Our visit to Blackbird Vineyards was nothing short of extraordinary. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the owner, John, and his wonderful family for creating such an enchanting place. The moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty of the property and the warmth of the welcome we received.
Special thanks to Jeff for hosting us and guiding us through the tasting experience. Jeff's knowledge of wine and Napa Valley is unparalleled. His insights and words of wisdom added so much depth to our visit, making it not just a tasting, but an educational journey through the art of wine.
The wines at Blackbird Vineyards are simply fantastic—complex, lovely, and reflective of the passion and expertise that go into their creation. This is a must-stop if you're visiting Napa!

Me and my family would of been better making homemade wine as we got so sick from there inability to make good product
Geoffrey Walls
Aaron was amazing and showed us around the cellar. Such balanced well made wines. Great farming makes great grapes, which evolve into elegant aromatic greatness in the glass! I'm a big fan.

Although I cannot comment on the quality of the wine / location itself, I will comment on the awful experience I just had with one of their hospitality managers. 4 weeks ago I put in a simple inquiry to ask if they would be able to host some people at their location. I received an email from Kate, who let me know the details, and said to confirm with her IF we would like to follow through. I had never confirmed anything with them, as we found another option, and this was a simple inquiry to get details and availability. She has called me several times, harassing me about us showing up at this location. We did not have any confirmation what so ever, we did not commit to anything, (and clearly if we did, we would have been there, they would've had our credit card on file, etc. as other wineries do) and she proceeded to tell me that she turned away other parties because she "thought" we were coming. We had no contract, no obligation, and it was a simple inquiry. It comes across as very desperate, that no one goes there, and they have been chasing us for business for weeks. This makes no sense at all and I don't appreciate being called multiple times per day, several days on unconfirmed reservations. Please do better.

My family and I biked from a local resort into town to explore. I get that a reservation was required, and I have given other places that had reservations required five stars because of their staff in the same area, but this place was flat out rude. I walked in to try wines and was informed the following, “I know we’re empty, but I have reservations coming soon and we’re reservations only.” I was fine with this, but when I asked where I can go, as I’m not from this area, the staff was rushing and rude to get me out. She said she couldn’t speak on what else was around and was hesitant to help my family and I locate stuff in the area, because she had “people coming soon.” We were able to unhook our bikes, put on helmets, set ourselves, and bike away, with still NOT ONE customer/reservation to walk in. I took my money elsewhere to the wine thief, sampled there, and spent my $300 easily without hesitation because of their kind staff. I would NEVER come back here simply because of the rushing and rude staff member. I felt like an unvalued, potential customer, and I don’t know why a few simple questions and directions couldn’t be provided. The most I got was to go down the street to the chamber of commerce. Glad I ended up at the wine thief. Try them out if you want friendly staff!

Melissa was absolutely amazing in working with me to plan a virtual wine tasting for my clients in such short timelines. Not only did we not have any issues with shipping or delivery all the way to the East Coast but the interactive wine tasting received rave reviews. From the nuggets of information, it's clear that Blackbird puts a lot of thought their products from the wines to the artwork on the bottle itself. I would 100% work with Blackbird again for any future events for my clients.

My team did a virtual wine tasting with Blackbird Vineyards. While it is not the same experience, they did a great job of porting over the off-line experience onto online. The explanation of history of wineries, recommendations that goes beyond their own line ups (other Napa wineries, other parts of U.S. that produce great wines, other countries that produce quality wines, etc).

This is an amazing tasting room. It’s also in a great location. The staff are friendly, fun, and very knowledgeable. The wine is equally amazing. My favorite is the rosé, Arriviste. You will not be disappointed. We went there for a girls day, and had such a great time!
LOVE this wine. It makes me happy everytime I take a sip. It's smooth, complex and silky.

Walked in to look around and my wife was offered a complimentary glass of wine. So we stayed a little while longer while she drank it. Cute little shop.

This is the type of business that will either give you a great, pleasant experience or a horrible one, depending on how you look. They are snobby and were condescending to me. Again, your experience may very well be wonderful, so make of this information what you will.
