Vintner’s Collective – A great place to start your journey
Vintner’s Collective is located at 1245 Main Street in a historic landmark building (it used to be a brothel) in the town of Napa. This is off the main drags of Highway 29 or the Silverado Trail and is an excellent spot to taste some of the finest wines you’ll find in Napa Valley. Vintner’s Collective is a tasting room features wines from small producers that you will not find in most wine shops or restaurants. When they say “small producers” they are talking about production of 25 to 300 cases for a particular wine. During my visit they were pouring 96 wines from 21 different producers. A tasting flight will cost you $40 for any six wines on their list. The tasting room associates will put together a wonderful sampling of the wines based on your personal preferences.
They have an excellent wine club with six different membership levels:
- The Rendezvous
- The Bordello
- The Gentleman’s Cabernet Club
- The Madame
- The Red Light
- The Case Club
(As I mentioned earlier, the building used to be a brothel back in the day.)
