“The yurt experience is really special“

“It’s delicious and it serves food for our soul…“

“Had a great breakfast!!!!“

“Violetto was a lovely experience. The staff all around have hospitality mastered. The chef chooses to tell stories with his offerings and uses local ingredients (from as close by as the property garden). There is a sense of playfulness in the menu and plenty of spaciousness to interact with each course (plates are coming carefully timed for savoring). The host, manager, bartender, and waiter were all attentive, knowledgeable, approachable, and chose to appear unhurried (which is an art in any restaurant!). Memorable meal! We will return when we are back in the area.“

“Highly recommend this property! Staff was exceptional! Looking forward to returning!“

“Amazing experience, great food, excellent customer service special day out with the Fam“

“Excellent service, great atmosphere and delicious food.“

“We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and I’ve always wanted to come here! It’s kind of hard to get a reservation and I see why now the restaurant is quite small. I had an amazing shrub mocktail and they did the sommelier pairing. Because there were 3 of us we were able to taste almost the entire menu. I felt like we got a lot of food and everything was really great. The potato focaccia was great, best I’ve ever had.“

“Friendly service and food was amazing.“

“Truly amazing! Inspired and inventive menu, with a beautiful outdoor evening setting next to the vineyard. Add a few of the most delicious Napa wines and it’s an unforgettable experience. A little surprise waiting around each corner…“

“I love it hundred percent“

“We had a magical time at our wine tasting at the Saint! From beginning to end, the experience and the staff were excellent. I had accidentally booked our tasting for the wrong month, but the staff was able to quickly accommodate us anyway. The tasting was phenomenal, with four wines paired with complementary cheeses. We were looking forward to tasting some mountain wines for our last tasting of the trip, and we were blown away by the quality and depth of these wines! The tasting prices at the Saint are an absolute steal for the quality of the wines and the luxurious tasting experience.

Our wine-tasting guide, Christopher, grew up in the Napa region, and his deep knowledge of wine in general (from the vineyards to the table), and these specific wines in particular, was clear throughout our tasting. One of the things I appreciate the most about Christopher is that he is not only knowledgeable and professional, but he is also a great listener. He didn’t have a “spiel” or stiff monologue like some guides. Instead, he gave us key information as he poured each glass, answered our many questions, and talked with us about the nose and palate of the wines we tasted. His great listening was evident when he was able to respond to specific comments and make tailored recommendations based on the tasting notes we liked the most. We ended up going “off road” to try some different wines on his recommendations, including some incredible Night Wines (from a small-production, very high-elevation winery which I believe is owned by some of the same people who own the Saint—if you are in the bar, definitely try their wines!). Our group was very slow—we take a lot of notes and take our time smelling and tasting—but Christopher was very relaxed. He adapted to our pace and reassured us that we could take our time, which made the experience even more luxurious. When the wine started to go to our heads and we asked if there was any way if we could order an unplanned cheese tray, Christopher and other staff members quickly put together a beautiful platter for us with nuts, cheeses, crackers, and herbs. They were even able to provide some homemade gluten-free crackers when I let them know about my allergy. At the end of the tasting, we ended up buying several bottles, some of which we plan to put away in our cellar and are very excited to open someday.

I would highly recommend the Saint to anyone who is visiting the region and wants to try some top-notch, complex, highly structured mountain wines without driving up the mountain itself! Thank you to Christopher and everyone at the Saint who helped give us such an amazing experience!“

“We have been here many times over the years and it is always very nice.“
