Head north from Yountville and get ready for a little elevation. In Rutherford you’ll veer right uphill and keep going to the end of the road. If you enjoy a bird’s eye view book the Oak Grove Table & Cheese Platter experience, and enjoy a flight of wines while looking out over the southern expanse of the Napa Valley. Or if you’re looking to experience a grand wine cave and taste wine straight from the barrel book their Cave Tour & Barrel Tasting. Among their array of wines Rutherford Hill’s Merlots continue to standout. Rutherford Hill has been working steadily to improve energy efficiency, including an extensive LED lighting upgrade, so they can ensure almost all of their energy comes from their solar array. They also recently installed Electric Vehicle charging stations, so your EV can soak up some energy while you soak up the views. For some added spoilage you can head a short ways back down the hill to Auberge Du Soleil and have lunch or dinner on their Bistro patio suspended on the hillside.
