Welcome to Pope Valley Winery

Go Back More Than a Century ...

"Wine makes every meal an occasion, every table more elegant, every day more civilized."
-- Andre Simon, Commonsense of Wine

Tucked away, deep in the recesses of the Napa Valley you’ll find one of California’s secret treasures ... Pope Valley is one of the fastest growing wine regions in America, yet it still retains that peaceful, country feeling.

With over a century of history, the Pope Valley Winery elicits the feel of the early California pioneer lifestyle and provides our visitors with a chance to reflect back on simpler times.

Pope Valley Winery was founded in 1897 by Ed Haus. The winery is a showcase of 19th century winemaking technology; the main building - situated on top of the Haus Creek that meanders through the property so as to conserve usable land - rises three stories against a hillside so as to use gravity to move the wine from stemmer/crusher to press to barrel. The winery is built into the hillside to create cave-like cool temperatures and higher humidity for the bottom barrel room.

Also on the property is the original homestead family house, and a blacksmiths workshop with century-old equipment inside.

We lovingly produce almost 5,000 cases a year of the finest wines in Napa Valley. Our wines are hand crafted from our estate vineyards from vines that were planted as far back 1940.

Pope Valley Winery hand-crafts wines from the estate Eakle Ranch and the nearby Meyercamp Ranch in the Pope Valley Region of Napa Valley. Pope Valley is situated above Napa Valley in the Vacas Mountains on the backside of Howell Mountain. The region's wineries are in the process of drafting formal recognition of the region through an application for an American Viticultural Area demarcation from the federal government.

Pope Valley Winery is noted for its Old Vine and Late Harvest Chenin Blancs from Meyercamp Ranch, and Eakle Ranch Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Sangiovese Rosé, Zinfandel, and Zinfandel Port.

The winery, tasting room and picnic grounds are available for your private party or event.
