St. Supéry is a family-owned estate winery in the heart of Napa Valley, recognized for outstanding Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and élu & Virtú blends. Visit the estate vineyards surrounding the winery in Rutherford - a famous appellation for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The Dollarhide estate is a valley within Napa Valley where our other vineyards grow in harmony with the natural surroundings.
Two vineyards - one in Rutherford at the heart of Napa Valley's Cabernet Sauvignon country, the other, Dollarhide, in a serene corner of Napa Valley - are the source of St. Supéry wines, most notably, celebrated Cabernet Sauvignons and Sauvignon Blanc.
St. Supery Vineyards & Winery is owned by the Skalli family of France. Robert Skalli's family has made wine for several generations in South of France. While traveling in Napa Valley during the 1970s, Robert was inspired to create an estate winery in Napa Valley to make wines of distinct and respectable character. Dollarhide, an historic cattle and horse ranch nestled among the hills of Napa Valley, was planted with the noble grape varieties of Bordeaux, France in the early 1980s. St. Supéry's Rutherford property became the home of the winery and first class Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards.
Today St. Supéry wines are enjoyed by people around the world in fine restaurants and during celebrations at home. The winery is a respected member of the Napa Valley vintner community and is a responsible steward of the 1500+ acres we own in this appellation known to be among the finest wine regions in the world.
St. Supéry is a "super" place to visit, offering many diversions. You can choose between a basic tasting at the spacious ground floor bar and/or the Reserve tasting in a luxuriously-decorated room on the second floor. You can take a self-guided tour (be sure to ask for a map); learn about aroma and other aspects of wine in the free education center; walk through the vineyards in front of the property; enjoy the gardens in season; and tour the barrel room. In addition, every few months a new art exhibit goes on display.

We've all done the wine thing, but without taking a wine class or reading a book, how much do we really know about how to describe what we're drinking?
