Vintner's Collective

The Vibe

Before there were glass-and-expensive-wood wineries dotting the Napa Valley, there was the old-school, wild-west town of Napa, with Victorian houses and a real town square and essential businesses like breweries, saloons and brothels. Today, some of those old essential business aren’t around so much, but the buildings that housed them are. Such is the case with the Pfeiffer Building at the corner of Main and Clinton streets in downtown Napa. Built in 1875 and touted as the valley’s oldest stone building, today it houses the Vintner’s Collective, a tasting space where you can try flights of wines from among 18 different boutique wineries, including D Cubed, JC Cellars and Phelan. With a small seating area and a gallery and outdoor space upstairs, it’s a great stop for those looking to try a selection of artisan Napa reds before heading to dinner or drinks elsewhere in town.
