We welcome you to our family-owned and operated estate vineyard and winery. Our tasting room pays homage to Jim and Barbara Richards—first-generation proprietors of Paloma. Their son Sheldon, now owner and winemaker, is excited to personally host you. Above the fog, at the very top of Spring Mountain, we produce some spectacular wines, including our award-winning Merlot, our lush Cabernet Sauvignon, and our Cuvée blend—a tribute to the late Barbara Richards. Join us for a personal experience you won't forget!
“Wonderful experience in Napa! Such nice hosts too. The wine is so enjoyable with all the flavors and taste profile you would expect from the area and this vineyard. Have been a club member for almost 3 years now and always look forward to our shipment. Our friends love the wine as well. Merlot’s and the other varietals sent to us have never tasted better!”
“My wife and I have been going to Paloma and buying their wine since our first visit in 2010. That year, Barbara Richards was still the winemaker and hosting the tastings in her home. After she died, we enjoyed tasting with Sheldon. We have been back several times often with friends to introduce them to this terrific wine and continue to buy their Merlot every year. It is a delightful wine, full bodied, full of fruit but not cloying, smooth mouth feel and a great finish. We have not been back for some time but continue to buy the wine. Paloma is a gem in Napa and worth navigating Spring Mountain Road to visit.”
“The wines are very good at a reasonable price. Sheldon is an excellent host and I never felt I was at a "staged" wine tasting. It was purely a pleasant conversation while enjoying a wine tasting. Everything from his time in western Texas to his growing up in Canada. His dogs are super friendly too! Tim and Jane Smith, Richmond VA.”
“Will your GPS find this place? Who cares you’re a napa, just grab an uber and enjoy. This spot serves up big bodied Merlot wines. This is probably the best view I have seen in Napa. You enter through the winemaker’s home and you sit on the balcony overlooking the vineyards. Truly spectacular. Sheldon, the owner and winemaker, is Napa‘s unofficial historian. He knew everything. We very much enjoyed the hummingbird feeders and the two wonderful pups. The hummingbirds were so active. I believe Sheldon said he goes through 10 pounds of sugar a day to feed them. Wow! This place is definitely an experience and I definitely recommend it!”
“Paloma Winery is truly a hidden gem at the top of Spring Mountain. The drive up is long and winding, but absolutely worth it once you arrive. The tasting is hosted on the back deck of winemaker Sheldon’s home, where you’re greeted with the most breathtaking views. Laura guided us through a vertical tasting of their Merlot, along with some Cabernet, and her knowledge and passion made the experience even more special. The setting feels authentic and welcoming...this is what wine tasting is meant to be. One of the highlights was the abundance of hummingbirds that nest in the nearby trees. Sheldon has several feeders around the property, ensuring they’re well taken care of, which adds a magical charm to the experience. We also had the pleasure of meeting Franc and Mita, the friendly winery dogs who made us feel right at home. The property itself features some unique and interesting art, adding to the character and charm of the visit. Sheldon’s warmth, knowledge, and hospitality made this one of the most memorable tastings we’ve had. Paloma Winery is a must-visit for anyone looking for a truly authentic Napa Valley experience.”
