If Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of Napa Valley, Chardonnay is its queen. Luscious and fruit-driven, the premium Chardonnays of Napa Valley are worth seeking out. We’ve compiled a list of the top eight Chardonnay producers to visit on a two-day Chardonnay tour of Napa Valley.

Day 1

新鲜且耐久

石山葡萄园
圣赫勒拿北路3331号
St. 海伦娜,加州94574
(707) 963-2636
Yelp: 4.5颗星,9个评论
需要预订:
方向:位于St. 29号公路外的海伦娜. 这处房产是麦克雷一家的家, 为了保护他们的隐私, 当你预约时,他们会给你指路.

Stony Hill has been a historic leader of Chardonnay in Napa Valley since the McCrea family founded the winery in 1943. The beautifully balanced Chardonnays are not your traditional Napa Valley “oak and cream” wines. They are crafted to age for years, so buy a case to drink some now and save some for later. The winery itself is secluded and peaceful, with incredible views over St. 海伦娜和更远的地方.

内幕消息: Come armed with questions and a ready palate—owner Willinda McCrea is the hostess and she can answer pretty much anything you want to know about 石山葡萄园 and Spring Mountain.

永远的经典

预订:旅游需预订
Directions: Turn left back onto Highway 29, then drive north for 3.5 miles. Turn right onto Dunaweal Lane, drive for less than a mile, then turn left onto the Silverado Trail. In 1.5 miles, bear right to get onto Highway 29, then turn left onto Tubbs Lane. 酒庄在右边.

1973年的蒙特莱纳酒庄霞多丽赢得了 巴黎审判, 为加州霞多丽赢得了全世界的尊重, 40年后,这款酒仍然令人惊叹. (The winemaker of that 1973 wine, Mike Grgich, now has his own winery, Grgich山 卢瑟福,也值得一看). The winery itself, an ivy-covered stone chateau, is one of the most ag体育正规美丽的建筑.

内幕消息: 看看酒厂下面的池塘, and if you’re lucky you’ll catch a glimpse of the resident otter.

浓郁的奶油味

Rombauer葡萄园
西尔维拉多北路3522号
St. 海伦娜,加州94574

需要预订:
Directions: Turn left onto Tubbs Lane, turn right onto Highway 29, travel south for 1.5 miles then make a slight left to get onto the Silverado Trail. Drive for 6.5英里,然后在你右边找酒庄.

Rombauer is a classic example of Napa Valley Chardonnay—rich, round, 充满了成熟的热带水果和黄油吐司的味道. 一定要预约, 周末的时候品酒室会很拥挤, but once you’re seated in the shaded garden sipping on Chardonnay, 其他的都融化了.

内幕消息: Schedule some extra time to admire the whimsical artwork collected by Koerner Rombauer that is on display.

纳帕,加州94558
(707) 255-3400
Yelp: 5颗星,4个评论
需要预订:
Directions: Turn right onto the Silverado Trail, then travel south for 26 miles. Turn right onto Oak Knoll Avenue, then turn left onto Big Ranch Road. Drive for less than a mile and the winery will be on the right.

刘易斯酒窖 has produced some of the highest scoring Napa Valley Chardonnays over the past decade. 葡萄来自优质的葡萄园, 经过100%苹果乳酸发酵, 在法国橡木桶里度过15个月, 创建奶油, 颓废的葡萄酒. 品酒体验同样高端, with only a few tasting slots open during the week and all the stops pulled out.

内幕消息: 如果你能见到兰迪, 其中一个业主, ask him about cars—he was a professional racecar driver for 23 years!

牛顿葡萄园

(707) 963-9000
Yelp4颗星,34条评论
需要预订:
Directions: Drive north from Napa on Highway 29 for 18 miles. Take a left onto Madrona Avenue, follow it until it dead ends, then take the road going to the right. 一直走到尽头,你就到了酿酒厂.

A pioneer in the 1980s, 牛顿葡萄园 helped put Napa Valley Chardonnay on the map. Today, the wine is consistently one of the best around, and the Unfiltered Chardonnay is exquisite. 这个酿酒厂是值得参观的, 漫步在英式花园中, to a jaunt in a six-wheel-drive Pinzgauer through the vineyards, 去优雅的品酒.

内幕消息: The Red Label Chardonnay is one of the best values in Napa Valley, at $28 per bottle.

米巷1155号
卢瑟福,CA 94573
(707) 963-9999
Yelp4颗星,355条评论
预订:特殊品酒和旅游需要预订
方向:沿着Madrona大道往回开, 右转到29号公路, 向南行进3英里. Turn left onto Mee Street, and you can’t miss the winery and the fountains.

Alpha Omega sources fruit from some of the best vineyards in Calistoga and Carneros to make delicious examples of the lighter style of Napa Valley Chardonnay. They are fruit-filled and clean—perfect for seafood or solo sipping. The winery sits alongside Highway 29 but you couldn’t feel farther from the rushing cars when you sit back in a plush deck chair under a wide umbrella, 在饮水机旁边.

内幕消息: This is a good spot for groups of four or more people—large tables and an accommodating staff make it a stress-free choice.

适合所有人的风格

Cakebread Chardonnays are great examples of the range of Napa Valley Chardonnay, 从脆和瘦, 成熟而圆润. These style differences reflects the vineyards, from warm mid-Napa Valley to cooler Carneros. 无论你的霞多丽风格如何, 你可以在这里找到, 还有一个美丽的, 新装修的品酒室.

内幕消息: Cakebread really shines in the education and food pairing departments—book yourself a guided tour of the vineyards or a seated pairing to experience true Napa Valley hospitality

方向:左转进入29号高速公路, 向南行进3英里, take a left onto Madison Street (the first light you come to). Turn right at the next block, and the tasting room is a few blocks down on your right.

This AG体育平台 tasting room pours some of the most sought-after small production wines in Napa Valley, 包括霞多丽. The tasting room started out as a local grapegrower’s home built in 1902, 并被列入国家史迹名录. 在建筑内部和周围, sculpture and artwork turn the space into a constantly evolving gallery of talented artists. 对于艺术和葡萄酒爱好者来说,这是一个不容错过的活动.

内幕消息: Both Pahlmeyer and TOR 把他们的酒倒在这里, allowing you a rare glimpse into their Chardonnay utopia without having to join the waiting list.

There is no shortage of fantastic Chardonnay in Napa Valley, and this list will give you a solid start on your exploration of all the region has to offer. 系好安全带,夏敦埃酒时间到了!
