Founded out of a collective desire to capture the spirit of Napa's finest appellations in an inspired community-driven space. Mia Carta is a thoughtfully designed tasting lounge in the heart of downtown Napa. Located on the ground floor of the historic Native Sons of Golden West building at the corner of First and Coombs Street, Mia Carta is home to a collective of several family-owned and operated ultra-premium, small lot Napa Valley wineries - Essere Franco Wines, Earthshine Wines, Hersly Wines, Majuscule Wine, McKahn Wines and Three Furies Wines. The restored space offers a comfortable vibe that seamlessly marries the original architecture with sustainable modern technologies designed to enhance the guests' experience.
Mia Carta celebrates journey - and all the intersecting figurative and literal paths that lead forward towards progress and discovery. For today's modern wine explorer, Mia Carta offers an insider's passport to lesser-known, small production wines from Napa's premiere growing regions, all in one sensory-driven environment
Designed by award-winning architecture firm INTERSTICE Architects, Mia Carta features a spectacular two-story, three-dimensional wall map of the city of Napa crafted from CNC-milled walnut cabinetry that spans the entire length of the tasting bar. The custom map wall is complemented by an exceptional lofted space with 15-foot stamped metal ceilings; a sustainably produced, floor-to-ceiling cork wall; exposed brick, original to the 1914 structure; and refined wood detailing throughout. A folding glass window façade opens onto First Street to facilitate an inviting indoor-outdoor California wine-tasting experience for guests.
Our vintners all have deep personal roots in the Napa area and are proud of the contributions they and their families have made to the community and to the wine industry here. They join us frequently in the tasting room in person to share their wines and their stories with our guests.
