50 Best Wineries in Saint Helena

“Hall Wines was an experience beyond anything that I could have imagined. When we came to wine taste at Hall, our expectations were not set. I've been too many wineries in St Helena, but I've never been to Hall. The grounds were absolutely immaculate. The winery was stunningly, beautiful. Our server Alfredo Hernandez was knowledgeable, warm, friendly, inviting, and a superb host. I love talking about wanting and asking questions as I taste and both Alfredo and Tom were both a pleasure to engage with. We enjoyed absolutely everything in our experience. We enjoyed everything so much that I decided that after July of this year, I would like to switch my wine club over to Hall from another wine club that I have in Napa. Very much looking forward to our next visit!“

“Amazing atmosphere and vibe! Food was delicious! Price was to be expected for the area but definitely worth it 🫶🏻🪷“

“Our best visit during our trip to Napa! We visited Domaine Carneros, B.Cellars, Davis Estates, Grgich, and Prager Port. We had a nice visit at all of those vineyards, but none of them came close to the hospitality, friendliness and generosity that Ryan Morales showed us during our tasting at Maxville. The wines were fantastic, as was meeting Cullen...a member of the wine making team. The entire visit was spot on from the minute we arrived, to the tour of the grounds, to the tasting. Exceptional, proud to be a club member at Maxville...can't wait until our next visit.“

“We got to visit in August and it was incredible!!! Everything from the drive up the mountain, the views, the hospitality and the WINES!! We visited without the intention of joining the club, but the experience changed our minds! It was truly a must do when you're in Napa!“

“The 2023 Napa Valley Merlot and 2022 Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir were fantastic, and most surprisingly, the 2024 Sauvignon Blanc and the 2023 Carneros Chardonnay were delightful. I have never truly liked a white wine until I had those two.“

“Moim zdaniem najlepsze wina w Napa. Bardzo miła i pomocna obsługa, która z uwaga wsłuchuje się w oczekiwania gości!“

“Such a fun and beautiful tasting. The wines are amazing, too-most importantly!“

“Really enjoy our experience today. Dana was absolutely lovely 😊“

“Let me tell you, this winery will transport you to a completely different place if you’re looking for quite the experience. I was celebrating my recent engagement with my fiancée in the Red Room with Maha:Maja (sp?). In any case, her energy, vibrance, and attention to care are unmatched and my party had a wonderful time. Thank you for everything!“

“As usual we were greeted graciously by Nurit who is an excellent host at Ehlers. She is very knowledgeable about the wines and was very attentive to our needs. One cannot ask for a better host. And of course the wines were delicious. Thank you Nurit for the great time & memories.“

“Had our first visit to this beautiful winery on Thursday. This was our 4th visit to Napa Valley and this is definitely a top 5. Feels like you're visiting a friend in the countryside. They have beautiful gardens filled with flowers and fruit. If you love dogs this is the place for you. We met the 11 year old golden and heard there are more puppies there too. The people are so friendly and knowledgeable and the wines are so delicious and different than the other wineries. The artwork a the bottles makes it even more special.Thinking Cap white is a blend of grapes we have never heard of and was super delicious. The Pro Que No is a fantastic easy to drink Red blend. We left with 2 bottles of that one. Every wine we tasted was a winner. Met Julia (the winemaker) and her wonderful husband (the farmer). Two really down to earth people who seem to love what they do. Go visit. You will not be disappointed!!“

“Large tasting samples so he ready and eat something before you go 😊“

“Such an amazing place! Beer, wine AND ice cream! Perfection!“

“I had an outstanding experience at Flora Springs winery yesterday. I had an early reservation (dont judge!) and when I arrived, it was set up on their beautiful patio. I had an excellent host, Diana. She talked me through the different wines and even talked me through some Italian varietals that I didn't know for an upcoming trip I have. Diana is very knowledgeable and incredibly personable and a true asset to the Flora Springs team. Overall, it was a truly great day!“

“Omg! Thank you Clif Winery! I had ordered wine back in February and was going to pick it up in May during my mom’s b-day celebration. Because that had to be cancelled, they delivered the wine to me today, along with a few bonus bottles! Love these guys! Thank you Ashley Cox, John Sundin and the whole Clif Winery Family! :)“

“Rare for me to give 5 stars, but what a beautiful visit with Shia Wu, certified sommelier and friend, at Heitz Cellars in Saint Helena in northern Napa valley! Amazing hospitality, product knowledge, pride and presentation by Shia and wonderful wines, their history…by the cozy fireplace in their beautifully renovated wine cellars! Book your exclusive Napa wine experience with Shia right away!
👍🍷“

“One of my favorite wineries in Napa to visit -- the tasting room is bright, airy, and elegant, plus Martini Park on the south side offers fresh air and sun (or shade, if that's what you need). The wines on offer here are almost all winery-exclusives -- you can taste the Napa cab which is widely available, and the Monte Rosso and Lot 1 get some distribution, but it's entirely possible to come here and taste wines and never touch one of those three. Their quality in vineyard sourcing and production is top-notch, and it shows in the bottle. Definitely worth a stop!“

“Love Amizetta! 8 of us were just there yesterday. Great wine, great views, and Frankie was a great host! We had a lot of fun. I look forward to going again in the future to see the finished renovations!“

“Do not miss if you love port.Local family owned winery with some of the best port wine. We were looking for something that compared to the wine we had in Porto and this place has exactly what we wanted. The snacks they gave was all locally made by the family and was delicious“

“Today, we had the pleasure of visiting Markham Vineyards for the first time, and we were absolutely blown away by the exceptional customer service from start to finish. From Rena’s warm and helpful assistance when I called to make a reservation, to Scotty, our incredible wine educator who shared his deep knowledge with enthusiasm, every moment was memorable.

As for the wine—what can we say? It truly captures the essence of the valley, beautifully showcasing the craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail that winemaker Kim brings to every bottle.

We’re excited to join the wine club and look forward to many wonderful years ahead. Cheers, and a heartfelt thank you to the Markham Vineyards team!“

“The tour was fantastic, the wine was excellent, and our guide gave us undivided attention. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, the area, and the winery, and answered all our questions in detail. The property is absolutely gorgeous. You’ll be in great hands—definitely recommend a visit to Sinegal!“

“The tour provided was so insightful and gave a good background story to the establishment. Our guide Luisa had tons of knowledge and keep our party informed and entertained. She was such a pleasure to have. Not to mention the wine selections they have. Would highly recommend Crocker & Starr wines!“

“One of the best Merlots and Cabernet Sauvignons!
This place is for you if you are into reds.
The wine tasting is set in an area that overlooks the vineyard and taking a stroll in the their vineyard after the tasting is exactly what you need for getting a good Napa winery experience.“

“Beautiful people and wine!“

“Fantesca is a hidden gem in Napa! We have had the pleasure of visiting several times and each time has been magical. The grounds, team and experience are fantastic, and the wines are the stars of the show. Highly recommend if you're looking for an exceptional experience in Napa Valley.“

“Pleasant to be here and learn about the wine aroma wheel. It’s been a very educational experience, learning to sense and smell aromatized, vaporized particles. This is a wine smelling event rather than a wine tasting one—there are only five basic tastes, but the aroma wheel captures hundreds of different scents 😂 the signature insignia line is great.“

“Great wines. Great people. Great views.“

“If I could give this tasting room and Luis 10 stars I would. From the story about Jean Pierre to the food pairing!! The wines were top notch!! My fave was the fifty-fifty. I can't say enough about Luis and the experience he provided. It felt like we were transported to France. The food was from Le Toque which was absolutely delish!! We all had the best time and definitely will make this place one of my regular top wineries to go to. For different reasons from wine to experience, I like wineries like darioush, Jericho canyon, quintessa, cardinale, kenzo, farniente, opus, caymus, twomey, repris & so many more... We had the best time here and it was unexpected. To think I found this gem last minute and Luis treated us like queens!! This is what a wine tasting experience should be!!“

“My husband and I absolutely loved our tour at Seavey Vineyard. Our host was Max and he was super informative and funny. We really enjoyed the “boutique” atmosphere. We truly felt that we got a behind the scenes look. We signed up for a membership and just received our first shipment and we can’t wait to drink all their fantastic wines!“

“I've visited Titus Vineyards several times, and every visit has been exceptional. The setting is absolutely beautiful, and the wine tasting experience is always top-notch. Their Reserve Cabernet is truly outstanding—one of the best I've ever tasted!“

“This winery is an absolute must. The property is cozy. Seating at the pavilion, tasting the wine was such a vibe. I have never tried a rose so good. The cabs we tasted were also amazing. Michael is so knowledgeable, funny and made us feel right at home.“

“Jeffery is a wonderful host!

We had an amazing time at DAV. A 90 minute 1 on 1 with Jeffery was so much fun. He taught us about the history of Pritchard Hill and the family winery. He was knowledgeable and easy to converse with. Can’t recommend this winery enough. Such a delightful experience and will absolutely be back.

It’s a bit out of the way but make sure you include this intimate venue in your Napa trip. Can’t recommend enough!“

“Truly a hidden gem of Napa! Paula and Josh were amazing hosts for our wine tasting. The wine was incredible from whites to reds.

Though we were only in Napa for a short time, we were incredibly happy to spend part of our honeymoon here.

If you’re looking for a family oriented winery with great wine and views, this is your place!

Thank you for a memorable experience!“

“First piece of advice - check the address twice before venturing up the wrong side of the mountain to get here. Second piece of advice, try to get your tasting inside the amazingly restored home | tasting room - it wrecks of Mad Men vibes and has the Instagram-ability to go along with it. We tried the Residence Experience tasting and enjoyed it. The staff wasn't as attentive as other smaller vineyard we had visited but they were super nice and accommodating. The views from the mountain are great - and even on a hot day, being seated outside isn't a killer with the refreshing afternoon breeze that comes thru hills of the mountain.“

“We had the pleasure of having Ian walk us through their beautiful wine selection, couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ian was so knowledgeable about the history and flavor of the wine, absolutely delicious. Would 10/10 times come back.“

“My wife and I came here on a whim one rainy Saturday morning and Tanya was kind enough to host us. She was extremely knowledgable and so down to earth, we really enjoyed the wines, conversation and setting. I can't recommend this winery enough!“

“Ben was an excellent host. Friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. He was attentive our dogs and adaptable to the range of tastes of the people in our group. It's great to get a local perspective of Spring Mountain's historical and current place in the Napa Valley wine industry. The setting was lovely and the wine was nice. Overall, a great experience, which I would recommend to others.“

“This was my second visit, and I brought a crew of first-timers with me. Jojo was amazing—smart, passionate, and totally dialed in on both the wine and the A&O story. Our group had questions (a lot of them), and she made the whole thing feel effortless and personal.

The wines were next-level. So good that all of us bought bottles, and a few of us ended up joining the club.

Bottom line? This place delivers. Highly recommend.“

“UNBELIEVABLE! We had an overall EXCEPTIONAL visit at Reverie II Vineyard and Winery! We were warmly greeted by Daniel who gave us an overview of the winery as we sat around the fire pit enjoy the music, view, and tastings. The grounds and view complimented the wines. Both spectacular! This is a MUST visit. This place is only getting better! We loved visiting Reverie, we joined the club, and will definitely be back! Thank YOU! ??“

“how nice it looks wine was great my guest was happy from the wine trolley“

“If you want to learn about wines, it’s the place to visit“

“Our party of 4 enjoyed a wonderful tasting with Donna on Friday, October 18, 2024, a breezy but gorgeous morning! We were treated to the Sherwin Family story of renaissance from destruction in 2020 to a complete rebuild in 2023. As a Veteran, the patriotic flair of the vineyard was particularly attractive and the bottle itself is spectacular! Highly recommend this Vineyard!“

“I came here on a friend's recommendation and discovered a hidden gem with possibly the cheapest tasting fees around! The outdoor seating option includes pairs of Adirondack chairs with shade umbrellas, perfect for relaxing on a sunny day. Sweet wines are my jam (pun intended), and although I picked the $15 Founder's Flight, Binniee let me switch out the two dry wines on that list for sweeter ones. All five that I tried were a hit, and I bought several bottles to take home. (Bottle prices are also incredibly reasonable.)“

“From our first step on Anderson’s, we were welcomed and treated like family. Richard, the winemaker, was our host and he gave us one of the best wine tours I’ve experienced - and we went to Bordeaux and Champagne last year! His technical knowledge of the scientific winemaking process combined with his years of real-world experience and excellent storytelling made for a memorable afternoon that passed by so much faster than we wanted it to. The wine was absolutely terrific, we learned so much, and left feeling like we had made a new friend. Thank you for sharing the art of winemaking with us and for your dedication to your craft! The quality of Anderson’s is absolutely a reflection of their staff, and it was a delight to get a glimpse of that through our cave tour. Thank you!“

“Lovely day with fantastic wine 🍷“

“Wonderful visit. Make a point to stop here. Chase is a smaller vineyard with a very comfortable vibe that’s just off the beaten path. The wine is very impressive. Chase’s history stands in stark contrast to the newer, commercial operations in the valley.

Evan was helpful and so great to chat with. Next time we are in the area we will make a point to stop by.“

“Friendly service and food was amazing.“

“Smith-Madrone is a must! We had family from Holland visiting who wanted an old-school Napa experience and this place didn't disappoint. The drive up the mountain is breathtaking! We were then greeted by Charlie and taken to the barn where we began our tasting. We tried their Riesling (the best in the valley), a bright Rosé, a refreshing and crisp Chardonnay, their current release Cabernet Sauvignon and their cook's flat Cabernet Sauvignon. Delicious! Smooth, nice acidity, mineral, crisp red fruit forward and different than the valley floor wines. Better! I could have listen to Charlie talk all day about the history of the property and his predictions of what the future holds for Napa Valley. I loved seeing the wine makers out there pouring their love and care to their vines. No chandeliers, wine snobs in suits and no overpriced wine here. This is an old-school Napa experience and that's what put Napa on the map to begin with. Enjoy! ?“

“What a fabulous winery! The tasting area is outside in the sun and it was a really chill, relaxing time of tasting amazing wines. Kyle was very knowledgeable and he took the time to tell us about all the wines available. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Benessere Vineyards and highly recommend you visit them!“
