There are wineries that pour you a great glass of wine, and then there are wineries that make you feel like you’re part of something bigger. One Hope Winery is the latter.
From the moment I arrived, I knew this was going to be different. The setting is classic Napa—rolling vineyards, golden sunlight, and the peaceful quiet that makes you want to take a deep breath and just be present. But what really stood out wasn’t just the beauty, or even the wine (which, by the way, is phenomenal). It was the people and the purpose behind it all.
Jake, the CEO, welcomed us personally—something you don’t expect at a major winery. He brought over a bottle of their 2021 Cabernet Reserve, smiled, and said, “My Bubby would have been proud of this. She always wanted me to make kosher wine.” That moment set the tone for the entire experience. This isn’t just a winery—it’s a place with a soul.
And then there was Dan Levin, a legend in the world of kosher winemaking. If you’ve ever had a high-end kosher Napa wine, chances are, Dan had a hand in it. He shared stories of the meticulous care that goes into making a wine truly kosher, and the deep sense of history and tradition that goes into every bottle.
The wine itself? Exceptional. We tasted 2013, 2014 and 2021 Cabernet Reserve.
One Hope isn’t just about making great wine—it’s about making an impact. Every bottle contributes to meaningful causes, and you can feel that energy in every corner of the estate.
If you’re looking for a Napa experience that’s personal, meaningful, and absolutely unforgettable, One Hope is the place. This isn’t just wine—it’s a story, a legacy, and a mission in a bottle. Can’t wait to come back.
