Mellow wine tasting and tours for a favorite Napa Valley biodynamic wine producer. Reservations are required for tours and tastings. Tastings can include food pairings and therefore costs a bit more than other places, but you get your fair share of wine at a decent price. Please note, this place can get busy and staff can be inattentive. We still love Sinskey and their crew there are good people. Combine that with great prices and classics like their original Carneros Merlot and P.O.V. Right Bank blend, Pinot Blanc and Zinfandel are classic Carneros wines.

"his tasting room is a partnership between three vintners, Jason Holman and his wife Helen of Holman Cellars, Timothy Keith of Leaf & Vine Winery and Kevin Cadle of Cadle Family Wines. All three are owners and winemakers and as Kevin told us “we do most everything ourselves” – such is the case when you are running your own boutique winery. Each vintner makes their wine in the city of Napa – in one of the several industrial/business parks surrounding the city which are currently home to numerous wineries. None of these vintners own their own vineyards. And while all are making their wine in the Napa Valley – many of their wines are sourced from other parts of California.
All are producing wines from a diversity of varietals – these are small lot intriguing wines that are reasonably priced."
