Established in 1991, Bell Wine Cellars is a small, family owned winery committed to hand-crafting limited edition bottlings of extraordinary wines that best reflect the terroir of their vineyards and the care and passion of their growers. You will find us less than a mile south of Yountville on Washington Street, in an exquisite pale stone winery, shrouded by oak, surrounded by vineyard and cloaked in quiet. In 1998, winemaker Anthony Bell opened his doors to the public, having found the perfect place to produce the wines he had long dreamed of - limited production, hand crafted wines that showcase the concept of "terroir" and the expressions of the different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon. Our current winemaker, John Hazak, recently joined Bell Wine Cellars in February of 2020. His previous experiences paved the way to Bell, where founder and winemaker Anthony Bell had recently retired. John hopes to honor Anthony’s vision of craft winemaking and constant improvement, while starting a new chapter with this team.

We are a working winery, where guests can taste our signature wines at the intimate, elegant tasting bar nestled between towering steel tanks. We also host more extensive and educational tastings in our lovely, glass enclosed reserve room overlooking the fragrant oak barrels cradling our maturing wine. During much of the year, our spacious patio is also open for tasting appointments, under the arbor as the sun slowly arcs toward the Mayacamas mountains to the west.

If you enjoy Cabernet, you'll enjoy Bell. We make six different Cabernets as well as Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot and Syrah; total production is under 15,000 cases annually. Come visit and taste what a globally educated winemaker with over 35 years of experience in Napa can produce. We guarantee you'll leave speaking Cabernet fluently, and with a smile.
