About Us
Established in 1982, Etude’s founding philosophy is that winemaking begins in the vineyard long before the harvest and that inspired grape growing diminishes the need for intervention by the winemaker, resulting in an authentic expression of the varietal. This philosophy is brought to life on the Etude Estate Vineyards, tucked away in the far northwest corner of the esteemed Carneros Appellation, close to the elegant state-of-the art winery and tasting room. Etude’s celebrated Pinot Noirs and its small production of sparkling Blanc de Noirs, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Rosé of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are vinified from grapes grown on the Estate while the opulent Cabernet Sauvignon is from vineyards in the prime Cabernet zone, representing the major benchland sub-appellations of Napa Valley – Oakville, Rutherford, St. Helena, Coombsville, and Calistoga. The consistent high quality of the grapes Etude grows and sources, combined with the skill and experience of the winemaking team, explains why Etude is recognized as one of America’s premier artisan wineries.

TERROIR TASTING EXPERIENCE - a seated tasting of 5 wines, $60 per guest ($20 per club member)
Our Terroir Tasting is a deep dive into the clarity and expression of a single grape varietal from its precise place of origin, or its "terroir", illustrated by our winery-exclusive single-vineyard Pinot Noirs and Cabernet Sauvignons. The Pinot Noirs feature selections from our portfolio of 10 vineyard designate Pinot Noirs from four regions across the cool Pacific Coast: Carneros, Sonoma Coast, Santa Rita Hills in Santa Barbara, and Willamette Valley in Oregon. Our highly-acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon features fruit from the most renowned vineyards in Napa Valley including two of our longest-running Cabernets from Morisoli Vineyard in Rutherford and Vine Hill Ranch in Oakville.
DISCOVER ETUDE - a casual tasting of 4 wines at the tasting room bar, $40 per guest (complimentary for wine club members up to a total of 4)
Our Discover Etude wine tasting covers a broader range of varietals and styles with fruity appeal which may include a white, rose, a classic Pinot Noir and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
PRIVATE TAILORED EXPERIENCE — a guided tasting of a customized flight selected by the guest, in one of two exclusive rooms, by prior appointment. $95 per guest ($50 per wine club member)
The Etude Wine Collection spans a range of classic, and legacy, Napa Valley Cabernet, as well as cool-climate, food-friendly Estate whites, quenching rosé and expressive Pinot Noirs. This private seated tasting is a customized selection from our broader, most exclusive portfolio and will appeal to guests who seek a wide variety of Napa Valley wines that are the finest examples in their class, who seek a deeper dive or simply a private setting with wines they love.
When booking your Private Tailored Experience reservation, indicate your interests and your host will contact you in advance to discuss the options such as The Study of Pinot Noir, for red wine lovers, the Best of Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon or a mixed flight of whites and reds.
