Laura Michael Wines

Laura Michael Wines is a boutique winery in Calistoga, Napa Valley, known for crafting small quantities of fine Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Founded by Laura Swanton in 1999, who purchased the estate from the Traulsen family, the winery has since become an award-winning producer under the guidance of Laura and her husband Michael, a former power generation expert turned Vice President and Vineyard Manager. The couple's hands-on approach involves every aspect of winemaking, from grape sourcing to bottling, with a focus on sustainability and environmental stewardship. Certified as a Napa Green Winery, they employ practices such as composting, recycling, LED lighting, and fermentation tank insulation to minimize their carbon footprint. Tastings are available by appointment only, with reservations recommended due to limited indoor space for groups over 8. The winery's gardens are also open for visitors to enjoy alongside the wine.
