- 01WineryNapa Valley
Buoncristiani Family Winery
This is what happens when four siblings take their dad's backyard vineyard dream and run with it, beautifully. Since 1999, the Buoncristiani family has been crafting approachable, food-loving wines (including a rare, killer dry Dolcetto) from their underground cave in Soda Canyon. Family dinners clearly run late here, and we mean that as the highest compliment.
- 02WineryOakville
Stalworth
Stalwørth is the rare thing: a winery where the next generation didn't just inherit a legacy, they deepened it. Sabrina and Timothy Persson arrived in Oakville to carry their family's 30-year winery into its boldest chapter yet, and the wines are exactly what you'd hope for: uncompromising, big-hearted Napa reds that feel like they have something to prove.

Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch
A farm-to-table St. Helena institution rooted in multi-generational ranching and farming, it's the perfect midday pause that mirrors the heritage ethos of this whole itinerary.
- 04WineryNapa Valley
Jericho Canyon Vineyard
Dale and Marla built something special on this hillside near Mt. St. Helena, and then their son Nick joined as winemaker, making Jericho Canyon a genuine family affair across generations. Small-batch estate reds with serious structure, a stunning new Calistoga tasting room, and a story that just keeps getting better with every vintage.
