About Rarecat Wines
Rarecat Wines is a Napa Valley wine producer, established in 2003. RareCat has no home vineyard, sourcing single-vineyard Napa fruit from Diamond Mountain to Coombsville while also bottling a wine in Saint-Émilion. RareCat is a négociant-style producer sourcing single-vineyard fruit from multiple Napa Valley sub-AVAs rather than farming one estate.
Harris, who trained at the University of Bordeaux and earlier founded Amici Cellars in 1992, launched RareCat in 2009. Tastings are by appointment at Grove 45 Olive Oil in Calistoga, a venue RareCat has used since early 2023.
We have not found a published schedule for routine public tasting at Rarecat Wines. The wines are sold direct or through the trade, and any visit would be by arrangement, so contact the producer before planning one.
