Why Visit Girard Winery
The Taste of Rhône tasting serves Mixed Whites, Grenache, GSM blend, and Petite Sirah—a lineup that sets Girard apart from the Cabernet-focused majority in Napa. Visitors who want to explore Rhône expressions in a valley dominated by Bordeaux varieties will find that focus here, paired with the relaxed pace of upvalley Calistoga.
- Taste of Rhône tasting includes Mixed Whites, Grenache, GSM blend, and Petite Sirah
- Heritage Tasting offers four signature wines for $50 over 90 minutes
- Mountain Series Experience features small-lot mountain wines with cheese and charcuterie
- Located at 1077 Dunaweal Lane in Calistoga, open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Setting
Girard sits on Dunaweal Lane, a quiet industrial stretch in Calistoga that lacks the polished driveways and landscaped approaches common elsewhere in Napa. The address puts visitors closer to working wineries and production facilities than to manicured estates. Inside, the seated tastings unfold with views of the Calistoga landscape, where the valley floor opens wide before the Mayacamas and Palisades ranges frame the horizon.
The Tasting Experience
The Heritage Tasting seats guests for four signature wines over ninety minutes, priced at $50. The Taste of Rhône expands that format to $75, moving through Mixed Whites, Grenache, GSM, and Petite Sirah. At the top, the Mountain Series Experience pairs small-lot mountain-grown wines with artisan cheese and charcuterie for $85, also over ninety minutes. All three follow a seated format, with no walk-up bar tasting.
