Winery Founded by: Susan and Duane Hoff
Winery Current Owner: Susan and Duane Hoff
Winery Description: Fantesca Estate & Winery is a boutique winery located on Spring Mountain in Napa Valley, known for its rich heritage, limited-production wines, and intimate hospitality. Founded in 2004 by Susan and Duane Hoff—former Best Buy executives who left the corporate world to pursue their passion for wine—Fantesca sits on a historic 53-acre estate once owned by Caroline Bale, wife of Napa pioneer Charles Krug. The property also holds the legacy of Hannah Weinberger, one of California’s first female winemakers, who crafted award-winning wines here in the late 1800s. Today, Fantesca is celebrated for its elegant Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, and for offering by-appointment-only tastings that blend luxury with a deep respect for winemaking history.
