Best off the Beaten Path Tasting Rooms: Franciscan Estate

5/1/2016

 
The Winery: Franciscan Estate
Unique Point: Classic Napa
Signature Wine/Varietal: Cab, Merlot, Malbec

Another historical landmark, Franciscan is one of Napa Valley’s most venerable wineries. Its rich history reaches back more than three decades. Franciscan wines take their signature style—the rare combination of rich, vibrant flavors framed by supple tannins—from the ideal climate offered by Napa Valley’s cool, southern half and from the time-honored tradition of small-lot winemaking, blending from hundreds of barrels to craft fine wines that fully express the classic varieties.

At the winery, tasting offerings include casual tasting at the bar as well as daily small-group Taste Explorations, blending seminars, wine and food pairings and varietal tastings that explore wine from the vineyard to the table.
