🏛️ About Hudson Vineyards

A 810-hectare Carneros ranch planted in 1981 by Lee Hudson, with nearly 80 hectares of vines on the Napa side just north of San Pablo Bay. The estate has become one of California's most coveted vineyard sources supplying fruit to cult producers like Kistler, Kongsgaard, Aubert, and Failla. The land itself is steeped in history: in the 1880s, it was the site of America's first successful experiments developing phylloxera-resistant rootstocks. Today, Hudson crafts its own single-vineyard wines while continuing to farm unusual varieties rarely seen in Napa.

This Wine Club gathering features three hours of free-flow wines and food, exploring the wines of Friuli Colli Orientali in northeastern Italy, with the opportunity to engage directly with winemaker Nicola Comelli.
