50 Years ago today, the world of fine wine, and the destiny of the Napa Valley, changed forever.⁠
⁠
We are immensely proud of the role that Joe Heitz, and his 1970 Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, played in the 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting. ⁠
⁠
Tonight we'll raise a glass to the pioneering families who came before us, who showed everyone that day that Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon could stand with the very best wines in the world.

About to burst forth into their 24th year, the vines in our prized Linda Falls Vineyard are surrounded by redwoods and madrones, not far from the picturesque Linda Falls Preserve and Waterfall.

The last vineyard we pick, its tiny berries transmit the forested beauty of Howell Mountain in a perfumed, elegant package, blooming from the glass with notes of musky black cherry and blackcurrant, and the unmistakable highland chaparral note we love about this AVA.

The Home Ranch is a place to taste and imagine what it was like to share wine among the pioneers who shaped the Valley’s golden age. ⁠
⁠
Here you can enjoy Heitz signature tastings: The Home Ranch Legacy and Martha’s Vineyard Legacy at The Home Ranch. You can also book exclusive new tasting experiences at our sister wineries Ink Grade and Haynes Vineyard as well. We can't wait to host you this Spring and Summer.

A lot has changed in 60 years, but the greatest, most immutable terroirs still announce themselves clear as a bell.

In the fall of 1966, Joe Heitz was likely tasting a new wine off the press when he was struck with an epiphany. This prime parcel in the heart of western Oakville—in between what are today known as Harlan Estate and To Kalon—deserved to be bottled on its own. Thus Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon was born: America's first single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.

Luminary Napa Valley, a private lifestyle club, was founded by six historic wineries to celebrate the beauty and bounty of our home and the “luminaries” that came before us.

Our annual Luminary Harvest Weekend brings this idea to life with like-minded wine connoisseurs who gather for three days of feasting, tasting, and learning, culminating in our legendary La Paulée celebration.

A limited number of tickets are available. For more information, email [email protected] or see the link in our bio.

We extend a big thanks to our friends at Lexus () for helping us bring this celebration to life.

The Napa Valley’s most exclusive and decadent harvest celebration is coming back this summer.

In the raucous spirit of Burgundy's La Paulée—a harvest celebration that began in medieval times—Heitz Cellar, Stony Hill, Burgess, Ink Grade, Haynes Vineyard, and Trailside Vineyard will come together on Saturday September 5th to host a special dinner at The Home Ranch at Heitz Cellar.

Dinner will be prepared by Top Chef star S***a Nakajima of Seattle. Guests will have the chance to preview the 2022 vintage and enjoy library wines inside the 1898 Stone Cellar.

We can't wait to see you there and celebrate together. To learn more or reserve your seat, email [email protected] or head to https://www.luminarynapavalley.com/2026-harvest-celebration-weekend

We're so grateful for the ongoing support from world-class, Michelin-starred restaurants that recognize our commitment to classic winemaking.⁠

Between Rutherford's 1-star Auberge du Soleil, Sonoma's 2-Star phenomenon, Enclos, and the legendarily wine-savvy (and Bib Gourmand) Sushi Ran in Sausalito, we are on a hot streak with exactly the kinds of places where we love to dine.

Springtime at Heitz finds our vineyards in a vibrant green bloom, growing at a breakneck pace. While our vineyard team monitors every site's progress, you've got a front-row seat in our Salon in St. Helena.

We are now accepting reservations through the Spring Season and look forward to welcoming guests. Fun fact: our tasting program is curated by a Master Sommelier who also has the habit of cracking 40-year old bottles on the weekend for a special surprise pour.

You can make your reservations on our website, or by emailing [email protected].

It's 1964. Joe and Alice Heitz are looking out the front door of their 1870s-era farmhouse at the old Rossi ghost winery across the way. Their new keys in hand, a sense of exhilaration comes over them, at the possibility that lays ahead for their young winery.

We feel the same sense of anticipation as we introduce an entirely new experience here at the end of Taplin Road, coming this month.

A private tour of the gentle slope of Trailside Vineyard is the perfect capstone to your visit to Napa Valley this season.
⁠
When you book our Rutherford Legacy tasting, you'll be treated to the magic of Rutherford's east side, with a ride in our Lexus RZ 450e in an exhilarating 3-hour private tour and tasting.

After basking in vineyard views, you'll savor a vertical tasting of our Trailside Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, and get to know this terroir even more intimately—over the horizon of time—in the cool sanctuary of The Salon at Heitz Cellar.
