Au Sommet Napa Valley is a 45-acre winery situated on the slopes of Atlas Peak, at an elevation of 2,100 feet. The estate features nine acres of organically farmed vineyards, primarily planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and some Petit Verdot. The winery was established in 2008 through a partnership between vintner John Schwartz, viticulturist Jim Barbour, and renowned winemaker Heidi Peterson Barrett, who has a notable background in Napa Valley winemaking. The winery's name, which means "at the top" in French, reflects both its high elevation and commitment to excellence. Au Sommet produces a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend exclusively from estate grapes, ensuring quality and uniqueness. Visitors can expect a tasting experience that emphasizes the artistry of winemaking, with wines that appeal to enthusiasts and collectors. In addition to Au Sommet, the team also produces wines under the Amuse Bouche and Coupe de Foudre labels, showcasing a variety of styles, including a premium Merlot and a distinctive Sauvignon Blanc. The winery's tasting room is located in downtown Napa, where visitors can enjoy a curated experience by appointment.
