Alpha Omega Winery is located along the sometimes called “wine strip”, a section of the Napa Valley between Yountville and St. Helena along Highway 29 featuring a number of prominent and iconic Napa Valley wineries.

A complete renovation and expansion became the perfect union of context and intent, and a new guest experience was created. Remodeling the existing structures enabled most of the original structure to be ‘recycled,’ and gave focus to the design efforts, elevating what was already present. The strategy was to find ways to reconnect visitors to the landscape while reimagining what was a series of simple industrial buildings. Tucked discretely into the landscape, the transformation involved creating new pathways and expanding the gardens, modernize the pond and adding water feature so that wines could be enjoyed both inside as well as outside. The desire, note the Alpha Omega Winery owners, was to “create an environment where guests feel like they are entering our home, experiencing wines crafted without compromise and shared without pretension.”
