Passion, Patience... Perfection

Tökéletesség. The Hungarian word for Perfection beautifully captures the heart of our cherished family heritage, spanning over two continents. It also reflects our unwavering dedication to producing exceptional wines. Each bottle is carefully crafted by our talented winemaker, resulting in unparalleled quality and flavor. Our specialty lies in creating exquisite Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and refined Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. We warmly invite you to experience the splendor of wine country at our sophisticated Kenwood tasting lounge.

Winemaker Csaba Szakal grew up surrounded by winemaking traditions in Hungary before bringing his passion to California. En Garde Winery began with a single Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon and quickly expanded to Pinot Noir and other varietals from top vineyard sites. Each wine reflects our commitment to precision, balance, and age-worthy structure.
