Ever wonder why some Napa Valley wines taste so unique?
The answer lies in the magic of the mountains. As a winery in the mountains, Paloma benefits from factors unique to this special location. Higher elevation, diverse soils, and dramatic temperature swings create grapes with intense flavors and balanced tannins, resulting in truly exceptional wines.
Want to master the art of wine tasting and pairing?
Our guided wine tasting experience goes beyond the sip! Learn how to identify key aromas and flavors, explore the impact of grape varietals, and discover how to pair our wines beautifully with your next meal. It’s the perfect introduction to the wonderful world of wine appreciation.
