Welcome to the New World of fine wine. We offer internationally-acclaimed wine tasting, winemakers and wineries from the country's most legendary wine country, Napa Valley.
Black Stallion
Napa Valley
In October 2005, Exclusive Estates Wine Group purchased a portion of this original parcel and began production on a state-of-the-art winery that opened in July 2007. Inspired by the early history of the arena and the equestrian center that once thrived on the property, the winery was named Black Stallion Winery. Today, the original building that housed the indoor riding track sits directly behind the tasting room and wine cellars and is used for the winery’s wine production.
Beaulieu Vineyard
Rutherford
After realizing the immense potential of Napa Valley as a budding winegrowing region, founder Georges de Latour purchased 131 acres over several years in hopes to make worldclass wines of distinction. For over a century, this terroir has been the backbone of Beaulieu Vineyard's acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon.
Buena Vista
Napa Valley
Before there were vineyards in every valley north of San Francisco, before Napa and Sonoma were household names, before there was a California wine world at all, there was Buena Vista. Founded in 1857, Buena Vista is California’s first premium winery, and its history is as colorful as it is proud. Today, the legend is being re-born under the vision of Jean-Charles Boisset.
Cakebread
Cellars
Napa Valley
Jack Cakebread’s success began in the 1970’s with a hunch. Offering his $2,500.00 advance for a photography assignment of a Napa Valley book as down payment, Jack and his wife Dolores became the new owners of a Rutherform farm, known today as the prestigious Cakebread Winery.
Washington
In 1999, while on a road trip to Walla Walla, WA, Charles met a winemaker who convinced him to start making his own wine, true to his own story and vision. And in 2001, Charles released 330 cases of his first vintage. Eight years later, he would be named Winemaker of the Year by Food & Wine magazine and again in 2014, by Wine Enthusiast.
Chateau
Montelena
California
Chateau Montelena Winery, originally called A.L. Tubbs winery after its founder Alfred Tubbs, was established in 1882, and was originally intended as a barrel-aging facility. The renaissance of the winery, under the leadership of James Barrett, began in 1972 with the replanting of the Estate vineyard.
Dierberg
Winery
Santa Maria
In 1996, with 40 years of winemaking experience under their belt, Jim and Mary Dierberg’s dream of producing wines worthy of their long term plan became a reality. After a long search through France and Napa, while learning the craft and making wine in the mid-west, they discovered the potential of Santa Barbara’s cool coastal valleys.
Dominus
Napa Valley
The Napanook vineyard is nestled in a natural amphitheater at the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains on the west side of the Napa Valley. Fed by winter rains, its underground springs flow through ancient riverbeds and provide a natural supply of water to its grapevines, allowing them to develop deep roots.
Over centuries this fertile benchland’s microclimate has provided ideal conditions for crops and grape growing.
It was here, in 1838, that George Yount planted Napa Valley’s very first vines.
Elizabeth Spencer Winery
Rutherford
Set in the heart of Napa Valley, at Rutherford Cross Estate, sits a historic 1872 brick Post Office that is home to one of wine country’s best-kept secrets, Elizabeth Spencer. Tucked behind the building is an enchanted and serene setting that unveils the epitome of hospitality and award-winning wines. From the vineyards of Rutherford to exploring Northern California’s other appellations and varietals to the magical ambiance of Rutherford’s secret garden… a sense of discovery awaits.
Ferrari
Carano
Sonoma County, California
In the late 1970’s, during a wine-buying trip for their hotel/casino, couple Rhonda and Don visited Sonoma County, California. The captivating landscape of the county greatly reminded them of the beautiful landscapes of Italy: They were in love. This marked the beginning of the Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery.
Freemark
Abbey
Napa Valley
With roots dating back to 1886, Freemark Abbey was among the first of the original 16 Napa Valley wineries. Today, this historical site is better known as Freemark Abbey. Over the last century-and-a-half, Freemark Abbey has pioneered the California wine industry and become a beacon of enduring quality and tradition.
Joseph Phelps
Napa Valley
Joseph Phelps Vineyards is a family-owned winery committed to crafting world class, estate-grown wines. Founded in 1973 when Joe Phelps purchased a former cattle ranch near St. Helena in the Napa Valley, the winery now controls and farms nearly 375 acres of vines on eight estate vineyards in St. Helena, the Stags Leap District, Oakville, Rutherford, Oak Knoll District, Carneros and South Napa Valley.
Opus One
Oakville, California
The winery was founded as a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild and Robert Mondavi to create a single Bordeaux style blend based upon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Peter Michael Winery
Sonoma Coast
Once referred to as Sugar Loaf Ranch spanning just over 600 acres, today the Knights Valley Ranch encompasses nearly 750 acres (304 hectares), inclusive of vineyards on the hillsides of Mount St Helena at elevations reaching 2,000 ft. (609 meters), meandering down through forests to the valley floor where the winery, gardens and olive orchards reside.
The Prisoner
California
Inspired and created by the drinkable “mixed blacks” first made by the Italian immigrants who originally settled in the Napa Valley, it was innovative and unique. In the Late 1990’s a handful of Napa producers took an interest in making this style of wine. The blend soon began to incorporate not only Zinfandel, but also Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Charbono and Grenache.
Promontory
Oakville, California
In an unmarked territory, hidden beyond the upper reaches of Oakville’s southwestern borderlands, Promontory looms remote, raw, and replete with uncharted potential. Steeped in history yet largely overlooked in the twentieth century, the scale of this undiscovered territory evokes the impression of a small national park. These lands encompass an entire watershed, and embody all the hallmarks of an unparalleled winegrowing estate - diversity of soil, elevation, exposition, and climate – all within a single and dramatic expanse.
Quintessa
Rutherford
Hidden in the heart of Rutherford, Quintessa is a 280-acre site that reflects a diversity of geology, biodiversity, exposures and microclimates. Inspired by this distinct property, founders Agustin and Valeria Huneeus believed that it was destined to become one of the world’s great wine estates. Today, a total of 160 acres are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carménère on 26 vineyard blocks. Each block is farmed—organically and Biodynamic®—harvested, and vinified individually to preserve and enhance the nuances of the land. Inspired by the land’s natural grandeur, the Huneeus family dedicated themselves to capturing the beauty and harmony of this land in the form of a great wine.
Raymond Vineyard
Napa Valley
Raymond Vineyards, founded in 1970, is one of the Napa Valley’s pioneers and great estates. Arriving to Napa in 1933, the Raymond family became deeply connected to the valley’s winemaking origins. In 1970, they established a 90-acre estate in Rutherford that now comprises 300 acres in Rutherford, St. Helena and Jameson Canyon. Five generations of the Raymond family created a Napa icon, with an enduring reputation for elegant wines with a beautiful balance of finesse, power and complexity.
Sequoia
Napa Valley
Sequoia Grove is a family-owned winery founded in 1979 in a 110-year old barn beneath a grove of Sequoia trees in Rutherford, Napa Valley. It is here where we’ve honed our craft of creating world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and other Napa Valley wines that emphasize elegance, finesse, structure and balance. Our consistent philosophy of making wines with varietal character that are reflective of the land helped establish Sequoia Grove as one of the premier Cabernet Sauvignon producers in Napa Valley. Our 24-acre Estate Vineyard and 50-acre Tonella Ranch Vineyard are both located in the heart of Rutherford, where the superb climate and gravelly-loam soils impart distinct flavor in the Bordeaux varieties.
St. Francis
