About Jericho Canyon Vineyard
Jericho Canyon Vineyard is a dedicated estate winery in the warm, northern Calistoga sub-appellation at the head of Napa Valley, producing wines that reflect the character of volcanic soils and the warmest growing conditions in the Napa Valley. Rex and Marla Geitner's 2003 Calistoga canyon Cabernet estate — the most scenically dramatic and geologically canyon-int. The estate's commitment to quality viticulture and site-specific winemaking has earned Jericho Canyon Vineyard a respected place among the region's most consistent and genuinely food-friendly producers.
The Calistoga growing environment shapes everything Jericho Canyon Vineyard produces. Volcanic soils and the warmest growing conditions in the napa valley define the estate's vineyard character, contributing the structure, natural acidity, and terroir specificity that distinguish the finest wines from this appellation. Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Petite Sirah form the backbone of the portfolio, with each variety expressing a distinct facet of the estate's unique growing conditions. Winemaking at Jericho Canyon Vineyard prioritizes transparency and balance over extraction, allowing the appellation's natural character to lead rather than winemaker intervention.
Visitors to Jericho Canyon Vineyard can expect a genuine and unhurried tasting experience that reflects the estate's commitment to quality and hospitality. The tasting room provides an authentic introduction to the estate wines and the Calistoga appellation. Whether visiting for a focused flight or a deeper exploration of the estate's vineyard programs, Jericho Canyon Vineyard offers the kind of direct producer experience that wine tourism in California wine country is built on — knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely connected to the land and the wines it produces.

Rex and MarlaRex and Marla Geitner — who established the estate in 2003 after identifying an extraordinary natural canyon bowl above the Silverado Trail as the site most capable of producing Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon of genuinely individual character — farm estate vineyards in an enclosed canyon environment whose volcanic walls, small natural lake, and canyon microclimate create growing conditions unlike any other Calistoga property.
✓
The canyon bowlThe canyon bowl geography creates a natural thermal environment that amplifies the Calistoga AVA's already dramatic diurnal temperature swings: the volcanic canyon walls absorb and reflect daytime heat with unusual intensity while the natural lake moderates nighttime temperatures, producing Cabernet Sauvignon fruit of extraordinary natural concentration and flavor intensity that the most exposed and conventional Calistoga benchland estates cannot replicate.
