1. The Vineyard-Lined Drive
This winery’s experience starts before you even walk through their doors. As you enter the property, you drive through a vineyard-lined entrance. It seems like something from a movie.
2. The Exterior Of The Winery
The estate we see today is fairly new. We learned during our tasting that the current estate is a result of the 2014 Napa Earthquake. The Trefethen Family Vineyards rebuilt the facility and this beautiful structure is what stands today.
This winery is the first one I ever visited in Napa Valley. Having been to Paso Robles before, I did not know what to expect of Napa Valley. Having Trefethen Family Vineyards as the first impression of Napa, I was blown away.
3. The Garden
Just like everything else on the property, the plants and trees are sure to impress. There are flowers and colors popping all around the estate. We loved taking photos around the garden area and in front of the foliage.
4. The Interior Of The Winery
Because of the 2014 Napa Earthquake, the interior of Trefethen Family Vineyards is new and remodeled. The wood beams cover the ceilings and create the aesthetic surrounding you.
Though the estate is newly rebuilt, the winery is historic to Napa. When I told my dad I was stopping by Trefethen Family Vineyards, he could not believe it. He told me he went wine tasting there in the 1980’s. He would not recognize the operation now. Their success is evident in the vineyard’s grounds.
5. The Barrel Room
After our wine tasting, I wandered into the barrel room. It is a meticulously kept array of barrels holding wine that will soon be bottled and shelved.
6. The Flight Options
The winery offers 4 different choices in flights. The Essentials, Small Lots, All Reds, and the Seasonal Flight. These options were perfect for our group. The choices range from white wine exclusive to red wine exclusive. Depending on the weather, you may want more white or more red options.

7. The Wine
When I first took a sip of the 2021 Dry Riesling, I told my friends it would be the perfect white wine for a day at the pool. When we got home, I did exactly that. I enjoyed the bottle with family and was able to tell them about the winery I visited.
My favorite white wine was obviously the 2021 Dry Riesling. I walked out of the winery with several bottles. We also fell in love with the 2018 Dragon’s Tooth.

8. The Location
Located in Napa, CA, this winery sits near Napa and Oakville. When we visited, it was the first stop of the day. It is a close drive to Saddleback Cellars, a hidden winery nearby.
