The Duckhorn Collection at Paraduxx
The room on Silverado Trail outside Yountville is not Paraduxx any more. It pours across the Duckhorn Collection now, from a $50 Pinot Noir flight to a $150 food pairing.
Why go
Know what you are booking first. The winery says in its own words that the space formerly known simply as Paraduxx
has become The Duckhorn Collection in the same building, so the pin's name and the door's name no longer match.1 What is on sale now runs across the group. Terroir and Tradition is a Pinot Noir flight built around the sites the fruit comes from, $50, up to four people.1 The Duckhorn Vineyards Flight is five current releases at the same price for up to six.1 Gather and Graze puts wine and food on the table family-style for $150 a head, and the Legacy Flight pours the first Legacy Collection release for $100; both add 20 percent service.1 Whether the old Paraduxx blend is still made, I cannot tell you, because the winery's own pages gave up no text.
Order this / avoid
- Order: Terroir and Tradition. A flight organized by site rather than by label is the one that teaches you something.1
- Avoid: booking Gather and Graze or the Legacy Flight for one. Both start at two guests.1
- Avoid: being surprised by the bill. The 20 percent service charge on the top two formats is on top of the prepaid fee.1
What locals & experts say
- The Duckhorn Collection, on its own rename:
Located along Napa Valley's Silverado Trail right outside the town of Yountville, our inviting space – formerly known simply as Paraduxx – has evolved into The Duckhorn Collection within the same beautiful setting.
1 - The same page, on the Pinot flight:
This tasting is all about Pinot Noir and the places that shape it.

That is the group describing its own room. I read nothing from outside it on these wines, so I have no outside call for you.
Good to know
- No hours are published on the route that answered. Everything is prepaid and booked ahead through Tock, so the reservation is the hours.
- The 50th anniversary belongs to Duckhorn Vineyards, the group's other winery, not to this address.
- Hygiene: not established. No inspection instrument for this county is on file here.
Verdict
could-visit — The name on the pin is not the name on the door any more. The room outside Yountville that was Paraduxx now trades as The Duckhorn Collection and pours across the group's labels, which the venue says itself, so a reader who came for one blend should know before they book. What is on sale is straightforward and priced: $50 for a Pinot Noir flight built around the sites it comes from, $50 for the Duckhorn Vineyards five, $100 for the Legacy release and $150 for a family-style food pairing, with 20 percent service on the top two. Nothing establishes whether the old Paraduxx blend is still made, because the winery's own pages gave up no text. Go for the group tasting it now is rather than the single-estate room it was.
