⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit Winery with Incredible Wine and Even Better Hospitality!
Let’s start with the fact that we may have gotten a little lost on the way (who knew Google Maps wasn’t a sommelier?), but thankfully, our host at CADE Estate Winery welcomed us with open arms and a full glass—exactly how every great experience should begin.
From the first sip to the last, the wines were chef’s kiss perfection. I wanted to revisit so many of them that I briefly considered “accidentally” getting lost again just for a second tasting. Each pour was better than the last, making it dangerously easy to forget time existed.
But the real star of the show? Our host. If winery tours were a sport, they’d be the MVP. Charming, knowledgeable, and so engaging that we could have sat there for hours, sipping and soaking in every story about the estate.
If you’re putting together a Napa tour list, CADE needs to be on it. Just don’t trust your GPS too much—getting lost might just be part of the experience!

I had high hopes for CADE Estate Winery, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the reputation. The biggest letdown was the service—our host seemed uninterested and rushed through the tasting without providing much insight into the wines or the estate. It felt like they were just going through the motions rather than creating a memorable experience.
As for the wines, they were surprisingly mediocre, especially given the high prices. The reds lacked depth and balance, and I’ve had much better Cabernet Sauvignons in Napa for a fraction of the price. The tasting fee was outrageously expensive for what we got, and it certainly didn’t feel like a good value.
The views are beautiful, but that’s about the only highlight. Given the underwhelming service and overpriced wines, I wouldn’t recommend CADE. There are far better wineries in Napa where you’ll get a much more enjoyable and welcoming experience.

Cade provided the best view of any of the vineyards/wineries in the area. Howell mountain provided a scenic drive up to the top where Cade delivered with a high end feel. Emmett was our host and he gave us a great tasting full of good insight as well as a comprehensive tour of their winery. Savs and Cabs are their specialty and it is quite obvious they know their specialty. All the wines we tasted were delicious and kept us wanting more!

Breathtaking! Our morning tasting came with an amazing view, perfect weather, the best seat in front of the gravity pond, unbelievable wine…and Jesse! Our tour of the property, seeing the wine making process and how it happens, and the tour of the caves were spectacular. The wine was superb. Thank you Jesse for making this visit one of our favorites during our visit to the Napa Valley.

Phenomenal experience from start to finish. The tasting room and estate are beautifully designed. The wine is superb which matches the customer experience! Emmett & team were friendly, knowledge and knew how to make the tasting feel personalized!

We visited the 13th Vineyard at Cade yesterday for the first time. We had an incredible experience with Jesse as our wine educator. He took us through the vineyard, the facility, and the cellar. We learned how to smell different notes of wine and got to taste some of the grapes! He is originally from Michigan, so we formed an immediate connection as we are from Michigan! I would highly recommend the 13th to all of my friends! Very excited to visit again the next time we are back.

The views from Cade were fantastic. Nancy was very welcoming, giving us a tour of the wine cellars and sharing insights into the winemaking process. The wines were excellent. I’d definitely visit again.
Worth the trip off the beaten path! The view on a clear day is truly amazing! Emmet was a wonderful host, and we found his personality fun and engaging. He brought us into the caves, and did a nice job at explaining the process and answering our questions. The wine is awesome, of course!! The depth of their reds is really something...
