Alternating Proprietorships

Napa Wine Company is host to 24 alternating proprietors, Click here for more information. Producers who plan to make wine for commercial purposes, but are not interested in or are in the process of building or buying a winery of their own, our facility can be the “host” winery for their bonded premises. We are one of the very few that the TTB (Department of the Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) has allowed this number of alternating proprietors – companies with their own bond who share our production facility. Many of the “Cult Wines” today are or have been Alternating Proprietors at Napa Wine Company.

“We have enjoyed and appreciated our relationship with the Napa Wine Company since our first crush with them in 1994. The Alternating Proprietorship, pioneered by the Napa Wine Company, is a perfectly matched program for a small grower/producer such as Lamborn.  We have the benefit of the finest equipment, a talented and team-oriented operating staff, who have always provided the Lamborn's & winemaker Heidi Barrett, with support & attention to every detail.  How many other 1700 case a year wine producers have the luxury of a tasting room on highway 29? ….or for that matter, a helpful, friendly staff of dozens of people?   It just doesn’t get any better!    Thanks NWC.”
