Alpha Omega farms a select group of single vineyards that include some of the most sought after and historic vineyards in the Napa Valley. Produced in small quantities, each of these wines make a distinctive, dramatic statement of grape and place.
Widely regarded as the most famous vineyard in the Napa Valley, To Kalon Vineyard’s colorful history dates to the late 1860s when it was first planted by viticulturist Hamilton Crabb who had purchased the vineyard from George Yount’s son-in-law, E.L. Sullivan. To Kalon Vineyard is situated on a large alluvial fan in the heart of the Oakville AVA. Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard (historically known as Beaulieu Vineyard #4) is situated in the southern portion of the original To Kalon Vineyard. To Kalon, Greek for “the place of highest beauty,” is an appropriate description for a vineyard that consistently produces some of the most striking, layered and ageable wines in Napa Valley.

Stricker Vineyard (formerly known as Drew Vineyard) traces its lineage back to George Drew, who originally purchased the property in 1889 from the U.S. government.

At altitudes of 1,000 to 1,500 feet, this dramatic terraced vineyard in the Mount Veeder AVA boasts steep inclines and rocky, well drained soils surrounded by tall redwoods which provide morning and afternoon shade and overall cooler temperatures.
