A Fresh Year with Sparkling Wine

January is an ideal time to enjoy Napa Valley’s sparkling wines, when the pace slows and tasting experiences feel more personal. Crisp winter days and clear light create the perfect backdrop for savoring bubbles crafted with care and tradition.

Near Yountville, Domaine Chandon offers a relaxed introduction to Napa Valley sparkling wine, with classic Brut and rosé selections poured in a bright, inviting setting. A short drive north leads to Schramsberg Vineyards in Calistoga, one of the region’s most celebrated names. Known for its historic caves and méthode traditionnelle wines, Schramsberg offers guided tastings that highlight the depth and elegance behind each bottle.

Further south, Domaine Carneros and Mumm Napa round out the experience with Pinot Noir–driven sparkling wines and sweeping vineyard views. Together, these producers showcase the range and craftsmanship that define Napa Valley bubbles.

Sparkling wine feels especially fitting at this time of year —unhurried, refined, and meant to be savored. After a day of tasting, returning to the comfort of the Lodge, with its peaceful vineyard views, brings the day to a relaxed close.
