Cakebread Cellars Napa, Napa

Nestled in the heart of Rutherford, Cakebread Cellars is a family-owned winery with a deep-rooted passion for crafting world-class wines. Since its founding in 1973 by Jack and Dolores Cakebread, the winery has grown from a modest 22-acre ranch into a 1,600-acre estate spanning some of Napa Valley’s most coveted vineyard sites. From the valley floor to the elevated terrains of Howell Mountain and Anderson Valley, each vineyard contributes to the distinctive character and complexity of Cakebread’s wines.

Cakebread Cellars is renowned for its commitment to quality, consistency, and sustainability. Their signature Napa Valley Chardonnay, along with exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, has garnered a loyal following, reflecting the family’s dedication to producing wines that pair effortlessly with good food and great company. The acclaimed Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet is a prime example of its meticulous craftsmanship, requiring over a decade of preparation before its first release in 2006.

Visitors to Cakebread Cellars can explore the estate through guided tours, tasting experiences, and curated food pairings, all set in state-of-the-art tasting rooms that celebrate Napa Valley’s rich winemaking tradition. More than just a winery, Cakebread Cellars is a testament to the vision and perseverance of a family whose love for wine and land continues to shape the future of Napa Valley winemaking.
