We had an amazing experience at Chappellet. It was our first visit, the drive up the long and winding road is beautiful. Once inside, our experience was very personalized and we felt like we had the place to ourselves (and our amazing guide Javier). We started with 2 whites and took a short walk to see the amazing views. The 3 remaining reds were already set at a table for us with another custom tasting card. Javier then treated us to another wine he thought we would love based on our conversations…and he was right! We really appreciated Javier sharing his knowledge and information on the winery and beautiful art pieces on the property.
If we could give 10 stars, we would! We have been to quite a few fine wine tastings over the years, and none have even come close to our experience at Chappellet. In addition to the wine being exceptional, this was an incredibly personable, informative, and absolutely fun experience for us! Last but not least - look for Derek!! He made the entire experience extra special. The winery is lucky to have him!
This is such a picturesque winery in Napa Valley. It is worth the windy drive. Chappellet Winery is rich in history, founded in 1967 by Donn and Molly Chappellet, this family-owned winery has carved a niche for itself by its unique location on Pritchard Hill. Donn and Molly Chappellet were pioneers in recognizing the potential of hillside vineyards in Napa Valley. How is this spot different? Chappellet has a challenging terrain. Situated at altitudes ranging from 800 to 1,800 feet, the grapes face a daily struggle against the elements. The steep, rocky slopes and well-drained, volcanic soils create an environment where vines must work harder. You might think the struggle would hurt the grapes. However, this struggle is precisely what gives the grapes their complexity. At these elevations, the vines experience greater exposure to sunlight and cooler temperatures, leading to a slower ripening process. Amazing! I’ll say this…. I bought a case.
Our favorite winery in Napa. Have been a member for a decade. The wine ambassador, Justin, was the best. In addition to their flagship Cabs, I enjoy their whites including their Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay. All their estate wines are great.
Such an amazing winery! The location is beautiful and the wine tasting was perfect. We will definitely come back!
