Benessere Vineyards is a small, family-owned boutique winery specializing in Italian varietals, nestled in the heart of Napa Valley. The region's soil is exceptionally well-suited for cultivating these types of grapes. The name "Benessere," an Italian word meaning "well-being" or "living the good life," reflects the vineyard's dedication to producing Italian varietals and its commitment to providing warm, welcoming hospitality.
The property was acquired in 1994 by John and Ellen Benish, who immediately began the restoration of the winery and residence, as well as replanting the vineyards. By 1995, they had produced their first vintage of Sangiovese, realizing their dream. Since that inaugural vintage, Benessere Vineyards has expanded its portfolio to include other sought-after Italian varietals such as Pinot Grigio, Moscato di Canelli, Sagrantino, and Aglianico.
In addition to these varietals, Benessere Vineyards also produces a "Super Tuscan" style blend called Phenomenon, as well as two distinctive Zinfandels. One Zinfandel is sourced from the ‘Black Glass Vineyard,’ while the other comes from the ‘Collins Holystone Vineyard’ adjacent to the estate.
While waiting for his vines to mature, Steve Martell crafted his first few vintages using grapes from friends and neighbors. Even as his vineyard reaches full production, he plans to maintain some of these contracts. The exceptional quality of this fruit adds depth and dimension to the young grapes from his estate.
The Kaleidos label holds personal significance for Martell. It's named after his mother's shop, where she sold kaleidoscopes and other art. This name resonates deeply with him and perfectly represents his wines. Just as a kaleidoscope blends light and colors into unique images, his vines merge the elements of soil and sunlight to create distinctive fruit characteristics.
Each sip of Kaleidos wine reflects Martell's meticulous attention to detail. He invites you to taste the fruit of his passion. Kaleidos wines are available for tasting at the Tin City tasting room located at 3075 Blue Rock Road, Paso Robles.

Winemaker John Smith is not only very happy to pour for you, but is just as willing to tell his wine's story to a seasoned oenophile or neophyte alike.
Ray is the owner and winemaker, has been in this location for 16 years. He sources fruit from a variety of places, and has some varietals (wine types) he always makes, and also mixes it up sometime.
