Halloween is always a cause for celebration at Flora Springs. After all, with one of the few remaining Napa Valley Ghost Wineries in Napa Valley, we are constantly reminded that there are phantoms and spirits who walked here before us. For the last decade we’ve paid tribute to our ghostly history by producing special Halloween wine bottles, which have become some of our most anticipated and highly sought after annual releases.
Whether you’re fully ready to get your spooky on with all of your friends or just looking to amp up a chill hang, we worked some magic to round up a few tips to conjure up a spooktacular Halloween.
At-Home Halloween Party Inspiration
1) Cast Your Spell With These Bewitching Halloween Wines
Treat yourself and your guests with our one-of-a-kind Halloween-themed labels. Order early, as these limited-edition wines sell out quickly—plus, shipping may take longer this year. See this year’s spooky selections.
“With Halloween fast approaching, treat yourself to special bottles from Flora Springs. This iconic Napa Valley winery celebrates every Halloween with flair. This collectable bottle changes annually, but for each Halloween-themed label the winery’s General Manager, Nat Komes, collaborates with a variety of artists. Marc Sasso, an artist from New York known for comics, skateboards, and album covers, designed this “witches at a party” label. The sumptuously sleek wine inside is made with Cabernet Franc (the Good Witch of red grape varieties). It showcases dark berry fruit, mineral notes, and a supple texture for a serious wine with a whimsical touch.” Read more. —Leslie Sbrocco, San Francisco Bay Times

5) Experiment With a Different Color Palette
Look to unique sources—like our 2019 All Hallows’ Eve Cabernet Franc label—and go beyond orange and black.

Flora Springs has partnered with Riva Cucina for a Glass Fire relief Halloween event. Get your Trick or Treat on at Flora Springs’ Halloween Dinner Curbside Pickup event at our tasting room in St. Helena. No one does Halloween like Flora Springs, and with the holiday on a Saturday this year, we want to make sure you celebrate safely and in style!
Plus, 35% of proceeds will be going to victims of The Glass Fire through the Napa Valley Community Disaster Relief Fund.
The Event
We’re offering an Italian fall feast catered by Chef Massimiliano Boldrini. Boldrini is a native of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, Yountville resident, Napa Valley caterer, and owner of highly-acclaimed Riva Cucina in Berkeley. Boldrini’s hometown, Ferrara, is known for its Cappellacci Ferraresi, a recipe dating back to 1584 that was created for the Este family, who ruled the city for centuries. These hat-shaped pasta pouches are filled with butternut squash, or Zucca Violina, a variety that owes its name to the elongated shape similar to the musical instrument. Chef Massi has reinvented this recipe in a lasagna format for an easy at-home Halloween preparation. Our suggested wine pairings for the evening are the acclaimed 2019 Soliloquy and 2018 Ghost Winery Malbec.
Wine Club Manager Madeline Nossiter, Private Client Ambassador James Porter and others will be on-site to wish you a Happy Halloween. Whether you’re staying in for Halloween this year or need a convenient meal for your trick or treaters, this is a devilishly delicious option.
