Beringer's focus on excellence is illustrated in its commitment to sustainable practices and our wines express this attention to the environment. Each Beringer vineyard, with its own distinctive soil, climate and terrain, lends itself to particular grape varietals. These vineyards have become recognized as the primary sources of Beringer wines.
Bale Lane Vineyard
The well-drained soils of this vineyard, located in the warmer, mid-valley area of Napa Valley , produce beautifully ripe fruit that goes into our full-flavored Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon wines.

Bancroft Ranch Vineyard
A beautiful vineyard at an elevation of 1,800 feet on Howell Mountain , Bancroft Ranch produces intense Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc for use in our Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. The dark and intense Merlot from this vineyard has also been bottled separately since 1987.

Big Ranch Road Vineyard
Located in the cool southern region of Napa Valley , this vineyard with shallow, gravelly soil of low fertility produces Chardonnay, Merlot and Pinot Noir with full, rich flavors and excellent structure. Chardonnay from Big Ranch Road Vineyard is often selected for our Private Reserve Chardonnay.

Chabot Vineyard
These gently sloping, obsidian-laden hillside vineyards are located on the eastern slope of Napa Valley near St. Helena . The low-yielding vines produce superlative Cabernet Sauvignons of deep color and rich flavor with a suggestion of mint.

Gamble Ranch Vineyard
Emanating from the Rector Creek alluvial fan near Oakville , the rocky soil of this vineyard produces grapes of maturity and intensity well-suited to our barrel-fermented Chardonnay. Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also grown here.

St.Helena Home Vineyard
This is the area that first attracted Jacob Beringer to the property more than 100 years ago. The Cabernet Sauvignon planted on the sloped alluvial fan of this warm Napa Valley vineyard has been a key component of our Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon since 1982.

Knights Valley Vineyard
The well-drained soils of this warm vineyard, located 17 miles north of the winery at the edge of Napa Valley, in Sonoma County, are perfectly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The fruit goes into our unique Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Beringer Knights Valley Alluvium and Alluvium Blanc, two proprietary blends named after the alluvial soils of the vineyard that were deposited here millions of years ago by an ancient river.

Marston Ranch Vineyard
Volcanic in origin and low in fertility, the soils of this historic mountain vineyard have for decades been highly regarded for both Bordeaux and Rhene varietals, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Marston Ranch is actually a contiguous, multi-level string of smaller vineyards on the front and back sides of a hill in the Spring Mountain appellation just west of St. Helena .
|
|
Quarry Vineyard
The volcanic soil of this 20-acre hillside vineyard in the Rutherford district produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon fruit and a small amount of Cabernet Franc, ripened by the warm afternoon sunshine that the eastern side of Napa Valley is exposed to until the sun sets behind the Mayacamas Mountains in the west.
|
|
Rancho Del Oso
Located high up on Howell Mountain and named for the red bears that are said to swim in a nearby pond, this vineyard has distinctive red, volcanic soils and the typical mountain climate of hot sun and cool nights, producing Cabernet Sauvignon fruit with a similar powerful character as that from Steinhauer Ranch.
|
|
Stanly Ranch Vineyard
The shallow, clay-loam soils and the cool climate of our Stanly Ranch Vineyard, located just a half-mile from the San Pablo Bay in the prestigious Carneros appellation at the southern end of the Napa Valley, are ideal for growing Chardonnay, Viognier and Pinot Noir grapes that make mouthwatering, complex wines.
|
|
Steinhauer Ranch
At an elevation of 1,800 feet on Howell Mountain , this vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc enjoys cool mountain temperatures but is above the fog line so receives plenty of sun. That unique climate, together with the volcanic red soils, yields berries and wines with an intense flavor.
|
|
Yountville Vineyard
This vineyard in the Yountville appellation of the southern Napa Valley has slightly cooler temperatures and shallow, clay-loam soils that produce great Chardonnay with full, rich flavors and excellent structure. Fruit from our Yountville Vineyard is regularly used in our Private Reserve Chardonnay, and a small amount of Riesling is also grown here.
|
|
Lampyridae Vineyard
Lampyridae, "firefly" in Latin, is on Mount Veeder, at approximately 2400 ft elevation. This picturesque vineyard is high above the fog layer and has longer hours of sunshine and warmer nights, but days are cooler than the lower elevation vineyards. On clear days you can see all the way to San Francisco. The newest vineyard in the Private Reserve line-up is already showcasing incredible depth of flavor and intensity.
