Rombauer Vineyards
Koerner and Joan Rombauer founded this classic Napa Valley vineyard in 1982. The vineyard overlooks the valley from a lush little hilltop estate. The property houses a multitude of caves that extend deep into the hillside and are ideal for the Rombauer’s aging wines.
The Rombauer’s philosophy is one of hard work and simple pleasures. Whether selling their wines to fine restaurants worldwide or enjoying a glass at their own table their love of wine is apparent. Rombauer wines are hand crafted and blended to perfection so that every drop is one the Rombauer’s can be proud of. They produce several varietals from grapes grown in the hillside vineyards including Rombauer’s Carneros Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
