About Schramsberg
The Schramsberg estate is tucked into the densely forested slopes of Diamond Mountain, a few miles south of the town of Calistoga, and is home to the oldest hillside vineyards in Napa. The estate, a registered historic landmark, has been painstakingly restored by the Davies family.
Schramsberg has played a role in world history. The Blanc de Blancs was used for President Nixon’s 1972 “Toast to Peace” with China’s Premier Zhou Enlai. Schramsberg’s sparkling wines have been served at official State functions by every U.S. presidential administration since. Learn more: www.schramsberg.com
