“The best steak burrito I have ever had . We. Take out Harley’s down once a week in the summer”

“My parents have been club members since 2003 so we come here often. We came in for my dad’s birthday and had an amazing time. The young woman who poured for us, Melissa, was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and conversational, no rehearsed monologue that’s written on the menu. Remembered likes and dislikes and geared our tastings individually. She also brought my dad an extra special pour to celebrate. Great time!”

“Really nice wines, attentive and genuine staff. A great, family owned winery with an interesting story that provides grapes to many other wineries. Artisan tasting was a really lovely mix of 3 cheeses, a cured prime rib, apricots and almonds. Ricardo did awesome, and appreciated Sam's coordination. We'll be back.”

“Myles made our experience absolutely exceptional! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines and shared everything in a way that felt engaging and easy to understand. Thank you Myles we will be back!”

“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 fiancé and I just got engaged at Inglenook. The wine was incredible! Thank you for making it an unforgettable weekend, Kim. Kim did our wine tasting for us and gave us a tour of the beautiful property. This chateau is definitely one you want to visit. Request Kim. She’s great, enthusiastic and all around a great tour guide. Thank you Inglenook, you will forever be a part of our lives!”

“Delightful staff. Delish food. Impeccable service!”

“Gary was the most knowledgeable and patient wine educator; willing to spend his time telling stoeies of his long experience in the wine industry. I had the pleasure of learning a lot from him. The wines, of course, are without comparison, esp the Cab Sauv's. Very recommended experience!”

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

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

“Had to check if Pancha's was still there. Super sad to see "Temporarily Closed" on Google. Seasonal?? The bad reviews crack me up, because if you're not small town, you're definitely not going to dig this place. There's plenty of fancy places to go. If we're going back, this is one of the first places I want a drink. Hope everyone is good at Pancha's! ? My advice, go here, drink whiskey, tip generously, chat with the locals, and leave your ego out on the curb. ✌?”

“The yurt experience is really special”

“Portions are just right. Great staff.”

“Amazing service!! Thanks Stephanie!”

“We had a tasting experience with Samantha and had a wonderful time. We are experienced wine lovers, and have been to many tastings around the world but this one definitely stands out not only for the fabulous wines, but for the expertise of our guide. She was extremely knowledgable about not only the area and the wines themselves, but educated us on the surrounding areas and the different terroir, which makes each wine area in Napa very unique. She taught us a lot of things that we didn’t know yet, and was very warm and genuine the entire time. We’ve been to some tastings in the area that are not this well organized and thorough, so we appreciated Samantha going the extra mile.

The wines were excellent and their different varieties of different years of Cabernets tasted together made this winery very unique.

This winery is a family run business, and we learned that one of the sons who works there full-time is also a builder by trade - who was responsible for the amazing interiors and high-end design finishes in the tasting room and the outdoor terrace. This place would be perfect for a higher end event!

Thank you, Samantha for the wonderful experience. We definitely will be back next time
We are in Napa.”

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

“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!”

“One of the best wineries in Napa. One of my personal favorites and very accommodating in letting us do a tasting last moment. Dustin, our host was charming and personable. Thank you for an amazing experience.”

“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”

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

“Great food , great service”

“Bouchon Bistro will forever hold a special place in our hearts. My wife and I have been coming here for over 12 years, and it’s not only one of our all-time favorite restaurants; it’s a must every time we visit Napa. We’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, our engagement, and soon we’ll be back in December for our babymoon.

The food is consistently exceptional. The roast chicken is the best we’ve ever had, the steak frites is divine, and the salade lyonnaise is indulgent perfection. You simply have to end the evening with the profiteroles and crème brûlée; it’s non-negotiable.

But what truly sets Bouchon apart is the team. The staff goes above and beyond to make every visit special. Their hospitality is world-class, and it’s clear they take immense pride in what they do.

Thank you, Bouchon, for being such an enduring part of our lives and memories. We can’t wait to be back soon.”

“If you’re looking for the best Mexican food in the area, Tacos Garcia is the spot. I’ve eaten here multiple times, and the food never disappoints—fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying.
The al pastor nachos are a personal favorite. Perfectly seasoned meat, gooey cheese, and just the right amount of crunch—every bite hits. Their tacos are also excellent. I’ve had both the al pastor and the carnitas, and both were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Just a heads-up: they run spicy! Not overwhelmingly so, but if I had known ahead of time, I probably would’ve asked for a little crema on the side to balance things out.
I also tried a quesadilla, which was really tasty, but not served in the traditional handheld style I’m used to. It came cut into pieces, on a bed of lettuce with salsa—more of a plated dish than a grab-and-go option. Since I work in the vineyards, I usually prefer something easier to eat with my hands on the go. That said, the flavors were still on point.
One important tip: Tacos Garcia is cash only, so make sure you have some money on you before you go.
Overall, I really love the food here. It's flavorful, consistent, and made with care—hands down the best Mexican in this area.”

“We had such a memorable experience at the Reserve Room at Mayo Family Winery, honestly one of our best visits yet, and we've been several times. The highlight this time was definitely the food. There's a new chef, Oscar, and he is fantastic. Every dish felt thoughtful, beautifully executed, and perfectly balanced with the wines. You can really tell there's a fresh energy in the kitchen. The pairing was exceptional, easily the best we've had here. Each course elevated the wine in a way that made the whole experience feel cohesive and elevated, without ever being too heavy or overdone. We've always loved Mayo, but this visit stood out. Between the upgraded food program and the consistently great wines, it felt like a true step up. We ended up buying wine before leaving, which says it all. Can't wait to come back.”

“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”

“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.”

“We love Roman! He is the most approachable, unpretentious guide. He leans into relationship, beauty, and nature. Conversation flows. We’ve requested Roman over and over. He is delightful, knowledgeable and kind. He makes the experience. We are wine members because of him, and the wine is just so, so good. Every wine is rooted in Roman and Fantesca! He IS the face of Fantesca. We couldn’t love this experience more.”

“Friendly service and food was amazing.”
