Welcome to Rutherford
A haven of world-class wines and understated elegance
Rutherford is a cornerstone of Napa Valley, known for its distinctive terroir, famously referred to as "Rutherford Dust." This unique soil, found along the prestigious Rutherford Bench, creates some of the most celebrated Cabernet Sauvignons in the world.

Rutherford's culinary scene is as inviting as its vineyards. Dine at Rutherford Grill, a local favorite for elevated American fare, or enjoy fine dining with stunning views at Auberge du Soleil, a Napa icon.

Boutique wineries such as Peju Province Winery and Bello Family Vineyards exemplify Rutherford’s dedication to craftsmanship and quality.
Rutherford is more than a place to visit—it’s a destination where timeless tradition meets modern sophistication, perfect for those seeking the very essence of wine country living.
