At Rutherford Hill, skill and nature converge to craft wines of remarkable distinction. Founded in 1972, the winery helped pioneer Napa Valley’s rise as a destination for luxury Merlot. Perched atop a scenic hill, the tasting room offers sweeping valley views and a newly elevated experience under Head Winemaker Stephanie Jacobs, whose vision brings renewed expression and character to the wines. Guests can explore a range of immersive tastings—from private Skylofts and relaxed terrace seating to an adventurous ATV vineyard tour followed by a cave lounge tasting. Today, Rutherford Hill stands at the intersection of elevated hospitality and extraordinary winemaking, earning recognition from Wine Spectator as one of Napa Valley’s most dramatic transformations of 2025.
