I had a special reservation made for my mother's retirement on our Christmas vacation to Napa for their upgraded Library Legacy Tasting. I also chose Coppola wineries as my mother's father was 1 of the personal doctors for Howard Hughes and my grandparents knew Mr Coppola personally as he and Howard we deeply involved in the film industry together. We were very excited for the experience with the wines and the property. When we arrived they informed us they could not find the reservation or the charge for the reservation and would not be able to accommodate us. I was confused and thought maybe there was a error in whoever I spoke with and placed the reservation. We opted to stay because we had driven all that way. As we sat at the bristo and got wine with a charcuterie board and other small snacks. I looked at my bank account and there was a charge for the 269.00 from Inglenook. I went to the front desk and said I did have a charge and they confirmed the charge amount looked to be the right amount for a library tasting. The woman gave me the card of the manager and said to call him on Monday and he could refund us the charge as there was confusion about the reservation. I have been playing phone tag with him for almost a year because he is constantly out of the office. I called again last Friday and he would not be in till Tuesday. Tuesday rolled around and by 11am I still had not received a call. When I called and inquired about the confusion, charge and refund he said that I had made a reservation for Nov not Dec. I told him that was a error made by his staff at booking and I was also informed by his staff I would be able to get a refund for the tasting. He refused to give me a refund, apologies or take any responsibility for the actions of his, his establishment or staff with the mistake. Saying I had received a email with the incorrect date and I did not rectify it and I was 100% responsible for missing my appointment. I told him I understood and accepted my half of the responsibility in I did not in detail look over the email sent to me, but where was his responsabily in the mishandling of the reservation and verbal agreement I could get a refund for the tasting. I am mortified and disappointed at Inglenook in allowing their manager to operate as he is, his handling and demeanor towards me. He was so rude and unapologetic for any part he or his staff played in this whole experience up untill the very moment he cursed under his breath and hung up on me.
Please take your money else where if you value a quality experience such as Chateau Montelena and Castillo de Amorosa among others top wineries.

Beautiful chateau and grounds. History museum inside. Beautifully curated gift shop and friendly staff. I’m glad we did not miss this stop!

5 stara for ambience, service, and the fact that kids are allowed, 3.5 stars for the wine itself. We had a 6 year old with us and very few places in Napa allow kids these days, but this one was on several lists. The setting is gorgeous and we had great service in the bistro. Our party of 6 adults and 2 kids ordered a bunch of food like muffaletta sandwiches and a variety of cheeses, and order all 5 glasses of wine and turned it into a tasting. We had a nice big area to ourselves and we were encouraged to wander the property with our wine if we wanted. The property is huge and feels like an old Europe chateau. The wines were decent but not amazing, especially for the price. But I liked the wines here better than Hoopes, another kid-friendly winery, and I'd definitely come back if I was in the area with my kid again.

Our tasting with David was very pleasant. Inglenook is already picturesque, much like Coppola’s filmography, but David’s knowledge of the estate and the wine industry took our tasting to the next level. Definitely make time for Inglenook and see if David is pouring that day.

So laid-back, a lot of history. Walking welcome. Not pricey at all. I love it.
Sofija Gligorov
The best one in Napa, not pretentious, great service, you can take a wine by the glass and walk around the grounds no problem. We loved it

Our first stop during our trip to Napa and we were starstruck!! The building and grounds are absolutely gorgeous. Two people who work there took time to stop and chat with us and tell us about the history of Inglenook and their wine options. We made a bistro reservation and had fun walking around the 2nd floor museum with a glass of wine in hand. Highly recommend working in a stop at Inglenook!

This is the only winery tour i've been on, and i've been on many, where they don't give you wine to sip on the tour. The whole experience was odd from the beginning. Our guide was a bit abrasive and not super welcoming. The whole thing felt very scripted and impersonal. When we finally got to tasting the reds were just ok, yet VERY expensive. Also, its 110 per person for the lame tour and tasting 4 wines. When we didn't buy anything we got the clear message it was time to leave. If they offered some sort of discount on the very expensive tasting fee, if you buy wine, i would have, but they didn't, so i didn't. This is the sort of place they feel you are privileged to be at, thus the attitude and pricing. So many better, smaller and more appreciative wineries in the area, so we won't be back. The only reason i gave it 2 stars is the grounds are pretty, but that's about it.

Yeah… the original 5 star is too early. Drop to 4 star. Take a second thought if you want to buy their wine and let them ship to you.
We can not reach the winery by phone after we were informed our email was wrong. They never pickup our phone call. Eventually we were able to get connected by sending email. And we find our mail address is also wrong. ——— First wine tasting experience. Shout out to Thomas who elevated our experience to best and beyond!

Inglenook is a storied Napa Valley estate that seamlessly blends history, film, and fine wine into an unforgettable experience. Walking through the cinema museum, curated by Francis Ford Coppola, felt like stepping into a time capsule of filmmaking, with vintage equipment and memorabilia adding a unique touch to the visit.The library wine tasting was equally remarkable, offering a deep dive into Inglenook’s legacy through its beautifully aged reds, each sip revealing layers of complexity and craftsmanship. The estate itself exudes old-world charm, making every moment—from exploring its rich past to savoring its exceptional wines—a true celebration of Napa’s heritage.
On a brief visit with my parents, we stopped in at this place that they hadn't been to in about 10 years. It was beautiful! So peaceful, relaxing, and it wasn't busy when we were there. We were welcomed into a beautiful old-world style luxurious space to peruse the well-stocked gift shop, then moved outside for some lovely wine tasting on the patio, with coffee at the end just to round everything out. The staff were friendly, attentive, and very much made us feel like we were having quite a posh experience. I loved their sauvignon blanc and pinot noir, in particular. The grounds were simply gorgeous, with amazing views of the valley, beautiful fountains, and the lovely smell of flowers all around. If you're up that way, it's worth a drop in for sure!

Inglenook wasn’t originally on our itinerary, but we’re so glad we made the stop. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We especially loved being able to wander the grounds, soaking in the beautiful scenery and rich history. Highly recommend stopping in for at least a glass of wine and some tasty cheese!

Joanie was our Wine Educator at Inglenook yesterday and we were all super impressed with her vast knowledge of the property, wine making, and Napa itself! The chateau was stunning and the tour of the cave was very interesting. Doesn't hurt that the wine was delicious, too!
