Markham Vineyards is one of Napa Valley’s oldest continuously operated wineries. Wright Contracting has been working with the Markham Vineyards team since the late 1980's when we built the original Winery & Visitor Center.  Our most recent project encompassed a beautiful modernization of a number of spaces, while maintaining the history of the winery. For this project, Markham vineyards turned to the renowned Matt Hollis Architects to reimagine the existing first floor tasting room with modern finishes and a new light, bright & airy feel. A renovation of the upstairs office area includes modern technology and a new layout to inspire employee collaboration. We also completely transformed the stone cellar, first built in 1879 and previously used for barrel storage. Part of the cellar is now a second tasting area where guests will gain unique insight into the heritage of Markham Vineyards. A 2-story glass partition divides the cellar space, with half being used for

The Ink Grade tasting room brings the history and fullness of the storied Howell Mountain Estate to the Valley Floor. The unassuming entry gives way series of finely tuned tasting experiences. The focal point of the main tasting space is a giant boulder harvested from the Ink Grade Estate which we fitted with a beautiful wood top and serves as a gathering space for arrivals and departures. The diversity of tasting experiences is highlighted by The Senses Room which is a black box tasting experience with 360 projection that brings the visitor into the vineyards as they taste through the wine offerings. Outdoor tastings are punctuated by a beautiful Pizza oven and finely appointed landscaping. All interior spaces were renovated and elevated to meet the beauty and charter of the Ink Grade brand.
