THE GUIDE I WINE 101 ST. HELENA Steward of the Valley It began on back country roads and among the vines. The son of a Napa Valley pioneer spent hours and days in the vineyards during every growing season, cultivating deep roots. Brought up to respect the land and its fruit, Tuck Beckstoffer sought out viticulture first and later moved into the craft of winemaking. As one of a few who is both a grower and a winemaker, Tuck's approach begins with the land itself, and culminates with a reverence for the winemaking traditions of the past - sharing successes and failures among fellow crafters and appreciating the fruits of their labor over a beautiful bottle of wine. Tuck Beckstoffer Estate opened in 2016, offering intimate tours and private tastings as a way to connect visitors to the land and share the knowledge of how grape growing translates into every bottle. The tradition continues as Tuck raises his children in the same way that he was raised - as stewards among the vines. tuckbeckstoffer.com Btuckbeckstofferwines | 70 Vtuckbeckstofferestate | Atuckb VISITNAPAVALLEY.COM | 2020http://www.tuckbeckstoffer.com http://www.VISITNAPAVALLEY.COM
