Why We Recommend Tres Sabores

Tres Sabores earns its place for its pioneer spirit, led by Julie Johnson, a co-founder of Frog’s Leap and Women for Wine Sense. Its commitment to CCOF-certified organic polyculture—growing everything from pomegranates to Petit Verdot—creates a uniquely vibrant Napa ecosystem.

Why Visit

  • Explore a certified organic family farm.
  • Taste expressive, heritage-vine Zinfandel and Cabernet.
  • Meet the resident sheep and dogs.
  • Learn from pioneering winemaker Julie Johnson.
  • Enjoy a rustic, authentic Napa atmosphere.

Good to Know

This certified organic estate is celebrated for its historic Zinfandel vines and intimate, winemaker-led ranch tours and tastings.

The winery is located at the secluded end of South Whitehall Lane.

The property is a working farm where sheep and guinea fowl roam the vineyards as a natural fertilization team.

Why Visit Tres Sabores?

You have to visit for the atmosphere; it feels like stepping onto a friend’s working ranch rather than a corporate tasting room. Meet the winery dogs, watch the sheep graze, and enjoy some of the most expressive, terroir-driven Zinfandel in the valley.

"Tres Sabores Vineyard made our first vineyard visit in the U.S. truly unforgettable. Visiting with our 5-year-old can sometimes be a bit unpredictable, but this place made it feel effortless. Everyone was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely welcoming. The animals were a big hit with our son and added such a fun, unique touch. The wine selection was amazing, we loved it so much we took a couple of bottles home with us. You can tell there’s so much care and passion behind each bottle. A special thank you to Sarah, who was attentive, and made us feel so comfortable throughout. And Julie, the owner, was wonderful and clearly dedicated to creating such a special place. A perfect first vineyard experience in the U.S., especially for families looking for something welcoming and a little different."
