Goosecross Cellars

This small, family-owned winery is tucked away on a Yountville side road, just north of the Stag’s Leap district. The three owners are apt to be on hand and in person at the tasting counter or adjacent winery, tending to business or chatting with visitors in the fun and lively tasting room. Their creative style is apparent in the chocolate dipped wine bottles displayed behind the counter, and recipe laden database and periodic podcasts that are available on their web site. Owner Colleen Topper sums up the winery’s general philosophy with the simple and sincere point that “our customers are our friends.”
