2025 has been a truly special year for us at Frank Family Vineyards. From recognition for our wines to honors for our team and our commitment to hospitality, it’s a year worth celebrating. Over the years, we’ve become known for our classic renditions of Napa Valley Cabernets and Chardonnays, and this year’s accolades remind us why we do what we do: craft quality wines, create meaningful experiences, and connect with visitors from near and far.
To mark the occasion and thank our loyal following, Frank Family Vineyards will offer a complimentary “Accolades of the Estate” tasting from December 1–31, 2025 (Sunday through Thursday) at our Calistoga tasting room. The gesture is a nod to our early days as one of Napa Valley’s last tasting rooms to offer complimentary tastings, reflecting our founding philosophy that no one is a customer; everyone is a guest.
This year, our commitment to excellence has been recognized on both national and local stages. Sunset Magazine’s 2025 Travel Awards named us a winner in the Top Tastings category, highlighting our Calistoga tasting room as a must-visit destination in Napa Valley. USA Today’s “10BEST” awards ranked our acclaimed wine club among the nation’s best, celebrating more than three decades of fostering meaningful connections with our members.
Closer to home, the Napa Valley Register named us Best Winery in its Napa Valley’s Finest 2025 awards. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat’s “Best of Napa County Awards” recognized us across multiple categories, including Best Winemaker (Todd Graff), Best Zinfandel, Best Wine Club, and Best Overall Winery.
“These reader-driven awards are incredibly meaningful and a true testament to the community that continues to embrace us,” said Founder Rich Frank. “For more than 30 years, guests have been at the heart of everything we do, and we are sincerely grateful for their support.”
“These recognitions reflect the dedication of our vineyard and cellar teams, our hospitality staff, and our loyal guests who return year after year,” added Senior Winemaker and General Manager Todd Graff. “Since our first vintage, we’ve been committed to making world-class wines and offering memorable experiences that bring people together. It’s deeply rewarding to see that commitment celebrated.”
We hope to see you this holiday season to share our award-winning wines and hospitality!
