Essential Purpose

Shepherding a new era for Napa Valley, Realm is powered by a team of innovators and practical dreamers, redefining how we consume, engage, and invest in wine. It is a fast-paced, entrepreneurial business that never rests on its laurels and challenges itself to achieve even higher levels of wine quality, excellence, and greatness. This new role has been created to acknowledge a new stage for Realm Cellars. The ideal candidate for this role has the unique opportunity to join a leading-edge wine company with a formidable track record for success. Realm has an ambitious vision, purpose, growth strategy, and an extremely motivated team.

The origin of Realm North begins with The Bard, a wine that could be considered our calling card. Of all the wines we make, The Bard is the most complex to produce as it requires both an intuitive feel for vineyards and a technical skill for blending. Last year, a rare opportunity emerged to lease a relatively new winemaking facility in Calistoga. Renamed Realm North, we outfitted the winery with the tools, technology and team necessary to provide a devoted home for The Bard. Just as The Bard is crafted to be approachable and accessible, we aim to nurture that same spirit with Tastings at Realm North. Guests at Realm North can expect to taste a flight of current release wines in a convivial communal setting. From time to time, we may feature library wines or wines that inspire us for a supplemental fee. We hope the experience fosters connections as fine wine makes fast friends.
