PERCHED…

atop a ridgeline nestled within the Quintessa winery estate, lies three tasting pavilions designed by Walker Warner Architects. The structures were conceived as a series of architectural gems to dot the Napa Valley landscape – taking their cues from the existing winery’s beautifully aging material palette and sustainably focused design…

METICULOUSLY… situated to maximize views and minimize negative environmental impact – each pavilion preserves, and takes advantage of, the natural shade provided by mature oaks. As for structure, the pavilions offer varying layers of year-round shelter, via an elegant series of sliding and pivoting planes.

FOR VISITORS… to the vineyard, Quintessa offers private pavilion wine tastings by appointment. Each 90 minute reservation is hosted by a winery expert, offering a verbal history of Quintessa alongside wine samplings selected from among the vineyard’s 26 blocks.
