Vine to Table for Over 50 Years
More than 50 years ago, Jack and Dolores Cakebread found their inspiration in Napa Valley. Their spirit lives on in our wines made to bring people together, inspired by our kitchen and grown with commitment to caring for the land for generations to come.
Visit Our Napa Valley Tasting Room
In the heart of Napa Valley, just off Highway 29, there’s a seat for you at our table. Join us for a classic tasting or an elevated wine-and-food pairing, where seasonal plates from our garden meet the wines they were made for. Reserve in advance. For groups of 10 or more, ask about a private experience.
Wines Made for the Table
Every bottle is made with a meal in mind: richly flavored, beautifully balanced, and grown to taste like the place it came from. From the Sauvignon Blanc Jack first planted in Rutherford to our Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon on Howell Mountain, each wine carries the character of the vineyard that grew it, across our estates in Napa Valley, Carneros, and Anderson Valley.

Upcoming Cooking Classes
Live Fire Grilling
We’ll elevate the classic barbecue with some inspired and delicious food cooked over fire. Join us at our outdoor barbecue area where we’ll prepare a feast using the grill and wood-burning oven then enjoy an al fresco lunch.
Summer Garden Inspired
The bounty of the garden is the primary influencer for what our Estate Chefs serve at the table from season to season – and in summertime, that means tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash & so much more!
Tapas & Paella
Likely the most recognizable dishes from Spanish cuisine, tapas & paella are the quintessential styles of food perfectly suited for celebrations. Slow-cooked over an open flame on our outdoor grill, paella is a traditional Spanish dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients to feed a crowd.
Pinot Noir & Mushrooms
A classic pairing! The graceful tannins & fruit notes of our Anderson Valley Pinot Noir wines complement the earthy, umami mushroom flavors with perfection. From shiitake to trumpet and porcini to candy cap, the variety of locally foraged and farmed fungi will delight the senses.
Stewards for Future Generations
Quality and sustainability have been Cakebread cornerstones since our first vintage in 1973. We were the second winery to earn Napa Green certification, and we farm regeneratively: cover crops and grazing sheep in place of synthetic fertilizers, natural predators in place of pesticides, and zero runoff into local waterways. No herbicides. No synthetic fertilizers. Ever.
