About the Winery
PerUs was founded by a group of friends led by Anmol Bhandari, who believed life is measured by friends, family and shared memories rather than possessions. The wine is made by Russell Bevan, a former Wine Spectator columnist turned winemaker whose wines have earned perfect scores from Robert Parker. The team around the label includes Master Sommeliers Dustin Wilson and Willi Sherer.
The wines are sold by allocation, and the allocation is by invitation only, extended to people who share the founders' view of a full, well-lived life. PerUs sources from vineyards around Napa Valley and makes its wines at Tench Vineyard, in the heart of Oakville along the Silverado Trail, inside the Oakville AVA.
Visits are private and by request. The team guides you through a multi-vintage lineup of PerUs wines with a cheese and charcuterie board paired to them, for parties of one to eight, at times between noon and 7 p.m. Requests are limited, and the team calls personally to arrange each one, so we send the request well ahead.
Tasting Fees
Tasting fees to be verified upon reservation. The private tasting includes a paired cheese and charcuterie board.
Tasting fees as of September 2026. Wineries set and collect their own fees, and they change from time to time.

11:00 · Paradigm Winery
About 10 minutes away. Ren and Marilyn Harris's 55-acre family estate in west Oakville, which makes wine only from its own fruit; Heidi Barrett was the founding winemaker. A private visit and tasting by appointment; we plan about an hour, and the format and any fee are confirmed by the winery.
12:15 · Lunch at Rutherford Grill
About 8 minutes away. Lunch at Rutherford Grill at the Rutherford crossroads, a sit-down grill open daily. Prefer a picnic? We can arrange a catered picnic at a winery that allows one; the cost is quoted when you book.

About 8 minutes away. The private multi-vintage tasting at Tench Vineyard with paired cheese and charcuterie. We plan about 90 minutes; the time and fee are confirmed by the PerUs team.

About $60 per person in tasting fees for Hestan, plus the fees for PerUs and Paradigm (confirmed when we book), paid directly to each winery.
PerUs tastings are held between noon and 7 p.m., so the PerUs visit is in the early afternoon and the featured tasting is not the first stop.
