Napa, United States
Hess Persson Estates is a fifth-generation family-owned winery, known for its iconic The Hess Collection and Lions Head Collection. Founded in 1978 by Donald Hess, the winery has been a pioneer in Napa Valley, defying convention by cultivating vines at elevation, specifically on the volcanic slopes of Mount Veeder. The combination of unique soils and microclimates in this region has enabled Hess to produce elegant wines with rich, complex flavors.
Aside from wine, the company has also established an art gallery within the winery, showcasing the private art collection of Donald Hess, which mirrors his passion for art. The legacy is carried forward by the fifth generation's stewardship, with Tim and Sabrina, who have made it their mission to incorporate state-of-the-art innovations while maintaining the family heritage.
Based in the United States, the company operates within the Food and Beverage industry. Despite not having recent publicized investment events, the continuous commitment and influence of the family on the winery position Hess Persson Estates as one of the premier family-owned and family-led companies in Napa Valley.
