Why We Recommend Faust

Faust stands out for its juxtaposition of a historic St. Helena landmark with the edgy character of its Coombsville estate fruit. It successfully balances a moody aesthetic with high-caliber winemaking, proving that Napa Cabernet can be both intellectually stimulating and incredibly stylish.

Why Visit

  • Tour the beautifully restored historic Victorian
  • Taste bold Cabernet from cool-climate Coombsville
  • Experience the flagship The Pact bottling
  • Enjoy an edgy, artistic tasting atmosphere
  • Discover unique wines with volcanic minerality

Good to Know

Faust is best known for its flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, The Pact, produced from volcanic soils in southernmost Napa Valley.

The main tasting room, Faust Haus, is located in a historic Victorian building in St. Helena.

Why Visit Faust?

You have to see the Faust Haus in person; the restoration of this Victorian home is absolutely stunning and provides the perfect backdrop for their intense wines. It’s the kind of place where the atmosphere is just as compelling as the flagship 'The Pact' Cabernet in your glass.

"We have been coming to Faust every time we go to Napa for 4 years now. We love the wine, we love the Faust House and we love the staff. Everyone is welcoming. The views of the valley are peaceful. The patio and surrounding gardens are so relaxing. There are so many places on the property to enjoy! The wine tastings always come with the best snack boxes too."
