Famed for their SLV cabernet sauvignon that beat Bordeaux at the 1976 Paris tasting, they still make some of the very best cabs in Napa. Tastings from $15. Not to be confused with Stags' Leap Winery!
We did the fire and water tour and tasting. It was completely worth the price to have Ned teach us the fantastic history of the wine and the vineyards! Wines were fantastic w the food pairing!! Do it!
Newly renovated tasting room is pretty awesome. Two 4-wine flights, $25 and $40. Tasting fee is waived for two bottle purchase. Fay is the best cab. Sauv blanc is really good too.
Great taste room. Brightview and modern decoration. 45 dollars for tasting 4 kinds of wines that are only available there. If you buy wines the taste fee can be waived.
Lovely place to sample the Cask 23 wine that beat out all of the French wines in its category. It's not cheap ($230/bottle) so just do the $45 tasting. Great staff.
The most incredible tasting room overlooking the vineyards, breathtaking! Wine experts were really knowledgable and extremely helpful. Well worth a trip, hope to return one day...
Lovely place to taste wines, buck up the $45 and do the tour, though. At tasting, tell them you're traveling, and they'll give you a free Wine Skin ($6 in Manhattan) with a purchase.
This is the winery that won the 1976 Paris tasting and put Napa on the map. This is Stag's Leap district's best, I highly recommend their Cask23! (the Stags' Leap Winery is no comparison)
Know that you have visited one if the best kept secrets in Napa Valley it's time to head up to St Clement in St Helena for one of the most amazing views and single vyd cab selections!
Move on to another winery. Mediocre wines. Low flavor high alcohol and lots of heat on the finish for most wines here. Also really slow and pretentious service.
From the FAY Outlook & Visitor Center, to the Estate Vineyards, to the underground caves, a visit to Stag's Leap Wine Cellars is a must-see feast for the eyes as well as the palate.
The FAY Outlook & Visitor Center uses plenty of glass to let in natural light and take advantage of the stunning views
