While many Napa wines and vineyards are fully accessible to the general public, some of the most esteemed labels and rare wines are much more difficult to purchase or even taste. Fortunately, the K.

Laz Wine Collection is giving wine lovers insider access to over 500 wine labels, including some of the rarest and most coveted bottles in all of Napa.

Offering tastings at two separate Napa Valley locations, as well as a wine club and online store selling a varied and carefully curated collection of reds, wines, rosé, and sparkling wines, the K. Laz Wine Collection can give you a glimpse behind the curtain to sample, savor, and enjoy some of Napa Valley’s greatest ever wines.
