Promontory Winery is an incredibly special place and unlike anywhere else we have visited in Napa (although Ovid, Lokoya, and Chappellet are up there). From the moment you arrive, the property feels intentional, serene, and deeply thoughtful. Architecturally, it is stunning, but it never feels showy. Even the fermentation room feels more like a museum than a working winery.
What truly sets Promontory apart is the experience itself. It is completely private and unhurried. You do not encounter other guests, which creates a sense of calm and discretion that is rare and deeply appreciated.
We were guided by Kaede, who was warm, kind, and genuinely knowledgeable. She took time at the outset to understand us, our preferences, and what we hoped to gain from the visit. That care carried through the entire experience and made it feel personal rather than scripted. She left quite an impression on us and our conversations were so deep that emotions were felt - I cannot say I have ever experienced such depth and passion at a tasting.
The tasting unfolded slowly and thoughtfully. While everything was beautifully presented, we ultimately found ourselves drawn most to the Promontory wines over the Penultimate. There is a restraint, depth, and sense of place in Promontory that really resonated with us.
By the end of the visit, the experience spoke for itself. We chose to join the Founder’s because the philosophy, craftsmanship, and integrity behind the wines felt aligned with what we value and enjoy.
This is an experience best suited for those who appreciate intention, artistry, and quiet excellence. Promontory is not just a tasting. It is an experience that stays with you.

Simply put, one of the most stunning properties you'll ever see. An engineering and architectural masterpiece. Oh and the wine is world, world-class. IYKYK

A magnificent experience with Rick and fabulous wines. This was a top tier tasting and looking forward to our next visit. Absolutely stunning property!

Such a stunning property! We learned a lot of incredible wine information upon this wine tour and even had the opportunity to enjoy wine straight from the barrel during its aging process. I wish we were able to try a few more of their already aged wines but overall had a great experience! I would love to go back and experience this winery again.

Absolutely amazing experience!!! David and his colleague (can’t remember his name) were both wonderful to our large group. We felt like we were the only ones there and love that we got a tour that was tailored to our groups interests. The entire place looks like it came from a magazine. I’ve never been to a place like this - if you are lucky enough to know about this place and can get a reservation - GO! The wine was absolutely delicious. We went to 3 wineries during our stay and this was our favorite. Highly, highly recommend.

The winery tour and tasting are truly the best around. The wine is exceptional, and the facilities are wonderful. This was a truly marvelous experience from start to finish.

We visited 8 wineries during our trip and this tasting and tour was, by far, the best we experienced not to mention their wine was amazing. Started off with being offered champagne from a bottle of 2013 Dom Perignon! The grounds and wine making areas of the winery were amazing. The architecture was incredible and the views terrific. Kaede was our tour person and she was incredible. Providing wonderful information about Promontory and its history. After the tour she brought us to a private room to taste some great wines. Truly worth every penny for what was an expensive tasting and tour. We will visit again

My husband arranged for a tasting for us while we were in Napa for my birthday weekend. Our appointment was on a Saturday afternoon at 1 pm and included a tour of the facilities as well as a tasting. The space was absolutely stunning and incredibly sleek. The wine cellar was kind of haunting and mysterious and lovely and we were able to taste a wine straight from the cask which was pretty cool. The whole experience last around 2 hours and was a highlight of the weekend!
This winery is absolutely stunning. The wines are some of the best we’ve ever had. Our host Olivia was very knowledgeable and very accommodating on our visit. We can’t wait to visit again.

Promontory Winery delivered an unforgettable experience from start to finish. We began with a tasting of Dom Pérignon, setting a luxurious tone for the day. The breathtaking views, outstanding wines, and exceptional hospitality made our visit truly special. Our host, Jessica, was phenomenal—knowledgeable, welcoming, and attentive, answering all our questions with expertise. Each wine was masterfully crafted, showcasing Promontory’s dedication to excellence. The elegant and serene setting elevated the experience even further. I highly recommend Promontory and Jessica for an unparalleled wine journey.
Phenomenal wine. Exceptional experience. Stunning winery.
