I highly recommend this winery. The wines are absolutely delicious, Kelly was superb and really explained everything so well and the views are amazing. The tasting room has so much charm. The floors are modeled on Portugal roads and the ambience is superb.

It was a pleasure visiting Gandona! Gorgeous views, intimate tasting, serious and delicious wines. Kelly's such a wonderful host who's warm and engaging, it felt like visiting an old friend. I'd love to come back!

Gandona Estate is one of the prettiest locations with absolutely amazing views! The tasting takes place in a beautiful, warm and inviting space, like being able to enjoy your favorite wine at home. The wines are delicious, especially the Cab Franc. Kelly Petrillo is wonderful, so sweet, and a pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgable about the entire Napa region and especially Gandona. She made the experience exceptional and we plan on returning on our next visit to Napa.

What a beautiful property! I've been to many wineries throughout Napa Valley & Sonoma County and this may be the best view I have experienced! Not only are the views amazing but the hospitality is off the charts! Such a personable experience with the hospitality manager and the owner! Oh and the wines... I love Cab Franc and they may have one of the best in the valley! If you have a chance, be sure to visit this property!

We were really looking forward to our visit. We showed up for our tasting and there was no one at the property. Called the hospitality manager that booked us, and didn’t receive much not even a sorry, after I forwarded the email and paid for the tasting. We booked everything in advanced so it was a bummer that a morning of our trip was waisted. It did look beautiful though, sadly the hospitality was awful over the phone and offered no resolution.

This winery has some of the stunning views and serene vibes I've seen in the valley. The wines were thrilling with the Cabernet Franc being my favorite (I'm partial to that varietal anyways). I also tasted two wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon blends, a Port, and a Chardonnay from the famous Ritchie Vineyard in Sonoma that was rich, but balanced. All of this came together under the extremely warm and non-pretentious hospitality by Kelly. She made the intimate-style tasting feel like we were in one's living room. Excellent cheeses were also served with the wine. I highly recommend for those seeking out higher-end and off-the-beaten path experiences.

Beyond delicious and an amazing hostess. From the minute you begin driving up the mountain you'll be in heaven. The view from the tasting room is stunning and the hostesses are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and will ensure you have a good time. The cheeses during the tasting were incredible too. Make sure to walk down the trail to the right of the tasting room to the lookout. You'll feel like you're in the lord of the rings, or if you have kids, the troll village in Frozen. It is beyond stunning!
