Stags' Leap Winery is a historic estate in the Stags Leap District and should not be confused with Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, the separate winery located nearby. The property centers on an 1893 stone Manor House and the story of an old Napa country resort, giving the visit a romantic, somewhat eccentric historical character. Petite Sirah is an important part of the winery's identity alongside Cabernet Sauvignon.
Hosted experiences generally incorporate the Manor House, estate history and a seated tasting. Depending on the reservation, guests may explore limited-release wines, Cabernet and Petite Sirah or enjoy a more private porch setting. The estate's stories—ranging from its resort era to colorful local legends—make the visit feel less like a technical cellar seminar and more like stepping into an older chapter of Napa Valley. Private group tastings are available for larger parties by advance arrangement.
This is a good choice for travelers who enjoy historic properties and want something different from modern luxury architecture. The appointment-only policy means spontaneous visits are not practical. When building the itinerary, double-check the winery name and address so the reservation is not confused with Stag's Leap Wine Cellars.
