Tour Vin believes that your vacation experience should be a memorable one! Give us a call today and let us help you plan a Napa Valley tour to this world famous winery to create lasting memories.

Signorello Estate specializes in estate-grown wines, exquisite food and wine pairings. The estate, located on the Silverado Trail just north of Napa, sits atop its own hill and offers guests one of the most breathtaking views in the valley. The extensive food and wine program has been rated 3.5 stars by the San Francisco Chronicle, and is considered “One of the ten best tasting room experiences in California.”

The rigorous vineyard program begins with the soil. Signorello Estate’s Chardonnay vineyards are now more than three decades old and were planted on the forward loam valley floor. The red varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot) are all planted in shallow soil on the rocky hillside. One vineyard benefits from an eastern exposure while, the other appreciates a western exposure. The fruit for the Pinot Noir comes from the Carneros appellation located in the cooler, southern part of the Napa Valley, which is better suited for growing this varietal.

Signorello Estate makes limited quantities of premium varietals that blend classic French wine making characteristics with California fruit. Their style of winemaking is directly tied to the specific vineyards. The estate strives for lush, concentrated fruit flavor, and good acid balance in all wine produced. The goal is to have wines with early accessibility, as well as the potential to develop additional complexity as they mature.

Tour Vin has explored Napa Valley from top to bottom and we’d like to share our expertise in planning a food and wine experience customized to your personal preferences. From dining and hotel accommodations to unique activities and wine tasting, Tour Vin will plan a tour package tailored to your needs!
