Our Family
Baldacci Family Vineyards has been a family-owned winery in the Napa Valley for over 25 years, founded by Thomas and Brenda Baldacci in 1998. Today, their son and second-generation vintner Michael Baldacci serves as winemaker, continuing the family’s legacy and dedication to crafting sustainably-farmed, world-class wines.
At Baldacci Family Vineyards, winemaking is a way of life. It’s about nurturing a bond between family, land, and the craft of making wine that can be shared with others. This philosophy was instilled in Thomas Baldacci when he first set his eyes on the land that would become the winery’s home. Nearly three decades ago, Thomas drove past a run-down property in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley. Where others saw an old house and neglected land, he saw potential — a vineyard waiting to be reborn, a story waiting to be written.
For Thomas, this was about creating a legacy that his family could cherish and carry forward for generations. Along with his wife, Brenda, Thomas raised four sons, instilling in them the values of hard work, integrity, and family. With his vision set on the land in the Stags Leap District, he invited his family to experience the beauty of the property. It was on this land that the Baldacci family’s journey in winemaking began.
As their sons grew, the Baldacci family’s connection to the land deepened. The family found joy not just in winemaking, but in the memories they created together — sharing meals, celebrating milestones, and creating stories that would live on long after the wine was poured.
As time passed, the family’s dedication to producing the finest Napa Valley wines, made from organically farmed vineyards, remained steadfast. The estate-grown grapes, nurtured by the family’s commitment to sustainable farming, are a reflection of the care and attention given to every aspect of the family-owned winery and vineyards. From the carefully cultivated vines to the meticulous winemaking process, each bottle of Baldacci wine tells the story of the land, the family, and the generations that have worked tirelessly to make it what it is today.
Today, Baldacci Family Vineyards continues to thrive as a family-owned winery and a testament to the Baldacci family’s legacy. Michael Baldacci, second-generation vintner, is now at the helm of the winery, continuing his parents’ commitment to quality, sustainability, and family values. With Michael leading the winemaking efforts, the vineyard’s story has come full circle, as he not only upholds his family’s vision but adds his own personal touch to each vintage, garnering acclaim from top critics.
The winery has become more than just a place to make wine. It’s a gathering place, a place where the Baldacci family celebrates weddings, anniversaries, holidays, and the everyday moments that matter most. It’s a place where stories are created and memories are made.
As the Baldacci family continues to grow, so does their passion for sharing exceptional Napa Valley wines with the world. We invite you to become a part of our story, to join us in celebrating the rich heritage of Baldacci Family Vineyards, and to experience our family-owned winery for yourself.
