50 Best Wineries near Pope Valley

“Beautiful winery to visit with wonderful upstairs tasting area. Wine was fabulous. Our tasting pourer was fun and informative. After tasting we had a great time taking in the amazing scenery while playing bocci ball and drinking our Pope Valley Winery wine. Definitely make your way here to taste!“

“Amazing service!! Thanks Stephanie!“

“I just opened my first bottle of 2021 Zinfandel to go with my freshly butcher, farmed raised, grass fed filet. I moved to Kansas 5-years ago and I’m happy to be able to order my favorite CA wines that I’m so spoiled by. This Zinfandel far exceeds my expectations. Wish my Dad was still with us because this is something we shared a passion for. I know he would agree with me. Impressive Zinfandel. Thank you!!“

“Our best visit during our trip to Napa! We visited Domaine Carneros, B.Cellars, Davis Estates, Grgich, and Prager Port. We had a nice visit at all of those vineyards, but none of them came close to the hospitality, friendliness and generosity that Ryan Morales showed us during our tasting at Maxville. The wines were fantastic, as was meeting Cullen...a member of the wine making team. The entire visit was spot on from the minute we arrived, to the tour of the grounds, to the tasting. Exceptional, proud to be a club member at Maxville...can't wait until our next visit.“

“Really enjoy our experience today. Dana was absolutely lovely 😊“

“We got to visit in August and it was incredible!!! Everything from the drive up the mountain, the views, the hospitality and the WINES!! We visited without the intention of joining the club, but the experience changed our minds! It was truly a must do when you're in Napa!“

“Ryan gave us a fantastic tour and tasting through the cellar. It was fun getting the behind the scenes view of production. His relaxed walked through of the wine and food pairings gave us all the opportunity to explore different combinations. Absolutely loved their chardonnays. The atmosphere comes with great views and plenty of quaint spaces to sit. Absolutely recommend rombauer!“

“I am proud to be a wine club member. This trip, my sister and I were well taken care of Ray Williams and Jasmine Choy. Ray and Jasmine are extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the wines and provided us with exceptional experiences. They knew my sister's birthday is today and made it a point to acknowledge it. We truly felt special. And of course the wines are the best that we had in Napa Valley. We have traveled the world and rarely re-visit a place, but we will be coming back year after year. Thank you, Hall! We love you!“

“Moim zdaniem najlepsze wina w Napa. Bardzo miła i pomocna obsługa, która z uwaga wsłuchuje się w oczekiwania gości!“

“Let me tell you, this winery will transport you to a completely different place if you’re looking for quite the experience. I was celebrating my recent engagement with my fiancée in the Red Room with Maha:Maja (sp?). In any case, her energy, vibrance, and attention to care are unmatched and my party had a wonderful time. Thank you for everything!“

“Large tasting samples so he ready and eat something before you go 😊“

“Omg! Thank you Clif Winery! I had ordered wine back in February and was going to pick it up in May during my mom’s b-day celebration. Because that had to be cancelled, they delivered the wine to me today, along with a few bonus bottles! Love these guys! Thank you Ashley Cox, John Sundin and the whole Clif Winery Family! :)“

“Fantastic wine experience! Our host Tony was knowledgeable and did a great job providing us with background and walking us through each varietal. The number of varietals available for tasting made this experience a great value and the quality of each wine were phenomenal! Our favorites included the Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc, and several of the Cabernet Sauvignon. We enjoyed sitting in the shade on the deck overlooking the winery. It couldn't have been a better experience. Thank you again to Tony and the entire crew at Venge for such a wonderful experience!“

“Such a fun and beautiful tasting. The wines are amazing, too-most importantly!“

“ZD has become my wife's favorite winery and today we celebrated our brother in law's birthday with an afternoon tasting. As always the service (huge shout out to Samantha for her amazing service and kindness), wine and calming ambience were 5 stars. We highly recommend everyone adding this wonderful winery to your next napa experience.“

“Ben was an excellent host. Friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. He was attentive our dogs and adaptable to the range of tastes of the people in our group. It's great to get a local perspective of Spring Mountain's historical and current place in the Napa Valley wine industry. The setting was lovely and the wine was nice. Overall, a great experience, which I would recommend to others.“

“Our favorite tour and tasting across a few we have recently experienced in Napa. We enjoyed hearing about the winery's history, its dry-farming approach and touring the property. The tasting was well set-up and both fun and informative. Would strongly recommend.“

“One of my favorite wineries in Napa to visit -- the tasting room is bright, airy, and elegant, plus Martini Park on the south side offers fresh air and sun (or shade, if that's what you need). The wines on offer here are almost all winery-exclusives -- you can taste the Napa cab which is widely available, and the Monte Rosso and Lot 1 get some distribution, but it's entirely possible to come here and taste wines and never touch one of those three. Their quality in vineyard sourcing and production is top-notch, and it shows in the bottle. Definitely worth a stop!“

“Today, we had the pleasure of visiting Markham Vineyards for the first time, and we were absolutely blown away by the exceptional customer service from start to finish. From Rena’s warm and helpful assistance when I called to make a reservation, to Scotty, our incredible wine educator who shared his deep knowledge with enthusiasm, every moment was memorable.

As for the wine—what can we say? It truly captures the essence of the valley, beautifully showcasing the craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail that winemaker Kim brings to every bottle.

We’re excited to join the wine club and look forward to many wonderful years ahead. Cheers, and a heartfelt thank you to the Markham Vineyards team!“

“One of the best Merlots and Cabernet Sauvignons!
This place is for you if you are into reds.
The wine tasting is set in an area that overlooks the vineyard and taking a stroll in the their vineyard after the tasting is exactly what you need for getting a good Napa winery experience.“

“Rare for me to give 5 stars, but what a beautiful visit with Shia Wu, certified sommelier and friend, at Heitz Cellars in Saint Helena in northern Napa valley! Amazing hospitality, product knowledge, pride and presentation by Shia and wonderful wines, their history…by the cozy fireplace in their beautifully renovated wine cellars! Book your exclusive Napa wine experience with Shia right away!
👍🍷“

“Do not miss if you love port.Local family owned winery with some of the best port wine. We were looking for something that compared to the wine we had in Porto and this place has exactly what we wanted. The snacks they gave was all locally made by the family and was delicious“

“We loved our visit to Ehlers Estate. We love wine but don’t know much about it. Rosa gave us a master class in wine using words that made sense. She has worked for Ehlers for 16 years! She was so patient and kind and made us feel right at home. Thank y’all so much! :)“

“Such an amazing place! Beer, wine AND ice cream! Perfection!“

“What a lovely morning at Frank Family! Tony was excellent! Funny, helpful, knowledgable and such a delight. Great service and information and such a wonderful host. The wines were so excellent! We sat with Tony, sampled seven wines and enjoyed the gorgeous morning. Such a stellar experience! Would highly recommend. ???

Go on a weekday. It’s quiet and laid back. Very relaxing.“

“We had a delightful wine tasting experience at Schramberg! Super knowledgeable staff, beautiful garden, delicious bubbles, and hundreds of thousands of aging champagne bottles... If you don't know how champagne or sparkling wine is made, the tasting tour is both educational and exceptional! I loved how they preserved certain historical artifacts, showed photos from the 1800s when the winery was first built, and also the fact that the cave was carved to turn into a winery. But don't let me spoil all the cool stuff you will learn.
The only thing missing was some cheese/crackers at a 9 am tasting!“

“Amazing views. John, our host, was incredible and enhanced our experience!“

“Sterling Vineyards is a must-visit in Napa Valley! The experience begins with a scenic tram ride up the hillside, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards. Once at the top, the winery impresses with its modern design and welcoming atmosphere. The wine tasting itself is exceptional, showcasing a variety of well-crafted wines that capture the essence of Napa. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, enhancing the experience with insights into the wines and the winery’s history. The panoramic views from the tasting areas are stunning, making it the perfect spot to enjoy fine wine and beautiful scenery. Sterling Vineyards offers a memorable and elevated Napa experience!“

“The tour was fantastic, the wine was excellent, and our guide gave us undivided attention. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, the area, and the winery, and answered all our questions in detail. The property is absolutely gorgeous. You’ll be in great hands—definitely recommend a visit to Sinegal!“

“The tour provided was so insightful and gave a good background story to the establishment. Our guide Luisa had tons of knowledge and keep our party informed and entertained. She was such a pleasure to have. Not to mention the wine selections they have. Would highly recommend Crocker & Starr wines!“

“This place was excellent! our host for the day was Johnny and he really made the experience even better! So passionate and knowlegdeable on the subject. The biggest wine aficionado in our group loves to ask questions and tells us he sometimes ask the same questions at different places and theres a few he never gets an answer for like "How do they keep mice and other bird from eating the crops?" Well, not Johnny, he answered every single question with a smile. Excenllent wine and excenllent service!“

“Had a great experience here, we went on a Sunday I called in before hand and Debbie kindly reserved a table for my group. None of us have ever done this before and we’re not wine people at all, but it was a nice experience at $40 pp, we had actually gone to Frogs first but they were fully booked so it was great that it worked out, our host was knowledgeable and great! I would recommend!“

“Beautiful people and wine!“

“Great wines. Great people. Great views.“

“Fantesca is a hidden gem in Napa! We have had the pleasure of visiting several times and each time has been magical. The grounds, team and experience are fantastic, and the wines are the stars of the show. Highly recommend if you're looking for an exceptional experience in Napa Valley.“

“If I could give this tasting room and Luis 10 stars I would. From the story about Jean Pierre to the food pairing!! The wines were top notch!! My fave was the fifty-fifty. I can't say enough about Luis and the experience he provided. It felt like we were transported to France. The food was from Le Toque which was absolutely delish!! We all had the best time and definitely will make this place one of my regular top wineries to go to. For different reasons from wine to experience, I like wineries like darioush, Jericho canyon, quintessa, cardinale, kenzo, farniente, opus, caymus, twomey, repris & so many more... We had the best time here and it was unexpected. To think I found this gem last minute and Luis treated us like queens!! This is what a wine tasting experience should be!!“

“Just finished the most amazing and informative wine tasting ever. I highly recommend spending the time to enjoy some of the finest wines in the valley. Richard's knowledge about wine-making is absolutely amazing. The wines we tasted were out of this world amazing. I love supporting the smaller local businesses and greatly appreciate the support they provide our military. Mahalo Nui Loa Mike, Sarah, and Richard.“

“First piece of advice - check the address twice before venturing up the wrong side of the mountain to get here. Second piece of advice, try to get your tasting inside the amazingly restored home | tasting room - it wrecks of Mad Men vibes and has the Instagram-ability to go along with it. We tried the Residence Experience tasting and enjoyed it. The staff wasn't as attentive as other smaller vineyard we had visited but they were super nice and accommodating. The views from the mountain are great - and even on a hot day, being seated outside isn't a killer with the refreshing afternoon breeze that comes thru hills of the mountain.“

“I've visited Titus Vineyards several times, and every visit has been exceptional. The setting is absolutely beautiful, and the wine tasting experience is always top-notch. Their Reserve Cabernet is truly outstanding—one of the best I've ever tasted!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Visit Winery with Incredible Wine and Even Better Hospitality!

Let’s start with the fact that we may have gotten a little lost on the way (who knew Google Maps wasn’t a sommelier?), but thankfully, our host at CADE Estate Winery welcomed us with open arms and a full glass—exactly how every great experience should begin.

From the first sip to the last, the wines were chef’s kiss perfection. I wanted to revisit so many of them that I briefly considered “accidentally” getting lost again just for a second tasting. Each pour was better than the last, making it dangerously easy to forget time existed.

But the real star of the show? Our host. If winery tours were a sport, they’d be the MVP. Charming, knowledgeable, and so engaging that we could have sat there for hours, sipping and soaking in every story about the estate.

If you’re putting together a Napa tour list, CADE needs to be on it. Just don’t trust your GPS too much—getting lost might just be part of the experience!“

“Truly a hidden gem of Napa! Paula and Josh were amazing hosts for our wine tasting. The wine was incredible from whites to reds.

Though we were only in Napa for a short time, we were incredibly happy to spend part of our honeymoon here.

If you’re looking for a family oriented winery with great wine and views, this is your place!

Thank you for a memorable experience!“

“Thank you to Trinchero and our host Melissa for a wonderful experience. They were able to accommodate our larger group WITH ADVANCE NOTICE and PLANNING, not just a walk-in. We were able to meet the winemaker, Landon, and try their Sauvignon Blanc in different stages of the winemaking process. That is an experience I won't forget.Melissa is fantastic! She was so professional and knowledgeable. She helped our novice group of wine tasters really understand how to taste wine and what we were tasting. She did this in a very approachable and fun way!The vineyard and tasting rooms were beautiful! Overall, we had a wonderful morning at Trinchero!“

“how nice it looks wine was great my guest was happy from the wine trolley“

“My husband and I absolutely loved our tour at Seavey Vineyard. Our host was Max and he was super informative and funny. We really enjoyed the “boutique” atmosphere. We truly felt that we got a behind the scenes look. We signed up for a membership and just received our first shipment and we can’t wait to drink all their fantastic wines!“

“I came here on a friend's recommendation and discovered a hidden gem with possibly the cheapest tasting fees around! The outdoor seating option includes pairs of Adirondack chairs with shade umbrellas, perfect for relaxing on a sunny day. Sweet wines are my jam (pun intended), and although I picked the $15 Founder's Flight, Binniee let me switch out the two dry wines on that list for sweeter ones. All five that I tried were a hit, and I bought several bottles to take home. (Bottle prices are also incredibly reasonable.)“

“This winery is an absolute must. The property is cozy. Seating at the pavilion, tasting the wine was such a vibe. I have never tried a rose so good. The cabs we tasted were also amazing. Michael is so knowledgeable, funny and made us feel right at home.“

“Lovely day with fantastic wine 🍷“

“We visited Brian Arden winery for the Chef Experience, and it was truly amazing! As soon as we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome - especially Angel who gave us a tour of the facility. The food and wine pairings by chef Mitchel were exceptional! 10/10 highly recommended“

“What a fabulous winery! The tasting area is outside in the sun and it was a really chill, relaxing time of tasting amazing wines. Kyle was very knowledgeable and he took the time to tell us about all the wines available. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Benessere Vineyards and highly recommend you visit them!“
