Bella Union Winery creates beautiful connections in wine and life

Winemaker Brooke Price aims to craft captivating wines of elegance and depth with a liveliness that lifts all senses and conversations. Like every Far Niente family winemaker, she believes in the highest standards of winemaking, starting with a beautiful, biodiverse vineyard that is farmed sustainably and with precision. Capturing the spirit of each vineyard is her North Star—an approach she learned making single-vineyard wines at Nickel & Nickel. Then, the art form of blending every Bella Union wine takes the wheel.

Blending is the passport to the beautiful union we strive for in every bottle—wines with polish, radiant fruit, texture, and joie de vivre. A blend of different vineyards, grapes, fermentation vessels, and barrels results in wines that are elegant and glamorous, yet smooth and versatile.

Bella Union Cabernet Sauvignons embody the beautiful union that we capture in every bottle—layers of juicy, red fruit flavors, a polished, silky texture, and plush tannins. Winemaker Brooke Price makes it her mission to highlight Rutherford’s beautiful red fruit and cocoa powder notes in every vintage. Our philosophy of blending Cabernet Sauvignon with other harmonious red varietals makes Bella Union the belle of the ball when it comes to food pairing.

Our curiosity to experiment with new grapes found the perfect muse in Far Niente’s newest vineyard, Grand Sky. Tiny blocks of Pinot Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier—grapes found in some of southern France’s most intriguing white wines—provide our winemaker with a playground of aromatics, flavors, and textures for Bella Union’s white blends. Each wine is quintessentially Bella Union: elegant, vibrant, and versatile with a beautiful seamlessness.

What started as a dream endures as a legacy of devotion. With a rich history dating back to 1885, Far Niente is one of Napa Valley’s most iconic wine estates. Storied hillside caves and time-honored traditions at our historic Oakville winery allow us to craft elegant Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignons, renowned for a distinctive house style. Guided by an endless pursuit of the pinnacle of excellence, we are fiercely committed to preserving this captivating place and its winemaking legacy through the ages.

For five decades, Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon has embodied our passion and commitment to making the very best wine possible. The result is timeless wines that are rich in flavor, structure, and depth with captivating elegance, freshness, and length. Known for age-worthiness and collectability, our Cabernet Sauvignons express the distinctive fusion of dark fruits, velvety texture, and silky tannins that have become synonymous with the Far Niente house style.
