Shafer Vineyards
For a truly intimate and educational tour and tasting, make an appointment at this low-key, family-owned winery. Founders John and Doug Shafer, along with winemaker Elias Fernandez, use sustainable farming and solar energy to make truly outstanding wines, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more relaxed, personal tour and tasting—it highlights the true flavor and passion for quality Napa Valley winemaking. The $75-per-person price, which includes tasting five wines (including their famed $265-per-bottle Hillside Select), is significant, but for wine lovers, the 1 1/2-hour experience is worth it. These are popular tours—book at least a month in advance.
