One Harvest. One Vintage. No Second Chance.
Set in one of the world's most closely watched wine regions, Stem & Barrel is an intimate, cinematic documentary that follows three acclaimed Napa Valley wineries through a single harvest season — a defining moment that touches every part of the work, from vineyard to cellar to guest experience.
With rare access to the people behind the process, the film reveals how each winery moves through the season in its own way — balancing craft, hospitality, mentorship, and legacy while upholding a world-class reputation built by generations before them.
Across early mornings in the vineyard, long days in the cellar, and moments shared with guests, each piece of the season is connected — and every decision shapes what comes next.
Because in Napa Valley, harvest isn’t just about making wine — it’s about carrying something forward.

Meet The Winemakers
Nate Weis
Senior Winemaker & General Manager, Beaulieu Vineyard
For Nate Weis, this harvest marks a turning point. Stepping into his role at one of Napa Valley’s most storied estates, he leads his team through a season of transition — while crafting his first vintage of Georges de Latour Private Reserve and leading a historic winery renovation. It’s a moment shaped by legacy, where each decision contributes to what comes next.
Jon Priest
Senior Winemaker & General Manager, Etude
For Jon Priest, Pinot Noir begins long before harvest — shaped in the vineyard through careful decisions over time. At Grace Benoist Ranch, his work is as much about guiding the fruit as it is about guiding people, opening his world to interns from around the globe. Through that exchange, knowledge is passed on, and the future of the region quietly takes shape.
Todd Graff
Senior Winemaker & General Manager, Frank Family Vineyards
For Todd Graff, Chardonnay is only part of the equation. At Frank Family Vineyards, the expectation extends beyond the cellar — into an experience defined by hospitality, precision, and consistency. As harvest unfolds, that philosophy is put to the test, where every detail, from vineyard to table, must align.
