Built to Last

Winery Sixteen 600

A 120-year-old farmhouse on the edge of Sonoma Plaza — this is what wine history looks like when it's still very much alive. The Coturri family's groundbreaking legacy in organic viticulture is baked into every bottle, and sipping certified organic wines surrounded by antique theater seats and spinning vinyl is the kind of experience you don't forget.

Mathew Bruno

What began as a home winemaking passion in 2008 has quietly become one of Napa's most compelling small operations — Italian heritage threading through every pour, with fruit sourced from storied vineyards like Beckstoffer George III. The renovated house nestled among olive trees sets the scene perfectly for wines with this much soul.

Seavey Vineyard

The bones of this place date to 1870 — a former cattle ranch with genuine ghost winery history tucked into Napa's eastern hills. The Seaveys have been making estate wines here since 1979 using sustainable practices, and tasting in a renovated stone dairy barn that has stood through more than a century of California history is genuinely moving.

Amulet Estate

Amulet Estate's story took a dramatic turn in 2020 when fires swept through Napa — and what followed was a complete, painstaking replant guided by organic principles and sheer determination. Tasting small-batch Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay in their cave, poured by the winemaking team themselves, feels like witnessing a genuine comeback.
