After a long wine country growth battle, Anthem winery near Mount Veeder convinced Napa County that its controversial expansion plan is a good one.
âI see this as something that is fulfilling my objectives and the vision that I see for the Mount Veeder appellation,â county Board of Supervisors Chair Alfredo Pedroza said.
After a five-hour hearing Tuesday, the county Board of Supervisors favored upholding a Planning Commission decision that approved Anthem additions. It tentatively voted to deny an appeal by several rural neighbors.
Supervisor Diane Dillon was the lone dissenter. She cited concerns over groundwater supplies, wildfire danger to winery visitors and the number of exceptions to county road rules needed for a new Dry Creek Road entrance.
Decanter Five of Napa’s most stunning wineries
Art, architecture, nature and the all-round visitor experience all draw tourists to the best-known estates of Napa Valley – not to forget the fantastic wines. Aidy Smith highlights his top five Napa winery visits, so start planning for when they can happen again.
Covid-19: Napa Valley is in the State of California’s Covid-19 Regional Stay At Home order, and currently most wineries are only allowing pickups of wine orders, or offering virtual tastings.
When Joseph Osborne arrived in Napa in the 1850s and dug deep into the soils of Oak Knoll, he never would have imagined that those first vines would mark the birth of one of the world’s most highly reputed wine regions. California’s Napa Valley may not lay claim to the centuries of existence that wine regions in Europe do, but it shares the same passion for beauty in both wine and design.

Packaging Contents: Wine Hess Winery situates itself atop Mount Veeder in Napa County. Not only is it a winery known for its exquisite taste and mountain side growing, but for its remarkable art collection started by their founder, Donald Hess. When charged to redesign wine packaging, I chose Hess’s bottles to further their elegance along side their unique art gallery. I adopted the two ideas of mountain side growing and modern art to create a refined set of bottles for a high and moderately priced Cabernet Sauvignon. For the highest end Cabernet Sauvignon I wanted to create an experience into opening the wine. I fashioned a paper wrap adorning Robille Federick’s “Grey Is The Color Of Hope” that would be pealed or torn to present the chic black bottle underneath.
