Shafer Vineyards is a family-founded winery located in the renowned Stags Leap District of Napa Valley. Established in 1972 by John Shafer, the estate quickly rose to prominence through a clear vision, dedication to the land, and an uncompromising pursuit of quality.

What began as a hillside vineyard soon became one of the most respected names in American winemaking. With over 200 acres of sustainably farmed vines, Shafer produces wines that reflect both the richness of Napa’s terroir and the precision of thoughtful craftsmanship. The winery is best known for its flagship Hillside Select, a benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon celebrated worldwide, along with other acclaimed labels such as One Point Five, Relentless, and Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay. Longtime winemaker Elias Fernandez has guided the style of Shafer wines for decades, focusing on depth, balance, and longevity.

Together with Doug Shafer, the estate has maintained a philosophy rooted in respect for tradition while embracing innovation.
