“We visited with Tom today and had a great experience. We thoroughly enjoyed his openness while discussing his small vineyard, his challenges and successes. He produces some phenomenal wines, and we will always remember this experience. Glad we were able to visit and support what makes Howell Mountain so special. we will look forward to enjoying these wines for many years.”
“I had heard this is one of the best wineries in Napa Valley, and that turned out to be absolutely true. It’s one of the most visually stunning places I’ve ever visited—rolling hills, beautiful vineyards, and incredible architecture. The tour was absolutely worth it. Nancy was fantastic: extremely entertaining, informative, and clearly very knowledgeable about the winery’s history and its wines. As for the tasting, everything was excellent, and we ended up purchasing several bottles—it was well worth it. The quality is outstanding, and I would absolutely come back again.”
“We have been wanting to go to Bravante Vineyards for some time now as we recently were gifted their 2017 Merlot, which we absolutely loved. Jeff was our host and he was incredibly knowledgeable and such a pleasure to chat with. We felt like we had known him forever. All of Bravante’s wines were delicious and we couldn’t help but purchase a case of their reds to take home. We also joined their wine club. We live locally and are looking forward to our next visit. Thanks for your stellar hospitality Jeff!”

The Food:
Shrimp Cocktail: Very well prepared and delicious.
Caesar Salad with Fried Chicken: A unique twist that is highly recommended.
Black Cod Rice Bowl: Excellent flavor; my wife thoroughly enjoyed it.
Service:
The staff were incredibly polite and attentive throughout our meal.
Verdict:
A fantastic Michelin-rated spot. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Calistoga!”

“The chef arrange amazing dishes, not too much mixed in too many ingredient but elaborated and sophisitcated. The tuna appetizer is spectacular and melt in your month, the cheese selection with just a little layer of honey and the local organic goat cheese, the duck everything was sublime. Amazing wine selection also by glass. A mix of tasting with European influence , very light and spices used with proper accuracy .Definetivelly deserve a star it is a waste not to stop here”
“We love Roman! He is the most approachable, unpretentious guide. He leans into relationship, beauty, and nature. Conversation flows. We’ve requested Roman over and over. He is delightful, knowledgeable and kind. He makes the experience. We are wine members because of him, and the wine is just so, so good. Every wine is rooted in Roman and Fantesca! He IS the face of Fantesca. We couldn’t love this experience more.”

“Friendly service and food was amazing.”
“An absolute gem of a winery—graceful, inviting, and memorable in all the right ways.
Our group—six adults and one very content 10-month-old (we called ahead to be sure he was welcome)—settled in effortlessly and were rewarded with an experience that felt both relaxed and refined. We chose the veranda, where the view opened onto a lush garden alive with movement. Between sips, we caught glimpses of hummingbirds darting like jewels, butterflies drifting lazily, and even the occasional chipmunk making a curious appearance.
Our hostess guided us through the $50 tasting with warmth and expertise, bringing each of the five wines to life with just the right balance of knowledge and ease. Every pour impressed—distinct, expressive, and genuinely enjoyable. And the thoughtful touch of applying the tasting fee toward bottle purchases? That sealed the deal. Each couple left with at least two bottles in hand—a testament to both the quality of the wine and the smart, guest-friendly approach.
Inside, a wall of glass reveals rows upon rows of barrels stretching into the distance, a quiet reminder of the craftsmanship behind every glass. You can wander through this space via the gift shop, adding another layer to the experience.
A place that manages to feel both elevated and welcoming—I’d return without hesitation.”
“My parents have been club members since 2003 so we come here often. We came in for my dad’s birthday and had an amazing time. The young woman who poured for us, Melissa, was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and conversational, no rehearsed monologue that’s written on the menu. Remembered likes and dislikes and geared our tastings individually. She also brought my dad an extra special pour to celebrate. Great time!”
“Great tour with David. We learned so much! The wine selection was fabulous.”
“Really enjoy our experience today. Dana was absolutely lovely 😊”
“Great tasting experience. I’ve always enjoyed Nickel & Nickel wine, but was a bit skeptical heading into the on-site experience as I’ve been let down by a fair number of Napa wineries. Ultimately, I was super pleased. It was informative without being preachy. By the end I understood a lot more about the different vineyards in the N&N portfolio and I enjoyed all of them. Joe hosted us and he was great. his discretionary pours were selected based on our feedback from the initial wines and were spot-on. Also, the space was great - we were able to sip at our own pace and didn’t feel rushed at all. Will be back.”

“The tasting experience was amazing, and our host was so wonderful—warm, energetic, and genuinely passionate about the wines, which made the whole experience even more fun. The views were unreal, easily some of the best in Napa, and the value of the tasting was hands-down the best we found.
We loved the wines so much that we ended up buying several bottles, which waived the tasting fees and made it an even better deal. Everything from the service to the scenery to the wine itself exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend a visit to Rombauer—truly a must-stop in Napa.”

“Made a reservation here for lunch while visiting Calistoga. We didn’t stay at this property but it was great to check out! Located at the Solage resort by the pool, you can’t sit by the pool (only for resort guests). We started with a round of tequila shots and ordered some drinks, I think I got the green flash. We got items to share for a party of 5. Elote, hearts of romaine salad, ceviches, squid/calamari. So fresh and so good. We did a. Variety of tacos— quesabirria, crispy avocado, and fish tacos. We devoured our meal it was so fresh and delicious! For dessert we got the churros and chocolate, flan, tres leches French toast, and Mangonada. Really good, service was good. Our server was super kind and friendly. It’s also such a relaxing and beautiful area while enjoying lunch by the pool on a nice and hot day. There’s hotel parking and not too far from the Calistoga festivities.”
“Moim zdaniem najlepsze wina w Napa. Bardzo miła i pomocna obsługa, która z uwaga wsłuchuje się w oczekiwania gości!”

“Arkenstone is truly the height of Howell Mountain wine experiences. The property is perched like a falcon overlooking the valley. The staff and tasting room experience are exceptionally detailed and accommodating. You truly will not want to leave and they may just have to kick you out screaming. Absolutely use some of your time to walk the vineyards and the caves. I have been a member for several years and they have never disappointed.”
