"At Cakebread, culinary offerings are varied. The team gets creative with whatever’s growing in the winery’s garden for the Perfect Pair ($100, offered Thursday to Monday), a tasting that matches four wines with bites like red flint corn polenta with burrata, chiles, and artichokes. Notably, Cakebread does offer a family-friendly wine tasting where children are welcome to listen to the tour guide while their parents drink." - Dianne de Guzman
"At Cakebread Cellars you can tour the property's gardens before sitting down for a meal, combining a walk-through of the grounds with a dining experience." - Sean Flynn
"Our story begins with a piece of land, a family passionate about wine, and a community of friends and partners who helped bring Cakebread Cellars to life. Since founding the winery in 1973, we’ve set out to create quality wines that pair best with good food and good company. Our wines reflect the personalities of our estate vineyards as well as the spirit of our entire team. We’re proud to share these wines—from our family to yours."
"Tracing Jack Cakebread's legacy, I note that Cakebread Cellars released its first vintage in 1973, and under Cakebread's guidance the winery helped popularize the connection between wine and food—he organized the first American Harvest Workshop in 1987 and later served as president of both the Napa Valley Vintners and the Winegrowers of Napa Valley—marking a transformation from car repairman and photographer into a celebrated Napa Valley vintner." - Dianne de Guzman
