From Barnett Vineyards.Posted by Administrator
Tours and tastings at Barnett Vineyards are private and arranged by appointment only. No more than eight people are included in each tour to ensure an intimate experience. 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. The deck provides a view of most of the estate vineyards; leading to conversations about mountain farming practices, vine spacing, etc. The deck also affords magnificent views of the Napa Valley floor 2000 feet below. Cabernet Members are welcome to reserve a picnic lunch at one of several intimate tables located on the property.
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). The tasting experience at Barnett Vineyards is casual, intimate and informative. It is our goal for you to enjoy yourself while visiting and learning about this special place on Spring Mountain.
Tours and tastings are by appointment only, between 10:00 am to 4:00 pm daily. Please call 707-963-7075 and ask to schedule an appointment. Our office is open Monday - Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
