About Crocker & Starr
Crocker & Starr offers a private St. Helena estate visit built around the connection between its vineyard, winery and small-production wines. The experience begins outdoors, where guests are introduced to the historic property and the farming that supports the current portfolio. It then moves through the working winery before concluding with a seated presentation beneath the garden arbor or in an appropriate hospitality space.
Sauvignon Blanc opens the conversation, followed by estate reds such as Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. The exact selections change with vintage and availability, which allows the host to explain the property through current wines rather than a fixed commercial flight. The format is personal and paced for one party, making it better suited to guests who want discussion and vineyard context than to travelers looking for a quick walk-in pour.
The Estate Vineyard Experience is approximately 75 minutes and currently costs $95 per guest. An elevated version with cheese and charcuterie is $125 and requires at least 48 hours of notice. Standard online reservations are designed for groups of six or fewer. Larger groups need to contact the winery directly rather than splitting into separate bookings.
Crocker & Starr is close to St. Helena but feels removed from the busier Main Street and Highway 29 tasting environment. Guests should plan for walking through vineyard and production areas and dress for the weather. The experience is not a public tasting counter, picnic stop or restaurant. Food appears only when it is included through the advance pairing option.
This estate is a strong fit for small groups interested in Cabernet Franc, farming and a single-property narrative. Reserve early, confirm mobility needs and allow enough time before the next appointment for the hosted experience to unfold without rushing.
