About the Winery
Beaucanon Estate belongs to the de Coninck family of St. Emilion, whose Bordeaux holdings have included Chateaux Canon, Bellevue and Junayme. Jacques de Coninck came to Napa Valley from Bordeaux in 1978 to look for vineyard land, and the family built its first winery just outside St. Helena in 1987. Today his son Louis de Coninck, trained in Saint Emilion from the age of 18, makes the wines.
The home of the winery is the Longwood Ranch, 94 organically farmed acres a stone's throw from the southeastern end of the Oak Knoll District. It is planted mostly to the Bordeaux grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec, with Sauvignon Blanc and a little Chardonnay. The wines are made in a historic barn on the ranch, fitted out as a working winery that produces about 12,000 cases a year.
Visits are by appointment only, requested through the winery's website with a specific date and time in mind. It is a small, family-run place rather than a polished visitor center, which is part of the appeal for guests who like to taste where the wine is made. We make the request for you and confirm the details when we book.

A Suggested Six-Hour Day

Both hotels are on First Street in downtown Napa, about 10 minutes from the Longwood Ranch on Monticello Road. The day stays on the quiet south end of the Silverado Trail, so there is little driving between stops.
10:15 · Beaucanon Estate

11:40 · Reynolds Family Winery
About 10 minutes away. A family winery on a former chicken farm on the Silverado Trail, with seated tastings on a terrace by a spring-fed pond. The Estate Tasting of four core wines with charcuterie is $50, about an hour, by appointment.
12:55 · Lunch at Bistro Don Giovanni
About 10 minutes away. A Napa favorite for more than 30 years, serving Italian dishes built around its own culinary garden, among the vineyards just north of town. We confirm hours and reserve a table 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.
2:25 · Darioush
About 10 minutes away. A winery inspired by ancient Persepolis on the Silverado Trail. The Estate Bar Tasting is $60 for about 45 minutes, and the seated Signature Tasting is $80 for an hour.

About $110 per person in tasting fees at Reynolds Family Winery and Darioush, plus the Beaucanon Estate fee, which we confirm when we book. Fees are paid directly to each winery.
Beaucanon, Reynolds and Darioush all receive guests seven days a week, so the day above works on any day. Beaucanon is by appointment only, and we confirm its time first and build the rest of the day around it.
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.
