Nestled within the hills of Napa Valley, Kelly Fleming Wines Winery is a Provence-inspired winery designed to unite world-class wine production with timeless architectural beauty. The project was conceived as a highly functional winemaking facility that would support every stage of production while expressing the character and permanence of a traditional European wine estate. Drawing from the architecture of southern France, the design incorporates authentic materials, enduring proportions, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape, creating a winery that feels both elegant and deeply rooted in its setting.
Integrated directly into the hillside, the winery was engineered and constructed with extraordinary longevity in mind, with the goal of creating a building capable of serving generations of winemakers for the next 300 years. One of the project's defining features was the seamless connection between the above-ground winery and the underground cave system, a complex design and construction challenge that became a central element of the facility's identity and operational success. The result is a Napa Valley winery that balances efficiency, craftsmanship, and architectural character, demonstrating how thoughtful winery design can enhance both production performance and the visitor experience.
