“Our visit to Tank this weekend was great as always. Patrick was super fun and shared a lot of knowledge with us. He also introduced us to the sister winery James Cole and gave a recommendation which I ended up loving at our tasting over there. Thanks again for the great experience Patrick!“

“Amazing service!! Thanks Stephanie!“

“They aren't kidding that this is a "local favorite". Everything we ordered was delicious and they were quite accommodating about me bringing my own, local wine. They also have an impressive business model worthy of support! I'm going back here next week! <3“

“Cole was awesome and loved the wine and of coarse the horses“

“Amazing service and great food! We felt very welcomed and appreciated“

“If you’re looking for a charming, welcoming winery in Napa Valley, Bennett Lane Winery is hands down one of my absolute favorites. It’s the one I personally have a membership with, and if I could recommend just one winery that delivers amazing value without breaking the bank, this would be it.

From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere feels warm and inviting. The property itself is incredibly cute, with a cozy indoor tasting space that feels intimate and relaxed, as well as a beautiful outdoor area that’s perfect for enjoying a glass of wine on a sunny afternoon. Whether you’re visiting with friends, family, or out on a date, it strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and special.

What truly sets Bennett Lane apart, though, is the staff. They are consistently kind, attentive, and genuinely accommodating even when it’s busy. You never feel rushed, and they take the time to answer questions, make recommendations, and ensure you’re having a great experience. That level of hospitality makes all the difference and keeps me coming back.

And of course, the wine speaks for itself. The wines are smooth, easy to drink, and overall just amazing. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or someone newer to tastings, their selections are approachable while still feeling high quality.

Between the great benefits of membership, the friendly service, the inviting setting, and delicious wines, Bennett Lane Winery is truly a local-approved gem. If you’re in the area and want a winery that feels both special and affordable, this is the place to go.“

“Your holiday guide/booklet of gifts for 2025 is fabulous and such a creative way of cataloguing your offerings. Bravo! It's fun to swipe through the pages and click on items to see them up close and purchase. What a pleasure to spend time leafing through it!“

“Beautiful property and amazing wine. Shelly hosted us and was so knowledgeable, friendly and patient. We joined the wine club - LOVED IT“

“We stopped by Chateau Montelena just to take photos since we didn’t have a tasting reservation. The property is absolutely beautiful — the castle-like building and the peaceful lake surrounded by trees make it feel like stepping into a fairytale. Even without tasting, it was worth the visit for the scenery alone. We’ll definitely come back next time with a reservation to experience their wine tasting!“

“The wine is amazing and different from rest of Napa. Cave was impressive but our tour guide Suzanne was okay, felt like she was rushing to be done. I asked her how does the wine flavor change with aging process, she said the flavor evolves over time just like any wine.“

“We have been here twice now. Both times, our experience felt personalized and special. The staff really made us feel like more than tourists. Some great stories behind the wines. Not to mention, the wines themselves are incredible. To top it all off, it’s a lovely property right in the middle of some BEAUTIFUL views of the valley. If you’re looking for a smaller, more intimate wine tasting experience, this is worth the stop.“

“Had the quiche and oh my so delish. LOVED IT the owner Paul came out and chatted with us. Customer service off the charts.“

“On my trip to to Napa …this was my FAVORITE winery! They put so much care, quality, and time into the wine they produce. I definitely will be joining one of their wine clubs. Their old world and personal touch to wine making BLEW my mind!!! Wineries like this is why I love and prefer small vineyards. Thank you for making my visit EXTREMELY MEMORABLE! N“

“The food was amazing. We got a variety of items and everything was sooo good. However, the server had a bit of an attitude which tainted the experience, which was supposed to be a celebratory meal for our group.“

“We had a lovely tasting with Laura here! She is very sweet and has a great story to tell about the vineyard and winery! I would definitely recommend making a reservation as it is a small operation. We were fortunate enough to walk in and she so graciously hosted us!“

“From vine, to winery, to barrel, to bottle — this all happens 100% in Jericho Canyon. This is how wine is meant to be made. I’m so glad I got to taste the real thing. And those views! Is this real life? Thank you Nick, Tara, and Snowflake, for making my time on the property unforgettable.“

“Tasty food, good drinks, very nice staff“

“We had a great family dinner for our Taco Tuesday replacement whilst on vacation, really good comfort food - the chicken quesadilla was something else! We were early so it was quiet, and enjoyed great friendly and quick service.“

“My wife and I visited Newton Napa Valley February 18, 2023. It was a private tasting hosted by a very knowledgeable, respectful and kind young man named Edgar Macias. Our entire experience, from greeting to our wine tasting with a splendid charcuterie, to our departure, was magnificent. My wife enjoyed the 2016 Mt. Veeder Cab and my favorite was the 2016 Spring Mountain Cab. We have been to Napa before but this experience at Newton was the best by far, for both of us. We learned so much from Edgar about the grape growing process, the vineyards and the climate for this batch of wine year 2016. I wanted to thank Mr. Macias for help making this tasting a memorable one. His hospitality is superior and we wish him the best! Newton makes a superb Chardonnay as well. If you are reading this review, I strongly recommend this vineyard/winery.“

“Went on a Monday afternoon to meet a friend while visiting the area. The outdoor seating is gorgeous with plenty of space, and we basically had the entire area to ourselves. The server for the wine tasting experience was great! He was very informative about all the different wines we had the pleasure of trying, and even gave us a bonus taste of a more aged wine. The price was average for a wine tasting experience, so overall it was a great time. Would definitely go again given the chance!“

“I definitely recommend coming here for lunch or dinner. The food was so delicious and everyone was so friendly and kind it was such a joyous experience. I ordered the basil chicken and it's some of the best basil chicken I have ever had. I like it really spicy and it was definitely on point. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the food here as I did.“

“We had a wonderful dinner there. Great menu, good wine selection, wonderful service. We shared arancini balls for an appetizer, a fantastic Napa salad with candied walnuts, apples and blue cheese, and then a Thai chicken pizza. We would get each one of these items a second time! It is our understanding they reopened with a new menu in March 2025. We were here in June and the menu is great. Definitely would recommend Palisades Eatery.“

“Great locals hang out which is attractive to visitors as well. Creative food offerings and live music.“

“Wow this was such an amazing vineyard! We did the hilltop experience and upgraded our tasting to the Library Tasting and the Cab Sav tasting. Was fun to do something different and share both experiences. The gondola's were fun! Very clean and easy to use and a great addition to see Napa Valley. The team were all lovely, very friendly and welcoming and helpful. But I would add that they gave us the right amount of space to spend time chatting about the wines on our own. Loved the gift shop - great additions to the wine purchases. Highly recommend this as a stop whilst in Napa Valley!“

“Delicious Chinese food! I had the crispy ginger chicken. I loved that it was not super breaded but you can actually taste the chicken. We ordered pork potstickers, fried rice and Szechuan pork and it was all fabulous. Service was prompt and servers were very kind. Great place!“

“Wonderful atmosphere and good food! The service is also wonderful!“

“Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery has always been a local favorite, and as locals ourselves, it’s a spot we visit a couple of times a month. They’ve been around for years, and the food has consistently been good, reliable, comforting, and exactly what you’d expect from a staple in town. But recently, we’ve noticed a big change, and it’s been such a pleasant surprise.

I’m not sure if it’s new management or just a refreshed approach, but the cocktails and the menu have truly leveled up. It was good before, but now? The food is absolutely delicious! bold flavors, great presentation, and dishes that feel thoughtfully crafted. You can tell there’s been extra care put into every detail.

The cocktails are A1. Creative, balanced, and consistently well made. We mostly sit at the bar, and the bartenders Edgar and Alexis always greet us with so much warmth and genuine hospitality. They’re attentive, welcoming, and make you feel like more than just a customer. That kind of service keeps people coming back.

On special occasions, we’ll sit indoors or outdoors at a dinner table, and the service is still just as great. Whether you’re at the bar, inside the dining room, or enjoying the patio, the experience remains consistent and inviting.

Calistoga Inn continues to evolve while still holding onto its local charm. It’s one of those places that feels like home, but now with an elevated twist. We’ll always recommend it truly one of the locals’ favorites, and now better than ever.“

“Great location and very convenient. It was great that you could order at pool and they'd bring it out to you. My burger was delicious and cooked to perfection. Definitely would recommend people have a pool day here with some great eatings for some R&R.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Its a great place with great food and good vibes. The BBQ is top-notch.“

“We had family gathering to celebrate parents anniversary, we arrived without reserving a spot at the facility. When we arrived the crew gave us excellent service and told us we could use their upstairs dining area for our gathering.“

“Great service, great goody“
