Welcome


Elizabeth Spencer Winery, nestled in Rutherford’s historic 1872 brick post‑office building, blends traditional Napa charm with refined hospitality. Guests enjoy intimate tastings of artisan varietals—Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Petite Sirah—from premier vineyards across Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Mendocino

The cozy tasting room opens to lush garden courtyards and seven private pavilions—the “Rutherford Green”—ideal for casual flights or reserved experiences. Highlighted experiences include cheese and chocolate pairings, blind tastings, and bottle service with Oakville Grocery offerings for a full sensory exploration.

Visitors praise the personalized service—“tasting garden was so pleasant and Kathy…made our experience so special”—making it a must‑visit Napa destination.
