Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, Premium winery in Napa County, United States.
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars is a winery occupying approximately 44 acres of vineyard land in Napa County, backed by distinctive rock formations. The estate combines working vineyard areas with visitor facilities where tours and tastings take place.
The property was established in 1970, transforming land previously used for prune and cherry cultivation into a respected wine producer. This shift marked the beginning of major changes in how the Napa Valley region developed.
The name comes from the dramatic rock formations of the Stags Leap Palisades that rise above the property and shape its visual identity. This natural landmark connects the winery to the surrounding landscape in a way visitors immediately recognize when they explore the grounds.
Visitors can book wine tastings and guided vineyard tours throughout the year. The grounds are designed for walking, so comfortable shoes and unhurried exploration time are recommended.
A wine from this producer demonstrated in the 1970s that California winemakers could compete with European traditions. This moment shifted how the world viewed American wines permanently.
