At Stewart Cellars, it's the quest that inspires us. The quest for the ideal site, for consistently lush fruit, for the like-minded grower who labors toward the perfect expression of a vineyard. We build lasting relationships with viticulturists and together we test the limits of what an exceptional patch of soil can yield.
Our requirement for the resulting wine is simple: it must deliver beyond expectation every time. Our quest takes us to some of the most respected vineyards across the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. Our focus is on vineyard designate wines that exemplify the terroir of their respective vineyards. Our intention with each bottle, is that we fulfill our promise a thousand times over - only the best of the best bears the Stewart family name.

The Tasting Hall features vaulted ceilings, a horseshoe shaped tasting bar and nearly floor to ceiling doors that open to courtyard views. A 45 to 60-minute seated experience hosted in the Courtyard featuring the 2020 Sonoma Mountain Rose, 2019 Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay, 2019 'Tartan' Red Blend, and 2018 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Our family began crafting the Stewart wines 20 years ago with a promise in mind; delivering exceptional, age worthy wines, while taking you on a journey. The NOMAD Collection builds upon that promise with an exploration of Napa Valley's most exquisite vineyards and their unique terroir as we showcase Andy Beckstoffer's Heritage Vineyards.

Located in Yountville, CA, the Stewart Cellars Tasting Hall is within walking distance from some of Napa Valley's most famous culinary attractions and luxury resorts. An unforgettable wine tasting experience awaits guests in a graceful indoor-outdoor property featuring three stone buildings oriented around a relaxing courtyard with interiors designed by Ken Fulk.
When Michael Stewart sold the technology company he founded and ran for 25 years in Texas, he knew that his next venture would in some way allow him to capitalize on a longtime interest in wine. He made several trips to the Napa Valley over the years and was charmed by the idea of settling here and building a family business.

We enjoyed a fantastic visit to Stewart Cellars on a drizzly Sunday afternoon. The ambiance of the tasting room was intimate, chic, and welcoming with tables and booths that the staff graciously allowed us to push around to accommodate our party and kids. We stayed for nearly two hours sampling some of the most delicious wines I've had in quite awhile. Our favorites included the pinot noir, Tartan blend, and a very well-balanced chardonnay that was creamy and not overly buttery or oaky. The woman who assisted us was knowledgeable, friendly, and so accommodating. It was truly a warm and pleasant

Stewart Cellars was recommended to me by the staff at Jessup Cellars. The two locations are also right next to each other so it was a short walk after our planned tasting at Jessup.
Stewart offers a small but robust selection of wines. Highlights from the tasting were the Chardonnay and the "Tartan" Red Blend. The featured Chardonnay on the tasting menu isn't overly buttery, and strikes a good balance of oak and a chablis style wine. The Tartan Red Blend has good fruity notes and isn't overpowered by oak or tannins. Solid everyday red wine.

Beautifully designed tasting room, with ample indoor and outdoor seating, right off of the main drag. We enjoyed a cozy outdoor space and lounged on a really comfy couch as we slowly tasted our four wines. Manny was a great host, sharing just enough about each wine and not rushing us along. My favorite was the Pinot Noir, reasonably priced, just enough bite yet drinkable with almost anything. I'll definitely be back!

This is a wonderful gem of a tasting room in Yountville. We did the tasting on the patio. I love this outdoor space. It has comfy seating and is really beautifully decorated. It is in the heart of Yountville, so outside on the patio, you feel like you are in the middle of the fun.
The wines are exceptional, and the service was so welcoming.

I always feel a little embarrassed at giving a less than stellar review at a place like Stewart Cellars.
I mean the set up is lovely, the staff is knowledgeable and generous, and the selection, especially if you get some of their higher end wines that are not under the Stewart label (Stewart Cellars claims to be the second winery that has all six Beckstoffers vineyard fruit...just like B Cellars) are high end, Napa Valley fruit.
Considering that Beckstoffers fruit sells between $44,000-58,000 a ton, you would expect a review that praises to the cosmos.
I just can't do it.

Manny is our favorite person ever. He 100% is the reason we joined as members at this winery. Knowledgeable about the wines but also so fun! We want to continue coming back to this winery for the experience alone! Plus the wines are incredible- especially their red blend. Definitely an amazing experience. Thank you Manny!

This spot rocks! The aesthetic is so stylish and clean. The staff is warm, welcoming, and friendly. We came with six people, ordered a bottle of rosé to enjoy while waiting for a lunch reservation at RH across the street. It was delicious and the AC felt amazing coming in from 80 degree weather.
We stumbled upon SC without any expectations and came away very impressed. Highly recommend!

My go to spot for Yountville tasting room is dedicatedly Stewart Cellars! I like to go at around 5 on a weekday, order a glass of their NOMAD wine which is about $35 a glass (retail for $175 a bottle) and is worth every penny! The outdoor space is gorgeous, the interior is designed by the famous, one and only Ken Folk. On a hot day I will order a bottle of the Chardonnay and chill at the outdoor area. If you are feeling really fancy, book the NOMAD tasting! I think there is absolutely something for everyone's palette and price point!

AC blasting in the main tasting room, lots of comfortable outdoor seating under umbrellas to taste during the warm summer days. Ashley was our host the morning we decided to visit. She made us feel welcome, talked us through everything, gave us some additional pours to try out some of their reds side by side and the cheese/fruit plate is worth sharing and pairing with the wines they were pouring.
Their wines are good, not the best that I've had, but definitely fun tasting what this winery/tasting room had to offer. Ended up getting a bottle of the 2020 Sonoma Mountain Rose 2020 and a bottle

New favorite place to visit in Yountville! Thank you Jessup Cellars and Whitney Woltz for introducing me to this hidden gem. Ask for Ashley! The whole staff is friendly, kind hearted and make you feel like your family. Beautiful outdoor tasting area, nice shade on a hot day, and a large menu (along with epic cheese/fruit plate) to choose from!
Ashley, provided excellent knowledge of the wines, region, and asked your preferences to make your wine tasting experience customized!
I cannot wait to visit again and will recommend this place to all my family and friends!

Excellent cellar to do wine-tasting at. Really felt relaxed and on vacation, the aesthetic of the cellar helps. We loved the architecure and design! Our server who conducted the tasting was super friendly, approachable and very knowledgable. He spent a lot of time educating us and answering questions and providing a history on wine-making in napa and specific to the stewart family. The sauvignon blanc was amazing, with notes of mango, kiwi etc. My husband also loved the pinot noir and cabernet. Good price points too.

Was mid day on Monday and was able to get a tasting without reservations. They are known for their reds, but we really enjoyed their Rose and Savignon blanc, so much we bought a bottle of each. The place is relaxing as we sat outdoors in comfy chairs/sofas and soaked up the spring sun. The tasting is well spaced so you don't feel rushed but you are also not wondering where they disappeared to. They are also super friendly. A wonderful place to sit out, relax and enjoy great wines!

We first stopped here about 4 years ago for a tasting. All of the wines here are amazing but our favorite was the 2014 merlot so we picked up a few bottles. We decided to drink our last bottle the night before our trip back anticipating buying more. It was our first stop only to learn that the wine maker no longer makes the merlot. We were very disappointed because it was amazing. It reminded us of a Barnett merlot. Luckily today we found 5 more bottles and it's still as magnificent as I remember. All wines here are good but I really wish the wine maker would add merlot to the list again

We had a great time here! Beautifully designed space and incredibly attentive staff. Brian helped us with our tasting flight and was great! Super knowledgeable and kind. We definitely felt that the staff here genuinely cared about us having a good experience. We ended up buying a bottle of the Tartan - delicious - you must try!

We stopped here randomly to pass time before our dinner reservation and I have to say it was one of my favorite wine tastings! The host was very personable and catered the wine selections to our tastes. I prefer white wines over reds and he offered me a selection of white wines with knowledgable background on each type. Was very impressed with this place! There's comfy outdoor seating and a simple, cozy layout. Would highly recommend going here

We reserved a tasting for 4 last weekend and it was such a wonderful experience! We've been in this area so many times and never really wine tasted but boy are we glad we did!
First off they have a wonderful outdoor patio area that is spaced out wonderfully! It's such a great area to sit and feels more private since it's not located near the street.A few tips as it gets confusing if you do the first tasting at 11am where exactly they are located. The tasting room is next to Jessup however due to Covid you need to walk towards the back area.. you'll see the patios and then on
