The Terraces Wine, located in Napa Valley, is recognized for its exceptional value and engaging hillside tours, making it a standout among smaller wineries. Owned by Timm and Sharon Crull, the winery has a rich history, with grape cultivation dating back to 1881. The first vintage was produced in 1985 by founder Wayne Hogue, who established the winery after purchasing the land in 1974. The Crulls acquired the winery in 2001, expanding their holdings by purchasing the adjacent Quarry Hill Vineyard. The Terraces spans 110 acres, primarily planted with vineyards, and produces around 4,000 cases of wine annually, including Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a unique Chenin Blanc sourced from Clarksburg. The winery also creates balsamic-style vinegar, a rarity among Napa producers. Visitors can enjoy personalized tours led by Timm or his team, often in a 4WD vehicle, providing insights into the vineyard's viticulture. The tasting room offers a cozy atmosphere with eclectic art, and guests can sample a variety of wines, including a notable Cabernet Franc and a refreshing Falanghina. The Terraces Wine combines quality, affordability, and a memorable visitor experience, making it a must-visit destination in Napa Valley.
