Introducing Napa Valley’s Best Wine Tasting Experience:
The Grgich Hills AVA Tasting
Experience Napa Valley’s Terroir Like Never Before
When designing our latest wine tasting experience, the focus was clear: depth and discovery. Our Grgich Hills Estate AVA Tasting takes you deeper than a traditional wine tasting into what makes Napa Valley one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions—its terroir.
For those looking to explore exclusive wine tastings in Napa, this experience is an ideal choice. Napa Valley’s diverse microclimates and soil types create a stunning variety of wines, each with unique characteristics that tell a story of place. The Grgich Hills Estate AVA Tasting is your opportunity to explore this richness in exquisite detail. Each wine in the tasting is carefully chosen to highlight the distinct qualities of a specific American Viticultural Area, or AVA, where it was grown. Through this curated selection, you’ll experience how the sun, soil, and iconic Napa Valley fog collaborate to shape each sip.
What Makes Grgich Hills Estate a Standout in Napa Valley
What sets Grgich Hills Estate apart as one of the best wineries in Napa is our unique approach to agriculture, with a focus on techniques that function in perfect harmony with nature. All five of our vineyards are Regenerative Organic Certified, meeting the most exacting industry requirements in terms of soil health, biodiversity, and employee welfare, without the use of harsh chemical pesticides.
To top it off, our estate-grown philosophy ensures the highest level of quality, so that every grape in our wines comes directly from our vineyards, allowing us to control the entire winemaking process from budbreak to bottling. This means we’re able to craft our wines with minimal intervention, letting the unique flavors of the earth shine. Each bottle of ours is a true expression of the land it comes from, and a standout for those seeking organic Napa Valley wines. This level of care and attention is rare and translates directly into the glass.
Dive into Napa’s AVAs with a Guided Tasting Experience
The AVA Tasting is not just about wine; it’s about connection – connection to the land, the craft, and the rich history of Napa Valley winemaking. This isn’t a passive experience. Guided by one of our knowledgeable hosts, you’ll uncover the fascinating interplay of climate, soil, and artistry that makes each AVA so distinct. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or simply looking for things to do in Napa Valley this weekend, it’s a chance to taste the difference for yourself, from the vibrant acidity of wines grown in cooler regions to the bold, luscious flavors of warmer areas. And for those who love to learn, it’s a masterclass in viticulture led by someone who shares your passion for wine.
For lovers of exceptional wine, the AVA Tasting is also an opportunity to sample some of the best Grgich Hills wines, including rare, limited-production bottles. Many of these wines are unavailable on store shelves or even in other tastings at the estate. Designed to be an intentional exploration, each bottle showcases the very best of each AVA, making every pour feel like a discovery.
And of course, no experience at Grgich Hills Estate would be complete without savoring some of our award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon. Our two most unique Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings, Miljenko’s Selection Rutherford and Yountville Old Vine, are palpable examples of the diverse flavors achieved through natural, region-specific winemaking. Tasting these two iconic wines side by side is the centerpiece of our AVA Tasting lineup – an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in the nuance of Napa Valley’s two most famed Cabernet Sauvignon producing areas.
To enhance your visit, the tasting includes a guided tour of our estate. With breathtaking views of our Rutherford vineyard and a glimpse into our winemaking cellar, this experience is as immersive as it is educational. Whether you’re looking for a memorable activity this weekend or a deeper appreciation of Napa Valley’s wine culture, the AVA Tasting delivers on all fronts.
