Schramsberg		Map Website
Hugh Davies, President and Winemaker of Schramsberg, is devoted to carrying on his parent's vision: to create America's premier sparkling wines. His passion for constant refinement of vineyard sources and winemaking techniques is captured in each bottle. Our small winery spares no effort to create the complex bouquet, refreshing acidity and depth of flavors found in the finest of sparkling wines. Schramsberg grapes are sourced from 80 cool-climate vineyards located in four counties. In a century-old tradition rarely practiced today, the winemakers use barrel fermentation and barrel aging in the creation of our sparkling wines. After bottling, the wines are hand-stacked and hand-riddled in our historic Diamond Mountain caves. Our releases have been heralded as some of the best sparkling wines available in the world.

von Strasser Winery		Map Website
Von Strasser Winery is located in the Diamond Mountain region of the Napa Valley nestled between the towns of St. Helena and Calistoga. Diamond Mountain is situated in the Valley's western Mayacamas mountain range. Althought outwardly an inhospitable place for agriculture to take root, Diamond Mountain has long been known for producing some of the Napa Valley's most concentrated red wine. In fact, viticulture and wine making in the region dates back to at least the 1860's. As a champion of this rich heritage, in 1999 Rudy von Strasser spearheaded a committee of fellow property owners to petition the BATF to acknowledge Diamond Mountain as an official American Viticultural Area. In May 2001, Rudy's efforts came to fruition: "Diamond Mountain District" was declared as a unique AVA.

Storybook Mountain Vineyards		Map Website
Climate - in the broad context of temperature, precipitation, prevailing wind and storm patterns as well as exposure to the sun - is of crucial importance for optimum fruit development and thus the quality of a vineyard. Storybook Mountain is located at the top of the Napa Valley, on an eastern slope of the Mayacamas Range whose ridges separate Napa from Sonoma. This gives us the desired eastern exposure, an orientation we share with many of the greatest vineyards in Bordeaux and Burgundy. Adequately warm weather for ripening is rarely a problem in the Napa Valley - and certainly not for us. Open to the morning sun and providing an oblique angle to the hot afternoon sun for a growing day of even temperature, an easterly exposure helps avoid both the heat spikes and heat accumulation that can occur on a late summer afternoon.

Jarvis Winery		Map Website
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.

Chateau Boswell		Map Website
At Chateau Boswell we strive to be responsible to our community's ongoing dependence upon a strong environmental structure by being not only a sustainable agricultural property, but also a totally organic one. Our vineyards and landscaping are all maintained by hand labor, ours and our employees, and with this closeness to our land and fruit we have developed a very sensitive and attention to detail approach to the production of our hand crafted wines. The original Chateau Boswell vineyard was planted with one of the earliest French Cabernet Sauvignon clones brought to America.

Vineyard Twenty Nine		Map Website
13,000 square feet of man-made cave space serves not only as a dramatic showplace for our wines, but provides precise regulation of temperature and humidity for aging each barrel and bottle. Too many factors can adversely affect a wine during the aging process--the wines' formative years, so to speak. The extreme care taken to keep our caves in optimal condition, both in terms of temperature regulation, and overall cleanliness, allow us to ensure that the these years are of pure benefit to the wine without the risk of exposure to elements which might be harmful to aroma and flavor.
