About the
Stone Cellar
Built in 1879, our historic stone cellar accommodates groups of 15 to 200 guests. We specialize in pairing our award-winning wines with the culinary delights of Napa’s most celebrated chefs and caterers for private winery dinners, corporate events, rehearsal dinners and more. We arrange every detail of your event, from customized printed menus to floral arrangements and live entertainment, with professionalism and panache.
Rehearsal Dinners
Why Wait for the Wedding to Celebrate?
The rehearsal dinner is a wonderful way for friends and family to socialize — and share embarrassing stories about the bride and groom — before the big day. Your guests are greeted with a refreshing glass of our award-winning sauvignon blanc paired with hors d’oeuvres created by our talented local chef. Dinner is in our historic stone cellar — the perfect way to kick off your wedding celebration.
Proposal Packages
A Proposal for the Ages
Every couple has a proposal story, let’s make yours truly magical. Arrive at our beautiful stone cellar, where your romantic adventure begins with a splash of wine and a private winery tour for two, ending in the historic barrel room where a candlelit table is set for two. All you have to do is pop the question. In celebration, you’re treated to a private wine tasting of four award-winning wines and a bottle of Markham wine to take home with you. Please allow two hours for this experience — and don’t forget the ring!
