Favorite Wineries in the Napa Valley
The Napa Valley is best known for great wine ever since the 1976 Judgement of Paris Tasting cemented its worldwide reputation as a premium grape growing and winemaking area. And with over 400 wineries and tasting rooms to choose from the length and breadth of the valley we decided to be your guide and point you to some of our favorites.
As an added bonus our valued guests at SENZA can avail of complimentary wine tastings at each of the wineries featured below. When booking your stay in the Napa Valley with us, please ask about these exclusive wine tasting opportunities.

(707) 967-2626
Kathryn and Craig acquired the historic St. Helena Bergfeld Winery in 2003 and re-opened as HALL St. Helena in July of that year. Fast forward a decade to 2013 when the Hall family completed the restoration of the 1885 Bergfeld Winery and merged history and innovation with the completion of California's first LEED® Gold Certified winery.
2013 also marked the opening of a stunning new Visitor Center that offers visitors to the Napa Valley a wide range of wine tasting experiences of wines that span the vineyards of the Napa Valley. Adding to the visitor experience at HALL Wines is the collection of art including the now iconic "Bunny Foo Foo" that was installed in 2014.
Darioush

(707) 257-2345
Founded in 1997, by Darioush Khaledi and his wife Shahpar, Darioush winery is the culmination of a lifelong aspiration to share the art, architecture, wine, craftsmanship and culture that inspired their journey.
Making wines from vineyard sites that others overlooked, Darioush and his winemaker Steve winemaker Steve Devitt have focused intently on site selection and cooler microclimates in Southern Napa Valley - high atop Mount Veeder and the maritime-influenced Valley floor in the Oak Knoll District. Darioush is committed to a Bordeaux-style of winemaking - a blended style they long admired for the potential to truly express a wine's character.
