Dutch Henry Winery is still the best secret in the Napa Valley. We’re a small family-owned and operated winery located on the original Silverado Trail in Calistoga. Established in 1992, the winery is owned and operated by the Chafen Family who has farmed the in the northern valley for over 26 years. Specializing in small lots of single vineyard wines, we’ve quietly earned a reputation for quality, passion in winemaking, and an easy-going approach to sharing our story with visitors. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Winemaker Scott Chafen
|
Scott’s initiation into the wine business began as forced labor on his father’s Massey Ferguson tractor. Many a vine suffered. Working his family’s vineyard in sleepy Calistoga soon led to stints as a cellar rat in a local winery where farming married production. Scott’s “learning curve” turned into a passion for the wine business. In 1990, Scott graduated from Occidental College with a B.A. in Philosophy and a minor in both Studio Art and Comparative Lit. After working a year in France Scott returned to Calistoga where he worked both in the vineyards and cellar of a local winery. By 1992 Dutch Henry Winery was ready to open its doors with Scott as winemaker. Since day one the winery has been owned and operated by the Chafen family with Scott at the Helm of every vintage. Scott prides himself on being a wine “grower” rather than a wine “maker,” reflecting his personal philosophy that wines are made in the vineyard, not the cellar. Scott regularly finds time to hike through the vineyards and hills of the Napa Valley. “Winemaking truly begins in the vineyard. That’s where the secrets all are...” |
