Round Pond is an amazing vineyard. The large palms welcoming you along the driveway are unique yet fitting. From there, it only gets better. The staff is full of knowledge and tips while the chef in the kitchen adds a tremendous touch of passion for his plates. The mustard is amazing. Their juice ? Well, that speaks for itself! All of their wines were very good. I, being a red guy, was delightfully surprised by the Rosato De Nebbiolo. Be sure to take a walk through their farm and pay a little attention to the base of the walking paths... very impressed with all round pond has to offer.

Olive oil tasting and wine sipping at the winery! Excellent experience. Variety of olive oils and vinegars - delicious. Our guide was great. Crossed over to the winery, given a couple glasses of wine to enjoy in their vegetable garden. Perfect.

This was one of two wineries my family chose to visit during our first time in Napa. Since we were only staying for a day, I searched high and low for good wineries. Round Pond had been mentioned in a Reddit thread, but not a whole lot of articles.When I first visited their website (which is awesome) I got a feeling in my gut that this place just seemed right. I checked out their tasting experiences and saw that they charge a reasonable starting price (in comparison to others that charge up to $125) so I booked it through the site (very easy and straightforward, requires a $3 deposit so you don't even pay the tasting fee until after your visit!)The driveway to the building is gorgeous and made for an incredible introduction. The two people at the front desk were very friendly and guided my family to our table outside. The views are seriously breathtaking and indescribable. Our wine expert, Cruz, also knocked it out of the park. He was so informative about the growing/bottling process all the way down to the type of soil used when growing grapes. Any questions or concerns we had, he was happy to answer.There are also some 1-star reviews that mention that only 3 wines are provided during the tasting and that it seemed too expensive. In my personal experience, we received 4 wines to taste and we were allowed to sample a Sav Blanc when we got on the subject about how it is aged. Along with Cruz giving detailed explanations of each wine and their unique characteristics, I think the price of the tasting is well justified.I apologize for my verbosity in this review, but it truly was an incredible experience. So much that the next winery we went to failed in comparison to Round Pond. If we had known, we would've just stayed there as long as we were allowed. If I ever find myself in Napa again, I will definitely be coming back :)

Dani was quite knowledgeable and an excellent host.

We did the gourmet experience at the Olive Grove and it was wonderful. We were given an overview of the olive oil making process and our guide was very informative. The tastings were plentiful and eye-opening in the variety offered. The food tastings were truly gourmet and special.would definitely recommend

Cruz was a wonderful & knowledgeable host, the kind gentleman at front & gal at greet were wonderful as well, and the wine, FANTASTIC! bought a couple bottles of the viognier/semion blend that was delightful!
Honestly, every winery after this one will pale in comparison. Cruz, Chefs Katherine and Fernando, the rest of the staff, and wine-tasting experience far exceeded our expectations. The grounds were absolutely stunning with expansive views of the vineyard and mountains. It felt like we were in another world, and we didn’t want to leave. The wine and food is exceptional and made our entire trip. Do not miss the opportunity to visit Round Pond!

We visited Round Pond for their Il Pranzo experience and Chef Fernando went out of his way to adjust the menu perfectly for my food sensitivities/allergies. The meal was impeccable and every one of my dishes looked exactly like the others. I did not feel like I was missing anything at all! It was one of the best dining experiences of my life. I highly recommend paying Round Pond a visit, not only for their amazing wines and well versed staff, but to meet Chef Fernando and taste his incredible food.

The estate, tasting room and balcony are superb. Our host was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable of the wines and the region. The wines were delectable and we bought 6 bottles to take home. Overall a very good experience that we are still talking about.
