Currently, the Reserve has more than 600 members, two-thirds of whom live outside the state and come from around the world to enjoy special wine events and gourmet dinners. The Reserve Napa Valley, with a focus on small-lot, limited-production wines, provides its members with the opportunity to taste and purchase wines that are not available to the general public. Membership also grants access to the private Napa Valley Reserve tasting room and invitations to exclusive winery events.
