Diamonds, Sunshine & Wine

The Padis Jewelry and Tasting Room in downtown Napa is quickly becoming the ideal destination for a weekend visit by pairing the experience of fine jewelry shopping, Swiss timepieces, and wine tasting – a little something for everyone! Nestled among First Street’s fantastic restaurants, luxury shopping and tasting rooms, and just down the street from Oxbow Public Market, Padis Jewelry Napa boasts a 4000 sq. ft. jewelry and wine tasting experience, located next to the Andaz hotel. 

Less than an hour drive away from Blackhawk, downtown Napa has become the “tasting room capital of the world” with over 55 tasting rooms within a few blocks featuring tasting room experiences with Napa Valley staples such as Alpha Omega and Vineyard 29. 

The Napa Padis location features an enormous selection of sought-after designers like Tacori and Breitling, as well as one of California’s largest collections of Verragio and Forevermark diamonds, which are ethically-sourced and traced from mine to finger. 

Additionally, the location offers a first-of-its-kind unique co-branded experience with the Padis Wine Tasting Lounge + Breitling Bar. The lounge shares the story of the Padis wine and Breitling, the top tier Swiss timepiece brand with a number of monumental moments in watch-making history. 

The Padis tasting lounge is the first public wine offering for the family. The Padis Vineyards property yields Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot fruit, and the label produces roughly 3000 cases of wine per year. Current offerings include an oak-barreled Chardonnay from Carneros, a red blend called Sintilation – a play on the gemological term “scintillation” which describes the sparkle of a diamond and a nod to the jewelry roots of the Padis family – and the crown jewel, a 100% estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon. 

With acclaimed winemaker Robert Foley at the helm of production and regular 90+ point ratings, Padis wine has a classic and timeless Napa Valley profile, with bold cabs, luscious Chardonnays and blends that drink smoothly. The tasting room offers current releases as well as library and reserve tastings as well. The beautiful weather and temperate climate on the wine tasting patio is a wonderful way to relax, and the people watching in the area never disappoints. 

There is also complimentary parking at the Clay Street garage to make shopping even more convenient. We look forward to welcoming you to our location at 1400 First Street in Napa for all of your wine and fine jewelry needs!
