About Cakebread

Our story begins with a piece of land, a family passionate about wine, and a community of friends and partners who helped bring Cakebread Cellars to life. Since founding the winery in 1973, we’ve set out to create quality wines that pair best with good food and good company. Our wines reflect the personalities of our estate vineyards as well as the spirit of our entire team. We’re proud to share these wines—from our family to yours.

50 years of Napa winemaking

Our History

For nearly 50 years, we've been crafting exceptional quality wines and hosting guests in the heart of Napa Valley. Discover our journey from Cakebread’s Garage in Oakland to the special spot we’re proud to call home in Rutherford.

The Cakebread Family

Meet Our Team

We believe the best way to create great wines and share them with others is to build a team—our extended family—who bring experience, expertise, and passion to everything they do.

Winery & Vineyards

Our Vineyards

We love highlighting the personalities of our estate vineyards—from Carneros all the way up to Mendocino County—through gentle approaches in the cellar so that each unique origin shines through in our top-rated wines.
