Welcome to Phifer Pavitt Vineyards + Winery — Where Purpose Meets Romance in Every Glass

At Phifer Pavitt, every detail tells a story—from the wines we craft to the walls that surround you. Founded by Suzanne Phifer Pavitt, whose Southern roots and bold spirit breathe life into everything we do, our winery is a true reflection of intention, heart, and sustainability.

Our iconic DATE NIGHT wines are the cornerstone of our philosophy—handcrafted for connection and meant to inspire moments that matter. Each bottle celebrates the ritual of slowing down and sharing something special, whether it's with your partner, your friends, or simply yourself.

Tucked away in the heart of Napa Valley, our barn-turned-tasting-room is an architectural love letter to thoughtful reuse. Originally built in the 19th century in Franz Valley, it was relocated to our estate piece by piece, re-milled, and re-imagined in 2005. Inside, you’ll find reclaimed Wyoming snow fencing, blue-jean insulation, and handcrafted light fixtures designed by Suzanne and built by Shane using hay-baling and hog wire found on the property.

Even the benches and tables carry history—salvaged wood from our neighbor Solage Resort, and beams and fixtures rescued from the original post office in Shane’s hometown of Manhattan Beach. At the center of it all: a 2,000 lb slab of century-old black walnut suspended from the ceiling as our tasting bar—anchored by a live oak branch still flourishing with lichen to this day.

Though we’re open by appointment only, we welcome new friends and neighbors with open arms. If you value sustainability, storytelling, and small-lot Napa wines that stir the soul—we’d love to host you for a tasting that’s anything but ordinary.
