Everything You Need to Know About Jarvis Estate
Inspiring Backstory
William and Leticia Jarvis, the owners of Jarvis winery, met in Puebla, Mexico. They developed their love of wine together by maintaining a Louis XIV Chateau in Northern France. There, they developed a taste for fine Bordeaux reds and Montrachet whites. William and Leticia spent summers in Spain, cultivating their passion for Spanish wines and culture. After acquiring an estate in Napa, the couple spent 10 years perfecting their winemaking technique.
Jarvis Estate is tunneled into the side of the picturesque Vaca Mountains. Visitors to the winery (just 4 miles east of downtown Napa Valley) praise Jarvis’ delicious wines, which are inspired by the couple’s worldly experiences.
Must-Try Wines
The winemakers at Jarvis Estate have perfected the art of enology. Their carefully-curated process has led to the creation of flavorful, luxury wines. Jarvis Estate’s Reserve Wines are a collection of the most exceptional wines that the vineyard has to offer. Jarvis Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the most exclusive wine the estate offers. The wines can only be bought online by Jarvis Inner Circle members. However, a sampling of six Estate and Reserve wines is available on every tour of the property, and wine can be purchased on-site.
Absolutely Breathtaking Tours
In addition to producing excellent wine, Jarvis Estate is also an architectural masterpiece. The 45,000-square-foot winery is the first in the country to be located completely underground. The facility features curving chambers, fiber-optic chandeliers, and a stream running through its center. This combination of artisan and natural beauty provides an aesthetic background to the incredible estate tour.
The tasting tour is a comprehensive look at the Jarvis winemaking process. One of the most exciting parts of the experience is the visit to the Cuve Gallery. This display features one dozen enormous oak vessels used for flavor preservation. The tour concludes with a view of the beautiful underground waterfall and an intimate tasting of six Jarvis world-class wines.
