Historic wineries in Napa Valley
Napa's wine story goes back to the 1800s, and several estates still pour in the stone buildings and caves built by their founders. These wineries have history you can see: original cellars, family stories spanning generations, and a few names that helped put Napa on the map. Many offer tours that cover the history alongside the tasting, which is worth booking on a first visit.
24 wineries, ranked by guest rating. Details checked against each winery's own site.
Tips before you go
- Book the tour, not just the tasting, to see the historic buildings.
