CALISTOGA, Calif. , Aug. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jayson Woodbridge, founder and owner of Hundred Acre Wine Group, has acquired Napa Valley's famed Kelly Fleming Winery, a 286-acre estate in Simmons Canyon between Calistoga and St.
Helena on the east side of Napa Valley facing almost due west. "When I acquired this property in 1998, I had a vision for creating an estate that would be worthy of this special volcanic canyon terroir. I've seen my dream come true," Kelly Fleming said.
"I've left this estate vineyard as beautiful as I found it. It has a tiny footprint, it's a memorable place to visit and celebrate Cabernet Sauvignon. I look forward to the Woodbridge family carrying on the legacy, bringing their masterful touch to the wines they'll create here," Kelly added.
"Kelly started her vineyard with Jim Barbour , Hundred Acre's viticulturist from the very beginning 25 years ago and in my opinion still one of the best in the world. Barbour Vineyards will be farming this land again for us," said Woodbridge. "Kelly smartly and very tastefully used Taylor Lombardo Architects to design her cave, winery and hilltop residence.
So too, Hundred Acre is also busy using Taylor Lombardo to redesign our ARK vineyard residence, the Fortunate Son Winery at the Historic David Fulton Ranch on Fulton Lane, St. Helena , the redesign of the former Madrigal winery and residence to a new Fortunate Son Winery on Highway 29, near Larkmead Lane and other projects. It's a perfect fit for Hundred Acr.
