The Dakota Shy Story
Dakota Shy is more than a winery; it's the story of a remarkable team united by a passion for the wines, history, and vineyards of Napa Valley.
Our journey began in 2012 when friends and business partners, Tom Garrett and Todd Newman, combined their extensive experience under renowned winemaking legends to create their own legacy in Napa Valley. They set out with a bold vision to craft wines that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the world's best. This dream expanded into establishing a premier winery estate in the heart of Napa Valley and forging partnerships with 16 exceptional Napa vineyards.
As the first chapter of their dream was realized, Todd Newman pursued new ventures, while winemaker Tom Garrett continues to lead our dedicated team, propelling Dakota Shy to even greater heights.
With deep roots in Napa Valley and over a decade of producing outstanding Cabernets, Tom Garrett remains committed to elevating the quality of our wines and delivering unparalleled hospitality to every visitor at Dakota Shy.
Dakota Shy embodies the American Dream. From humble beginnings, we've built an extraordinary business that supports our families, brings joy, and creates lasting memories for our Dakota Shy family across the nation. Join us on our 2025 wine cruise and become a part of this inspiring journey.
