    Jarvis Vineyards

    Start your cave day at Jarvis and prepare to have your jaw drop — this is a fully underground winery carved into the hills east of Napa, complete with an underground stream running through it. The rare varietals and serious reds are a perfect match for the dramatic setting.

    Yountville

    The culinary heart of Napa Valley makes for a perfect midday reset between cave stops — grab lunch at one of the village's celebrated restaurants and soak up the upscale, unhurried energy before heading north.

    Del Dotto Vineyards

    Del Dotto is pure theater: barrel-lined tunnels, candlelight, and wines tasted straight from the cave with all the atmosphere you came to Napa for. The cave architecture here is genuinely unlike anything else on the valley floor — plan to linger.

    Schramsberg Vineyards

    End the day at one of the most historically significant caves in California — Schramsberg's tunnels date back to the 1800s and stretch for over two miles under the Calistoga hills. The sparkling wines are world-class, and the sense of history down here is palpable.
