Let’s be honest, these are by far the most intriguing wineries to visit in Napa and Sonoma. A tour and tasting at these great estates is something to get seriously excited about.
A cult wine is one that typically has a 100 point score, or multiple such scores, is often made in tiny volumes, and has a cult-like following. It can be difficult to even find the wines in the market, and allocations of these cult wines can be hard to come by. The wines are expensive by definition.
Top Hat will take you right to the source, so you can see the vineyards and winemaking, and enjoy an incredible tour and tasting at 3 different cult producers. This is a bucket-list experience.
