Bella Union specializes in the meticulous craft of blending Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Established in 2012 by the partners of Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel, whose legacy spans over 30 years of cultivating, vinifying, and savoring Napa Valley Cabernet, Bella Union represents the natural progression in our journey as Cabernet artisans.
Nestled on a 25-acre expanse of Cabernet Sauvignon vines along Bella Oaks Lane, a revered locale for Cabernet cultivation in the heart of Rutherford, our winery epitomizes the essence of this iconic varietal. The name, Bella Union, pays homage to the rich history of Bella Oaks Lane, once known as the Bella Union Roadway during the 1880s, guiding travelers into the majestic Mayacamas Mountains and to the site of the Bella Union Mining Company.
Crafting an exquisite and seamless fusion of vineyards spanning the breadth of the Napa Valley demands a delicate balance of meticulously chosen sites and traditional varietals that complement Cabernet Sauvignon with grace and finesse. It is with this ethos that Bella Union Winery came into being.
