Wine Tastings

Item Description

VIP Tasting for four (4) people with Cheese Plate in Merryvale's Historic Tank Room. 

The wines of Merryvale are inspired by the European sensibilities of René and Laurence Schlatter. Make no mistake; these are Napa Valley wines from hillside vineyards, meaning they’re powerful and concentrated. But the coolness of the sites in which they’re grown, and the work done in the winery to manage the tannins for approachability, creates wines with personality, texture, elegance and acidity. These wines are meant to age gracefully. For this reason, the Schlatters tend to hold their Cabernet Sauvignons longer prior to release, giving them time to develop as they rest in bottle. Again, it goes back to the culture of wine in which they were raised.

ABOUT MERRYVALE As the first winery production facility built after the repeal of prohibition, Merryvale occupies a unique place in the history of Napa Valley and California wine history.

Situated on Highway 29 in beautiful St. Helena, the iconic building that houses Merryvale Vineyards has long been established as a premier winemaking facility. With roots dating back to the early days of fine wine production, Merryvale was the winemaking home to such luminaries as Robert and Peter Mondavi, the Christian Brothers, and H. William Harlan.

Merryvale's proprietors, the Schlatters, are traditionalists with vision, committed to preserving the winery's rich past while forging a path of winemaking innovation.
