Whetstone Wine Cellars

“Whet Stone Cellars in Silverado Springs was honestly such a standout. The whole place feels relaxed, cozy, but still really intentional, they care deeply about the wine without making it feel intimidating. The Chardonnay was the highlight for me. It’s super clean and crisp with just the right amount of richness. And I NEVER like Chardonnay! You get bright fruit and this subtle mineral thing going on, but it never feels heavy or over-oaked. It’s the kind of wine you can casually enjoy, but also one that makes you pause and go, “oh wow, this is really good.” Definitely memorable. Melissa made the experience even better. She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to talk to. Nothing felt scripted or rushed. She explained the wines in a way that actually made sense and clearly loves what she does. It felt more like being shown around by a friend than sitting through a formal tasting. Whet Stone Cellars nails that balance between high-quality wine and a laid-back vibe. Great wine, great people, and an overall experience that makes you want to come back. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.”

“Beautiful and lovely stone house. Very friendly staff and amazing wine. Can't wait to come back during winter and experience tasting inside with the fireplace.”

“This is the hidden gem of Napa! The wines are impeccable and the hospitality is even better. At Whetstone you can cozy up by the fire and chat with Michelle who is the most lovely person. Despite the close proximity to downtown Napa, Whetstone makes you feel like you’re in Tuscany. Could not recommend this winery more.”

“Lovely blushed Rose wine was one of my favorites on this trip. We enjoyed the property and had a nice conversation with the staff. We like this winery a lot. The property is roughly built in 1885 (check with the staff) and has a lot of character. The trees and vines covering the property are very beautiful. 😍 Seating outside or inside depending on ypur preference. Definitely stop at this gem!! Thanks again!! 😊”

“We absolutely love this place! The wines are great. The people are wonderful. We always have a great time sitting here and admiring the lovely weather sipping on great wines from whetstone. I think this is one of Napa's great secrets; not many people know of this place. I think the owners do a great job making guests feel at home; all the staff are very down to earth; absolute pleasure. We always purchase a ton of wine and ship it home to have when we go home. Really enjoy this place. Thank you!”
