Unapologetically bold, Lewis Cellars is a luxury Napa Valley winery specializing in big reds and sexy chardonnays. The winery emphasizes the importance of the journey from grape to glass, crafting world-class wines that are unmistakably Lewis. Offering more than 30 years of excellence, Lewis Cellars captures the attention of in-the-know wine connoisseurs, having been named Wine Spectator’s Wine of the Year in 2016 for its Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from some of the finest Napa Valley vineyards, the portfolio centers on rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignons and Chardonnays, and features Merlot, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, and red blends.  

Lewis recently opened its new Napa Valley tasting room in the historic Stags Leap District on Silverado Trail, offering world-class wine tasting experiences, picturesque views, and curated art. The new home brings Lewis Cellars full circle, as the site at 6320 Silverado Trail is where the first vintage of Lewis was crushed, fermented, and bottled more than 30 years ago.
