Dunn Vineyards, established in 1979 by Randy and Lori Dunn, is located on Howell Mountain in Napa Valley. The winery began with a 14-acre property already planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and has since become one of the oldest continuously operating wineries in the area. The historic home on the property dates back to 1890 and has served various notable figures in the wine industry. Randy Dunn, who transitioned from studying entomology to winemaking, previously worked as a winemaker at Caymus Winery, where he significantly increased production. He played a crucial role in establishing the Howell Mountain AVA and has consulted for several neighboring wineries. The Dunns are committed to environmental stewardship, having donated land to preserve natural habitats. Dunn Vineyards farms 42 acres across five distinct sites, focusing primarily on Cabernet Sauvignon. Their winemaking emphasizes single varietal wines, with a commitment to organic farming practices. The winery produces Howell Mountain and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, with the former being entirely estate-grown. Visitors can expect a rural setting surrounded by native vegetation, reflecting the Dunns’ philosophy of maintaining a natural balance in their vineyard operations.
