Inside a tasting room carved from solid rock, situated underground inside an ancient volcanic caldera… We elevate the whole wine tasting thing with carefully paired gourmet artisan cheese and charcuterie while discussing the finer points about what it means to be the country’s only estate wine barrel cooperage.

These elements are woven into a story more suited to Hollywood than Napa about a Smuggler’s legacy of clones, cops, and Cabernet…

Discover a portfolio of 24 extraordinary wines showcasing one of the most diverse vineyards in the United States, made by one of the most talented winemakers of our time.

Join John, Mario (John’s right-hand man) and/or Marc (our winemaker), live, unrated and uncut, on Zoom, for a series of five Virtual Tasting Sessions.

Each Session will include two or three wines while you get a front-row seat to the inner-sanctum details of all things Caldwell. We can offer refrigerated service on all case orders while passing along only the ground service shipping expense. A ZOOM link will be provided with your Sessions confirmation.

Notes to know • Wine and pairing orders must be placed at least 10 days in advance of the Session so get everything in time. • If you’re not buying wine (cause you already have it in your cellar) but still wanna hang, RSVP and we’ll shoot you the details. • Yes, you can invite friends because we don’t have to worry about County visitation limits online.
