About Atlas Peak
Atlas Peak is one of Napa's most dramatic mountain appellations, with vineyards between 760 and 2,600 feet. Above the fog line, intense sunlight and cool nights produce deeply concentrated, mineral-driven wines with remarkable aging potential.
Atlas Peak is one of Napa Valley's most dramatic mountain appellations, with vineyards planted between 760 and 2,600 feet above sea level. Above the fog line, these high-altitude vineyards receive intense sunlight and cooler nighttime temperatures, producing deeply concentrated wines.
The volcanic soils here are thin and rocky, forcing vines to struggle for nutrients — which winemakers prize for the concentrated, mineral-driven wines it produces. Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon is known for its firm structure, dark fruit, and remarkable aging potential.

St. Helena
St. Helena is Napa Valley's wine history in concentrated form — home to the oldest continuously operating winery (Beringer, 1876) and California's first tasting room (Charles Krug, 1861). Main Street's walkable mix of tasting rooms, restaurants, and the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone makes it the cultural heart of upper Napa.

Oakville
Oakville sits at the crossroads of Napa Valley's most important wine influences — warm enough for powerful Cabernet Sauvignon but cooled enough by bay fog for remarkable finesse. It is home to the legendary To Kalon vineyard (established 1868) and some of Napa's most iconic producers.
