About Barbour Wines
Barbour Wines is a family-owned Napa Valley estate producing Bordeaux-style wines from vineyards in the Calistoga and St. Helena appellations. The winery draws on decades of grape-growing experience in the northern Napa Valley, where warm days and mineral-rich alluvial soils produce Cabernet Sauvignon of power and finesse. The portfolio includes single-varietal bottlings and a proprietary red blend that showcases the complementary nature of the classic Bordeaux varieties.
The vineyards at Barbour benefit from the warm microclimate of upper Napa Valley while maintaining balance through the moderating influence of evening mountain breezes. Cabernet Sauvignon forms the backbone of the program, supported by Merlot for mid-palate richness and Petit Verdot for color and spice. Winemaking is hands-on and detail-oriented, with small-lot fermentation, careful barrel selection, and extended aging in French oak to develop layers of complexity.
Barbour Wines offers tastings by appointment at the estate. The experience is personal and unhurried, conducted in a setting that reflects the family's deep roots in Napa Valley agriculture. Visitors can expect to taste current releases alongside a discussion of the estate's farming practices and winemaking philosophy. The northern Napa Valley location provides easy access to Calistoga's charming downtown and the many wineries along the Silverado Trail.
