The event begins in our barrel room with a glass of either Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc and then Pinot NoirPinot Noir. These tastings go hand in hand with an introduction to the property, its vineyards and the wines.

The group then moves through part of the vineyard to the observation deck on the top of Rattlesnake Hill to taste Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Depending on the time of year, the tour finishes back in the barrel room, perhaps with a barrel taste of a new vintage of Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon or Rattlesnake Hill Cabernet Sauvignon (if available).

Tasting wine is undoubtedly one of the big attractions of Napa Valley. Our historic estate offers several tasting rooms where you can sample our unparalleled selection of wines and learn more about winemaking. Our tasting room staff knows everything about the wines and can help you choose those that will best suit your wine preferences.

The Old Winery Reserve Tasting Room glows with warm redwood and features elegant wines that are full-bodied, rich and complex in flavor. Here, wine lovers taste Reserve, Library and limited release wines while surrounded by historic photographs of the estate. The Reserve Room menu typically includes our critically acclaimed Private Reserve Chardonnay and Private Cabernet Sauvignon, our intense Howell Mountain Bancroft Ranch Merlot and our luscious Nightingale dessert wine. Choose four wines from an extensive menu for only $25.

The Old Bottling Room housed the winery’s original bottling facility. Today, the tasting room features a wide range of light and medium wines. Taste red, white or blush wines from the Napa Valley and beyond. We often show wines that are only sold at the winery. Join the fun and select three wines from a seasonal menu. The tasting fee of $10 includes a Beringer souvenir glass!

The Pinot Noir Facility sits just behind the main chateau and was styled after a French carriage house. Built in 2003, this state-of-the-art facility houses one of the largest photovoltaic systems on any winery in the world.

Public tours are conducted daily, at 11:00am, 1:00pm and 3:00pm. Tours last approximately 50 minutes. Reservations may be made in advance (space is limited). There is a $25 per person charge.

Tours include a brief DVD presentation and a walking tour of our sparkling wine production process and a guided tasting along the way of our three sparkling wines and one of our pinot noirs. In addition to English, the DVD is available in Spanish, French, German and Japanese.
