This is the most amazing and unique winery in Napa! Built into the side of a mountain, you are immediately struck by the topography and views on the way up to the Jarvis Estate entrance. As you drive onto the property, two flowering lily-pad, frog-filled ponds, bridges, stunning yard art, sitting areas and the cave entrance provide beautiful curb appeal and excitement. When you enter through the large front doors, the coolness of the cave provides refreshing relief from the dry hot Napa temps. We were immediately offered water and one of the staff volunteered to help another couple find a great place to eat in the area. The small on-site staff is very friendly and customer oriented. There is no "hard sell" and a waitlist to join their Members Club. The tour was so interesting showing each step of the winemaking process from the minute the grapes come into the cave until they are bottled and sealed. Britton was the perfect host and tour guide with so much great information about the history of the winery and of Napa itself. We had 7 tastings with cheese, crackers, dried fruit, nuts and water provided as a palette cleanser on a gorgeous marble table set beautifully in a tasting room. The water features, barrels, Crystal room and and theater space make this our favorite place in Napa. We would do this tour again with our family!

Jarvis was a fabulous surprise! This very elite, low-volume winery has one of the most beautiful underground interiors we've seen...amazing signature arched doors, elegant tasting room, and super-knowledgeable, engaging sommelier Rene. The wine was exceptional and we ordered lots for back at home. This winery may not be on your radar but do yourself a favor and visit....you'll be happy you did!

Very interesting winery located all underground in caves. Beautiful decor. Informative enough tour though a little thin on actual wine making specifics. Wines that are offered for tasting are all good though very pricey. Tasting prices also at high end
