Priest Ranch is a storied Napa Valley property with roots dating back to 1869 when it was established by James Joshua Priest, a determined Gold Rush prospector. Fast forward to 2004, we united the historic Priest Ranch with the adjacent Elder Valley properties, creating the expansive Somerston Estate, now the home of our vineyards and winery.

Spanning 1,682 acres, our Estate boasts 244 acres of meticulously cultivated vineyards across 15 distinct areas. Nestled among three ridgelines and two valleys, Priest Ranch leverages its diverse landscape to produce wines of exceptional quality. By blending grapes from multiple blocks, we capture and showcase the unique characteristics of our property in every bottle.

Each vineyard block is attentively managed to bring out the best in each grape varietal, ensuring that our multi-block wines embody the highest representation of Priest Ranch’s rich heritage and distinctive terroir.

Our tasting room is nestled in the heart of Napa Valley in Yountville, open daily from 10 am – 6 pm, with various wine & food pairing experiences, by the bottle, and by the glass options. In 2023, we elevated our tasting room experience by introducing The Kitchen at Priest Ranch next door. This addition brings a new level of culinary expertise, offering perfect pairings and innovative dishes that create a memorable and sophisticated gastronomic journey. Priest Ranch is more than just a winery; it’s a destination for food and wine enthusiasts seeking diverse experiences. From uncommon varietals like Grenache Blanc to classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, each wine showcases the extraordinary elegance and quality of our Somerston Estate. Join us to discover the unique expression of our wines, enriched by exceptional culinary artistry.
