We have two beautiful locations that we call home: Our tasting room nestled in the heart of Yountville, and our new Calistoga winery and tasting room tucked within the scenic vineyards. Both locations provide a place to celebrate, respect, and enjoy the passion of winemaking and the dedication to Napa Valley heritage. You can enjoy our wines, learn about grower relationships and discover what it means to be authentically Napa, consistently Girard. Come enjoy a glass and meet new people in our intimate Yountville tasting room or sip and sit on our expansive patio in Calistoga overlooking the vineyards

OUR WINEMAKER
Our winemaking team is comprised of experi- enced, award-winning vintners who share the passion of terroir-driven wine. Winemaker Glenn Hugo started his career with Girard in 2006 as a harvest intern and was quickly promoted to Cellar Master and Assistant Winemaker before earning the title of Girard Winemaker. Glenn's background in the restaurant industry has led to his artisanal approach to winemaking with a focus on wine as part of the culinary experience. Glenn's philosophy is simple: wine is to be shared with friends and family; it is a living and breathing expression that constantly evolves and instills memories |

OUR VINTNER
Longtime vintner and native Californian, Pat Roney, purchased Girard shortly after the new millennium. Roney got his start in wine as a college student in Chicago working as a sommelier at the renowned Pump Room. Quite taken with the industry, he enjoyed a broad career in wine. In 2000, Pat's passion for wine and love of Napa Valley led him back to California where he became a partner and owner at Girard. |

OUR VINEYARDS
Napa Valley is steeped in tradition and built on the hard work of families of growers who pioneered this acclaimed winegrowing region. Our vintner Pat Roney and Winemaker, Glenn Hugo, have forged decades-long relationships with growers throughout the valley. We have cultivated friendships with these families whose ancestors were among the first to plant in Napa and whose vineyards we have fallen in love with. Each vintage, we are proud to select fruits from the best sites including Rutherford, Diamond Mountain, Oakville, St. Helena, and Calistoga. All playing an essential role in the delicious wines produced by Girard. |
