12 Best Wineries in Rutherford

“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!“

“Round Pond is the best! The concierge, Guy, and wine guides and educators, Juan and Cruz, make every trip there unforgettable. The location and tasting venue are gorgeous, overlooking Rutherford. And, oh yes, their wines are out of this world!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“We walked in towards the very end of their day hoping for a fun tasting on our way out of Napa, and boy did Peju deliver!

My group and I had the end-of-day tasting flight which was led by Robert on their staff! He gave us the background on the wines in the flight and even went out of his way to answer a barrage of additional questions we threw his way! He was kind enough to give us two additional little pours as well, which we greatly appreciated.

As a last-minute stop on our day trip to Napa, Peju was a pleasant little surprise! I'd be totally enthusiastic to return and try all FIVE of their Cab Francs that they've got available.“

“We had the most amazing tasting yesterday. Arrived just after 4, asked the lovely host (sorry did not get her name) to taste by the glass, instead she stayed with us and talked us through the wines. We did not expect this at the end of the day! It was our first day in the Napa, travelling from Australia, so it was so great to have this experience. Our lovely hostess & Chris were both great. Both so knowledgeable, attentive & gave us plenty of recommendations for the Napa. We appreciate this so much - thank you.“

“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.“
