In 1998 Kelly Fleming acquired a very special 300-acre property in Simmons Canyon, just south of Calistoga, where oaks framed the property, tucked up against the canyon’s sloping hillsides. Wildflowers, wildlife, the heartbeat of nature---it was a magical estate. She planted __ acres of vineyards in 1999, focusing on Cabernet Sauvignon. She dug caves and built a stone winery reminiscent of buildings you see in southern France. In 2010 the first grapes were crushed. In the ensuing years, visitors enjoyed the setting, the wines and Kelly’s uniquely elegant hospitality. The portfolio grew to include a Sauvignon Blanc, The Bear & The Bees and Big Pour in addition to the Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2024 she sold the property. The wines and other specialties including olive oil and a port continue to be available for sale.
