Elizabeth Spencer Wines

Elizabeth Spencer Winery is a boutique winery located in the heart of Napa Valley, in Rutherford, housed within a beautifully restored historic 1872 brick Post Office. Behind this iconic building lies a hidden garden retreat, offering a serene and intimate setting that reflects the winery’s philosophy of hospitality and discovery.

Founded by Elizabeth Pressler and Spencer Graham, the winery was officially established in 1998 after years of shared passion and experience in the wine industry. Their vision was to create wines that express a true sense of place while building long-term relationships with trusted grape growers across California.

Today, Elizabeth Spencer is known for its artisanal approach and strong connection to vineyards in Napa Valley, Sonoma, and Mendocino. The winery blends traditional values—such as hands-on vineyard work and close partnerships—with a refined, modern perspective. It remains a destination where craftsmanship, storytelling, and warm hospitality come together.

Elizabeth Spencer wines are crafted with a focus on purity, balance, and terroir expression, showcasing the diversity of Northern California.

The portfolio began with a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which remains a cornerstone of the winery’s identity. Over time, the range has expanded to include a variety of wines sourced from carefully selected vineyards across Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino.

Key characteristics of the wines:

Emphasis on high-quality fruit from trusted growers

Careful vineyard management and collaboration throughout the growing season

Wines that balance structure, elegance, and approachability

The result is a collection of wines that reflect both the uniqueness of each vineyard and the consistent, refined style of the winery—crafted to be expressive, food-friendly, and memorable.
