About Yount Ridge Cellars
Yount Ridge Cellars is a Napa Valley wine producer, established in 2009. Eric Sklar's Oakville estate named for pioneer George Yount, whose 1836 land grant once covered the winery's original vineyard. Land once granted to Napa's founding pioneer, the estate's original vineyard sits on part of George Yount's vast 19th-century land grant, near the site of his 1836 log block house.
Founded by an Alpha Omega co-founder, Eric Sklar, who helped start Alpha Omega Winery, also served as St. Helena's vice-mayor and later as a California Fish and Game commissioner. A globe-trotting winemaker at the helm, Jean Hoefliger trained in Switzerland and worked at Château Lynch-Bages and Château Carbonnieux in Bordeaux before leading winemaking at Newton, Alpha Omega, and now Yount Ridge.
We have not found a published schedule for routine public tasting at Yount Ridge Cellars. The wines are sold direct or through the trade, and any visit would be by arrangement, so contact the producer before planning one.
