Taste Pure Expressions of Napa Valley at Nickel & Nickel Winery in Oakville

Guided by passionate wine educators, you'll uncover how vineyard soils, microclimates, and winemaking techniques shape each distinctive expression of Nickel & Nickel wines and hear the stories of the farmers, families, and traditions behind every bottle. An experience built for collectors, students of the glass, and anyone who comes to Napa Valley to taste their way to a clearer point of view. A thoughtful selection of five Cabernets is poured alongside small bites from our estate chef, with plenty of room for questions, comparisons, and the kind of conversation that turns a tasting into a lasting memory.

This relaxed yet focused way to experience the Nickel & Nickel philosophy — four wines, four vineyards, poured side by side. Your host will introduce you to single vineyard, single varietal Cabernets and share insights along the way as you enjoy your tasting flight at your own pace. Patterns emerge, preferences sharpen, and a clearer sense of what Napa Valley terroir really means begins to take shape, one thoughtful sip at a time. Effortless yet exceptional, this tasting is for those who trust their own palate and like to learn by tasting.

A guided tour of the Nickel & Nickel farmstead and a seated wine tasting of our 100% single-varietal, single-vineyard Napa Valley wines. An afternoon for the curious and the kind of guest who would rather taste Napa Valley one vineyard at a time than be told what to think of it. This immersive tour invites you to walk our historic Oakville farmstead, from the pre-revolutionary Gleason Barn to a state-of-the-art fermentation cellar and barrel room, and discover the singular focus that defines our wines. The tour concludes with a flight of four wines chosen to reflect the terroir and the distinct character of each vineyard site, complemented by an artisan cheese plate. Tasted side by side, the wines reveal how soil, elevation, and microclimate quietly shape what ends up in the glass.
