Fresh From the Garden

Tucked behind the winery is Dolores Cakebread’s vegetable garden, a 3/4-acre plot of famed Rutherford dust that she staked claim on early in the winery’s history, not for her favorite grape variety, but for growing the vegetables for feeding family and guests alike.

The garden now features 40 beds, and produces year-‘round under the able green thumbs of gardener Marcy Snow and Dolores, who is a certified master gardener.

Our chefs plan their menus based on what is coming out of the garden at that time, which—depending on the season—includes: heirloom tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, asparagus, artichokes, turnips, carrots, beets, chard, kale, bush beans, pole beans, cardoons and all our fresh herbs.

The winery also produces its own olive oil from a small grove of trees on our property, as well as organic honey from hives at one of our vineyards in the southern end of the Napa Valley.
