Howell Mountain Harvest Celebration

Howell Mountain Harvest Celebration is the Howell Mountain Vintners & Growers Association's annual grand tasting at The CIA at Copia, 500 1st Street, in downtown Napa, California, on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 1 to 4 PM. More than 30 Howell Mountain wineries pour over 100 wines, paired with small bites from the chefs of The Culinary Institute of America, with a silent auction of rare Howell Mountain wines and winery experiences. Advance tickets are $175; the door price is $350, and past editions have sold out.

The value is access: most Howell Mountain estates are not open to the public, and the participating list includes ADAMVS, Arkenstone, CADE Estate, Clif Family, Cornerstone Cellars, Dark Matter, La Jota, Lamborn Family, Neal Family, O'Shaughnessy, Outpost, Robert Craig, Summit Lake and Tom Eddy among roughly 40 producers. Wines can be bought on site. Howell Mountain, above St. Helena at 1,400 to 2,200 feet, was Napa Valley's first sub-appellation and is known for structured Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel.
