Garrett Hales & Spring Mountain Vineyard ~ Napa Valley Insider Podcast

BySpring Mountain District

In episode forty-nine of the Napa Valley Insider podcast, Andrew sits down with Garret Hales, Estate Director at Spring Mountain Vineyard, one of Napa Valley’s most storied and secluded properties. Garret shares his journey from working the floor at The French Laundry to leading the revival of a 151-year-old estate perched above St. Helena. He dives into the challenges—and opportunities—of managing 900 acres of mountain terrain, the legacy of Spring Mountain’s Judgment of Paris moment, and the winery’s ambitious plans to blend luxury hospitality with deep historical roots. From ATV vineyard tours to century-old palms and a reimagined tasting experience, Garret gives listeners a glimpse of what’s next for this iconic mountain estate.
