- 01WineryNapa Valley
Buoncristiani Family Winery
This is what happens when four siblings take their dad's backyard vineyard dream and run with it — beautifully. Since 1999, the Buoncristiani family has been crafting approachable, food-loving wines (including a rare, killer dry Dolcetto) from their underground cave in Soda Canyon. Family dinners clearly run late here, and we mean that as the highest compliment.
- 02WineryOakville
Stalworth
Stalwørth is the rare thing — a winery where the next generation didn't just inherit a legacy, they deepened it. Sabrina and Timothy Persson arrived in Oakville to carry their family's 30-year winery into its boldest chapter yet, and the wines are exactly what you'd hope for: uncompromising, big-hearted Napa reds that feel like they have something to prove.
- 03Restaurant
Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch
A farm-to-table St. Helena institution rooted in multi-generational ranching and farming — it's the perfect midday pause that mirrors the heritage ethos of this whole itinerary.
- 04WineryNapa Valley
Jericho Canyon Vineyard
Dale and Marla built something special on this hillside near Mt. St. Helena — and then their son Nick joined as winemaker, making Jericho Canyon a genuine family affair across generations. Small-batch estate reds with serious structure, a stunning new Calistoga tasting room, and a story that just keeps getting better with every vintage.
