Handwritten Wines, located in Yountville, Napa Valley, was established by three couples with medical backgrounds, two from South Dakota and one local. They also own Jessup Cellars, situated nearby. The winery focuses on small production wines, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from hillside vineyards in Napa Valley, with an annual production of about 2,000 cases, mostly sold directly to consumers. The tasting experience has evolved over the years, moving from a renovated bungalow in St. Helena to a dedicated modern tasting room completed in early 2020 in southern Yountville. This new space features a courtyard and includes amenities for drivers, which is uncommon among Napa wineries. Tastings can be enjoyed in various settings, including a private room for intimate gatherings. Handwritten Wines offers unique tasting experiences, such as the Bread & Butter Tasting, pairing their wines with artisan breads and butters. Their wine selection includes a range of whites and reds, with limited production wines available exclusively to members. The winery also provides culinary-focused tours of a nearby farmhouse, showcasing sustainable practices and local produce.
