, but worth it. Thanks for the fun experience!

My experience at Hess Persson Winery was nothing short of exceptional. Our tour guide, Michael, was an absolute gem. His passion for his job was palpable, and his explanations of the winemaking process and the identification of the various trees on the vineyard were enlightening. The wine itself was the highlight of our Napa weekend; in fact, it was the best we tasted throughout our numerous winery visits. The Hess experience truly stands out from the rest. The food pairings were thoughtfully curated and absolutely delicious, enhancing the tasting experience even further. I was so impressed that I immediately ordered wine to be shipped home, and I can't wait to join their wine club soon. Hess Persson Winery has set the bar high for wine tasting experiences in Napa Valley.

This was our favorite of all the wineries we visited while in Napa (Dec 28-30, 2024).We visited Hess on Dec. 29th. Erin was knowledgable about the history of the Hess family as well as the wines and also gave us a wonderful tour before our tasting. We loved ALL of the wines and enjoyed being able to have a tasting amongst the art collection. We enjoyed walking around on the other floors viewing the impressive art collection--I felt like we were in an art museum. My husband HATES wine clubs but loved the wined and experience so much, he joined their wine club and ordered wine to have shipped to our home in Virginia.

Visited in January for my birthday and they went above and beyond to make me feel extra special. Currently their tours are all private experiences for just your group. We were greeted with a Pinot Noir Rose before taking a tour of the cellar and barrel room where we got several pours of the Lion Tamer Cabernet Sauvignon. For the rest of our tasting, we were led upstairs to their art gallery. Unfortunately we ran out of time to look through most of the art but a more robust collection than what I was expecting. Our tasting consisted of the Lioness Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Celebration Cuvee. We also got to try their Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon at the end. Our favorites were actually the Pinot rose and lion tamer cab at the beginning of the tour as well as the Malbec. Highly recommend a visit!
