Stag's Leap Wine Cellars

Quiet nights in our vineyards highlight the passing of time as we age our wine. Wine, like people, evolves over the years. You want to follow the journey to see where it arrives.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Warren Winiarski, founder of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars. Warren's passion for wine and dedication to quality were truly inspiring. He was an early pioneer in the Napa Valley wine industry and a mentor and friend to many. He left an indelible mark on the wine industry and our hearts.     "Warren will be remembered as one of the protagonists of the success of Napa Valley wines and, certainly, for me, one of the inspirations who most influenced my professional history. Last but not least, a person with a huge humanistic culture and also a great sense of humor. A true friend."  - Piero Antinori, Honorary President of Marchesi Antinori 

Great wine starts with a commitment to the environment. Our vineyards are nurtured using sustainable practices that protect the earth and promote biodiversity.  #WineIndustry

The vines in our estate vineyards are flowering under sunny skies as the days warm up and fruit set begins. Each passing event marks a new stage in the growing cycle. #WineIndustry

What we do is not a recipe. You must take each vintage one at a time, which means not necessarily doing the same thing every year. #WineIndustry

Powerful wines are born in powerful places.
