Harvest is here. Pickers snip the purple bunches in the cool dark before dawn. The Home Ranch is humming around the clock as the fruit comes in. September is when all of our patient work in our vineyards pays off, and we kick off the season with our Luminary Harvest Weekend.

There is no better time to visit. Hop in our our Lexus LX 600 to see Trailside Vineyard in style, in our Rutherford Legacy tour. Reservations for this 2-3 hour tour are understandably limited.

2021 is the kind of pitch-perfect vintage that doesn't come along very often. Our Winemaker Brittany Sherwood describes how it all fell into place.

Guests can taste all of our 2021 single-vineyard wines, including the 100-point 2021 Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, when they book The Single-Vineyard Legacy at our Salon in St. Helena.

We wanted to extend a special word of thanks to Wine Spectator Grand Award Winner Spago Beverly Hills for featuring our Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon and our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.⁠
⁠
Other Grand Award winners have welcomed our wines on to their lists recently, notably Sierra Mar in Big Sur, the legendary Bern's in Tampa, and The Little Nell in Aspen. We are honored and grateful.

Summer at Heitz means harvest preparations are beginning. While our viticultural team monitors every vineyard's progress, you can witness this unforgettable season firsthand at our Home Ranch in St. Helena.

There's no better destination in the valley for classically-proportioned, ageworthy Cabernet Sauvignon, with a tasting program curated by a Master Sommelier.

We'd love to make some new summer memories with you. Seats fill up quickly this time of year, but you may reserve them at https://heitzcellar.com/visit/heitz-cellar-salon/.

Veraison, the change in grapes' color from green to purple, has started at our Spring Valley Vineyard in St. Helena. It is about 20-30% complete. ⁠
⁠
This is also the time of year where we meet in the vineyard to discuss a thinning plan, and we begin green harvesting to focus the plants' energy on fewer bunches. This improves concentration, ensures even ripening, and hastens harvest, which should begin in early September.

Blending is one of the most fascinating parts of a winemaker’s job. Later this month, you can experience it for yourself. We call it our Blending Masterclass.⁠
⁠
On Sunday, July 28, you can step into the role of winemaker and discover the art behind one of Napa Valley’s most storied wines. In this hands-on seminar at our Home Ranch, you’ll taste the single-vineyard components that form our celebrated Lot C-91, then craft your own blend, guided by our winemaking team. It’s an unforgettable opportunity to deepen your understanding of Napa Valley terroir—and to create a wine that’s uniquely your own.⁠
⁠
We can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Napa Valley. Head to https://heitzcellar.com/events/ to learn more.

We loved reading Joe Heitz's newsletter from the fall of 1983, and seeing how he sold wine to his mailing list 43 years ago.

As you can tell from the first paragraph, it's all about the facts. Adjectives are scarce and simple when you find them.

And hot takes like this one leave no doubt about authorship: "The rage lately seems to be to talk how well one's wine goes with food. (What else was it ever meant for?)"⁠

As we prepare our offer of the 2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, we're inspired by this rallying cry.

This July, visitors to Heitz Cellar will get to experience our lauded 2021 vintage single vineyard wines.

They're just hitting their stride and we're so thrilled that our Salon and Home Ranch will be the first place you get to taste them, at last.

Summertime is the optimal time to visit Heitz, but reservations do fill up quickly. See https://heitzcellar.com/visit/ to reserve your seats.

Mountain hillsides impart such unmistakable signatures on their Cabernet Sauvignons. Join us this weekend at The Home Ranch to learn why, and how.

This Sunday at 10am, Heitz Estate Director and Master Sommelier Erik Elliott will lead a thoughtful exploration of Napa Valley's Mountain terroirs, through the lens of Heitz Cellar, Stony Hill, and Ink Grade. You'll compare the wines of the Mayacamas Range (Spring Mountain) and the Vaca Range (Howell Mountain), accompanied by winemakers as your guides.

Mark your calendars for this Sunday, June 14th.

We're honored to participate in the 2026 Taste of Oakville, a grand tasting of Napa Valley's most prestigious Sub-AVA, being held at the newly-remodeled Robert Mondavi Winery.
