BEHIND THE SCENES BEFORE HARVEST
•
This is one of the most crucial times of the year. What happens, weather wise, over these next few weeks will have lasting impact on the vintage. This is a time when w**emakers walk their vineyards and keep a close eye on the weather.
•
Yesterday we joined our w**emaker Jon Keyes as he walked Kenefick Ranch . Jon was tasting and taking samples of the fruit. He was trying to get an idea of flavor development, sugar levels and seed ripeness. These factors, along with weather patterns will determine when we pick.
•
With all if that in mind, it looks like the Elusa harvest will begin next week. Stat tuned!!

DISCOVER ELUSA
•
We are a boutique w**ery, located at the northern tip of Napa Valley, in the small town of Calistoga. Personally we believe that Calistoga is a hidden gem within Napa Valley and it is our goal to highlight and champion our small town.
•
We have our estate vineyard, and then we highlight and partner with historic, family-owned vineyards across the Calistoga AVA. All w**es are made by Thomas Rivers Brown, one of Napa Valley’s most sought after w**emakers.
•
Currently we only make about 2,300 cases and we sell all of it direct. You wont find any of our w**es in distributions, but we have been traveling around the country hosting small private events with members and collectors. It’s been an exciting year and there’s a lot more ahead.
•
If you love discovering new w**es, or you are just interested in seeing what it’s like to work in the w**e industry, we hope you will follow along.

THE CULINARY EVENT OF THE SUMMER.
•
Every summer, there are events people attend—and then there are evenings people remember long after the last glass has been poured.
Set against the backdrop of Calistoga, this intimate evening brought together guests for an unforgettable celebration of w**e, food, and community. Guests enjoyed a remarkable culinary experience crafted by Chef Evan Neumann and the Michelin-starred team from Auro, with each course thoughtfully paired alongside ELUSA w**es.

The evening began with an intimate tasting led by legendary w**emaker Thomas Rivers Brown, offering guests a rare opportunity to explore the stories, vineyards, and philosophy behind each bottle before gathering around the table for dinner.

More than a meal, Founders Circle Dinner is a celebration of the people who make ELUSA what it is—our members, our partners, our growers, and our friends. It’s a reminder that the finest w**es are best enjoyed not simply for what’s in the glass, but for the conversations, laughter, and connections they inspire.

ON THE ROAD WITH ELUSA | FOLLOW THE JOURNEY
•
For those just discovering us, welcome. We are Elusa—a small, boutique w**ery devoted exclusively to the w**es and vineyards of Calistoga.
•
Over the past year, we’ve taken a piece of Napa Valley beyond our cellar doors, hosting intimate, private tastings in the homes of collectors and friends across the country. From Los Angeles to Naples, Augusta, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and now back to Charlotte for our second visit this year, each gathering has been a chance to share not only our w**es, but the stories, people, and place that inspire them.
•
It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re deeply grateful to everyone who has welcomed us into their homes and shared their tables with us. Our 2026 travel calendar is already full, but we’re beginning to map out our 2027 destinations.
