“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!”

“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.”

“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!!”

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

“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.”

“Portions are just right. Great staff.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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’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.”

“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.”
