This winery is always a must when traveling to St. Helena. Appointments are necessary for all visits, even pick ups. It is a long drive up the hill, but the surrounding view is worth the drive. During the tastings, the host will take you into the caves which adds to the overall experience of the wine and winery. Ask for a private tour and you will be able to barrel taste if available, and it is a must. All the wines are phenomenal, with the Cab Franc a personal favorite.

This Winery is one of my favorites, although I have only been there once, so you know it makes that big of an impresario. The main host meets you out in a field in an old restored "Tin Trailer" on part of their property. This really adds to the atmosphere and keeps things very personal and friendly. The Cab Franc is by far one of my favorites, and their Rendezvous is phenomenal. Appointments are a must because they do not have a house open to public. Definitely a stop one should make while in St. Helena.
