Checkerboard Vineyards is located on the southeast facing slope of Diamond Mountain in Napa Valley. The estate includes a winery, cave and four vineyard sites, joined by a two-and-one-half mile drive spanning the valley floor to the top of the ridge. This dramatic setting is the inspiration for the distinctive, exceptional wines of Checkerboard Vineyards.

Winemaker Martha McClellan has directed the winemaking and winegrowing programs since the first vintage in 2006. Her precise specifications and careful guidance set the standard for operations at Checkerboard Vineyards.
