The gorgeous estate house at Boich Family Cellar. Oenophiles plugged into the names of the most coveted and hard-to-procure Napa Valley wines must know about Boich Family Cellar . This prestigious boutique winery atop a hill has a following for its full-bodied and luscious Cabernet Sauvignons and rich, almost honey-like Chardonnay.
Most are produced with grapes from single vineyards and highly allocated- the new latest releases are sold out as soon they hit. John Boich founded the brand in 2012, and while he clearly has a talent in the winemaking industry, what sets Boich Family Cellar apart from other elite Napa wineries is the experiences it offers for any visitor- even teetotalers who enjoy a beautiful setting and good time but aren’t necessarily interested in drinking wine. Your cookie cutter wine tasting trip, this isn’t.
If you are keen on imbibing at the winery, make a reservation well before when you want to go, as that’s the only way to get in. A wine expert and, on occasion, Boich himself, leads guests through a selection of expressions, including limited-edition wines that aren’t available to the general public. You can try them in the elegant tasting room or on a scenic outdoor terrace with panoramas of the surrounding hills.
But you can also take a vineyard tour or go for a hike to get in some exercise or opt for the culinary route. Boich Family Cellars partners with renowned restaurants in the area such as Charlie Palmer Steakhouse and The Charter Oak Re.
