At the valley’s westernmost edge, where sloping vineyards meet wooded hillsides, Tres Sabores is a portal to old Napa – no fancy tasting room, no snobbery, just great wine in a spectacular setting. Bucking the cabernet custom, Tres Sabores crafts elegantly structured, Burgundian-style zinfandel, and spritely sauvignon blanc, which the New York Times dubbed a Top 10 of its kind in California. Reservations essential.
Guinea fowl and sheep control pests on the 35-acre estate, while golden labs chase butterflies through gnarled old vines. After your tour, linger at olive-shaded picnic tables and drink in gorgeous valley views. Bottles cost $22 to $80.
