13 Best Wineries in Rutherford

“Had a wonderful experience today with Dean. The property is gorgeous and the tasting was delightful! So much education and history and Dean kept us at attention and fully entertained throughout the tour. I will be back and indulge in a food pairing next time.“

“This was a beautiful experience. The vineyard was well maintained. Our tour guide took us on an ATV tour through the vineyards and helped to explain the operations and process from planting grapes to harvesting and creating wine. We were shown their small balsamic vinegar production room and was allowed to taste it. As for the wine tasting, the ones we had were bold, rich and full of favor. We ended buying 6 bottles which is not typical of us. Our tour guide and the owners were very friendly, professional and accommodating and that is the main reason we will be a repeat customer.“

“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.“

“We admittedly didn’t do much research before visiting this winery, but we were so pleasantly surprised. David was an incredible host... genuine, knowledgeable, and not the least bit pretentious. This ended up being the most personal of all the winery experiences we had. The grounds are beautiful, the wine is amazing, and the overall atmosphere made it truly memorable. We’ll absolutely return on our next visit and will be recommending this winery to friends and family.“

“Fleurylicious: when the best wine melts into your mouth like the first snowflake ever caught on a child’s tongue! Wine tasting at Fleury Estate is an exceptional, intimate experience. The wine is in a class of its own, from the aroma to the smooth taste that definitely makes you go “ummmmm.” Add to that the personal tasting we had with the owners Brian and Claudia and their son Connor, who made us feel like family, and it was the most memorable experience of our trip. Comparing the tasting experience at Fleury to that of many other wineries; well the others may leave you as dry as a cheap cab on your tongue! If you’re looking for a boutique experience instead of a production line, Fleury is a “must book” for your next Napa trip.“

“This was our second visit to Honig. The first time, a friend introduced us, and we enjoyed the wine and the environment. As part of our anniversary weekend, we decided to return, and we’re so glad we did. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly. Our host (we’re so mad at ourselves for forgetting her name!) was wonderful, knowledgeable, engaging, and generous enough to give us a quick tour of the vineyard. We weren’t expecting that, but it made our visit truly memorable to see the vines up close. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in wine country!“

“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!“

“The concierge at Harvest Inn, Maria D’Ambrosio, booked us in for a tasting at St. Supery and we had a great time! We were greeted by our host, Jerry, at the front door and given a quick tour of their tasting facilities. We sampled many of their fantastic wines in a private tasting cellar as Jerry expertly guided us through their selections. We couldn’t help but leave, having had a superb time, with several bottles of wine and their vineyard grown jams. We will most definitely be returning in the near future. Highly recommend stopping in here for their wines and wonderful people!“

“My friends and I stopped in yesterday afternoon for a tasting and were blown away by the hospitality we received from the staff. The staff that served us were James and Noemmi. Noemmi and James were very attentive and hospitable. The wines we sampled were amazing and showed a true testament to the diversity of the Napa valley wine experience. I highly recommend if you’re looking to try some amazing Napa Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and an amazing Cabernet Franc which often isn’t thought of in Napa!“

“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!“

“I don’t want to leave a five star review because I want to keep this little gem of a winery to myself!
I have been a member for over five years, and every time we visit is even better than the last. The property is beautiful, the staff is phenomenal, and I have never tasted a wine there I don’t like. I often give bottle sets as gifts and love introducing people to this winery-it never disappoints!“

“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!“

“Rutherford was one of my favorite wineries in the region. The views were stunning and Chris was a wonderful guide and true connoisseur. He shared a wealth of information and was extremely helpful throughout the entire visit. I would happily return anytime.“
