Marriot - Nappa Valley - Hotel & Spa 

 

Provenance Vineyards is located in the town of Rutherford, California on St. Helena Highway just north of the historic Beaulieu Vineyard. The Provenance tasting room is a welcoming spot in the Napa Valley.

 

They are open daily, 10:30am to 5:30pm, except for major holidays. Appointments are not necessary but appreciated for groups over six.

The word 'Provenance' (rhymes with renaissance) is derived from the French language, and means "origin," or "source."

 

A provenance is the record of ownership of a piece of art from its creation to the present. Connoisseurs use a provenance as a guarantee of a work's authenticity. The name reflects their goal of producing fine wines that are authentic works of art. In geology, provenance is the source of materials that make up an area's sediment. The origin of a vineyard's soil is critical since the soil drives the wine's quality, flavors and aromas, eclipsing viticulture and winemaking differences.
