Located in the charming village of Yountville in Napa County, Jessup Cellars combines wine tasting with an art gallery experience—and your dog can come along. The tasting room doubles as a rotating exhibition space featuring work by regional and national artists, so you’re not just sampling wines in a standard cellar setup. The gallery walls give the whole experience a different feel than the typical Napa tasting room.
Your dog needs to be well-behaved, but assuming they are, they’re welcome to spend the afternoon with you while you work through Jessup Cellars’ selection of wines. The space is spacious enough that you won’t feel cramped or like your dog is in anyone’s way. The combination of art, wine, and a relaxed atmosphere makes it feel more like visiting a gallery that happens to serve wine rather than a wine bar with some paintings on the walls.
If you’re in Yountville for the day—maybe exploring the galleries and restaurants along Washington Street or planning a walk through Veterans Home Park—Jessup Cellars fits naturally into your itinerary. It’s a genuine option for wine tasting that doesn’t require you to leave your dog tied up outside or back at your lodging. The art exhibitions rotate, so if you find yourself back in Napa, there will likely be something different on the walls to see. The vibe is sophisticated without feeling stuffy, which means your dog will probably feel as comfortable there as you do. That balance is harder to find in Napa than you’d think.
