Del Dotto Estate Winery & Caves
Known For
Hand-painted barrel caves that double as dramatic photo backdrops
Del Dotto Estate Winery & Caves takes the great-for-photos promise seriously, with hand-painted barrel caves that look like something out of a Venetian fever dream. The cozy nook alcoves tucked between barrels make it one of the most visually arresting tasting experiences in St. Helena.
🕐Best time to visit: Saturday when the cave tours run at full capacity
Our Take
Barrel-cave tastings lit by candlelight inside actual hand-carved stone tunnels is the kind of experience that sounds made up until you're standing inside one at Del Dotto. It's a solid charming spot that skews theatrical — theatrical done well — and the no-sign-out-front mystique only adds to the payoff.
