Napa Valley Wineries That Offer Unusual Tasting Experiences - AFAR

"Perched on Atlas Peak, the owners built underground tasting spaces to preserve the surrounding hills, leading guests down dusty tunnels with parabolic curves, moody lighting, curved bronze doorways, oversized casks and metal tanks, and even an underground waterfall that heightens anticipation. The subterranean setting is atmospheric and intriguing, and the estate-grown wines—notably precise Burgundian chardonnays, silky cabernet francs, and expressive merlot blends—offer character that matches the dramatic architecture." - Maria C. Hunt
