Visit to Spring Mountain Vineyards

Spring Mountain Vineyard
An amazing 812 acre winery that embodies and does honor to the Spring Mountain AVA. Once 3 separate properties La Perla (435 acres), Chevalier (120 acres) and Miravalle (257 acres) it is now Spring Mountain Vineyard. The vineyards occupy 226 acres that are broken up into 135 smaller vineyard blocks.

The property lies behind Beringer Winery in St Helena near the valley floor and rises all the way up to 1600 feet. The amazing history of this winery begins in 1873, and is both fascinating and complex, touching and influencing so much of Napa Valley past and present.

The wineries' website is a great resource of information :
