Turnbull Wine Cellars offers a charming Napa Valley escape with stunning vineyard views, exceptional wine, and welcoming staff, perfect for a leisurely tasting.
"Counting Robert Mondavi and Cakebread as its neighbors, this small, family-owned and operated winemaker doubles down on its small-but-mighty Cabernet Sauvignon. (This spring, they played host to our first-ever Napa road-to-table event.) Here, second generation vintner Zoe Johns, who took the helm of Turnbull at the age of 33, brings her vision for a modern vineyard to life: a tasting gallery features a rotating roster of artwork from artists like Berenice Abbott, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and Herb Ritts, while a more elaborate private tasting and pairing program leans heavily on what's freshest from the garden. It goes without saying that the vineyard views are pretty killer from just about everywhere on property, too. "
Wineries are plentiful in Napa and it can be difficult to choose, this one is a very nice introduction. It is a family-run vineyard, mainly Cabernet Sauvignon but also Merlot and Petit Verdot. What makes all the difference is this beautiful garden and the fantastic staff who take care of the vines right through to bottling and sale.
