Vine Cliff Winery, located in the eastern hills of Napa Valley, has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1871 by George Burrage and N.W. Tucker. The winery has changed ownership multiple times, with significant contributions from various owners, including the Sweeney family, who purchased the 100-acre property in 1985 and sold it in 2023 to Canadian entrepreneur Stephan Crétier. The winery primarily produces Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a focus on Bordeaux varietals that thrive in the region's unique terroir. The property features approximately 25 acres of vineyards, with steep slopes that enhance grape quality. Visitors can enjoy stunning views, a small pond, and the historical significance of the site, which includes remnants of past mining activities. The winery offers a small wine club with access to limited production wines and exclusive tasting experiences. Recent changes in ownership have prompted plans for a new winery building and an expanded cave, with the first vintage from the new winemaking team expected in 2023. Vine Cliff Winery is recognized for its commitment to quality and the production of exceptional wines reflective of its hillside terroir.
