About Honig Vineyard & Winery
Honig Vineyard & Winery is a family-owned and operated winery that emphasizes sustainable farming practices and solar power to minimize its environmental impact. Known for its exceptional Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, the winery offers visitors a chance to enjoy tastings in a beautiful setting with views of the vineyards. Their commitment to sustainability and quality winemaking makes them a unique destination in Napa Valley.
Why Visit Honig Vineyard & Winery
The Eco Tour Vineyard Experience at $65 walks through owl boxes, cover crop plantings, and solar arrays while pouring Honig's Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet in the rows. It's a working demonstration of certified sustainable farming, not a lecture.
- Eco Tour Vineyard Experience ($65) includes owl boxes and cover crops
- Solar panels power the entire winery operation
- Reserve Room AVA Experience ($115) compares soil structures
- Blend Your Own offered daily at 11am for $40
- Family Terrace Tasting includes grape juice for kids
The Setting
The Terrace at Honig sits directly adjacent to Rutherford vineyards, with rows of Cabernet running east to west just beyond the railings. Solar panels cover the winery building behind the outdoor seating area, visible from every tasting table. The family built this as a working winery first, with guest areas added later — so the production facility, fermentation tanks, and crush pad are all part of the view.
The Tasting Experience
The Honig Terrace Tasting at $40 pours seated flights of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet outdoors with vineyard views, while the Fly-By Flight at $30 offers a faster version for visitors on tighter schedules. The Reserve Room AVA Experience at $115 focuses on soil structure differences across Napa Valley vineyard blocks, comparing wines side-by-side in a private indoor space. Blend Your Own at $40 runs daily at 11am, letting guests mix their own Cabernet blend from barrels.
