Napa Valley provides a bounty of wine tasting opportunities, but few offer the unique and intimate experience of the Reverie Winery Estate. Nestled at the western base of Howell Mountain, where Calistoga meets St. Helena, the newly renovated winery provides gorgeous vineyard views and the opportunity to taste small-production, single-vineyard wines.
Grant and Megan Long have owned Reverie Wines for over a decade, and they and their team have updated all aspects of the winery to modernize the winemaking process and create an exceptional visitor experience. At Reverie, the winemaking is dedicated to producing wines that reflect the terroir of the vineyard sites from which they come. Grant explains, “Our vineyards produce grapes that reflect the individual and unique aspects of each plot’s soils.”
Best known for its focus on single-vineyard growing sites, Reverie produces Bordeaux-style red wines from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Grapes are sourced from renowned vineyards, including Napa Valley’s Diamond Mountain and Atlas Peak. Additionally, they produce wines from a handful of unique grapes rarely seen in Napa Valley, including Barbera, Tempranillo, and Grenache Blanc.
Reverie wines are only available onsite, and visiting this small family winery surrounded by beautiful views and vineyards is the only way to experience them. The vision at Reverie Winery is to model the Napa Valley of the 1970s and ’80s, when tasting happened in the living room or at the winemaker’s kitchen table. It is about building a relationship with the customer and providing an experience that matches the quality of their wines.
Reverie specializes in small group tastings and curates each experience to meet the guests’ specific interests. During a visit to Reverie, guests are treated to a property tour followed by an informative yet relaxed tasting with time to enjoy and learn about each wine. Larger groups are welcome with advanced planning to create the best experience.
Those who appreciate the rarity and craftsmanship of Reverie’s exceptional wines can join the family of Reverie’s loyal supporters nationwide, who receive shipments of wine twice a year and are welcomed back for regular visits. The Estate allocation is focused exclusively on Napa Valley single-vineyard Bordeaux-style wines: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. The Estate selection highlights Napa Valley vineyards’ bold structure and refined complexity.
