Exploring pure expressions of Napa Valley through single-vineyard wines
Founded by the Far Niente Partners in 1997
Nested on a historic farmstead in Oakville, Nickel & Nickel crafts single-vineyard, single-varietal wines from Napa Valley’s most coveted appellations to express profound personality of place.
A Captivating Story of Discovery
The greatest challenges in life can lead to remarkable rewards. Born from our discovery of distinctive new vineyards during the phylloxera epidemic, Nickel & Nickel Winery was created to explore single-vineyard sites across Napa Valley’s prestigious nested appellations, allowing our winemaker to capture the purest expression of terroir in every glass. From our historic farmstead in Oakville, restored and reimagined by the Nickels and their partners, we are writing the second chapter in Far Niente’s history of exceptional winemaking and tireless stewardship that honors co-founder Gil Nickel, whose battle with cancer coincided with the creation of Nickel & Nickel.
Taste the brilliance and purity of Nickel & Nickel wines
There is a never-ending sense of surprise and delight with every Nickel & Nickel wine. Each single-vineyard designation is a celebration of place, revealing how vineyards only miles apart, but of the same grape varietal, yield wines of distinct character and precision.

Each year, our winemakers select up to 20 vineyards worthy of a Nickel & Nickel single-vineyard designation. Reexamining favorite sites and searching Napa Valley’s most prestigious appellations for new discoveries share equal importance. Every aspect of a vineyard must meet our exacting standards, including the soil, rootstock, clonal selection, exposure, and farming practices. The viticulture team farms with precision, based on what is required for each site to achieve the purest expression of place.
Cabernet Sauvignon
With our singular focus on 100-percent varietal wines from vineyards of distinction, Nickel & Nickel takes great pride in capturing the intriguing nuances of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in many of Napa Valley’s nested appellations. More than 20 wines express different regions and vineyard sites, offering you an in-depth opportunity to explore the fascinating diversity of Napa Valley through the lens of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Chardonnay
Though Nickel & Nickel’s focus represents a departure from Far Niente’s philosophy of blending vineyards to achieve a distinct house style, Far Niente’s first flagship wine continues to captivate us, Every year, we explore our curiosities by creating single-vineyard Chardonnays from select Far Niente estate vineyard blocks to express another dimension of aromas, flavors, and textures.
