Vine Cliff Estate of today is an exquisite mountainside property located on land which was once part of the original George C. Yount estate. Noteworthy locals George Burrage and Thomas Tucker purchased the site for Vine Cliff Winery from the Yount Estate in 1871 (five years after Yountâs death). Burrage and Tucker built Vine Cliff into what appears to be the largest winery in the Napa Valley.
