Beringer: High-Class Tours, Tastings, and Wines

7/9/2017

 
As the oldest continually running winery in Napa Valley, Beringer boasts an impressive 140 year record of winemaking. Designated as a historic district, the estate is adorned with 19th century architecture, verdant gardens, stained glass windows, and is widely considered one of the most beautiful properties in the Valley.​ ​

When it comes to seeing the estate, visitors can select between two historical tours, including the Legacy Cave Tour, which guides guests through historic tunnels under the estate, as well as the Taste of Beringer Tour, where guests are treated to wine and food pairings in the famous Rhine House. For tastings, there’s setting options from private to porch, and for a single couple to a full group. Summertime in northern California brings plenty of sunshine, making the porch an ideal shaded spot to enjoy a glass or two. ​

And, beginning this weekend, guests can enjoy live music in Beringer’s backyard every Saturday from 12:30 – 4:30p.m. Set-up in picnic format, guests are invited to bring a blanket and can purchase picnic items and wines by the glass from the Sherry Shack, open from 11:00am – 5:00pm. ​

​Should you want to continue the experience after you’ve left or discover a taste of it without leaving your home, we recommend purchasing a bottle or two. A personal favorite of ours is the 2001 Beringer Steinhauer Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon.


Beringer's Steinhauer Ranch, renamed to honor the winery's long-time vineyard manager, Bob Steinhauer, lies just northeast of the town of Angwin, at about 1800 feet elevation. Its soil is volcanic with a richly red color and the texture is friable and loose. When Beringer first planted the vineyard, the distinctive character of the grapes was immediately evident, and it was selected as a regular part of the Private Reserve blend beginning in the 1993 vintage. Check it out now. ​
