Provenance Vineyards

Situated in Rutherford, Provenance specializes in small-lot Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc wines that showcase the unique personalities of their respective vineyards. Visit us and taste our handcrafted wines on our beautiful patio with a view of the surrounding Napa Valley.

Our philosophy focuses on the importance of discovering vineyards that showcase unique provenance—origin or source—that will define the quality and character of their resulting wines. We reveal the wines’ terroir—soils, microclimates and exposures—as aromas, flavors and textures.

Our inaugural release of 1999 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon established Provenance as a Napa Valley Cabernet House, but the winery’s character was defined in 2003. After a few fine-but-not-amazing vintages of Estate Cabernet, we decided to pull out the vines… without our investors’ permission. In their place, we planted Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, rarities amongst the sea of Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards. Due to the unique soil of our Estate, these varietals thrived. This willingness to break the rules in the spirit of great winemaking is what defines Provenance Vineyards.

At Provenance, we believe that the land is at the root of great wine. That’s why it’s so important we act as its steward at all times.
