Merryvale Vineyards: A Napa Valley Icon

Merryvale Vineyards, situated in the heart of St. Helena, stands as a testament to Napa Valley's enduring winemaking tradition. Established in 1933 as Sunnyhill Winery, it holds the distinction of being the first winery built in Napa after the repeal of Prohibition. This historic building has been a winemaking home to luminaries such as Robert and Peter Mondavi, who made their first wines here, and later The Christian Brothers. In its modern history, Merryvale began in 1983 and was purchased by the Schlatter family in 1992. The Schlatters are committed to preserving the winery's rich history while innovating for the future. Today, Merryvale is known for its Bordeaux-style wines, crafted from select vineyard sources, including their Profile Estate Vineyard in the hills east of St. Helena. A visit to Merryvale offers a range of experiences, from seated tastings in the winery's stunning cask room to exclusive events in the vineyards. The cask room, with its towering century-old redwood casks, provides an unforgettable backdrop for wine tasting and special occasions. Visitors can sample award-winning Cabernet Sauvignons, limited-production Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and Merryvale's iconic Bordeaux-style red blend, Profile. Merryvale also offers wine and food pairings with neighbors like Gott's Roadside and Pizzeria Tra Vigne.
