About the Winery
Majuscule started in 2009 as a side project between Jeff Davis and winemaker Greg Brickey, after a chance introduction to Lisa Chu, a grower on Mount Veeder, who offered them a ton each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The first vintage was just 25 cases of each. In 2018 it became an official winery, rooted in Lisa's two vineyards on the mountain.
The name is the opposite of minuscule: in French, a capital letter. Greg, a former structural engineer who studied winemaking at UC Davis, makes single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc and Bordeaux-style blends from steep volcanic slopes on Mount Veeder, often fewer than 100 cases per wine and about 600 cases a year in all. Jeff, who came from public relations, looks after guests.
Visits are few and personal. Jeff and Greg host a limited number of private tastings in Napa each year, and from late spring to early fall a Seasonal Vineyard Walk lets you taste among the vines of the home vineyard on Mount Veeder. Wine club members get first choice of dates, so we ask early and work around the owners' schedule.

A Suggested Six-Hour Day

10:00 · Pickup at Archer Hotel Napa or Carneros Resort and Spa
Majuscule sets the place for each private tasting when it is booked, so the drive to the first stop depends on where Jeff and Greg host you. The day below runs about six and a half hours, and extra time can be added by the hour.
10:30 · Majuscule Wine
A private tasting with the owners, or the Seasonal Vineyard Walk on Mount Veeder from late spring to early fall. We plan about 90 minutes; the place and any fee are confirmed by the winery.
12:20 · Yates Family Vineyard
About 20 minutes away. Steep Mount Veeder terraces above 1,200 feet, farmed by the Yates family since 1949. A private visit arranged with the family; we plan about 75 minutes, and any fee is confirmed when the visit is set.
1:55 · Lunch at Angèle
About 20 minutes away. Lunch at Angèle, a French brasserie on the Napa River in downtown Napa, serving lunch daily from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Prefer a picnic? We can arrange a catered picnic at a winery that allows one; the cost is quoted when you book.
3:10 · Farella Vineyard
About 12 minutes away. A small family estate in the hills east of Napa, whose winemaker wrote the petition for the Coombsville appellation. A private tasting of estate wines, one party at a time ($50); we allow about an hour. Monday to Friday, by appointment.
4:10 · Back to your hotel
Back by about 4:30 p.m., about six and a half hours after pickup.
About $50 per person in tasting fees for Farella, plus the fees for Majuscule and Yates (confirmed when we book), paid directly to each winery.
Majuscule offers only a limited number of private tastings, and Farella hosts Monday to Friday, so we build this day around the date the owners can host.
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.
