Item Description

Franciscan has its roots deeply embedded in the soil of Napa Valley. Founded over three decades ago, wine industry revolutionaries Raymond Duncan and Justin Meyer shaped the winery’s beginnings. In 1985, renowned vintner Agustin Huneeus took over the reins, leading the winery to greatness through innovation and a commitment to small-lot winemaking.

Today, Director of Winemaking Janet Myers is preserving the winery’s legacy while leading it into the future. “We inherited a craftsman’s ethic here: work with nature, work in small lots, innovate. Our uniqueness depends on the details,” she says.

Enjoy the beauty and uniqueness that is Franciscan - a personalized tour, tasting and lunch for four prepared by Franciscan's in-house chef. Take home four bottles of the Stylus, Franciscan’s signature Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to enjoy. The engraving on the label presents an aerial perspective of a wine press that symbolizes Franciscan’s commitment to creating exceptional wines in hundreds of small lots and blending them to perfection.
