Stagecoach Vineyard

What you would expect from any vineyard, but few have. A great experience that is not to miss.

I was able to tag along with a friend «in the know» of the wine business. We had a private tasting scheduled with a delightful young woman that drove us up to the top of a hill to taste their offerings.
The views were incredible, it was a slightly cloudy morning so you could see the clouds rolling across Oakville down below us. The leaves on the vines around us on the drive up were changing colors and every turn was a different pretty view. The wines were solid and they have a delicious cab that’s traditional big, hefty, totally Napa, and screaming for a steak.

Beautiful winery! A friend of a friend’s family owns this vineyard. Since I don’t have an exactly direct connection, I don’t feel entirely biased writing this review. We came here at the end of our Napa trip to have a barbeque in the vineyard.
The BBQ was located on the pavilion which is located at the top of the hills of Napa. From there you get sweeping views of the entire Napa Valley (see photos). It was absolutely breathtaking – especially at sunset. To be honest, it is the perfect wedding location (but, I’m not sure they really do that).
Now onto the good stuff, the wine! Stagecoach’s primary business is selling their grapes for other vineyards to use. And let me tell you, they have some wonderful grapes! We tried some really rich reds that were full bodied and delicious. I believe they mostly do private tastings, so if you have the time, I would give them a call. They really know their stuff!
