Explore our sustainably farmed vineyards, savor our acclaimed Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, and discover why Cakebread Cellars is a must-visit destination for Napa Valley wine lovers.
A Tradition of Food, Wine & Hospitality
Our in-house culinary team has been perfecting the art of wine and food pairing since Cakebread Cellars was founded in 1973. Join us for private dining, seated pairings, and strolling tastings at our home ranch in Rutherford. Every Cakebread Cellars experience can be tailored to your group — and to include current release, reserve, and even library wines when available. We look forward to curating a memorable Napa Valley gathering for you and your guests.
Multi-Course Dining Experiences
A tour of our Rutherford winery sets the stage for an unforgettable Napa Valley wine dinner. Our founders, Jack and Dolores Cakebread, created Cakebread Cellars wines to pair with any table that hosts a good life, and our Winery Chefs carry that philosophy into every menu. Enjoy a standing hors d’oeuvre reception followed by a three- or four-course seasonal, farm-to-table lunch or dinner with thoughtful wine pairings. You’ll get to know our chefs and their approach to pairing great wine, great food, and great company.
Private Cooking Classes
Step into the kitchen with our Winery Chefs for a hands-on Napa Valley cooking class. Spend the morning or afternoon working side by side with friends, family, or colleagues, or take in a guided demonstration in a relaxed classroom setting. Afterward, tour the winery and enjoy an appetizer reception and a three-course plated meal featuring the fruits of your labor, paired with Cakebread Cellars wine.
Wine & Food Pairings
Let our Winery Chefs be your guide as we demystify wine and food pairing for every palate. Stroll our winery garden and taste original recipes prepared with the freshest seasonal ingredients, each thoughtfully matched to a special selection of wines. You’ll learn how flavors interact and enhance one another, and how to recreate that balance in your own kitchen. A vegetarian pairing menu is available on request.
Large Group Experiences
From classic seated tastings to lively receptions and focused Cabernet flights, Cakebread Cellars hosts private gatherings designed around your group. Each experience is built to bring people together by exploring our wines, pairing them with food, or simply sharing time at the table in a setting that feels warm, welcoming, and distinctly Napa Valley. Corporate retreats, client celebrations, and milestone occasions are all at home here.
