Beringer Vineyards
Founded in 1876, this is Napa Valley's longest continuously operating winery. Tour the Rhine House, a Victorian mansion, and the cellars carved into the hillside.
Beringer Vineyards was founded in St. Helena in 1876 by the Beringer brothers, German immigrants. It kept going during Prohibition by making sacramental wine. It is the longest continuously operating winery in Napa Valley and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The Rhine House, built on the estate in 1884, features stained glass and wood carvings. The tasting room and gardens have an elegant atmosphere, and there are guided tours of the old cellars carved into the mountain. Tastings start at about US$50, and reservations are recommended. The winery is on Highway 29 at the north end of St. Helena.
