Adventures & Vineyards!

There are SO many amazing vineyards in the Valley, below are a few of our favorites! After asking locals what their favorite vineyards are, no two people have responded the same. There is truly a special place for everyone here and we cannot wait for you to discover yours! Contrary to popular belief, there are many fun adventures in the Valley outside of drinking wine. We've included a few of our recommendations below! Note: although the Sterling Vineyard gondola ride and household name is enticing (we fell for it), your time is better spent at smaller, non-commercial vineyards and wineries.

Faust

https://faustwines.com/visit/

One of our favorites! A stunning, restored 19th-century Victorian mansion located in St. Helena, with architecture evoking the Faustian pact through contrasting use of light and dark wood. Check out the Faust Haus, but be careful... they'll have you agreeing to join the Pact after a few glasses!
