Domaine Helena
We craft small-lot Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux varietals and welcome guests by appointment for intimate tastings in a scenic setting beyond Napa’s crowds.
A Distinct Sense of Place
Our estate vineyards sit at elevation, where warm days and cool mountain nights allow for slow, balanced ripening. The volcanic soils—shaped by the region’s geologic past—bring structure and precision to the wines, expressing a terroir that is both powerful and refined.
Farming is guided by organic and sustainable practices, with a focus on preserving the natural character of the land and each vintage.
The Wines
Our wines are produced in small lots, with an emphasis on Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux varietals that reflect the structure and nuance of volcanic terroir. Each vintage is crafted with restraint, allowing the vineyard to speak with clarity and precision.
