Chappellet Vineyard
One of Napa Valley’s founding wineries, Donn & Molly Chappellet were among the first to plant vineyards on the high-elevation hillsides of Pritchard Hill, founding the vineyard in 1967. All six of their children are involved with the vineyard. The organically farmed estate rewards with a quiet setting and views from 1,800 feet, across Lake Hennessey and beyond. Visitor options range from winery vineyards walks to more in-depth tastings. By appointment only; chappellet.com.
