Clos Du Val Winery

Clos Du Val was founded in 1972 by French winemaker Bernard Portet and American businessman John Goelet. Bernard Portet is still creating distinguished Napa Valley wines with decidedly "Old World" style, now with the help of vice president John Clews.

Duckhorn Vineyards Winery

Dan and Margaret Duckhorn established Duckhorn Vineyards in 1976. With over 30 years of winemaking experience, this winery has established itself as the premier Merlot producer in the Napa Valley. If folks are looking for a top-notch, well-presented Merlot there is no need to look further than Duckhorn.

Ferrari-Carano Winery

Boasting one of Sonoma County's most beautiful gardens and grounds, not to mention plenty of award winning wines at a variety of price points, Ferrari-Carano has certainly been a viticultural stronghold in the heart of the county for over 20 years.

Rutherford Hill Winery

Rutherford Hill offers well known wines to consumers at reasonable price points. Onsite they also host several fun events, beyond the typical tours and tastings. From picnics with amazing vineyard views to posh "cave dining" and the opportunity to play winemaker by blending your own wine under the expert teaching of one of Rutherford's wine educators.

St. Supéry Winery

Established in 1982 and now expanded into two vineyard estates with a total of 2,000 acres, St. Supéry is one of the most visited wineries in the famed Napa Valley. A visit to St. Supéry Vineyards is sure to be more than a fun wine tasting experience...

V. Sattui Winery

Perhaps one of the most quaint wineries on Highway 29, V. Sattui is the winery that people who are "going to Napa" for the first time are hoping to find. Complete with an "Old World" charm, the winery, deli and cheese market offer a wide variety of artisan picnic pickings.
