Shafer Vineyards

The property at Shafer has been the site of winemaking since Napa Valley’s first boom in 1880. John Shafer purchased the site in 1972 and began planting the hillside estate to Cabernet Sauvignon making his first wine in 1978. Later, Doug Shafer and Elias Fernandez joined the winery, as winemaker and assistant winemaker. In 2002 Elias was named Food & Wine’s “Winemaker of the Year”. The team continue to make wines the trademark Shafer style of elegance, richness, and balance.

Napa Valley

Napa Valley, located in Northern California, is one of the world's most renowned wine regions. Famous for its exceptional wine quality and beautiful landscapes, it benefits from a Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights, ideal for viticulture. Particularly celebrated for its full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and rich Chardonnay, which are among the most sought-after wines globally, the region also produces notable Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc, each reflecting the valley's diverse terroirs and microclimates. Historically, Napa Valley's winemaking roots date back to the 19th century, but it gained significant prominence in the 1970s with its success in international wine competitions.
