Caves
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.
