Amazing wine!!! The experience and the hospitality was a five star for sure. Thank you so much. We will be back.

Being completely honest.Horrible. First, it's in Napa most unsafe neighborhood, an outright ghetto. The view around the neighborhood is dirty old dilapidated businesses and houses right across the street from their run down small garden area. No Napa magic here. $30 for 18oz of beer! Better to hit local spots in Town and have five pints for the ?. Same with wine, $30 to $175 for what's equal to one 8oz glass of wine. Not worth it.We also witnessed the owner fighting with their neighbors because the proprietor of st clair brown, she very rudly sweap a pile of glass and trash into a neighbor's parking area!They did it. We seen it.Anybody who gives this place more than one star is just trying to be nice to a small classless business. NOTHING here. Recomend to Skip it.

Returning to the wine! The Saison was delicious… but My Zero-proof Pomegranate Rosemary Soda (from their own garden)… amazing!!! finally a nice winery, beautiful setting that provides delicous and classy N A drinks … i will return and Will NOT be the assigned driver… and still try more drinks in the zero proof beverage Added bonus- very kind person welcomed us

Stopped in by chance and we all loved the place. I forget the gentleman’s name but the service was great. Listening to the story behind each beer/wine was cool. Food was tasty. Everyone was a fan of the hummus. Also good with children. Would recommend 100%.

This continues to be my favorite spot. Upbeat chill playlist, nice service, and the garden is lovely. We're members here so we get a free beer when we come by.

Amazing spot! New fave place in Napa. Caitlyn was very welcoming and gave us the best recommendations. This place is gorgeous. Delicious beers and wines. Woman owned, great ambience (edible gardens). Will be back often. Highly recommend!

Loved the whole experience! Kaitlyn (sp?) took us on an amazing sensory journey as we walked around the garden, tasted sunburst tomatoes, sniffed lemon verbena, and nibbled on fennel flowers. Granted we got there before they opened and were the only ones there for a while, but none the less it was extremely memorable. Thank you so much!

The garden was very beautiful! All in all it was a bit disappointing. It was a lot smaller than I thought, the service was super slow (which would have been okay but we were kind of over it by the end), also thought the “zero proof tasting” was NA beer- it was not. It was juice (could have been my fault for not reading carefully enough?).Maybe if we went for an event it would have been better. I didn’t like how I had to pay for all the tastings before I got there.

Was really excited to try this place out, however when we arrived, we were told we would be seated inside their warehouse because the garden was closed due to rain (Note: their website clearly states that outdoor reservations would be moved inside "in the event of rain", however, it wasn't raining, the sun was shining, and we were not alerted prior to arriving that our outdoor reservation was being moved inside..). We spoke to the front desk and said we had booked an outdoor seating, and were not interested in sitting inside. They told us no problem, they'd cancel our reservation and refund us the full deposit ($211).I waited a week for the refund and never received it, so I called St Clair to make sure it had gone through. I was reassured on the phone that the refund had been issued and that I should wait a few days for my bank to refund it. Another week passes, I still don't receive the refund, so I call (again), and am told (again, by a different employee) that the refund was being processed and I should receive it in a few days' time.TL;DR I never received the refund, and am now (2 months later) being told that I can use the credit for a future tasting.. This is totally different from what I was told in person and on the phone (twice!), where I was told the full deposit would be refunded. I don't live nearby, and based on my awful experience here so far, I don't think I'll ever come back. Would recommend trying one of the many other, better spots around town with better service.

Great spot! Fun outdoor seating area! Their roasted almonds are a delicious compliment to the beers. It was a warm day out and decided to do the beer tasting rather than wine tasting and it did not disappoint.

What a pleasant surprise this place was. I made a last minute booking and honestly didn't know what to expect. The garden in the middle of downtown was such a fun casual setting. We enjoyed all the wines and nibbles we had but what we enjoyed even more was our service from Bailey! He had such a way to make you feel welcomed and his enthusiasm really made the experience.

Awesome little beer/wine garden with great tasting and snack options. Staff is super friendly and informative. Bailey you were the best.

This review is for wine tasting but at the St. Clair Brown "cellar." We scheduled a wine tasting here because they are a dog friendly winery and we had our pups with us. While it was a cool sunny winter day, we (and the dogs) were dressed for the cooler weather. We fully expected to be seated outside in the garden but upon arriving a sign by the garden said that the wine tasting would be indoors at their "cellar" across the street due to the day's temperature (mid 50s). The "cellar" was really their indoor brewery location where they had a handful of tables inside and two small tables just outside the door. The brewery was sparse and had an industrial vibe. It didn't feel like a place to have a wine tasting. Dogs were allowed inside but we chose to sit outside at one of the two small tables. Our server was very nice and provided great service. She was knowledgeable about the small boutique winery. The pickled persimmons were great. Overall, the experience wasn't bad, but it was disappointing to have the tasting at their "cellar" (brewery) rather than at their normal outdoor garden and greenhouse. The garden looked well kept, and nice. It didn't feel like we got the true experience which we were hoping for. Had we known beforehand that the tasting would be at the brewery, we might have gone somewhere else but the wine tasting reservation requires prepayment. If you book a wine tasting here on a cool day, just be aware that they may move the tasting indoors to their brewery rather than at their nice outdoor garden.

Such an awesome place! The drinks are really yummy and great cheeses! The server was amazing, he even let us try various citrus from their garden!
