About Stags' Leap Winery
Stags' Leap Winery is a historic estate centered on a nineteenth-century Manor House that once operated as a fashionable country resort. The property's stories, architecture and gardens create a romantic, sometimes theatrical atmosphere that differs from the modern visitor centers nearby. It is also a separate winery from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, despite the nearly identical name.
Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon are important parts of the estate's identity, joined by limited and appellation wines. The Manor House experience combines a tour with a seated tasting, while Take the Leap focuses on limited estate releases. The private porch tasting offers a smaller, more personal setting in front of the historic house. Seasonal immersive programs may add sound, lighting and storytelling.
The winery is open daily by appointment only and cannot accommodate walk-ins. Every visitor must be 21 or older and included in the reservation count, even when someone will not taste. The communal Manor House tour, private porch format and limited-release tasting have different group caps and times. Private parties of eight to twenty use a separate group program.
The historic house and grounds give the visit a strong sense of Napa's resort-era past. Walking is part of most experiences, and indoor or outdoor portions can change with weather. The limited capacity keeps the property quiet but also makes advance booking essential. Guests should use the full winery name when navigating.
Stags' Leap Winery is best for history lovers, Petite Sirah fans and adults seeking an estate tour. Reserve well ahead, confirm the selected time and distinguish the address from Stag's Leap Wine Cellars at 5766 Silverado Trail. Seasonal theatrical programs are temporary and should not replace the core Manor House description.

"Wino Notion likes how the Manor House and resort history give the wines a memorable setting. The porch, gardens and estate stories create a visit that feels very different from the neighboring modern wineries."
