Chandon is a restaurant with a beautiful setting, offering stunning views of the Napa Valley mountainside. The outdoor tasting pavilion is a highlight, providing a futuristic and somewhat dystopian atmosphere. The recent renovation of the winery is incredible, with colorways and construction evocative of the rose, making the whole complex incredibly impressive.
Guests can enjoy unique sparkling wines, such as a sparkling herbal tea infused with Earl Grey, which has been described as tasting like a blueberry scone. The staff is very kind and professional, and the service is excellent, with hosts like Grey making tastings extra special. The sparkling wine is delicious, and the property remains stunning, a must-add location for any tasting itinerary.
The Mavericks Tasting, which includes four wines paired with small bites, has been criticized for having identical or very similar pairings. Some visitors find the winery too slick and big, preferring smaller places with staff more directly involved in the wine-making.
Overall, Chandon offers a beautiful setting, delicious sparkling wines, and great service, though some aspects, like the tasting pairings and scale of the winery, may not suit everyone. The atmosphere is relaxing and fun, with a nice charcuterie board and accommodating waiters adding to the experience.
