Materra | Cunat Family Vineyards

Materra | Cunat Family Vineyards is a winery located in Napa Valley's Oak Knoll AVA, with roots dating back to 1850 when Captain Joseph Warren Osborn settled on the land. The property was initially used for farming and viticulture, with Osborn importing Vitis vinifera from Europe and grafting them to Mission grapes, revolutionizing the Napa Valley wine industry. He is credited with introducing Zinfandel to the region and won awards for his farm, including "Best Farm in all of California" in 1856 and 1860. The property has remained in family hands since Osborn's death in 1863, passing through three families: the Woodwards, Melones, and Cunats. Today, Materra | Cunat Family Vineyards continues to honor its heritage by producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of Oak Knoll. The winery is known for its estate-grown wines, with a focus on sustainable farming practices. Visitors can experience the property's rich history through wine tastings and tours, which offer a glimpse into the lives of the pioneering families who shaped Napa Valley's wine industry.
