My group of friends and I went here for my bachelorette party for a tasting on the patio. It was outstanding, from the views to the amazing service and the quality of wine! The charcuterie and cheese board and macarons were delightful as well. I'd return here in a heartbeat.

The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and the wine was pretty good overall. We did the red wine sampler and the charcuterie board, both great options. My main problem was the service, our server had a large party he was attending to, which I understand. He dropped the wines off explained them and then we didn’t see him for the rest of the time. We waited thirty minutes for our check after the table was cleared. We were considering buying bottles but after how long it took we just needed to get on the road and drive home. When we asked for the check he left the IPad on our table and just asked us to tap. The rest of the estate was beautiful but the server ruined our last stop in Napa.

Such a beautiful place. Great wines. A must when we visit Napa
Rafael Rivera
Horrible service, so many other places with better wine and better hospitality.

We had a truly disappointing experience at Domaine Carneros for our tasting on August 1st. My husband and I were really looking forward to it, but we left feeling completely underwhelmed. Our server did not provide any information about the wines we were tasting or the history of the winery, which is a significant part of the experience. The entire visit felt incredibly rushed, as if we were just another reservation to get through the door. It lacked the personal touch and hospitality we've come to expect from Napa Valley. Unfortunately, we would not recommend it.

My parents and I cannot say enough about the quality of the food, wine, and service we received at Domaine Carneros. Our server Neil was so knowledgeable, attentive, and kind. The winery has a gorgeous view of rolling hills and vineyards, and we enjoyed trying the varietals of Pinot Noir and sparkling wines. A lovely, memorable visit—Domaine Carneros is a mandatory stop when in Napa.

Really fantastic winery and experience! The staff were fun, the bubbles were excellent, and the view was gorgeous.

Environment looks nice, but pretty crowded and commercial and noisy. And it’s located near a highway. Sparkling doesn’t worth a taste at all. 2 stars for the building and plants.

We did not have a reservation but there were five plus open tables and waiters standing around. The hostess was rude and did not try to accommodate any kind of tasting or even suggesting to buy a bottle of wine and enjoy the grounds. Very unpleasant experience
I recently visited a place with a stunning 🏞️ scenery, and I was excited for the wine tasting. Unfortunately, the employees seemed to be in a real rush to serve all the wine samples at once. After pouring the wine, they quickly disappeared, leaving us to enjoy the view alone. I wish they would have stayed a bit to share insights. Overall, I was a little disappointed with the service at this 📍location, despite the beautiful surroundings. #WineTasting #BeautifulScenery #PoorService #Disappointed

We visited Domaine Carneros for the Art of Sabrage tasting, and while the grounds were absolutely stunning—filled with picture-perfect spots—it slightly missed the mark overall.
We arrived about 10 minutes early, joining several others enjoying the view and snapping photos. Check-in didn’t begin until exactly 10am, which led to a long line. Once checked in, we were told we'd receive a text when our table was ready. Despite our early arrival, we waited nearly 15 more minutes and were among the last seated—disappointing for a tasting experience priced over $100 per person.
The charcuterie board was beautiful, and they were wonderfully accommodating of a gluten intolerance in our group. That said, the board included a small amount of caviar in the center, which made sharing between four people a bit awkward. It would have felt more thoughtful (and appropriate for the price) to portion boards per two guests.
The sabrage itself was very cool to witness—a dramatic pop of the cork over the terrace railing—but the experience lasted under three minutes and took place in a public space, easily viewable by others not doing the tasting. It lacked the exclusivity or intimacy I had expected.
All in all, it was a nice visit with great scenery and some memorable moments, but for the premium cost, it didn’t quite live up to the hype.

7/20/25 Sunday view from top was gorgeous. 4/27/22 Wednesday very good water fountain, garden. Must visit place

Very nice winery but the tasting was a little commercialized compared to others. The location is located near a highway but the grounds were beautiful. The views were nice as well. The tasting was average as we shared a waiter who explained the wines but would end up having to leave to help other tables. We sat with many others. The wine was pretty good and the Charcuterie we ordered was good.
Tetiana Zubenko
Total disappointment. The staff showed no real interest in the guests — our server was cold and clearly focused only on making a sale. The wine was poured almost halfway up the glass, but that didn’t help us understand what exactly we were paying $45 and $60 per tasting set for (not including tax and tip). The place is beautiful — that’s about the only good thing I can say. Zero impression overall. Wouldn’t recommend.
