Night Wines, located in Napa Valley, was established by winemaker Scott Mangelson and Heidi Bamburg, who both transitioned from careers in management and technology to pursue winemaking. Mangelson, originally from Utah, developed an early interest in farming and later gained experience at Redmon Vineyards, where he achieved notable accolades. Night Wines, founded in 2013, focuses on producing Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, sourcing grapes through long-term contracts to ensure quality. The winery emphasizes aging its wines for an additional year before release, with a current production of around 600 cases annually. The tasting experience is offered at The Saint, a venue in downtown St. Helena that Mangelson and Bamburg acquired in 2017. The space features a cozy atmosphere with various seating options and often hosts live music and monthly winemaker dinners. Night Wines pays homage to Napa's cool evening temperatures, which are crucial for grape development. The winery's philosophy centers on enjoying wine during relaxed moments with friends and family, reflecting their commitment to crafting unique, high-quality wines.
