About Us...

When Leslie and Joseph Montanile met in April 1997 little did they know that marrying in Carmel, California and honeymooning in Napa and Sonoma would forever change their lives.

In August of 1997 Leslie and Joseph were married overlooking the Pacific ocean on the spectacular coast of Carmel, California. They honeymooned in wine country and fell deeper in love with each other and the countryside of both Napa and Sonoma. Always wine lovers, Leslie and Joseph set out to learn as much as they could about California Wines and wines in general.

In August of 1999 Leslie and Joseph returned to the coast of Sonoma and the Napa Valley to celebrate their second wedding anniversary. While on their trip, armed with maps and books published about wine country, they realized that visiting Napa and Sonoma was not as simple as it had once seemed; Reservations for tastings and tours had become common place, hours and days of operation varied, and restaurants and hotels were booked, not to mention over 400 hundred wineries to choose from. Wine country was buzzing with an abundance of tourists and after being turned away from several wineries, it was at that moment, that H. Montanile™ was born.

Our Goal...

Leslie and Joseph set out to create a complete guide for visiting wine country focusing on Napa and Sonoma wineries.  

H. Montanile™ is the wine lovers choice. From winery reviews, wine education and selection, places to stay, fun things to do and sample itineraries

H. Montanile™ brings you the complete wine country experience in one living site. We at H. Montanile™ can fulfill all of your wine country, gourmet food and fine wine needs.

Happy Tastings,

Leslie & Joseph Montanile
