14 Best Wineries in Oakville

“A truly special and memorable visit to Promontory! A unique and stylish estate producing absolutely stunning, full-bodied, powerhouse Cabernets that are nothing short of sensational.

A special thank you to our amazing host, Casey, whose warmth, generosity with his time, and exceptional knowledge of both the wines and Promontory’s fascinating history made the experience even more memorable.

An unforgettable experience and an absolute must for serious wine lovers!“

“We had thee best tour of our trip here at Ghost Block with Luis!! We learned so much and the experience of seeing the vineyard and the time Luis took with us was just amazing! We never felt rushed or pushed into a membership (still bought one 🤣 though). I was so immersed in the tour I was sadden later when I realized I didn’t take any pictures!!
Definitely will be back.“

“Our tasting at Nickel & Nickel was a highlight of our Napa Valley trip! The wines were wonderful, and our host, Nancy, made the experience even better. She was knowledgeable, funny and incredibly welcoming. We had such a lively conversation with someone who clearly loves what she does. We left having learned a few new things while enjoying some truly fantastic wines. A great experience all around. Highly recommend!“

“Outstanding!“

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

“My wife saw this winery 🍷 that bears her maiden name and insisted on booking a private tasting. Our host, Brianne was excellent. The private tasting to sit, chat drink wine and enjoy some light foods was enjoyable, informative and really nice vs the usual public tastings. I'd recommend visiting them.“

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

“I had an amazing experience here. Napa Cellar's welcome splash was a great detail that many wineries could take note of. I loved their blend of sophisticated wines, a laid-back location, and knowledgeable, friendly staff. This is a great spot to do a picnic along with your tasting. I recommend stopping by Oakville Grocery or getting something from Gott's or Mustard's to-go and bringing it here while enjoying their beautiful selection of red wines. I loved our host Trent; he taught us some great things about the reds at Napa Cellars and wine in general. He wasn't pushy or stuffy, as some tasting room employees can be. Will definitely be recommending this winery to people and will make an effort to come back! Side note: the location is great for large groups and is dog-friendly.“

“another lovely afternoon spent tasting great wines. Stop by and have Louis pour for you.“

“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!“

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

“Definitely one of the best wine tasting experiences I’ve had. Their Cabs truly live up to their reputation.

The tasting flight was exceptionally well-thought-out, featuring a lineup from both their Napa Valley and Alexander Valley AVAs. I loved comparing the different expressions side-by-side, along with the range between fresh new releases and nicely aged vintage years. Starting off with a refreshing greeting pouring of Sauvignon Blanc followed by 4 Cabs made the $65 tasting fee feel like an incredible value for the quality.

Beyond the world-class wine, the team’s genuine hospitality made the visit unforgettable. Everyone was welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout.

Will definitely come back.“

“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.“

“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!“
