About the Winery
Dr. Jan Krupp spent years honing his winemaking while running a busy medical practice in the Bay Area, then moved to Napa in 1991. With help from his brother Bart, he turned rugged land into what is now the Stagecoach Vineyard, and in 1999 the brothers released their first Krupp Brothers wine, a Cabernet Sauvignon.
Stagecoach rises to 1,900 feet in red, rocky volcanic soil, and the winery calls its fruit some of the most coveted in Napa Valley. From it the brothers make mountain-grown Chardonnay and Cabernets, Syrah and a Tempranillo blend. The winery sits at the foot of the Vaca Mountains just off the Silverado Trail, only a few minutes from downtown Napa.
At the estate, the Estate Tasting is a customized flight of five wines paired with artisanal cheese and charcuterie, offered three times a day. Dogs are welcome if you tell the winery ahead, which guests traveling with a pup appreciate. On weekends a Chef's Tasting pairs a farm-to-table menu with limited-production wines for groups of 6 to 10.
Tasting Fees
$75 for the Estate Tasting, five wines with cheese and charcuterie (daily at 10 a.m., 12:30 and 3 p.m.). $175 for the Chef's Tasting, a farm-to-table menu paired with limited-production wines (Friday to Sunday at 12:30 and 3 p.m., groups of 6 to 10). At the downtown tasting room: $45 for the Signature Tasting and $75 for the Reserve Tasting, each four wines with bites.
