About the Winery
Mark Aubert grew up in nearby St. Helena with farming in his blood, and he and his wife Teresa founded Aubert Wines in the late 1990s. Before that he made his name as a winemaker for others, including as head winemaker at Peter Michael. Since 2010 the winery has been on the Silverado Trail just outside downtown Calistoga, in the Calistoga AVA.
Aubert makes only Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, including single-vineyard bottlings such as Hudson, Larry Hyde & Sons, UV-SL, Lauren, Eastside and CIX. Mark describes his approach as minimal intervention guided by the farming. The wines are sold through a mailing list, with a waiting list to join.
Visits happen in The Tasting Salon, as a winery tour and tasting. Members sign in to request an appointment, and anyone else signs up for the waiting list to make a request; priority goes to actively purchasing members. Once Aubert confirms a time, we drive you there and build the rest of the day around it.
Tasting Fees
Tasting fees to be verified upon reservation. Aubert does not publish a fee for the Winery Tour & Tasting.
Tasting fees as of September 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 Indian Springs or Dr. Wilkinson's. Aubert sets appointment times, so the start may move once the winery confirms.
10:00 · Pickup at Indian Springs or Dr. Wilkinson's
Both are in downtown Calistoga, about 5 minutes from the winery: Indian Springs, the historic hot springs resort, and Dr. Wilkinson's, the mud bath resort on Lincoln Avenue. The day below fits a six-hour tour on a weekday, and extra time can be added by the hour.
10:15 · Aubert Wines
A Winery Tour & Tasting in The Tasting Salon, at the time Aubert confirms. The length is not published; we allow about an hour and a quarter.
11:45 · Theorem Vineyards
About 12 minutes away. A restored 19th-century homestead on Diamond Mountain making single-vineyard, single-varietal wines. The private estate tasting includes a walk of the historic farmstead and a chef-crafted cheese and charcuterie plate; we allow about 75 minutes. Tasting fees to be verified upon reservation. By appointment only.
1:15 · Lunch at The Charter Oak
About 15 minutes away. Lunch at The Charter Oak at the south end of St. Helena, Christopher and Martina Kostow's family-style New American restaurant, open daily for lunch. Prefer a picnic? We can arrange a catered picnic at a winery that allows one; the cost is quoted when you book.
2:30 · Crocker & Starr
About 8 minutes away. A small St. Helena estate where the visit starts with a glass of sparkling wine and a walk into the vineyard, then a seated tasting under the Garden Arbor. The Estate Vineyard Experience is $95, about 75 minutes, for groups of up to 6. By reservation.
3:45 · Back to your hotel
Back by about 4:05 p.m., about six hours after pickup.
Optional: Lawer Estates
Adds about an hour. The Lawer family pours its Knights Valley estate wines at Eight North, its restaurant and tasting room on Lincoln Avenue in downtown Calistoga. Walk-ins are welcome; the Lawer Estates Wine Flight of four wines is $45. Open Thursday to Monday from 11 a.m. into the evening; closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
About $95 per person for Crocker & Starr, plus the fees for Aubert and Theorem, which are confirmed when we book. Fees are paid directly to each winery.
Aubert's appointments are set on weekdays, so plan this day Monday to Friday. Lawer Estates' tasting room is closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
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.
