TASTEMAKERS

The Most Exclusive Wineries in Napa Valley

7 wineries

There's a tier of Napa where the wine sells out years before it's bottled. Harlan, Screaming Eagle, Colgin, and Scarecrow never built public tasting rooms. The rest will pour for you eventually. Promontory books out months ahead, and its allocation list runs about two years deep. Getting in means joining a list and being patient.
