Hudson Ranch

Situated in the heart of the rolling hills of Napa Valley's Carneros District, Hudson Ranch and Vineyards is an agrarian dream.

Producing world-class grapes for exceptional wines and Tuscan olives for verdant oil, raising heritage breed pigs, lambs and chickens, and growing a diverse array of seasonal fruits and vegetables for their grocery store, Hudson Greens & Goods, their farm encapsulates the true sense of wonder, possibility, and enthusiasm with which they start each day.

Besides their famous Chardonnays, Hudson Ranch Owner Cristina Salas-Porras Hudson has her own famous roasted nuts that are served with each tasting. View the recipe.

Must-Try Food & Wine Pairing

Hudson wines are full-bodied with great minerality and/or tannins so they pair very well with most foods. Their go-to favorite at the moment is the Old Master (80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot) with a garlicky lamb roast and an herb salsa verde.
