Craftsmanship in Every Sip, Your Spring Mountain Winery
Last verified: March 2026
Paloma Vineyard, founded by Jim and Barbara Richards in 1983, is a family-owned winery located at the top of Spring Mountain in Napa Valley. Known for its commitment to sustainable farming and multi-generational winemaking, Paloma produces award-winning Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that reflect the unique terroir of the region. The winery's legacy continues through Sheldon Richards and his sons, who honor the family's dedication to quality and hospitality.
Step into a truly special experience—a private, one-on-one tasting hosted in owner and winemaker Sheldon Richards’ cozy living room or out on his scenic deck, depending on the season. More often than not, Sheldon himself will guide you through this intimate hour-long tasting, sharing four of our wines, personal stories, and the 50-year history of Paloma Vineyard.
Step into our cellar and explore a decade of Paloma wines and experience how time shapes each vintage! From the vibrant energy of our most recent harvest still aging in the barrel to the depth and elegance of a well-aged bottle, this tasting is a journey through ten years of innovation and winemaking. As we sip and explore, we’ll dive into the magic of aging, the art of blending, and what makes a mature wine so distinct from its youthful counterpart.
Join our Vineyard Walking Tour & Wine Tasting, a behind-the-scenes experience that takes you through the roots of Paloma Vineyard. This 1.5 hr tour will immerse you in our world—walking through the vineyard, exploring our winery and barrel room, and discovering our hands-on sustainability practices. Of course, you'll also taste some of our exceptional wines along the way!
Join us for this once-a-year celebration of harvest season. Feel the grapes between your toes, immerse yourself in winemaking, and enjoy the views at Paloma Vineyard. This unforgettable two-hour experience kicks off at 10 AM and is $90 per person.
