The Vibe: 

An artisanal winery along the Silverado Trail, Hagafen Cellars makes for a fun stop for those seeking to try several varietals from a single producer, or those looking for one of the relatively few kosher wineries in Napa. Its walls are adorned with framed White House menus and thank you notes, which testify to the numerous occasions on which Hagafen wines have been served to international dignitaries and heads of state. The spare tasting room is generally staffed by a lone, hospitable employee, eager to discuss the winemaking and wine styles.
