Oakville, CA – [February 25, 2025] – Groth Vineyards & Winery is thrilled to announce the launch of an exciting new event that combines the magic of nature with the luxury of Groth wines—a weekend adventure in Yosemite National Park, taking place from July 18-20, 2025.
Camping has always been a cherished tradition in the Groth family—a way to disconnect from the fast pace of everyday life, explore new places, and create lasting memories that bridge generations. Now, for the first time, Groth invites its Wine Club Members and guests to experience that tradition in one of the country’s most iconic and awe-inspiring destinations: Yosemite National Park.
“By the 1990’s my parents had a 25’ RV and they would hit the road for 2 weeks every summer with Glacier Park, Yellowstone, or Banf as the destination,” explained Suzanne Groth, the winery’s second-generation President & CEO. “This was before cell phones were common and they really did not share details or itineraries with me, my siblings, or even the management team at the winery. Their motto was ‘no news is good news.’ They loved the freedom from day-to-day worrying about work and it was the best way for them to relax. They insisted on packing up a case or 2 of their Cabernet along with some wine from the neighbors. Eventually, they would head home when they were tired of driving or ran out of wine.”
Explore, Unwind, and Connect in Yosemite
Yosemite is renowned for its towering granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and lush meadows. From the moment you arrive, its beauty will take your breath away. This unique weekend experience begins with a half-day guided exploration of Yosemite Valley, where you’ll take in panoramic views of the park’s most famous landmarks. Afterward, you’ll have the opportunity to venture off on your own and discover the hidden gems of the park that call to you. Whether you’re seeking tranquility or adventure, Yosemite has something to offer everyone.
Where Adventure Meets Luxury
For this exclusive event, guests will enjoy a stay at Autocamp Yosemite, where nature meets luxury in the form of stylish 31-foot Airstreams. Nestled just outside the entrance to Yosemite National Park, Autocamp is the perfect basecamp for a weekend of relaxation and adventure. With luxurious amenities in the heart of the great outdoors, guests can enjoy the beauty of nature without sacrificing comfort.
A New Tradition with Groth
As a family-owned winery, Groth has always valued traditions that create lasting memories, and this new event launch aims to foster that same spirit of adventure and connection. Whether you’re

About Groth Vineyards & Winery
Dennis and Judy Groth made a life-changing investment in 1981 when they bought a vineyard on Oakville Cross Road, in the heart of Napa Valley, with hopes it would produce world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. It didn’t take long for their intuition to be proven right. Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate gave the Groth 1985 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon the distinction of being California’s first 100-point wine.
Today, with Dennis and Judy’s daughter, Suzanne Groth, as President & CEO, Groth sustainably farms two estates totaling 165 acres with the dual goals of producing the highest-quality, most elegant wines we can while caring for our estate for future generations. The winery produces critically acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay.
