California Homes magazine featured Chateau Montelena in its October 2020 issue in a story that explores wine tasting experiences to consider this fall (which was published before the recent Glass Fires caused destruction in the area). The writer describes Chateau Montelena as one of the most storied wineries in Napa Valley, which consistently produces some of the finest wines in California. The write up also provides a historical overview of the infamous Judgement of Paris tasting and outlines three different wine tasting experiences on property.
