“This was by far one of our favorite winery experiences while in the area. The service was excellent, and our guide was both knowledgeable and friendly (wish we remembered his name!), which made the visit even more enjoyable. The wines were delicious, and the process of purchasing and shipping bottles home was seamless. The grounds are stunning; we have amazing pictures from here. This is a winery we’ll happily recommend to friends and family, and one we’ll be adding back to our list for when we return.“

“Sarah was an amazing tour guide at Cakebread! She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the experience both fun and informative. Her passion for the winery really shined through, and her tasting recommendations were spot-on. Highly recommend asking for Sarah when you visit!“

“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!“

“We had a beautiful experience start to finish. We were welcomed with a splash of another wine in addition to our tastings, had a lovely place setting, informative and kind staff, and the wine was superb. We learned a lot, felt welcomed and relaxed, and enjoyed it all. They are also doing amazing things with agriculture! You felt the passion of their work.“

“During our visit, we had the pleasure of experiencing the beautiful surroundings of this Napa Valley winery. The outdoor area resembled a peaceful garden, featuring charming sculptures and a stylish building with an old charm. The entrance, adorned with a unique arch, led us to a souvenir shop offering a variety of items, including wines and scented candles, from which we purchased some delightful gifts.
We look forward to returning for a wine-tasting experience during our next visit.“

“The place looks very classy and the whole design really makes it look professional and luxurious.

Our waiter explained in detail about each wine we were tasting, and he was able to answer our questions.

There were 3 of us, and we each liked different wines. It really depends on personal taste preference.“

“Delightful staff. Delish food. Impeccable service!“

“A truly memorable experience at Rutherford Hill Winery!
We were hosted by Ryan, who did a fantastic job accommodating our family’s diverse wine preferences. I’m a red wine enthusiast (who will happily enjoy a white), my wife prefers white and just lightly sips reds, and our daughter leans toward white but loves experimenting with new reds. Ryan navigated all of that with ease and curated a tasting that delighted each of us.

The setting was just as spectacular as the wine—perched high on the hill with sweeping views of the valley below. We stayed cool under a canopy of umbrellas while sipping through a generous and varied lineup of wines. Everything we tasted was so good that we ended up joining the wine club on the spot!

The team was so efficient with our order that the shipment nearly beat us home! A huge thanks to Ryan and everyone at Rutherford Hill for an unforgettable afternoon in wine country. We’ll definitely be back!“

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

“Friendly service and food was amazing.“

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

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

“Amazing service!! Thanks Stephanie!“

“The yurt experience is really special“

“Terrific experience. Great host, great wine, great food, very informative. The only thing that stood out was we were reprimanded for taking photos with a state of the art camera that flys and they thought it was a drone and were spying. Kinda an awkward moment but then that, we would definitely go back but just take our Polaroid instead! 😆“

“As usual the food, service and wine at this fabulous establishment was superb and extremely good value for money. Chef John Locher serves the most delicious 7 course small plates menu intelligently paired with fabulous Mayo Wines. I strongly recommend this restaurant.“

“I just opened my first bottle of 2021 Zinfandel to go with my freshly butcher, farmed raised, grass fed filet. I moved to Kansas 5-years ago and I’m happy to be able to order my favorite CA wines that I’m so spoiled by. This Zinfandel far exceeds my expectations. Wish my Dad was still with us because this is something we shared a passion for. I know he would agree with me. Impressive Zinfandel. Thank you!!“

“Ty Caton Vineyards and George in the tasting room MADE our weekend. We did a wedding party trip with 22 people and no one has stopped talking about what a great time we had with our wine tasting. They were fun, accommodating, and the wine was delicious. We wish we could come back every weekend! This is a must stop in Kenwood for sure!“

“This winery is absolutely beautiful! Che is absolutely the best guide. The wine and champagne we had there was amazing. This was a girls trip stop and we did the Journey of the Senses tasting in the vineyard and I definitely recommend that experience.“

“I rarely leave reviews, but feel compelled to do so for this outstanding winery. The wines here (especially the cabs) are complex, mysterious, and above all, delicious. In fact they’re so interesting and subtle that describing them by tasting notes is virtually impossible. And the hospitality…to say that it is extraordinary would be an understatement. Gary is a legend!“

“Portions are just right. Great staff.“

“My husband and I brought our family to Napa for what we called The 2025 Napa Valley Great Grape Escape. One of our reservations was with Far Niente’. We were blessed to be there on the morning of first day of harvest. Our host was amazing and super knowledgeable. The grounds were perfection. Our tasting was set up and waiting for us under a private outdoor pavilion. Not only were the wines so incredible…each taste was paired with a cheese, nut and dried fruit combination. The attention to detail and the special way the vineyard made our party of 12 feel was unforgettable! We will be back!“

“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!“

“The 2023 Napa Valley Merlot and 2022 Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir were fantastic, and most surprisingly, the 2024 Sauvignon Blanc and the 2023 Carneros Chardonnay were delightful. I have never truly liked a white wine until I had those two.“

“We loved our visit to Cornerstone Cellars. We vacationed in Napa Valley and this was the first tasting on our itinerary - it turned out to be one of the best! We left with a bottle of the Fiddlestix pinot but all their wines were fantastic and our host Lisa was phenomenal. We had our Frenchie with us and even he was attended to with water and treats!

Thanks Lisa for taking care of us. Wish we could have made it back this trip but will definitely be back the next.“

“Wine was absolutely good rich on flavor.everyone was very nice and I love their patio“

“I’m a serious foodie, so I don’t hand out praise lightly—but Erika absolutely deserves it. My fiancé and I were celebrating our anniversary and stopped, only to find it had already closed for the day. Just as we were about to walk away, Erika noticed us and went out of her way to make the moment special.

She didn’t have to do anything, but her kindness, warmth, and thoughtfulness turned a small letdown into a truly memorable moment—let’s just say it involved something sweet, colorful, and completely unexpected.

We will absolutely be coming back—not just for the incredible food, but for Erika. She’s the kind of person who reminds you what genuine hospitality feels like. Thank you so much Erika“

“We were 8 people going to the winery for a tasting. We had the best experience. Marcus welcomed us and showed us around, after which James seated us and did our wine tasting. We had cheese platters as well, and James went out of his way to create our little own wine pairing with bites from the platter. The whole experience was amazing, and we really enjoyed the wines. We had such a good tike and created memories that will last us a long time. Thank you for your hospitality!“

“The service was great — we were early on a hot, hot day. James welcomed us right in and set us up with water and a glass of wine to cool us down. Even though we were more than an hour early, the kitchen prepared our bacon and the wine tasting was set up. AND IT WAS DELICIOUS! The bacon slices were over a quarter inch thick and topped with amazing sauces. Each slice paired perfectly with Napa wines produced at the Priest Ranch vineyard. If you’re a fan of bacon (and who isn’t), this pairing cannot be missed. We will recommend this tasting to all friends who find themselves in the Napa/Yountsville area!“

“Hall Wines was an experience beyond anything that I could have imagined. When we came to wine taste at Hall, our expectations were not set. I've been too many wineries in St Helena, but I've never been to Hall. The grounds were absolutely immaculate. The winery was stunningly, beautiful. Our server Alfredo Hernandez was knowledgeable, warm, friendly, inviting, and a superb host. I love talking about wanting and asking questions as I taste and both Alfredo and Tom were both a pleasure to engage with. We enjoyed absolutely everything in our experience. We enjoyed everything so much that I decided that after July of this year, I would like to switch my wine club over to Hall from another wine club that I have in Napa. Very much looking forward to our next visit!“

“Great food! We would love to have your food catered at one of our events in the future!“

“Julie, Rebecca, Sarah and all their helpers will show you a brand of hospitality unsurpassed in the valley. the organic method and love of the land serves to produce delicious wines and good vibes.
Here on the west side at the foot of the Mayacamas mountains is the promised land of milk and honey and wine.“

“Friendly service and food was amazing.“

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

“Keith was the best. My friend Audrey and I had a wonderful tasting here after traveling from Texas! We met some goats, a bunny, two dogs, and two of the winery cats. As animal lovers, it was such a fun experience for us. Thank you so much for a great visit. Would definitely come back again!“

“Love the food and service“

“Out of all of the wineries/vineyards we visited, we got the best education from B Cellars. Forest was a wealth of fascinating information about how wine is made. While we enjoyed our tasty charcuterie spread with our tastings, he showed us maps of all of the vineyards in the valley and explained the importance of the location of where a grape comes from. Our private tour of this stunning winery also included the caves, their gardens, honey bees, and it's production facility-all meticulously maintained. Wonderful experience.“

“What a fun time! Not only was the wine amazing but so was our tour guide! Jeff was so impressionable and educated on all the info and fun facts we could have possibly needed! I highly suggest requesting him personally. My mom and I had a great experience and I would definitely recommend visiting!“

“Amazing atmosphere and vibe! Food was delicious! Price was to be expected for the area but definitely worth it 🫶🏻🪷“

“ZD was my favorite experience on my recent trip to Napa. The views from the tasting room are idyllic, the wine is phenomenal, and the service is first class. Our host Sam was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much about the history of the winery, their wine making process, as well as the various labels they offer. Sam made everyone in my group feel right at home and was able to cater to each persons level of wine knowledge from introductory to expert.“

“Food is so good. Family friendly“

“We were very impressed by the wines, the service and wealth of knowledge Nick and Nicole shared. Although we are in many wine clubs we joined them because the wines are very good and additional benefits. The outdoors area is huge with great seating options and you can bring in your own picnic, which we did.

Highly recommend this place.“

“Our group enjoyed the biodynamic tractor ride. Darryl was our driver/ host and he was so knowledgeable, he made it very entertaining. We throughly enjoyed every wine in the tasting. Out of our trip including 6 wineries we all picked Benziger the best for presentation, experience, and tasting. We will definitely be back!“

“Candi! What an experience at JCB! This place was recommended by Tonya, a sommelier. I opted for a white flight and my friend went with the bubbles. The place is bright, eccentric, unique, fun and blinged out! Sitting at a high top near the peacock we began our flights with the amazing Candi! She is attentive, inviting and with each pour she described in great detail what our senses would smell & taste.
We enjoyed using the large crystal goblets on the tables. Way cooler than the typical wine glass that most tasting rooms provide. Nothing is typical at JCB. We also had the experience of being given a slice of Tom cruise cake by another large group. What are the odds ?! ( Thanks again) Come have some bubbles, talk to strangers and enjoy. We’ll be back!!“

“One of our favorites while visiting Napa! Charlie from Hagafen did a complimentary tasting at our bed and breakfast in Yountville. We loved the Pinot Noir and knew we wanted to try more. Walked into the Hagafen Cellars on a Friday afternoon and Charlie was able to help us again and give us an above and beyond experience. Would recommend the Hagafen Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc!“

“Large tasting samples so he ready and eat something before you go 😊“

“We had an unforgettable experience at this beautiful winery, surrounded by stunning vineyard views. The wines were exceptional, each with unique character and depth. Our host, Darlene was warm, knowledgeable, and made the tasting feel personal and engaging. Their passion for wine truly enhanced our visit and gave us a deeper appreciation for each pour. This winery is a must-visit for anyone seeking great wine and genuine hospitality.“

“Best wine tasting experience anywhere!“

“My husband and I visited the Handwritten Tasting Room for the first time for a bread and butter experience. Amy was a most amazing hostess!! The knowledge she demonstrated was top notch and she made us feel very comfortable. The food was delicious and the wine spectacular! We joined the club and look forward to much more with Handwritten! Thank you!“
