NEW! Estate Vineyard Experiences

Real agri-tourism, Hosted by the people who farm the land.

A rare opportunity to experience Napa Valley at ground level, our Estate Vineyard Experiences welcome a limited number of guests into the places where wine is actually grown. These intentionally intimate experiences are hosted by the owners and grape growers, and share the culture of ultra-small, family-run micro-wineries.

Offered during the summer and fall, when the vineyard is alive with activity and the weather is at its best, we’ve curate small, vineyard-based gatherings that take place in the vineyard itself. You’ll walk the rows, taste wine where it’s made, and participate in vineyard demonstrations led by the people who farm the land and shape each vintage.

For those who want to experience Napa Valley as a working agricultural landscape, guided by the people who farm it, this is agri-tourism in its truest form: hands-on, educational, and impossible to replicate in a traditional tasting room.
