As summer tiptoes into Napa Valley, the town of Yountville is awakening with sunshine, sips, and sculpture. At the heart of it all sits Jessup Cellars, a long-beloved tasting room now redefining itself as an essential warm-weather destination—with three words that say it all: Frosé. Art. Patio.
A Cool Glass, A Warm Welcome
There’s something deliciously simple about the return of Frosé Season at Jessup Cellars. Launching Mother’s Day weekend (May 8–11, 2025) with an irresistible 2-for-1 special, the signature pink drink will be flowing Thursday through Sunday from 12pm to 6pm through August. At just $10 per glass, this lightly boozy (5% ABV), utterly refreshing treat is your perfect companion for a stroll through the tasting room or a leisurely afternoon on the patio. No reservations, no stress, just show up, chill out, and sip away.
Sip Among Sculptures
Step inside and you’ll find more than wine—Jessup Cellars doubles as a gallery space, offering guests a complimentary taste of wine to explore the rotating collection of fine art. Through July, the gallery hosts a thought-provoking dual exhibition:
- Marty Balogh, a San Francisco-based photographer whose ethereal, high-gloss prints on metal reveal hidden worlds shaped by personal transformation and abstract storytelling.
- Thomas Ramey, a master metal sculptor whose bold, geometric works have graced galleries from Miami to Malibu. His pieces pulse with the energy of a former touring musician and TV-featured fabricator, capturing both balance and raw force in steel.
This isn’t background décor—it’s an immersive experience where every glass and every glance is an invitation to pause, connect, and reflect.
Patio Season, Perfected
Of course, Jessup’s charming outdoor patio is equally compelling. Whether you’re dropping in for a walk-in flight of three wines, sharing a bottle with friends, or enjoying a Classic Wine & Cheese Pairing (reservation recommended), there’s no better setting for lounging in the golden Yountville light. Expect an all-star lineup of current releases—Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Rosé, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and signature red blends—alongside their buzzy Frosé.
The vibe is effortless luxury: relaxed but refined, artful but never pretentious. It’s the kind of place where locals linger and visitors become regulars.
