Stag's Leap Wine Cellars is a Napa Valley first-growth estate with a long and distinguished wine reputation, considered a true Stags Leap vineyard. It is a vinous paradise and a must-stop winery, known for its estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignons—CASK 23, S.L.V., and FAY. These are some of the most highly regarded and collected wines worldwide, fashioned to express classic elegance, structure, and ageability. Pound for pound, they are considered the best cabs in Napa; they are not inexpensive but are superb, reflecting the place in which they are grown. The property itself is stunning, with breathtaking surroundings, vine-covered hills, meticulously manicured gardens, and the iconic palisades. The architecture blends modern elegance with history. The tasting experience is a journey of the senses, with knowledgeable, passionate, and gracious staff who explain the wines with great care. They guide guests through the nuances, making the experience educational, enjoyable, and an unforgettable overall experience. The attention to detail and personalized service is commendable, ensuring guests feel welcomed and valued. It is a must-visit destination for a refined and enchanting escape, a truly leading winery of Napa and the world. Reservations are recommended, with the last available often in the afternoon.
Wine tasting is available but there are no wines on display like most other vineyards. Tasting is done in a more comfortable setting but it’s not as casual. Worth a visit if you like their wine.

We went without a reservation and they treated us extremely well. They gave us a taste of their wines without charging us anything. So we have done a guided tasting again and it has been a great experience. Not only do they have exceptional wines, but they know how to explain them and treat you with great care.
