“Ghost Block was the first stop on our tour and a great place to start! Luis was friendly and informative and the wine was delicious. Thanks for the wine and lemons too!”

“If you only have to do one tasting in Napa Valley, I think this would be the best.First of all, only people who have made reservations are checked at the gate before entering, so it is quieter than other wineries.The wine is delicious and the atmosphere is nice.”

“Visually and tastefully moving experience. The overwhelming peaceful grounds moved me to tears. Our ambassador Jess was patient, insightful and made our experience unforgettable. The tunnel, Dutch cheese and depth of history was honest and personable. An experience I will never forget. My next visit I would just like to sit for hours looking at the grounds in a chair drinking my Dolce.”

“I had an absolutely exceptional experience at Silver Oaks Vineyards for a wine tasting hosted by the incredibly knowledgeable and personable David. From the moment we arrived, David's warm welcome set the tone for a memorable visit. His passion for wine was evident in every detail of the tasting, as he expertly guided us through each varietal with insightful commentary and interesting anecdotes about the vineyard's history and winemaking process. The selection of wines was outstanding, showcasing the diversity and quality of Silver Oaks' offerings. The atmosphere was relaxed yet refined, allowing us to fully appreciate the nuances of each pour while enjoying the picturesque surroundings. David's hospitality and expertise truly elevated our visit to Silver Oaks Vineyards, making it an experience worth five stars and more. I can't wait to return and explore more of their exceptional wines with David as our guide.”

“The wine here is delightful. The vineyard itself is not especially beautiful, particularly from our vantage point. That said, we had a special tasting scheduled as part of Alluvium Wine Tour and it was wonderful.It was hot outside, so we sat inside a room, like a barn actually, with the doors open. Inside were large stainless steel wine tanks. I noticed the temperature gauges on the tanks didn't seem to be favorable for wine and our host confirmed they were currently empty.We fully enjoyed out tasting and left with a three-pack of wine, all bottles signed. That sounds very special, but we didn't keep the bottles, so I'm not sure of the point... unless we should have kept them. If so, it's wine under the bridge.The owner happened to stop in during our tasting. Nice enough guy, but he was not there to chit chat. Still, it was kinda cool.I recommend stopping at Paradigm Winery for a tasting.”

“Truly amazing wine tasting experience at a beautiful winery. Chef Justin created several delicious dishes to pair with the wonderful bottles of Cabernet, and our host Jake was very knowledgeable and we learned so much from him. Can’t wait to come back once the renovations are completed!”

“Great visit yesterday! This was one of our stops with Platypus Wine Tours. Our host, Christian, was great. As a local, born and raised, he was able to share history and knowledge that made the experience better. Learning about the company through the years and the family philosophy made the experience more meaningful. And, tasting from a barrel makes for an even better experience.”

“We arrived in Glen Ellen after a long car ride. I chose to crash at the hotel, but my husband wasn't going to miss a chance to eat at Glen Ellen Star. A week later I am still hearing about the other-worldly bananas foster he had for dessert! :-) We love this place so much that when we plan a weekend getaway we stay in Glen Ellen and drive over the hills to visit Napa and St. Helena just to be near our favorite restaurant, the Glen Ellen Star.”

“Stoped here with friends for dinner. None of us have ever been here so we went in with open minds and ready to be fed some good food!! So many choices to dine. Inside the restaurant, outside tables or cute yurts that seem to seat about 4 comfortably. Inside is beautiful and rustic. Very comfortable not pretentious. We were given menus but really didn't understand the process until our food server explained that side dishes are served family style in Le Cruset casserole dishes, you just need to pick a couple of proteins to go with them. Our choices: a full loaf of sourdough, fresh picked veggies and their own dip, braised leeks that are meant to be served cold, a whole deboned chicken and a filet of sturgeon. Everything was beyond incredible!! So much flavor!! Everything was extremely fresh. We kept making yum noises and saying OMG after tasting each dish. We couldn't have been happier. All our dishes seemed to compliment each other so well. Our food server was SO KNOWLEDGEABLE...she knew just the right wine to suggest with it and we took her suggestion. She really went ABOVE and BEYOND her job. No I can see whay she was training someone...she really knows the fine art of turning someone's dinner into an experience!! I wish I would have taken pictures but we were too busy eating. 5 stars Charter Oak! You exceeded in all aspects!”

“The hand pulled mozzarella. That is all that needs to be said. If you come here you MUST order the hand pulled mozzarella. All the other food was really good, but I cannot say enough about the mozzarella. Would recommend with the house made pesto.”

“So our family has a friendly competition to locate the best fish tacos anywhere. And I am a chili relleno snob so we stopped here on my daughter-in-law's suggestion and unfortunately she wins or maybe fortunately? The fish tacos were better than anything I've ever had and the chili Anna was above average so I can strongly recommend this place for the food. We had to wait about 10 minutes at the register even though they were open at 11:00 which bothers me a little bit because if you're going to open the front door you should be ready to go. But other than that the food came out promptly and was beyond amazing”

“Great location and delicious Mexican food. Prices actually not bad for Yountville. Wait-staff was very attentive and we were lucky to get a table without reservations.”

“Delicious vegan and gluten free options! Great service! We went with several people with dietary restrictions and they made it easy to have delicious food prepared to our needs. Definitely returning!”

“My wife and I had dinner earlier tonight. We shared Sashimi, Caesar Salad, Gnudi, and Black Cod. All were excellent except for the Black Cod which had great flavors but was drowned in oil. Service was excellent although a bit on the fast side. WIth those courses and no desert, we were done in under an hour. Wine prices were on the high side, so we took advantage of the $25 corkage fee. The joint was jumping and quite noisy, but it was still possible to converse. We will definitely return!”

“My family and I have eaten at Farmstead many, many times, and the service, food, drinks and ambience is always great and a wonderful experience. The food and wine selections perfectly complement the flavors for an elevated dining experience. The portions are generous, especially the Heritage St. Louis Ribs and the California Arborio Rice - definitely shareable plates. The desserts are always on point. My favorite is the Scharffen Berger Chocolate Cream Pie - house made with a thick graham cracker crust and whipped cream. If you are looking for a true farm to table experience, showcasing fresh and flavorful ingredients from their garden, ranch and vineyards, Farmstead delivers. Price: $$$ Food: ***** Service: ***** Cuisine: American Farmhouse I highly recommend Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch!”

“The food was great. The cornbread was actually better than my cornbread surprisingly and I make a really great cornbread. The service was good. The ambience was nice. I definitely will be back and bringing more friends.”

“I went to El Dorado for my birthday dinner with my friends We did wine tasting at WALT only 1 min walking distance from El Dorado and we really liked this course. Wine tasting and dinner at nice restaurant was such a good choice! Inside of the restaurant is very spacious and cozy. Only one thing, the grilled salmon which we ordered along with risotto didn't come out at the first time, the our server realized and brought to our table later. Except that, the food was very tasty and we really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. I'm the person who especially love the Sonoma vibe and the restaurant definitely made me feel I'm in the nice and cozy town.”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining here for lunch, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the breathtaking views and inviting atmosphere. The food surpassed all expectations. Each dish was bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. From the appetizers to the dessert, every bite was a culinary delight. The staff at this place is incredible. Their professionalism and attention to detail made me feel like a valued guest. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Overall, my lunch was exceptional in every way. The combination of stunning views, delicious food, and impeccable service made me feel like I was on a vacation. I can't wait to return and enjoy another memorable meal.”

“If you ever have the opportunity to dine at the Gatehouse Restaurant at the CIA you must! The best and most innovative food you will find. We have dined at Michelin restaurants and this was matching the experience. Our server Abby (student of CIA) was amazing. Personable, knowledgeable and professional.”

“Our evening at Kenzo was absolutely wonderful. The restaurant was wonderfully simple and pleasantly quiet. Every bite of every dish was thoughtful, flavorful, and delicious. The premium wine and sake pairing was completely worth it - so many fun and luscious selections.Without question, the best part of the meal was that we had the privilege of being served by Tomonori, who we later learned is the General Manager. He was a joy. He explained each course in perfect detail and answered every question we could think of. He made us excited to try each new dish - which of course greatly enhanced each individual taste and the overall experience.Highly recommended. Will definitely return!”

“Auberge du Soliel never disappoints. It is pricey, but defiunitely worth it for special occasions. The view out over the Napa Valley is special. The service is top-notch. Everyone works together to provide a fantastic dining experience. The food is always great, and never boring. Everyone who can afford it should make the trip and have a great experience.”

“Got to make my first visit here a couple weeks ago. What a fabulous little spot. It’s tucked in a quiet spot at the edge of the downtown area. The venue and the staff are so inviting and welcoming.We had a rather large group, and the owner was quick to help pull tables together and get us taken care of. I love seeing a staff that pays attention to details. We felt so well cared for!As for pizza, I shared a Detroit style and had a glass of rose. I wish the aioli had been on the side, but no big complaints. When some of my friends got their thin-crust, tavern-style pizza, I got jealous. It all looked and tasted so great!I’ll definitely be back!”

“Wonderful place. We tried all the specials. Bean soup (delicious). Pot roast (so tender). Beignets (straight from New Orleans).I really appreciated the portions, and that they were willing to split the entrées between me and my partner without any hassle. The wine list is also above reproach. Great variety of Sonoma county and external wines. Looking at you Bonny Doon from Aptos.When we come back to Glen Ellen, this will be on the list to visit again.”

“We initially did not intend to do any tasting here. We originally intended to go to another winery and then we decided to squeeze Hall in since it was included in our hotel stay. We knew nothing about Hall going in. We were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the tasting room was as well as how much we enjoyed the wine. I'm trying to enjoy more red wine as opposed to white and this place gave me a huge push in that direction. The wine was great. Lastly, I will say how great Joego was. He was entertaining as well as giving us a lot of great information on their wine. In the end, we didn't end up going to that other winery at all but we were completely happy with that. Hall was the perfect winery to end our stay in Napa Valley”

“Great experience, the Jack Frost is a no-miss! I loved the lights, the fondue and the atmosphere. Our bartender Jo answered all our questions and made endless conversation while make amazing drinks. Go here before you leave Napa!”

“Great little restaurant in the valley. This place was recommended by several of our hosts at various tastings. Food was awesome. Everyone recommended we get the "fresh mozzarella thing" as an appetizer. It's not actually on the menu but we ordered and it was delicious. Also split a Tiramisu for desert, it was the best ever!”

“We felt at home! We were treated like if we were their family… we felt so comfortable that I felt okay to share some “carne seca” (mexican beef jerky) with the guys hosting our visit. ?? My wife was so excited to meet Tamera there ?”

“The latkes were very tasty. They ran out of plain bagels by 11a so had a sesame bagel with salmon spread. Bagel was slightly tough. Loved sitting at the counter.”

“We just returned home to Ohio after having visited Caymus in Napa. Elizabeth was our host and she was fabulous. We are a long-term fan of Caymus and have been there several times a year. We love the wine but we enjoy the experience as much or more. We would highly recommend them. We will definitely be back. Love, Bockhorsts”

“Fabulous wine tasting on 3/17/24.Mel did a wonderful job sharing the history of Grgich and her knowledge of wine, growing conditions, and organic practices was impressive. She was perceptive about our interests and taste preferences and tailored the experience rather than just doing a “canned” presentation, making the tasting educational and enjoyable!”
