About the Winery
Art Nouveau is the own label of Julie Lumgair, a Napa Valley consulting winemaker and fifth-generation family farmer. Her winemaking spans twenty-two vintages and 26 varieties from ten Napa Valley AVAs, Italy and Sonoma, and the winery says more than 100 of her wines have scored 90 points or more, with notice as a Wine Spectator "Producer to Watch."
The wines are small, single-vineyard lots from sustainably and organically farmed sites: a 2021 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from the Money Road, Rodeno Vineyard in Oakville, a 2023 Reserve Cabernet from a 125-year-old single vineyard in Rutherford, a 2024 Reserve Malbec from a mountain block in Alexander Valley, and two 2025 Rutherford benchland whites, a Sauvignon Blanc and a Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon blend. They come in 397-gram bottles, some of the lightest glass available, sealed with Orgine natural corks. Prices run from $35 to $89.
There is no tasting room. The wines are sold online and directly from Julie, whose contact form takes questions about purchases and private tastings. The day below goes to three Rutherford estates that do host.
Tasting Fees
Art Nouveau does not offer public tastings and publishes no tasting fee. On the day below, the tasting fees are $60 at Grgich Hills, $50 at Frog's Leap and $100 at Inglenook, about $210 per person in all, paid directly to each winery.
Tasting fees as of October 2026. Wineries set and collect their own fees, and they change from time to time.

A Suggested Six-Hour Day
Pickup at 10:00 a.m. from a nearby hotel such as Rancho Caymus Inn or Harvest Inn.
10:00 · Pickup at Rancho Caymus Inn or Harvest Inn
Since Art Nouveau does not host visitors, this day takes you to three sought-after estates nearby that do. Rancho Caymus Inn, in Rutherford, is about 5 minutes from the first stop, and Harvest Inn, at the south end of St. Helena, about 10. The day runs about six hours, and extra time can be added by the hour.
10:10 · Grgich Hills Estate
About 5 minutes away. Founded by the winemaker behind the Judgment of Paris Chardonnay, and farmed organically. Miljenko's Tasting is $60, about 90 minutes, by reservation; open daily from 9:30 a.m.
11:55 · Frog's Leap
About 5 minutes away. A relaxed, organic, dry-farmed winery around a red barn in Rutherford. The garden tasting is $50; we allow about an hour. By appointment, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Wednesdays.
1:10 · Lunch at Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch
About 10 minutes away. Farm-to-table cooking at the south end of St. Helena, with produce, beef and olive oil from Long Meadow Ranch. We confirm hours when we book. Prefer a picnic? We can arrange a catered picnic at a winery that allows one; the cost is quoted when you book.
2:35 · Inglenook
About 10 minutes away. The historic Rutherford château reunited by Francis Ford Coppola, home of Rubicon. The Legacy Tasting is $100, about an hour, by reservation; it is not offered on Tuesdays.
3:35 · Back to your hotel
Back by about 3:50 p.m., about six hours after pickup.
About $210 per person in tasting fees for the three wineries, paid directly to each winery.
Frog's Leap is closed Wednesdays and Inglenook's Legacy Tasting is not offered on Tuesdays, so plan this day for Thursday to Monday. Three wineries is the right pace for a day of serious tasting.
Every tour is custom. This day is a starting point: your chauffeur will shape it around what matters to you, and we plan multi-day tours for guests who want to see more of wine country.
