About Jessup Cellars
Over the past two decades, Jessup Cellars has earned a loyal following for its ultra-premium wines of distinction and a word-of-mouth reputation for hosting one of the friendliest tasting rooms in all of wine country.
Why Visit Jessup Cellars
The Wine & Cheese Pairing seats guests with a flight of five current releases and artisan cheeses from Laura Chenel, guided by a wine educator who talks through Napa Valley appellations and winemaking.

The Setting
Washington Street in Yountville runs past Jessup Cellars, where the gallery interior doubles as tasting space. Art exhibitions rotate regularly—most recently "Ode to Illustrators"—and visitors can browse while tasting. The bar accommodates walk-ins from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM daily, and seated tastings take place at tables among the artwork.
The Tasting Experience
The Wine & Cheese Pairing runs 45 to 60 minutes and includes Laura Chenel cheeses, seasonal selections, and nuts alongside five wines. Wine educators lead the session, explaining varietals and appellations. Walk-ins who don't want a reservation can stand at the bar for three pours at $30, or simply stroll the gallery with a complimentary splash in hand during the Art Walk hours.
