Missouri Hopper Vineyard
Day 3 will feature one of Napa Valley’s old
est vineyards, Missouri Hopper, first planted to vines in 1873 by Charles “Napa Charlie” Hopper, who purchased 640 acres from George C. Yount
and gave 100 acres to his daughter, Missouri, who made a business from growing grapes. Located north of Yountville in the Oakville appellation, the land was sold in 1960 to Bruce Kekham and in 1996 to Andy Beckstoffer, who named it Missouri Hopper in honor of the woman who made the vineyard famous. Although there
is no public access to the 36-acre vineyard, it will be accessible to guests during the Day 3 tour, on Friday, June 12, 2015.
