Heitz Cellars
Joe and Alice Heitz founded Heitz cellars in 1961 after they purchased land along the St Helena highway in Napa Valley. Their business quickly outgrew the original property and so they expanded and purchased the current 160-acre site. This site was previously a winery and vineyard in operation in the 1880s. Joe and Alice remained dedicated to creating the finest quality wine and the Heitz cellars grew a further 350 acres.
