11 Best Wineries in Oakville

“We had a great experience at Nickel and Nickel. I have been buying their wines for years but do not get out there often. Michael did such a great job of creating such a wonderful tasting experience. His knowledge and great attitude made it so much fun as well as educational. The wines were great and I look forward to receiving what we purchased.“

“How can I even begin to describe Promontory? It is not only an architectural masterpiece, but an experience unlike any other.

From the moment we arrived, our host, Ashley, made us feel less like visitors and more like we had been invited into the Harlan family’s home. She shared the story behind Promontory with such warmth, passion, and authenticity that it felt incredibly intimate. Rather than simply tasting wine, we were invited to understand the family’s philosophy, their dedication to the craft, and the care that goes into every bottle. It was a rare and unforgettable experience.

The setting is breathtaking—the architecture, the water, the trees, even the scent of the surrounding landscape all come together to create something truly magical.Ashley made the visit extraordinary. We couldn’t have asked for a better host.

And the wine… simply exceptional. The Cabernet is the best I’ve ever had.

This wasn’t just a winery visit; it felt like being welcomed into a family’s passion and life’s work. It was special in a way that’s hard to put into words, and it’s an experience we’ll never forget. We are already looking forward to coming back.“

“One of our favorite wine tastings. We were greeted with a glass of their new Sauvignon Blanc while we waited for the tasting to start. Joanie and Bill were our hosts and they were very knowledgeable and we learned a lot from them about the harvest and the different vintages of the Cabernet Sauvignon. The tasting was interesting and full of history, not rushed at all. Afterward, we were able to purchase wine and taste other types of Cabs. A wonderful experience and we will definitely return.“

“Came to Napa Cellars on wine tour and met Sean. Sean from the beginning was a real one. He was incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable.

We would come back just to have a glass of wine with Sean.

Highly recommend this winery and working with Sean to anyone.“

“This vineyard is incredibly beautiful, and the wine they produce is even more enjoyable. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the 2018 Opus One. I love pairing my steaks with the Opus Overture.

I should also mention that the customer support has always gone above and beyond to ensure a smooth shipping experience. They’ve made accommodations for weather conditions and any other factors that could affect the quality of the wine.“

“My favorite winery in Napa with my favorite wine I’ve ever tried (the 2018 Leo, all vintages are amazing!). Every single day trip I make to Napa since 2021, I’m sure to stop at Turnbull for a tasting. I adore this place, Grant and Oswaldo are stellar. So knowledgeable and friendly. They make the experience so far above any other winery I’ve been to. They’re willing to answer any and all questions and really deep dive into the wine. Couldn’t recommend this place more!“

“This is a hidden gem - amazing winemaker, fabulous merlot and Cabernet, perfect setting. Small producer - order through them direct via wine club.“

“We had 4 of us visiting all 3 properties in the Far Niente family on Saturday. Our hosts Shane and Robert did a fantastic job walking us through a variety of offerings from these three locations. They not only presented great wines to taste but also added valuable insights into each one. These wineries are all quite different from one another but every one as gorgeous as the previous one. We had a most memorable afternoon with these guys, thank you so much! Cheers!“

“Stylistically, elegant. One of California’s finest producers.“

“A friend of mine recommend Cardinale and it did NOT disappoint! Brianne was a fantastic host and I felt like I could’ve sat there all afternoon chatting with her. The grounds were gorgeous and she was incredibly hospitable. Highly recommend visiting for great wine and amazing views!“

“Great welcome to a ladies wine tasting weekend with Dave and Louis. Family stories, history and great wine too. Highly recommended stopping by.“
