The original Napa Icon? As Napa's oldest continually operating winery the Beringer story goes right back to 1875. Through 150 years it's twin hallmarks have been innovation and quality. The first to use gravity fed facilities, the first to operate with hand-dug caves and cellars, the first to give public tours of their facilities, and the first and only) to have both a red and white wine named #1 wine of the year by Wine Spectator Magazine. Their signature reserve Cabernet, from Napa's widely acclaimed 2018 vintage is an experience not to be missed.
