Raymond Vineyards

At my first visit I decided to become a member. The tasting room is very artsy, the grounds are small but nice to walk. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Additionally, you get free monthly access to other tasting rooms at couple of nearby wineries.

Wine taste is very subjective, so that's a bit more difficult to rate. What one person likes might be unpleasant to another. I've been at wineries where I don't like any of their wines, as well as one where I liked 9 out of 10 tastings. At Raymond, I like several of their reds, and all of their whites. Over all a very pleasant tasting experience worth repeating here and there.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We were staying in Sonoma and decided to make the trek out to St. Helena to visit Raymond Vineyards on our last day - and honestly, it ended up being one of the best decisions of our trip! 🍷

We booked the Journey of the Senses tour thinking it would be a fun little adventure… but it totally blew our expectations out of the water. Every moment was unique, immersive, and just plain fabulous.

And then there’s Ché … She was EVERYTHING! Not only incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, but also warm, funny, and just an absolute joy to be around. She made the whole experience unforgettable.

After multiple winery stops during our trip, ending with Ché at Raymond was the perfect finale. Napa’s BEST, hands down. We’re already planning our next trip and will 100% go out of our way for another tasting with her!

Partipated in a tour here. Wine was fantastic and our guide, Amy, was amazing

Che created such a fun, educational and personal experience. We arrived at Raymond via the Wine Trolley. Super fun way to experience different places that may not hit your radar. Made a jewelry purchase, too, at Raymond! :)

Loved this place... Loved the vibe... Unfortunately I'm not a big wine drinker but we had alot of fun.

We loved the eclectic atmosphere at Raymond! Our guide Che was excellent! She had great energy and gave us so much good information on the tour.

Great place…fun and eccentric! Che did a fantastic job with lots of personality.
Thank you for the educational experience and the fun.

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.

My wife and I went there in October 2024.
Fun times, when you go ask for Ruby. My wife and I were first time winery visitors and had no idea what to try. Thanks to Ruby we gained the knowledge of what wine is good, better, best. When you go here you must try the wine making class it was super fun 🤩. Thank you Ruby and hope you get a huge raise for being you.

Visited Raymond Winery yesterday and Amy was our host!! What a wonderful experience we had!
We were in the crystal cellar which is always fun! But what makes our time their so special is our host Amy!! She is so gracious and knowledgeable and her approach is always very nice. Thank you again for a wonderful time!

Very good tasting experience. This was our first time at Raymond though we are members at another JCB winery. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Tasting was in the crystal cellar - a little unusual ambience but it was fun. Lily was very knowledgeable and helped point out the flavors in the wines.

We had the most amazing experience at Raymond Vineyards, and a huge part of that was thanks to Mel. From the moment we arrived, Mel’s passion for the vineyard and its rich history was absolutely contagious.

She brought the story of Raymond to life with such warmth and authenticity—you could truly tell how much she loves what she does. Her knowledge, energy, and attention to detail made our visit unforgettable, and she struck the perfect balance between education and fun.

If you’re visiting Raymond Vineyards, do yourself a favor and spend time with Mel. She’s a gem and made our time there truly special.

Ché was an amazing hostess of our private “Journey of the Senses” tour. She clearly has energy and passion for what she does and was very informative and friendly throughout. Plenty of great wines, food pairings, wine enjoyment lessons and selfie opportunities!

Outstanding experience tasting at Raymond Vineyards. Great wine selections (as usual) - but this was our first time tasting in The Grove. Highly recommended on a hot day to sit beneath the shade of the trees. In addition; we had a 2yo with our party - The Grove is perfect for little ones to run around without disturbing other guests. Our host - Mel - was absolutely fantastic - personally engaged, knowledgeable, super “social” and a generally awesome atttiude!

Raymond Vineyards is unlike any other winery experience—it’s bold, theatrical, and wildly fun. From the moment we stepped into its deliriously extravagant decor, we knew we were in for something special. The Winemaker for a Day experience was an absolute highlight, letting us blend our own Bordeaux-style red wine, design a label, and take home a bottle of our creation
