Just like wine, art has the power to evoke emotion and deep reflection. It’s a shared human experience to gravitate towards both, and our Tasting Gallery is an opportunity to experience the sensory delight that the two can uniquely create together.
Wine Art Gallery at Jessup Cellars
Our exhibits showcase a variety of established and regional artists. We see a deep connection between an artist’s sense of place in the world and a wine’s expression of flavor and texture.
The world of the artist is their community, upbringing, early influences, trials and tribulations, and inspirations. These elements act as their terroir, and with the intentional use of a medium, a story that only one person has the ability to tell is born.
Our Tasting Gallery is a place where you can experience these very stories. We invite you to consider the artistic elements of wine country with wine as a medium and witness the many different ways that a landscape can be expressed.
Current Gallery Feature: Jermaine Danté
This summer, experience the work of our resident artist, Jermaine Danté. As a resident of Napa valley, Danté’s artwork is a perfect embodiment of the symbiotic relationship between art and wine.
A certified sommelier, Danté captures the essence of wine country in many of his pieces. With bold colors, dynamic composition, and stunning detail, Danté additionally paints pop culture icons and esoteric pieces that consider themes of liberation, freedom, nature, and love.
Come by to see his art on display this summer and enjoy a glass of wine as you stroll through the wine art gallery.
Wine and art enthusiasts welcome
There is a place where the two best things in life coexist, and it can be found here at Jessup Cellars. We share your passion for wine and art and hope that you are as excited to experience both in one place as we are.
A visit to the Tasting Gallery is a fully immersive sensory experience—as you sip and savor the aromas of our red blends and single-varietal wines, such as Chardonnay, Petite Sirah, or Zinfandel, take in the colors and subjects of our artist-in-residence and consider what it evokes in you.
Wine and art alike can invoke feeling, memory, and self-reflection. Both mediums allow us to enter into conversations about culture, tradition, and the nature of the world we live in. Both can ignite a sense of wonder, awe, and surprise. Both involve intentional choices by the artist and winemaker, informed by a lifelong practice of creating and evolving.
And perhaps most important of all, both are good for the soul and a part of what makes life enjoyable.
