About the Winery
Dr. Dave and Betsy Carroll bought their Coombsville property in 2013 and planted Carroll Family Vineyard in the summers of 2015 and 2016. Dr. Carroll is a local veterinarian and business owner who farms for quality, Erik Carroll oversees the viticulture and winemaking, and the vines are in the care of Grand Cru Vineyard Management.
The vineyard is two acres of Cabernet Sauvignon: one acre of clone 169 on 101-14 rootstock and one of clone 412 on 3309, on Coombsville loam with a split canopy and quad-cane pruning. The family makes one wine, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, fermenting the whole vineyard together to show the site and the season, then aging it 20 months in French oak, half of it new. The inaugural 2025 vintage is due for sale in late 2027.
There is no tasting room and no visiting program. To hear about the first release, sign up for the email list on the winery's website. The day below goes to three estates in Coombsville and along the Silverado Trail that do host.
Tasting Fees
Carroll Family Vineyard does not offer tastings. On the day below, the tasting fees are $150 at Palmaz, $80 at Darioush and $60 at Pine Ridge, about $290 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.

10:00 · Pickup at Silverado Resort or Milliken Creek Inn
Since Carroll Family Vineyard does not host visitors, this day takes you to three sought-after estates nearby that do. Silverado Resort, at the foot of Atlas Peak, is about 12 minutes from the first stop, and Milliken Creek Inn, on the Napa River, about 15. The day runs about six and a half hours, and extra time can be added by the hour.
10:15 · Palmaz Vineyards
About 12 minutes away. A family estate in Coombsville with a cave winery built 18 stories into Mount George; the visit includes a cave tour and paired bites. The Portfolio Tasting is $150 per person, about two hours. By appointment only, with visit times from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
12:30 · Lunch at Kitchen Door
About 15 minutes away. Handmade, globally inspired comfort food with a big patio, at 1300 First Street in downtown Napa. 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.
1:55 · Darioush
About 10 minutes away. A winery inspired by ancient Persepolis on the Silverado Trail. The Signature Tasting is $80, about an hour, by prepaid reservation; open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
3:05 · Pine Ridge Vineyards
About 10 minutes away. Stags Leap District Cabernet tasted in caves 130 feet underground. The Estate Tasting is $60, about an hour; open daily 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with reservations strongly encouraged.
4:05 · Back to your hotel
Back by about 4:30 p.m., about six and a half hours after pickup.
About $290 per person in tasting fees for the three wineries, paid directly to each winery.
All three wineries host daily, so this day works any day of the week. Palmaz is by appointment only and sets its own visit times between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., so the order may shift once it confirms.
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.
