What Stags' Leap Winery does

Stags' Leap Winery is a Napa Valley luxury wine producer founded in 1893 on a 240-acre estate in the Stags Leap District AVA (designated 1989), with 85 planted acres across 23 distinct blocks and a 28,000-square-foot wine cave built into the Stags Leap Palisades' volcanic rhyolite. It produces a portfolio anchored on Cabernet Sauvignon (flagship "The Leap"), ultra-premium reserve "Audentia," estate Petite Sirah from the heritage Ne Cede Malis block, and a Napa Valley collection (Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, red blends) sourced from select growers; all wines are sold under single-vineyard and Napa Valley designations. The commercial model is direct-to-consumer, executed through an appointment-only estate tasting room on Silverado Trail, an owned e-commerce storefront (stagsleap.com), a subscription wine club delivering five shipments per year at 15–20% member discount, corporate gifting with a dedicated concierge for orders of 12+, and experiential products such as theatrical tastings and virtual tastings for events; wholesale runs through select retail partners and a recent Reyes Beverage Group distribution arrangement under Treasury Wine Estates. Operationally, the brand is owned and governed by Treasury Wine Estates Americas Company (parent: ASX-listed Treasury Wine Estates Limited), was designated in 2026 as one of TWE's 10 "Power Brands" as the parent reduces its U.S. brand count from 76 to fewer than 30, and is led by General Manager & Senior Winemaker Ludovic Dervin; the company maintains 11–50 employees and a single U.S. operating location.
