Please be sure to make advanced reservations.

Etude

Tucked in the cool Carneros is Etude Wines, where you can try Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon, from both surrounding vineyards and properties in Coombsville, Oakville and Rutherford. If you love Pinot Noir and want to learn more about this delicate grape, book the Private Tailored experience and select the Pinot option. You can also select a Cabernet Focus or a mix of their extensive portfolio – the choice is yours! Etude uses recycled water for landscape irrigation and there is an employee garden and fruit trees, with some of the produce donated to the Napa Food Bank. Etude recycles and composts more than 90% of their waste and has been recognized with several Napa County Recycling Leadership Awards.

Domaine Carneros

Enjoy a seated tasting of bubbles on the Domaine Carneros patio or in their grand salon. Book a tour of their estate to  soak in some views at the stunning sparkling wine Château. If you love sparkling wines and vineyard vistas nothing about this experience will disappoint. Domaine Carneros was honored with the 2019 California Sustainable Winegrowing Green Medal award for their innovative Business practices. They reclaim 2/3 of their water for irrigation; through a unique packaging recycling program they are able to reuse 90% of onsite packaging; and as of 2019 they offset 100% of the carbon footprint of their wine shipments. “We will never stop striving to make better wines with a lighter, more sustainable footprint,” says Winemaker TJ Evans.

cuvaison

Nestled in the heart of Los Carneros, amid more than 200 acres of scenic rolling vineyards, Cuvaison Estate winery is an elegantly modern and inviting wine country oasis. Their green initiatives include: energy efficiency and solar, water recycling & conservation, soil management, waste reduction, environmentally preferred purchasing, neighbors & community, ecosystem management and more.

Please note: In order to protect the health and safety of all guests as we continue to be vigilant about the spread of COVID-19 all wineries will be reservation-only for the time being. It is essential to make appointments in advance and also review each winery’s posted policies and procedures before you arrive. Don’t forget your classiest wine tasting masks for entering and exiting the winery.
