Meadowcroft is the namesake of Winegrower Tom Meadowcroft. The meaning of Meadowcroft is a fertile field or meadow and croft refers to a cultivated area that has been nurtured over time. The honeybee on the label symbolizes this conscientious work and the process of transformation from wine grapes into an outstanding wine.
As the winemaker I am ever in the pursuit of creating wines infused with an explosive strength of diverse character that strike a soulful chord. The zeal of creativity with which I am driven is inspired by the rich cultural experience from where Meadowcroft Wines originates.
I proudly focus on a wide array of beautiful varietals, from our Cabernet Sauvignon which is grown on our estate vineyard property located on the esteemed Mount Veeder in Napa, to Bordeaux grapes scrupulously sourced from sustainable vineyards around Dry Creek, Carneros, and Alexander Valley, I happily direct a global dialogue into my winemaking process.
My hope is to create wines with a Sonoma pulse that express the complexity found in European varietals. I invite you to raise a glass of Meadowcroft and wish you bountiful gatherings and many happy toasts!
Cheers! Tom Meadowcroft Owner and Winegrower
Tom Meadowcroft, Winemaker and Owner
Welcome to Meadowcroft Wines
Meadowcroft is affectionately named from winegrower Tom Meadowcroft. A “meadow” is a fertile field and “croft” is a cultivated area nurtured over time. Our logo is the honeybee, drawing inspiration from how bees transform nectar to honey and how we transform grapes to wine in a sustainable fashion.
Meadowcroft Wines have received accolades from the Sunset International Wine Competition, Wine Enthusiast, Sommelier Company, and the SF Chronicle, to name a few. In 2019, Meadowcroft was named one of the Top 100 Wineries in Bonfort’s Wine and Spirits Journal.
Our Grapes
Our Mount Veeder Vineyard is located in Napa, CA at 12,000 ft elevation. Rich with sedimentary clay and volcanic soils, our vineyard produces vines with tiny berries that are intensely concentrated in flavor and contain soft tannins.
We also source grapes from the following vineyards in Sonoma and Anderson Valley.
"Meadowcroft is a wine that stands out on the shelf -- with a chic black label, gold lettering, and a cute little bee on the label, they piqued my interest right from the beginning.
Behind the label are passionate, authentic people who strive day in and day out to create beautiful wines and develop innovative tasting experiences. Their wines are sourced from their own vineyards, as well as some experimental vineyards all over Napa and Sonoma. Tom Meadowcroft, their owner and winegrower, is always on the lookout for great fruit that he can source from his industry relationships and make into something spectacular. Their wines are the perfect combination of beautiful and complex, but also fun and approachable. "
"I think nerdy people make some of the best wines. And Tom Meadowcroft is such a great example of that.
When I first met Tom, we kinda just randomly popped into their tasting room and he was there. I asked some nerdy questions (because I'm a total geek about wine) and he got super excited and practically ran out to the vineyard with us to walk around and show us things as he was talking! In the span of an hour, I'd learned about Biodynamic Wines for the first time, "grafting" vines and the fact that the root stock is actually so different from the top part of the vine, French Colombard and how it's really just called Colombard but because people in the US don't know about that grape he likes to call it French Colombard, etc...
Ever since - EVERY time I have a Meadowcroft wine I'm just reminded of how cool and nerdy the whole team is. They make wine from their vineyards, as well as some experimental vineyards all over Napa and Sonoma. Tom is always on the lookout for great fruit that he can source from his industry relationships, and make into something beautiful yet approachable for people to enjoy.
Also just because I have to share... me and Tom geeking out about cool vineyard stuff.

"I first checked out Meadowcroft in 2019 and fell in love. There is really something for everyone here, so many different wines to choose from. The staff is always so friendly and the wine is phenomenal."
