Del Dotto - The Del Dotto’s cave was one of the first wineries in Napa Valley, hand dug in 1885. They began aging their red wines in the caves after restoring it in 1997. It became evident that “Cave Aged Wines” were more voluptuous and opulent than wines aged in modern facilities. Come and experience wines thieved right out of the barrels! Taste the difference between barrels made from the great forests of the world, up to 45 different flavors of highly rated wines. Voted #1 wine tasting by world wine critics! The Caves are candle-lit Friday through Sunday and Italian opera plays until 4pm. After 4pm the Doors and Santana! Cave Experience and Barrel Tasting includes barrel tasting in the cave out of several types of different oak barrels. Following the barrel tasting you will sample select bottled wines along with handmade chocolate truffles and cheese. Finishing off with a sampling of our ports.

Jarvis Winery - The Jarvis winemaking facility is totally contained within 45,000 square feet of cave tunneled into the scenic Vacas Mountains four miles east of the town of Napa. It is not only a visual masterpiece, but a technical masterpiece as well. The underlying principle behind the Jarvis cave construction is that a parabolic shaped tunnel is inherently stable, so the cave tunnels and chambers are in the shape of a true parabola. Throughout the cave’s design and fixtures you will find many arches, subtly echoing its parabolic structure. With the help of Jim Gangwer and other artisans, the cast bronze doors, brass wall sconces, arched alcoves, and fiber optic chandeliers add to the mystique and beauty of the cave. William Jarvis has designed and created a unique cave winery which functions to produce ultra-premium wine, but which in form alone creates an incredibly beautiful atmosphere in which to enjoy the very wine it produces.
