Founded in 1964 by Michael Stone and Peter Newton, Sterling Vineyards has been a Napa Valley pioneer—and a trailblazer for California Merlot, among the first to produce vintage-dated examples in 1969. Perched in Calistoga with striking Mediterranean architecture inspired by Mykonos, the winery offers a unique aerial gondola experience while crafting Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, and other bold varietals from distinguished vineyards like Petersen Ranch and Sleeping Lady.
