About the Winery
Elleary comes from Shawn and Vivien and Karimi Family Vineyards. The couple met in 2007 knowing little about wine and wondering why people pay thousands of dollars for a bottle. After years of tasting across California's wine regions they studied winemaking at UC Davis, then created Elleary with the help of seasoned Napa Valley winemakers, aiming for high quality at a reasonable price.
Every grape comes from Napa Valley vineyards. The list is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon: Napa Valley vintages from 2016 through 2019, a 2019 Merlot, and 2021 member releases that include a Stags Leap Cabernet and a Yountville Cabernet. There is also an estate Chardonnay from the Los Altos Hills and a 2023 Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc. The website doubles as a wine school, with pages on terroir, barrel aging and food pairing.
Elleary sells online to California addresses, and members save 20% on every bottle. It lists a winery suite on Enterprise Court in Napa, and while a tasting room is mentioned on the site, no hours, location or booking are published, so it does not receive visitors. Since its newest Cabernets come from Stags Leap and Yountville, the day below starts and ends in Yountville.

10:15 · Addax Wines
About 5 minutes away. Russell Bevan's bold Oakville Cabernet and coastal Pinot Noir, poured at HQ Winery on Hoffman Lane just south of Yountville. Tastings are $75 to $200 depending on the experience; we plan about 75 minutes. By appointment, daily between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

About 20 minutes away. A family label pouring single-vineyard, single-variety wines from 15 of Napa Valley's sub-regions in a private estate tasting east of the city of Napa.

3:00 · Hill Family Estate
About 15 minutes away. A family-farmed winery pouring its own grapes in downtown Yountville. The seated Classic Wine Tasting is $40, waived with a $100 wine purchase; we allow about an hour. Walk-ins and appointments welcome, Thursday to Monday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
4:00 · Back to your hotel
Back by about 4:05 p.m., about six hours after pickup.
About $260 to $385 per person in tasting fees for the three wineries, paid directly to each winery.
The Vice hosts Tuesday to Saturday and Hill Family Estate Thursday to Monday, so plan this day for a Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Three wineries is the right pace for a day of serious tasting.
