Founders Wine Tasting Experience – Spring Mountain Vineyard

A Conversation Across Three Decades of Legacy

For over a century and a half, Cabernet Sauvignon has been cultivated on our mountainside slopes, beginning with our founder, Charles Lemme. Over time, this varietal has achieved a pedigree native to this special place, with a profile that is both decadent and distinctive. This private tasting invites you to take part in that history by delving into one of the deepest and most prestigious library collections in Napa Valley.

After an intimate, guided tour of the estate’s 19th-century architecture and historic Miravalle Mansion, you will journey through a flight of wines sourced from three distinct decades. It is a rare opportunity to witness firsthand how our mountain fruit ages with unparalleled grace and complexity, offering a vertical narrative that few estates in the world can replicate.

Wonderful wine tasting experience! So informative as well as intimate and personalized! Tasted (and purchased!) some very special wines aged to perfection. Beautiful location! - Pete Pasc

Great day – superb host and what a fantastic selection of wine – I believe some of the best in the Valley – do not miss Spring Mountain Vineyard – the history may surprise you as well 🙂 - Michael Hinz

Wonderful experience and beautiful location. The whole experience was perfect, and our Ambassador, Gabe, was great. It was the first wine tasting where we started with library wines, and the rest just got better. Would highly recommend. - Steve Robinson

One of the best wine tasting experiences I've had in my adult life. Informative, fun, and some crazy good wines including a '79, '88, '98, and two 2001s! - Randy McDonald
