Producer Information

Astrale e Terra Winery was founded in 1996 by several partners; today two couples own the winery along with the primary partner, Paul Johnson of Napa. The name translates to “Heaven & Earth” in Italian. Mr. Johnson has lived an interesting life – from being a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot in Japan, to owning a resort in Jamaica to his involvement in the banking industry in Chicago. He and his friends (later business partners in the winery) were enjoying an especially long evening with good wine when they decided it would be fun to get into the wine industry. Most dreams like this discussed at long wine infused dinners fizzle by morning. Not so with Astale e Terra. For 6 months the owners scoured Napa for winery real estate and eventually arrived at the end of Soda Canyon Road where they fell in love with the property and quickly purchased it.
