About the Winery
Dan Dexter and his wife Julie own AvinoDos, whose name means wines from two. Dan grew up working the farm fields of central Illinois that his family has tended since homesteading there in 1836, and he started AvinoDos in 2012. He is also the winemaker, and the winery says a visit has a good chance of landing you in real production: harvest, crush, bottling or a barrel tasting with Dan.
AvinoDos makes small lots of single-vineyard, single-varietal wines and buys only from small growers whose vineyards are 9 acres or less, so each bottle speaks for one farmer's site. The list runs from Los Carneros Blanc de Blancs and Blanc de Noir sparkling wines to Cabernet Sauvignon from the Stags Leap District and Diamond Mountain District, and the 2022 Blanc de Blancs won a platinum medal.
The winery is in the Crusher District, a business park in south Napa with about 20 small wineries, a few minutes from downtown. Every tasting pours five or more wines in the tasting room or the fountain courtyard, hosted by a wine educator, and includes a guided tour of the cellar and barrel room with the production team. Guests often meet the owners.

Good to Know
Tastings are for 1 to 8 guests and include a cellar and barrel room tour. The winery sits in a business park, so expect a working-winery setting rather than a vineyard estate.
A Suggested Six-Hour Day
Pickup at 10:00 a.m. from a nearby hotel such as Stanly Ranch or Carneros Resort and Spa.
10:00 · Pickup at Stanly Ranch or Carneros Resort and Spa
Stay close and the tasting starts right away. Stanly Ranch, an Auberge resort among the Carneros vineyards, is about 8 minutes from AvinoDos, and Carneros Resort and Spa about 12 minutes. The day below fits a six-hour tour, and extra time can be added by the hour.
10:15 · AvinoDos Wines
A Current Release or Library tasting with a cellar tour; we plan about 75 minutes. The fee is confirmed when we reserve.
11:45 · Truchard Vineyards
About 15 minutes away. A family estate of rolling Carneros hills between Napa and Sonoma, with an 11,000-square-foot wine cave added in 1998. The Vineyard Tour and Tasting walks the vines and caves for $55; we allow about 75 minutes. By reservation, Monday to Friday.
1:10 · Lunch at Boon Fly Café
About 8 minutes away. Lunch at Boon Fly Café at Carneros Resort, open daily with its brunch menu served from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Prefer a picnic? We can arrange a catered picnic at a winery that allows one; the cost is quoted when you book.
2:30 · Ashes & Diamonds
About 15 minutes away. A mid-century modern winery on Highway 29, designed by architect Barbara Bestor, with portholes and a zig-zag roof. The A&D Teaser, a guided tasting of three wines, is $55 and runs 45 to 60 minutes. By reservation; open daily from 11 a.m.
3:35 · Back to your hotel
Back by about 3:50 p.m., under six hours after pickup.
About $110 per person in tasting fees for Truchard and Ashes & Diamonds, plus the AvinoDos fee, confirmed when we reserve; each paid directly to the winery.
AvinoDos hosts Wednesday to Sunday and Truchard Monday to Friday, so this day works Wednesday to Friday.
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.

Why is AvinoDos in a business park?
