Cain Vineyard & Winery is a winery located in the Napa Valley region of California. It was founded in the late 1970s by Henry and Susan Cain, who purchased a property in the Spring Mountain District of Napa Valley and planted the first Cain Vineyard & Winery vineyards. The winery’s first vintage was released in 1979.
Cain Vineyard & Winery is known for producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style wines using grapes grown on the estate’s vineyards. The winery’s vineyards are located on a hillside in the Spring Mountain District, which is known for its rocky, well-draining soil and cool climate. These conditions are ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which are known for their bold, full-bodied flavors and structured tannins.
The winery’s Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style wines are made using a blend of grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet franc, and Petit Verdot. The grapes are carefully selected and sorted before they are fermented in small batches. The wines are aged in oak barrels, which help to develop their flavors and aromas and add depth and complexity to the wines. The aging process allows the flavors and aromas of the wine to become more nuanced and complex, and it also helps to soften the tannins and create a more balanced, smooth texture.
In addition to producing Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style wines, Cain Vineyard & Winery also produces a small selection of other wines, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah. The winery’s wines are highly sought after and have received numerous accolades and awards over the years. Cain Vineyard & Winery is known for its commitment to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique character and terroir of the Spring Mountain District.
Visitors to Cain Vineyard & Winery can take a tour of the winery and see the process of making wine firsthand. The winery also offers tastings of its wines, which are available by appointment. In addition to its wines, Cain Vineyard & Winery is known for its beautiful setting and picturesque vineyards, which offer stunning views of the Napa Valley. The winery’s tasting room is housed in a charming stone building that was built in the early 1900s, and it features a fireplace, comfortable seating, and a cozy atmosphere. Visitors to the winery can enjoy a tasting of Cain Vineyard & Winery’s wines while taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards and mountains.

10 years agoWhile it is off the beaten path, it is definitely worth the trip up spring mountain. All three blends were amazing. Our host Matt was very informative and personable. Will definitely be drinking more of their wines.
