St. Helena in the Napa Valley is home to
several Bed & Breakfast inns popular
with adults visiting and planning to do
some wine tasting in the region. In St.
Helena, itself, there are excellent wineries such
as Hall Wines, a LEED® Gold certified
winery. Hall Winery was founded in 1885
as the Napa Valley Co-op as one of the
primary winemaking facilities in Napa
for much of the last century.
Hall welcomes guests to its visitor
center and tasting room where you can
sample the portfolio of HALL wines,
relax in arbor-covered courtyards, and
take in the original works of modern art
and sculptures from the Halls' personal
collection. The winery is located just
south of the town of St. Helena on Route
29 and is open daily for public visits,
tastings and tours.
Production Tours offer an overview of
our the vineyard, winemaking and provide
a barrel taste of some future vintage of
Estate Cabernet. The tour concludes with
a tasting of Estate Wines in our Artisan
Salon. The tour takes around 90 minutes.
