WINERY 1: DAKOTA SHY WINERY

Tom Garrett and Todd Newman’s friendship led them to craft wines that would rival the best of what Napa Valley had to offer – and to build their own world-class estate. The Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines are produced in very small quantitative and artfully crafted to reflect a sense of place, making them highly sought after as a result.

WINERY 2: GAMBLE FAMILY VINEYARDS 

Founded by third-generation farmer Tom Gamble in 2005, Gamble Family Vineyards farms approximately 175 acres of prime estate vineyards from several of Napa Valley’s most respected AVAs – Oakville, Yountville, Mt. Veeder, and Rutherford. Set in an isolated nook off Highway 29 in the heart of Napa Valley’s Oakville District, their winery has a quiet presence. Tom Gamble’s mission is to carry on the heritage of quality farming that his ancestors sowed when they came to Napa as farmers and ranchers in 1916.
