Call us at the winery 707-963-5853 ext105.

We're a small family owned winery and each day we taste and tour throughout the estate. Benessere is Italian for ‘well-being’ or ‘prosperity,’ and the Benish family named the winery to describe the feeling of life in the Napa Valley. John and Ellen Benish restored an older estate winery and vineyards into a working winery with 34 planted acres of pristine vineyards and a unique country setting especially to enhance your ”well-being” as you taste our Italian and Napa Valley artesian wines.
