“My family and I had a wonderful experience thanks to Jackson and the other staff! it was my mother’s birthday and they made it special and personalized, which we were so thankful for. if you are Black or POC and worried about the drive up or the vibe there, we were real comfortable and didn’t encounter any weird behavior. It was amazing and this experience exceeded my expectations, I can’t wait to return“
“Wonderful selection of both reds and whites.“
“From Christchurch, New Zealand. My 50th Birthday travels, popped in to meet the very welcoming team. Hector introduced us to the most amazing wines. We walked away with the 2022 Estate Cabenet Sauvignon Calistoga. Thank you Hector for your wonderful giving nature.“
“This store is a treasure! All employees, especially the owner, Claire, are so gracious and kind. The merchandise is fabulous, from so many countries! This store carries Pendleton blankets, shirts and various other things.
Picayune also carries its own brand of beautiful wines and other gourmet items. As previously said, Claire picks the merchandise which varies from all over.
Picayune’s is the first shop I go to when I am in Calistoga and the last when I’m ready to leave! Be sure and put it on your list ! ❤️“
“Our final stop of our wine trip, and I'm so glad we saved the best for last. One of my favorite wineries I have ever visited. Not only is the winery tucked away in it's own Narnia-like mountain setting, but there are cats wandering about to make it that much more fun. Goes without saying that the wines are sublime. Our host, Tameron, was so friendly, and made us feel like old friends by the end of the tasting. (If you read this, Tameron - I hope you enjoyed the Boston Pops 4th of July show! We had several friends performing in that).“
“Beautiful property and amazing wine. Shelly hosted us and was so knowledgeable, friendly and patient. We joined the wine club - LOVED IT“
“Here's a fun fact: Frank Family makes an amazing sparkling wine. The Blanc de Blanc sparkling is this house's secret sauce that is winery visit exclusive. Highly recommended. We sat at the bar and squeezed in a tasting between tastings and we were glad we did. The gentleman behind the bar was very engaging and helpful. Glad we could get in this beutiful property. Thanks Frank!“
“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“
“My wife and ALWAYS go to this Winery when we visit the valley. Envy has never let us down on flavor ;but, more importantly, ambiance. Very laid back, great tasting and the hosts are just great! We enjoy it here at least as much as the large tasting rooms. HIGHLY recommended by us.“
“Matthew made it so much fun. We had a great time and enjoyed the wine. Definitely our most fun stop!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!!“
“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!“
“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.“
“Jericho Canyon was one of the highlights of my Napa trip. What sets this winery apart is how intimate and personal the experience feels from start to finish.
The ATV tour was fantastic and offered a unique way to explore the property while learning about the vineyard and its history. The scenery was beautiful, and getting out into the vines made the visit feel much more immersive than a typical seated tasting.
I also loved the private nature of the experience. It never felt rushed or crowded, and there was plenty of time to ask questions, enjoy the wines, and take in the surroundings. The hospitality was warm and genuine, making it feel more like being welcomed onto someone’s estate than visiting a commercial tasting room.
If you’re looking for a more exclusive and memorable Napa experience beyond the larger wineries, Jericho Canyon is absolutely worth a visit.“
“Love the place and very friendly owners, great wine tasting experience 👏🤙“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“Visited the winery back on June 14, 2018 for a tasting. Beautiful winery and caves. Friendly service. Reasonable tasting fee. Large selection of delicious wines including a white Malbec. Did not meet the owner but he had an interesting history and background. The statues in the cave along with music and stain glass windows was a perfect way to end the tour. Purchased some wine for my collection. Received today and it was well packaged. I would go back again in the future. Great photo opportunity in the caves to remember your visit.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“

“One of the best experiences we had during our time in Napa. Our host Matt was awesome and incredibly knowledgeable about the wines. Such a fun atmosphere and great wine, we especially loved the fact that once a certain bottle was made that was it for the batch. Pizza night was one of the best reds we had the entire trip. Definitely a must visit.“
