Stag's Leap Wine Cellars is a winery founded by Warren Winiarski in 1970 and based in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, California.
A different version was of a stag who evaded an entire generation of hunters by leaping and vanishing at the last moment. The history of viticulture in Stags Leap goes back to 1878, when Terill L. Grigsby established the area's first winery called Occidental Winery.
Stags Leap District became an officially designated AVA (American Viticultural Area) in 1989. To use the appellation on a label, wineries must use 85 percent fruit grown within the district. The district is located five miles north of the town of Napa, and east of the Napa River, along the Silverado Trail.
