Focused on the finest craft wine and food program in the Napa Valley, B Cellars is committed to the artisan approach, creating perfectly balanced and complex wine. In the kitchen, the
B Cellars culinary team works with products from our garden as well as with local purveyors to create the perfect pairing on the plate.
Jim Borsack and Duffy Keys discovered their shared taste in wine in 2002. With Kirk Venge, they built B Cellars on two absolute principals: producing artisan wines season after season and developing distinct flavors by blending wines from mutually complementary varietals.

Led by our Master Winemaker Kirk Venge and Associate Winemaker Derek Taylor, B Cellars produces exceptional small production wines season after season by employing a multi-vineyard strategy. Kirk and Derek develop distinct flavors by blending wines from mutually complementary varietals. Working with exceptional growers in Napa and Sonoma, B Cellars has created a portfolio of wines that reflect the diversity of the area.
Our hand-crafted dishes are made from scratch using materials primarily grown on site. From our stone fruit orchards, olive trees, and culinary gardens to our hen house, we are proud to serve our guests nothing but the freshest ingredients. Our bee apiary also helps contribute to the health of our vineyards and strengthens the local bee community while giving us amazing honey to share with our guests.
Kitchen
B Cellars Vineyards and Winery is one of great distinction. We strive for pure excellence, always looking for ways to achieve and maintain that excellence. Whether that be finding new vineyards of great pedigree, exploring new cooperage, or acquiring new equipment to make the operation more sound and efficient, while improving wine quality. We have an eternal curiosity and always ask ourselves questions.
B Cellars embraces the fact that winemaking is scientific, but we are weighted a little heavier on the artistic side of the spectrum, trusting our intuitions, senses, and experiences to make crucial decisions throughout the winemaking process. We now produce over 15 wines that are each purpose built, unique to each other, and nearly reaching our standard of pure excellence.

Seward Johnson initially became widely known for his sculptures depicting people engaged in every day activities. Johnson’s desire to highlight the mundane in his Celebrating the Familiar sculpture series has brought a unique voice to the world of art in public spaces.
