About Us
Heart of Gordon Valley
Hestan Vineyards is a picturesque estate located on Napa Valley’s remote eastern slopes. The vineyard is named for owners Helen and Stanley Cheng, whose passion for fine wines and love for Napa Valley’s beauty and charm led them to purchase the property - a former cattle ranch - in 1996. They immediately prepared to plant grapes, adding small blocks over the years to take advantage of the site’s myriad of exposure and well-drained soils. In keeping with the Chengs’ commitment to land stewardship, through sustainably farmed vineyards, the estate's organic gardens, and its operations of solar-powered energy resources.
Meet Our Wines
Our carefully-tended 110 acres are blanketed with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Sauvignon Blanc and Grenache. We also operate a small Chardonnay vineyard planted at the mouth of the Napa River. Winemakers Jeff Gaffner and Thomas Rivers Brown translate these varietals into award-winning, limited-release wines for the Hestan, Meyer, Stephanie and Vincent Christopher labels.

In Good Company
The 2014 Meyer Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, by our winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, landed the No.8 spot on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list in 2017 and was described as “strikingly complex and detailed, with supple, harmonious . . . flavors”.
