Signorello Estate, Napa
Benchmark Napa Winery Opens State-of-the-Art Winery After Being Destroyed in 2017 Wildfires
The new menu showcases Ram’s Gate in-house Executive Chef Ruby Oliveros’ culinary background with fresh, Asian-inspired flavors and local ingredients. Highlights of the menu include the pork belly “musubi,” paired with the 2020 El Diablo Vineyard Pinot Noir, and herb sous vide veal tenderloin with the 2020 Richards Vineyard Syrah. Hand-crafted by Nielsen and Oliveros, the experience features a five-course menu that rotates based on the ever-changing local bounty. It’s a truly unique way to appreciate the stunning bottlings from Ram’s Gate and the unique terroirs in Sonoma County!
The state-of-the-art winery and caves opens to visitors this month as it releases the 2021 vintage wines. After the original Signorello winery was destroyed in 2017, owner Ray Signorello Jr. embraced this rare opportunity to do things differently, knowing that the now-blank canvas afforded him a once-in-a-lifetime chance to create something that would last forever. After six long years of planning and building, the next phase of Signorello’s history will welcome back visitors this month as a timeless symbol of fortitude and innovation. Signorello Estate’s by-appointment-only tours and tastings will offer an immersive experience into Signorello’s past, present, and future. Guests will begin their visit to the new winery with an electric cart tour of the estate vineyards, followed by a tour of the justcompleted winery and expansive caves. Additionally, access to Ray’s personal library wine collection, including special large formats dating back to the winery's inception, will provide a unique and immersive experience that showcases the depth and breadth of the estate’s winemaking expertise. Tastings will feature five wines paired with a curated cheese plate for $175 per person. The winery is open daily from 10am to 4pm.
