Twenty Rows

Specialties

The Twenty Rows experience is like no other in the Napa Valley. Owned by the Nuss family, we bring our guests a warm funky; yet, chic wine experience. We specialize in making Napa Valley wines you can drink every day.

Twenty Rows is a small family owned and operated winery and tasting room located in downtown Napa. The Nuss family would love for you to join them at the only working winery and tasting room in down town Napa. Our Cabernet Sauvignon received the Food and Wine: American Wine Award for the best bottle of Cabernet under $ 20 for our 2004 and 2006 vintages.

Join us for our Nap Town to Mo Town special event at the winery on June 30^th from 4 – 7, for great food, wine and fun!

Over the last 28 years Brian and Lori Nuss have developed an intimate knowledge of growing Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc on the rugged, hillside slopes of Mount Veeder and are dedicated to creating wines that reflect the true expression of the Mount Veeder appellation.

History

Established in 2003.

Twenty Rows has been making exceptional wines since 2003; however, the doors to our tasting room opened in February 2010.

However, Brian and Lori Nuss the owners and operators of Twenty Rows are no strangers to the the Napa Valley and the wine industry. Brian is a self taught vitner and has been growing and cultivating vines in the Napa Valley since 1989. Lori has managed some of the finest houses in the wine Country from the restaurant at the Sonoma Mission Inn to catering events for Sutter Home Winery. In 1998 their dream came true and they started their own wine label Vinoce from their small plot of land a top Mt. Veeder in the Napa Valley. Their first vintage was a 1996 Vinoce Mt. Veeder Blend. They started 20Rows in 2003 and it is named after the original 20 rows it was sourced from. Brian and Lori love what they do and they would love for you to come and enjoy some of their fruits of labor with them at their Twenty Rows Tasting Room and winery in down town Napa.
