About the Winery
Prinsley is the family-owned, women-owned wine and hospitality company of Kim Ilsley Prince and Rea Prince, founded in 2019 shortly after they married; the name joins Ilsley and Prince. Kim is a fourth-generation Napa Valley native from a grape-growing family with roots in Yountville and the Stags Leap District, and leads the company's creative direction, hospitality and gifting. Rea, the winemaker, trained and worked in Italy, France, Israel, New Zealand and California, and works in regenerative viticulture and soil biology.
The first wine came from Lovers Lane in Yountville. Since then Prinsley has sourced from vineyards across Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, favoring organically and regeneratively farmed fruit and a light hand in the cellar. Current releases include a 2023 Grenache from the Emmitt-Scorsone Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley, fermented with native yeasts and aged in neutral French oak ($74), and Pinot Noir and Rosé of Syrah from Alder Springs Vineyard in Mendocino County. In 2026 Prinsley begins making wine from Kim's grandmother's Yountville vineyard for the first time.
Prinsley does not operate a public tasting room. The wines are sold through the online shop and the Prinsley Wine Club, and the couple host private tastings, blending workshops and gatherings by appointment at partner and private venues. The day below covers the north end of Sonoma County, from Alexander Valley to Dry Creek Valley, where Prinsley's Grenache is grown.
Tasting Fees
Prinsley has no public tastings or published fees; private tastings are arranged by appointment. On the day below, Robert Young's Estate Flight is $50, the Classic Patio Tasting at Pech Merle is $15, and Trattore Farms confirms its flight fee when we book.
Tasting fees as of October 2026. Wineries set and collect their own fees, and they change from time to time.

Alongside a private tasting with Prinsley, which we arrange by appointment, this day takes you to three sought-after estates nearby. Geyserville Inn is about 10 minutes from the first stop and h2hotel in Healdsburg about 20, so Healdsburg pickups are a little earlier. The day runs about six hours, and extra time can be added by the hour.
11:00 · Robert Young Estate Winery
About 10 minutes away. Six generations on one Alexander Valley ranch, with tastings on a terrace above the valley's early Cabernet vines. The Estate Flight is $50, about 90 minutes, seated at 11 a.m. By appointment; closed Tuesday.

A short walk away. A small family label named for France's painted caves, poured in a brick-walled lounge on Geyserville's main street. The Classic Patio Tasting is $15 and the VIP Reserve Patio Black Label Tasting $25; we plan about an hour. Open daily.
3:15 · Trattore Farms
About 10 minutes away. Hilltop vineyards and olive groves above Dry Creek Valley, with a tasting terrace that looks in every direction. The Exploration Flight is booked through Tock, and the fee is confirmed when we book; we plan about an hour. Thursday to Monday.
4:15 · Back to your hotel
Back to Geyserville by about 4:30 p.m., about six hours after pickup.
Trattore Farms is closed Tuesday and Wednesday and Robert Young is closed Tuesday, so plan this day for Thursday to Monday. For more time outdoors, Trattore's ATV vineyard tour ($125) can replace the flight.
About $65 per person at Robert Young and Pech Merle, plus the Trattore Farms flight fee confirmed when we book, paid directly to each winery.
