About Goosecross Cellars
Goosecross Cellars is tucked along State Lane in Yountville, where the tasting room and patio look directly toward the surrounding vineyard. The property is smaller and less theatrical than many Napa estates, which allows the view, personal hosting and wine selection to carry the experience. It is particularly useful for visitors who want an estate setting without a long cave tour or formal architectural program.
The portfolio can include Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Sangiovese and other limited wines. This variety gives a host room to build a flight for guests who may not all prefer the same grape. The signature tasting provides the broadest introduction, while seasonal or reserve appointments can add more focused wines.
Visits are offered by appointment, generally between the morning and late afternoon. Current standard pricing is moderate by Napa Valley standards, and selected early-day seatings may be offered at a lower price. That discount is tied to specific days or times and should not be treated as the permanent fee for every reservation.
The vineyard-view patio is a defining feature, especially in mild weather. Guests should still confirm whether their reservation is indoors or outdoors and plan for heat, wind or rain. State Lane is close to Yountville restaurants and hotels, making Goosecross easy to combine with lunch or a town-centered itinerary.
Goosecross works well for couples, small groups and visitors seeking a conversational tasting with broad wine variety. The smaller scale means reservation timing matters, and larger parties should coordinate directly. The page should emphasize the intimate patio and vineyard connection without suggesting unrestricted walk-in access.
Goosecross pours everything from a Napa Valley entry tier to single-vineyard micro-lots, but only by appointment.

"Wino Notion likes Goosecross for its direct vineyard view, personal scale and relatively approachable tasting options. It feels connected to Yountville without becoming a downtown salon, and the varied portfolio can serve guests with different wine preferences."
