“Cakebread Cellars is such an amazing place! We came for a birthday trip from Florida, and had the most amazing time! The wine was incredible! Dean was our guide during the tasting tour. He was so knowledgeable and such a fun person! If you visit Napa, be sure to go to Cakebread Cellars and ask for Dean!”

“Everything was great! Our host was amazing and the patio for the tasting was gorgeous. Place had a lot of charm, our only regret was it was so late in our day. Next time will do it earlier.”

“Beautiful seating among the cypress. Lovely tasting with a knowledgeable and pleasant server, David. Violet, the CEO, joined us for a few minutes. The comparitive tastings of the Chardonny and the Cavernets were well done. The five us had a very enjoyable afternoon.”

“It was raining when we visited so they set us up on the porch of the main building, which I LOVED. They had the heaters going and offered a cozy blanket. We were allowed to walk literally anywhere we wanted which was such a cool experience to see the bottling process and the cellar. All wines were delish and the staff was so friendly and attentive, especially Angela and Jeff(?). Would recommend!”

“My son Steve is a club member and set up a wonderful wine tasting for us.

The drive up to Inglenook is impressive. Fountains, pools, vineyards, and old buildings set an impressive tone for the tasting.

We were greeted quickly and sat for our tasting. We learned about the history of Inglewood and the Coppola Family. Greet story!!

The Coppola’s have restored Inglewood back to its original glory.

Well Done!!”

“Delightful staff. Delish food. Impeccable service!”

“The food was absolutely amazing. Service was great too”

“Excellent food, atmosphere and great place to eat before wine tasting! ❤️”

“Stopped by Pancha’s while passing through Yountville and it’s a must-stop. It’s a great change of pace from all the fancy wineries. We’re from Ohio and really appreciated the service Ashley was so nice and did a 10/10 job.
Apparently, a lot of famous people like Howard Stern have stopped in here too. If you want a quick beer and some good grub, I’d definitely recommend it.”

“Amazing service!! Thanks Stephanie!”

“Aug. 19, 2025 - We had one of the best experiences at Villa Corona. We recommend this place very strongly. Food was fantastic and we had excellent service in a very fun atmosphere. Special thank you to owners of Villa Corona!”

“Ate there for the first time yesterday and can't wait to go back. We're vegetarian but had no trouble finding incredible offerings. The mushroom/leek risotto was the best I've had. The sweet corn tamale appetizers were surprising and flavorful, and the grilled avocado tostados fabulous! On beautiful grounds with fresh produce growing beside the restaurant. Staff was friendly and efficient. Just a great experience!”

“Excellent resturant would recommend highly and will be back again.”

“We have been to James Cole several time and bought their wine.. When we get home we ask ourselves why did we not join the wine club? Well this time we did! Kate was such a wonderful host and was able to articulate what we were experiencing on our palette. Don't miss this gem.”

“OUTSTANDING!!! Having some dietary restrictions with a set menu didn’t get in the way of a phenomenal meal!! Tania our server was beyond accommodating and cared so much to be sure our experience was 5 star. A wonderful way to start the new year. Will 100% return!!!”

“We have been members of Trefethen Winery for many years and they never disappoint us”

“You must have champagne and caviar here, it's outstanding. We absolutely love the staff; they made it so welcoming and fun. Until next time... Regiis Ova Caviar”

“Overall, I’d give this restaurant 4.5 out of 5 stars. Our waiter and the atmosphere were fantastic. Service was spectacular. To start, we ordered the beef tartare and French onion soup which were divine. The mashed potatoes were delicious with a fabulous texture. The salmon and gnocchi were executed well but the flavors were a bit underwhelming. I’d skip on those and order a steak.”

“The experience at Mayo is one of the best in Wine Country. Incredible ambience, value and hospitality. The chef curates seasonally menus matched with the wines of Mayo. Each course is explained in great detail and why it works so well with the paired wines. We have been coming for a few years now and always look forward to our return. Well done.”

“If you do not visit Fantesca, Estate & Winery you are definitely missing out. This is the best place that I have visited over the years visiting Napa. I would recommend scheduling your tasting with Roman. I want to book two tastings in a row next time just to spending more time on the property and with Roman. Put this visit close to the end of your trip because it is the best.”

“What a fun birthday celebration for my husband at Hall Wines, we had the most amazing time with phenomenal experience and their wines are sooooo good! This made it to my Top 4 fav wines globally. The staff is great too.”

“An absolute gem of a winery—graceful, inviting, and memorable in all the right ways.

Our group—six adults and one very content 10-month-old (we called ahead to be sure he was welcome)—settled in effortlessly and were rewarded with an experience that felt both relaxed and refined. We chose the veranda, where the view opened onto a lush garden alive with movement. Between sips, we caught glimpses of hummingbirds darting like jewels, butterflies drifting lazily, and even the occasional chipmunk making a curious appearance.

Our hostess guided us through the $50 tasting with warmth and expertise, bringing each of the five wines to life with just the right balance of knowledge and ease. Every pour impressed—distinct, expressive, and genuinely enjoyable. And the thoughtful touch of applying the tasting fee toward bottle purchases? That sealed the deal. Each couple left with at least two bottles in hand—a testament to both the quality of the wine and the smart, guest-friendly approach.

Inside, a wall of glass reveals rows upon rows of barrels stretching into the distance, a quiet reminder of the craftsmanship behind every glass. You can wander through this space via the gift shop, adding another layer to the experience.

A place that manages to feel both elevated and welcoming—I’d return without hesitation.”

“The chef arrange amazing dishes, not too much mixed in too many ingredient but elaborated and sophisitcated. The tuna appetizer is spectacular and melt in your month, the cheese selection with just a little layer of honey and the local organic goat cheese, the duck everything was sublime. Amazing wine selection also by glass. A mix of tasting with European influence , very light and spices used with proper accuracy .Definetivelly deserve a star it is a waste not to stop here”

“Friendly service and food was amazing.”

“The tasting experience was amazing, and our host was so wonderful—warm, energetic, and genuinely passionate about the wines, which made the whole experience even more fun. The views were unreal, easily some of the best in Napa, and the value of the tasting was hands-down the best we found.

We loved the wines so much that we ended up buying several bottles, which waived the tasting fees and made it an even better deal. Everything from the service to the scenery to the wine itself exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend a visit to Rombauer—truly a must-stop in Napa.”
