Cellar InternshipBurgess CellarsNapa, CA APPLY» SAVE CREATE ALERT SHARE » » E-Mail: » » » formerly Twitter Listing descriptionAbout BurgessBurgess is making a unique mark on the Napa Valley. The winery, established in 1972 but with roots dating back to the late 1870s, holds a significant place in Napa's history. Notable figures such as Warren Winiarski and Mike Grigich had their first winemaking practices in the cellars that eventually became Burgess. Despite the unfortunate loss of two historic winery buildings in the 2020 fires, the old vineyards were preserved and we continue to produce wine from them today. Our winery is now in the former Luna winery on the Silverado Trail, which itself boasts a rich history featuring famous Napa winemakers and pioneering natural winemakers. Our Winemaker is fervently pushing progressive and innovative farming methods in our four estate vineyards, making Burgess the first in Napa to implement a regenerative farming approach called, Agricultura Promiscua or Promiscuous Agriculture. This unique method involves interplanting fruit trees among the vines. We are certified organic, biodynamic and champion biodiversity with tea gardens, pollinator gardens, a small animal pasture housing cows, sheep, chickens, beehives, and dogs which are integrated into our farming system. In the cellar, our Winemaker employs a low-intervention approach to winemaking reminiscent of Napa in the 1970s with Italian and French influences. The focus is on capturing freshness and the authentic expression of fruit from each distinct vineyard and variety.
