Aonair is a boutique, family-owned winery located in the hills of Napa Valley near Howell Mountain, known for its highly limited, allocation-only wines. Founded in 2008 by winemaker Grant Long Jr., the estate focuses on small-lot production with a hands-on approach that emphasizes precision and quality.
The vineyard’s elevation and rocky soils contribute to concentration, structure, and complexity in the wines. The portfolio centers on Bordeaux-style varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and blends, alongside smaller quantities of other varietals.
Winemaking is guided by a philosophy of expressing vineyard character while maintaining balance and structure. A defining feature of Aonair is its exclusivity, with wines available only through direct allocation or private visits.
The winery is regarded as a hidden gem within Napa Valley, producing refined, terroir-driven wines with a strong sense of identity.
