Alpha Omega is a family owned, certified Napa Green winery situated on Highway 29 in the historic Rutherford appellation of the Napa Valley. Capturing the essence of this great wine region’s terroir, Alpha Omega’s mission is to produce world class wines that combine Old World traditional grape growing and handcrafted winemaking methods utilizing New World state of the art technology.
Robin and Michelle Baggett, vintners and growers from San Luis Obispo, began their journey in 2005 to establish a wine estate in Napa Valley comparable to the finest in this wine region. Robin began his wine career in 1998 as a grape grower, planting more than 750 acres of grapes and in 1998 establishing Tolosa Winery in San Luis Obispo. In the late 1980's, Michelle began her multifaceted career in the development of hospitality brands before she created the name, brand and vision of this venture together, Alpha Omega.
Alpha Omega’s winery architecture was designed to resonate with the agricultural landscape that surrounds the property. This farm style winery is inclusive of modern elements with its magnificent tasting room boasting high ceilings with exposed wood beams and large windows with impressive views. Each private tasting room offers unique highly designed surroundings with walls adorned with art from local Napa artists. The barrel cellar with it’s rustic chandeliers and rolling glass doors display the detail and precision of each French oak barrel where our finest wines age.
The picturesque setting outside is highlighted by luxurious patio seating with views of Alpha Omega’s landmark water fountains and reflecting pond, stunning vineyards and the statuesque Mayacamas Mountains. Today, a warm staff of well-trained wine educators, a postcard-worthy setting and the modern farm-style architecture of the winery, paired with remarkable wines is the realized vision the Baggetts conceived when they originally toured the valley in 2005.
From the beginning, the Baggetts’ relationships in the valley with heralded grape growers like Andy Beckstoffer and Lee Hudson afforded the opportunity to procure grapes from some of the most prized and historical vineyards throughout the Napa Valley, names like To Kalon, Georges III and Dr. Crane while also developing several of their own vineyards. Sparing no expense on grapes, the Baggetts also enlisted the help of world-renowned wine making consultants like Michel Rolland to add his expertise and experience to Alpha Omega’s already compelling wines.
