Discover more about Hagafen Cellars

Hagafen Cellars, nestled in the heart of Napa Valley at 4160 Silverado Trail, offers a unique glimpse into the world of kosher winemaking. Founded in 1979 by Ernie and Irit Weir, Hagafen (Hebrew for "the vine") was the first kosher winery in California, setting a high standard for kosher wines. Ernie Weir's extensive experience, including his time at Domaine Chandon, has shaped Hagafen into a distinguished boutique winery. The winery's tasting room, which opened in 2002, provides a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where visitors can sample a diverse range of wines. Hagafen produces approximately 8,000 cases annually, with over 20 wines available for tasting, including their signature Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon. What sets Hagafen apart is its commitment to quality and tradition, with wines served at White House dinners since 1981. Visitors can enjoy a seated tasting experience on the charming outdoor patio, surrounded by Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards and gardens. The knowledgeable staff guides guests through the wines, sharing the story of Hagafen and tailoring the experience to individual preferences. Hagafen also embraces sustainable practices, being a member of Napa Green, CCOF, and Bee Friendly Farmers.
