Duckhorn Vineyards is one of Napa Valley's best-known Merlot producers, with a portfolio built around Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and other Bordeaux varieties. Under normal circumstances, the St. Helena estate offers a garden-oriented, seated hospitality experience that is closely tied to the Duckhorn brand and its long history in Napa Valley.
However, travelers planning a visit in 2026 should not route themselves to the traditional Duckhorn Vineyards estate at 1000 Lodi Lane. Duckhorn announced that the St. Helena property closed beginning in April 2026 for a major renovation, with reopening planned for spring 2027. During the closure, the company is directing tasting guests to The Duckhorn Collection at Paraduxx on Silverado Trail, where Duckhorn-family wines can still be experienced.
For Discover Wine, this closure should be displayed prominently because it materially changes trip planning. The Duckhorn page remains valuable for brand searches and future planning, but the active tasting destination is currently different from the historic estate address. Visitors should verify the current venue and reservation details shortly before travel, especially as the planned 2027 reopening approaches.
