Natural beauty defines Mumm Napa. Just off the Silverado Trail, the estate’s wooden barn and farmhouse blend harmoniously with the surrounding native oak trees and vineyards that stretch out to the Mayacamas mountains. The views are exquisite. And so are the wines.
Mumm Napa’s sparkling wines are the perfect combination of French roots and California style. The sparkling wine house was founded in the late 1970s by G.H. Mumm, one of France’s most celebrated champagne houses. From the signature Brut Prestige and Brut Rosé offerings to the premium tête de cuvée DVX line, today each sparkling wine produced reflects the impeccable quality standards and traditions of the winery’s French heritage.
Mumm Napa’s sparkling wines are made using a technique called méthode traditionnelle — a process that the estate’s founder, Guy Devaux, brought to the Napa Valley more than three decades ago. Today, Napa-born head winemaker Tami Lotz continues the tradition with care and creativity, working with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes from the 110-acre estate vineyards and grapes sourced from passionate local growers, many of whom have cared for the land for multiple generations.
Tami believes that everything in life is better with bubbles, and Mumm Napa invites guests to relax and savor exceptional sparkling wines while taking in the valley’s stunning scenery. Visitors can enjoy a seated reserve wine tasting beneath a 200-year-old tree on the Oak Terrace or indulge in a tasting with table service in the Devaux Lounge. Guests can wander along pathways through the verdant gardens or explore the Ansel Adams photography exhibit in the Art Gallery.
Tours of the winery and experiences such as the “Capturing the Sparkle” winemaking demonstration offer an intimate glimpse of the estate’s méthode traditionnelle winemaking process from hand-harvesting to assemblage, tirage and dosage. It’s not only a captivating educational experience, it’s a dynamic example of Mumm Napa’s commitment to excellence.
Lively conversation, delicious wines and memorable experiences are hallmarks of Mumm Napa’s warm hospitality and friendly atmosphere. The winery hosts a variety of events year-round, including art exhibits, library tastings, and seasonal dinners. These gatherings are the perfect opportunity to connect, unwind and indulge.
With its relaxed vibe, award-winning wines and terraces overlooking the vineyards, Mumm Napa is perfectly in harmony with its surroundings — a charming vineyard haven that invites us to lift a glass, soak in the natural splendor and live in the moment.
