Welcome to Picayune Cellars
Located in the heart of the Napa Valley, Picayune Cellars is a small Napa winery dedicated to making wines of outstanding quality that are also exceptional values. French Native Claire Ducrocq Weinkauf, owner and winemaker, invites you to discover her take on the Napa lifestyle. The downtown Calistoga wine tasting room and extensive curated boutique welcomes you seven days a week.
"More often than not I refer to myself as a wine drinker before a winemaker. As a result, I only make wines that I am excited about and eager to drink and share personally! Stylistically, I embrace the purity and intensity of California fruit. I never drink only one glass of wine so I focus on juiciness, balance and finesse in the palate."
- Claire Weinkauf

" Can't say enough about what a great experience we have every time we come to Picayune! "– Ken (2023)
" A fantastic tasting experience and a cute shop to find great gifts. We were served a delicious lunch to pair with our wine, and the pot de creme capped it off in the most sinful way.. "– Rebecca (2023)
" The wine was excellent, the cheese and charcuterie were delicious, and Jay-Marie was a very friendly and knowledgeable host. Add to that a unique selection of souvenirs for sale, and it was a wonderfully memorable experience all around. They are also conveniently located in the midst of Calistoga with easy parking, so you can visit the neighboring businesses afterward if you like. "– Miles (2023)
"Had an 11 am tasting on a Saturday and enjoyed the variety from champagne to Cabernet. Our host was nice and curious about what wine we enjoyed. She provided us with a story of how the founder curates and finds wine to make."– Tracy (2022)
