“Amazing service!! Thanks Stephanie!“
“Great atmosphere! And great story about how it came to be.“
“Great tour with David. We learned so much! The wine selection was fabulous.“
“Cole was awesome and loved the wine and of coarse the horses“
“Wonderful selection of both reds and whites.“
“Terrific wine tasting - giving history of winery and wine. Friendly and casual seating outside. Gave a wonderful recommendation for lunch as no food served but that was fine. We tasted amazing wine and then bought the amazing wine! You would to!“
“Picayune Cellars & Mercantile is a charming spot with a welcoming atmosphere and a great sense of local character. The experience was relaxed and enjoyable, and the selection was impressive. The friendly service and attention to detail made the visit even better. I really enjoyed the inviting setting and the opportunity to discover something new. Definitely worth stopping by when exploring Calistoga and the surrounding wine country.“
“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“
“This is our favorite winery in Napa Valley. Not just because of its history but also because whenever we're here we have a first class experience and the wine offerings are wonderful. Jay was our host for this visit and he did an outstanding job of explaining the wine varietals - very personable and professional. Thank you.“
“Let’s start by saying this is one of the most memorable vineyards in California! 🍷
Rachel was our guide, and she was absolutely amazing! She made the entire experience so enjoyable, and we had such a great time from start to finish.
If you’re visiting California wine country, put this vineyard on your list—it’s a MUST! You won’t be disappointed!
Thank you, Rachel, for helping make our visit so memorable!“
“Our first visit to Frank Family Vineyards was a wonderful, serene experience. We had the patio to ourselves and enjoyed fantastic wine pairings selected by our host, Tom. The pairings with the savory macarons were incredible and completely changed our perspective on macarons! Tom provided top-notch service—knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. We left with a couple of bottles and look forward to coming back next time we’re in Napa!“
“Thoroughly enjoyed our recent visit to Ladera. It was one of the most personal tastings we’ve had. We have enjoyed Ladera wines for several years. The Cabernets and Pinot Noirs are our favorites, however we enjoy them all. When I’m in the mood for a white- Ladera Sauv blanc is a go to bottle. Dan introduced us to their Chenin blanc at our recent tasting. (We also left with 2 bottles.) If you’re not familiar with Ladera, give their wines a taste, you will not be disappointed. Easy to order online.“
“Awesome wine tasting. Great views and setting. This is my second time coming up here to visit this winery. Their wines are spectacular, especially with the price and AVAs the wines come from.“
“Spectacular in every sense! Gorgeous vineyards, knowledgeable, friendly and most interesting stories told by our incredible host! Must experience this at least once in your life!“
“We recently visited Calistoga for a wine tasting getaway. We stumbled upon August Briggs Winery while walking around and explore the downtown strip, and WHAT A FIND! Matt was so much fun to talk to and explained the intricacies of sourcing for various wines and considerations for selecting grapes for his wines. Not only did we learn a ton, but the wines were FABULOUS! We brought several bottles home and my partner has a list of new questions to ask next time we visit!
Highly recommend!!“
“Erin was such an incredible host!!! We had the place to ourselves on a Sunday morning and she really took her time with us, explaining the wines, chatting and getting to know us, and getting to know our tastes so she could help us have the best experience! I’m not the biggest fan of red wines so she even gave me an extra taste of a different type she thought I may like more (and she was right!). I would absolutely come back here and would recommend to anyone looking for a personal and thoughtful experience. Gorgeous scenery and peaceful energy. Thank you Erin!“
“We had a fantastic experience at Jericho Canyon. The private tour was very reasonably priced and included an ATV tour with scenic views. Andrew was very attentive and knowledgeable and made the whole experience feel very personal. Andrew also reached out prior to the tour to provide recommendations for restaurants in Calistoga. We will definitely return next time we are in Napa!“
“Matthew made it so much fun. We had a great time and enjoyed the wine. Definitely our most fun stop!“
“Tucked away in wine country, Spire Collection is truly a hidden gem in Calistoga. It was recommended to me by a friend, and I’m so grateful we had the opportunity to visit the property. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had discovered something special.
The experience was incredibly intimate nothing rushed, nothing crowded just a relaxed and personalized tasting that allowed us to fully take in the beauty around us. The views overlooking the stunning Calistoga mountains are absolutely breathtaking. Sitting there with a glass of wine, surrounded by rolling hills and peaceful scenery, made the entire visit feel elevated and unforgettable.
What makes Spire Collection even more unique is the variety of wines they offer. There’s something for every palate, and each pour felt thoughtfully curated. The wines were distinct, expressive, and beautifully crafted, showcasing a range that you don’t always find in one place. It felt less like a standard tasting and more like a carefully guided journey through different styles and regions.
One of the most memorable touches was being able to choose your own vinyl during the tasting. That detail added such a personal and cozy vibe to the experience, making it feel even more special and one of a kind.
Our wine educator was absolutely amazing knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate. He made the tasting both educational and fun, answering questions and sharing stories that brought each wine to life.
Overall, Spire Collection offers a rare, intimate experience with breathtaking views and exceptional wines. I would definitely recommend it and can’t wait to return for another unforgettable visit.“
“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!“
“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!“
“Wow. Classic Napa estate cabs on a stunning property. You will learn more at this tasting then 99% of the places in the valley. The wines are stunning and are distinct from each other, each with their own story and flavor profile. We really enjoyed this tasting.“
“We were passing through the area and we were immediately intrigued by the huge building on top of the hill. We didn't have a reservation or any real plan other than to walk around. We ended speaking to a lovely woman there who invited us to take a quick peek at the wine cave. It was absolutely delightful. There are beautiful busts and statues, stained glass windows. And to top it off, Andrea Bocelli was playing over the speakers. It's like a magical place. It was such an unexpected treat, we plan on coming back for an actual tour and tasting. If the wine is anything like the hospitality (and I don't doubt it), the experience is worth it.“
“We had a very nice tasting yesterday at Knights Bridge in Calistoga. Chrystal was very knowledgeable about the winery and wines in general. The tasting room has a quiet elegance with the very high bank ceilings. You won't be disappointed here!“
“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.“
“We visited in 2022 and enjoyed sampling the Petit Verdot that was in the production process. Great boutique winery..we bought several bottles of XRoads and Date Night... great bold wines. Beautiful tasting room... we loved the experience.“
“Love the place and very friendly owners, great wine tasting experience 👏🤙“
“If you’re looking for something truly special, Ross Ranch is it, no need to look any further.
We stayed here to celebrate my birthday with family and friends, and it ended up being one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had in Northern California wine country. From the moment you arrive, Claudia and Keith welcome you like family. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality set the tone for the entire stay.
This is what Calistoga and Knights Valley are meant to feel like, authentic, grounded, and deeply connected to the land & Napa’s rich history. The property itself is stunning: a working ranch with expansive views, thoughtfully designed accommodations, and a sense of space and calm that’s hard to find. It’s a rare blend of refined luxury and real ranch character.
What truly sets Ross Ranch apart is the experience. Meeting the animals, hearing the story behind the land, and spending time with Claudia and Keith adds a personal layer that you simply don’t get at most places. Their wine is exceptional, thoughtful, expressive, and easily among the best we’ve tasted in Napa Valley & beyond.
Everything was seamless, from communication to accommodations to the tasting experience. It felt curated without ever feeling forced.
This is the kind of place where memories are made, and where you’ll immediately start thinking about your next visit before you’ve even left. Just a heads up, once word gets out, it’s going to be tough to keep this place a secret.
Go check them out!“
“We did a tasting with Barbie and we couldn't have had more fun! She was funny, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate about the wines. We were able to try plenty of wines and loved each one of them. We bought four bottles to take with us. By the end, it seemed we were all old friends! Wish we could have tried the sold out O.G. and La Verdad, but I suppose we will just have to go back next year. Would rate 6 stars if I could. Thanks Barbie, and thanks Carter Cellars for a great time and great wine.“
“The 2017 Santa Rosa fire deeply impacted this winery for sure. Their website turned into an unrelated page, and one phone number listed on the Calistoga Passport was disconnected. However, my final attempt to the other listed number went through and we had a chance to enjoyed an 1.5 hour talk to the owner Charlie. He's apparently passionate about his wine, his family, and his life in general. We ended up buying three bottles.“
“I was curious about Checkerboard Vineyards so my wife and I made an appointment to visit and tour the winery. Long story short, it was the highlight of our visit to the Napa Valley. Gary, our guide, walked us through the cave and gave us an overview of the property. He also provided a truly fantastic tasting experience with knowledgeable insights and great descriptions of the wines from each of the vineyards on the property. We really appreciated the singular attention during our visit along with great conversation. I highly recommend this winery tour and their wines!“
“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!“
“First of all, we went to Kenefick Ranch Winery because their wines are awesome! Once at the tasting room, we were not disappointed. It was great tasting more of a breadth of their wines in the tasting room. We first fell in love with their Cabernet, but loved all their wines, including their rose and merlot. The staff in the tasting room was very knowledgeable, friendly and fun!“
“These wines are remarkable in every vintage. The older chardonnays are similar to brilliant Mersaults. Truly great wines that are rare in a Napa Valley winery.“
“incredible place! Exceptional wines and incredible staff! A must see for any wine connoisseur.“
“This place was AMAZING! While visiting Napa Valley did the whole wine tasting experience, and was not disappointed. This was some of the tastiest wine I've ever had. Especially the pinot noir. Our server for wine tasting was exceptional. Moreover, the grounds are spectacular. There is a full chapel and tasting room and castle that make you feel like you are really in Tuscany. The grounds have animals including goats and emus. The beauty of this place is breathtaking. I will be dreaming about it.“

“Patrick was an excellent host. He was personable and easy to talk with, both about the wines and the winery. The wines were interesting and, often, were different that those found at other wineries, in a way that made them more appealing. I highly recommend a visit to Tank Garage, and with Patrick as your host/educator.“
