12 Best Wineries in Angwin

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit Winery with Incredible Wine and Even Better Hospitality!

Let’s start with the fact that we may have gotten a little lost on the way (who knew Google Maps wasn’t a sommelier?), but thankfully, our host at CADE Estate Winery welcomed us with open arms and a full glass—exactly how every great experience should begin.

From the first sip to the last, the wines were chef’s kiss perfection. I wanted to revisit so many of them that I briefly considered “accidentally” getting lost again just for a second tasting. Each pour was better than the last, making it dangerously easy to forget time existed.

But the real star of the show? Our host. If winery tours were a sport, they’d be the MVP. Charming, knowledgeable, and so engaging that we could have sat there for hours, sipping and soaking in every story about the estate.

If you’re putting together a Napa tour list, CADE needs to be on it. Just don’t trust your GPS too much—getting lost might just be part of the experience!“

“This is an amazing winery with amazing wines. While they only produce 2500 bottles of their own most of the wine that they make or made for others, the wine testing experiences, extremely elegant, and you are served at the wine cave during the harvest seasons, like October, you can smell the fermentation of the wine, which is wonderful. This is not your average $20 bottle of wine. I recommend this place for serious wine enthusiast who won nothing but the best most of the wines are made to be stored for 7 to 10 years. The owners and the sommelier are great people that will treat you like their own.“

“Family owned. Great wines and better people.“

“Our stop at Red Cap was truly special and memorable, owing exclusively to the warmth and generosity of vineyard owner, Tom, and Red Cap’s proprietor, Chris. The wines are enchanting and delicious, and the walking tour of some of the vineyard included some interesting insights into the joys and challenges of growing fruit on Howell Mountain. Thanks for a magical visit to the property!“

“My sister booked this place for a private tasting from numerous recommendations and it turned out very good. We liked several of their wines and it had a rich history. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to tour the property and see more, but I'd definitely recommend this to others.“

“We have been wanting to go to Bravante Vineyards for some time now as we recently were gifted their 2017 Merlot, which we absolutely loved. Jeff was our host and he was incredibly knowledgeable and such a pleasure to chat with. We felt like we had known him forever. All of Bravante’s wines were delicious and we couldn’t help but purchase a case of their reds to take home. We also joined their wine club. We live locally and are looking forward to our next visit. Thanks for your stellar hospitality Jeff!“

“What a great experience today at Cimarossa. Wine was fantastic and the experience top notch. We are hooked. Can’t wait for our first shipment. A must for cab fans.“

“A fantastic tasting experience! Amy was a great hostess and taught us a lot about the estate, the wine and the history of ADAMVS. The wine was succulent, deep and layered. The estate was beautiful and natural. I would highly recommend visiting the next time you're in Napa.“

“Great staff and family that produces great velvety wines. The Howell Mountain Appalachian is one of my favorite regions due to its volcanic terroir. Robert Craig wines have elegant profiles and enjoy much of their selection. As a member, it’s a treat to scale up to one of the highest points of Howell Mountain for a tasting while overlooking the valley of Angwin.“
