“This is a winery tasting room located on the first floor of a hotel. First thing I noticed was how awkwardly tiny the room is. Literally 1 tall shared table with about 6 high chairs. Only 1 staff. Expect to sit next to or across of strangers and have everyone hear your conversation Our wine guide Russell was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. They have 2 options for wine tasting. Either 3 of their core wines for $25 or 3 of their flagship wines for $50. I think the pricing for the wine tastings is poorly set up. At their actual winery, it's $65 for 5 wines but you get an intimate experience, top notch service, and beautiful Napa architecture and vineyard ambiance. That's normal and fair for Napa area. Here, it's just a tasting room and you are forced to select a cheaper mostly white wine tasting or an expensive mostly red wine tasting. I would have loved to try both, but I'm not paying $75 for 6 wines. That's Napa prices without the Napa atmosphere. But it is nice that will waive a tasting fee for every $150 purchase The wines themselves were pretty solid. High quality wines made pretty much the same way since their Judgement of Paris days. Wines are complex, but not super bold Overall, its a poor wine tasting experience due to the size of the establishment and set up of their wine tasting menu. However, the wines and service are good. Only worth a visit if you are very thirsty for wine, otherwise, I'm sure the experience will be much better at their Calistoga location”
