“Eric was the best. Super friendly. Super informative. Best experience we have had“
“An incredible experience from the time we opened to door to our close out. Sean is our new best friend and we never want to do life without him. The wine was impeccable! Our favorites were the last two Cabs we tasted. Overall we gained a new understanding of “lady wines”. Yountville what a beautiful area!“
“This place is Top Tier Wine, the Best Wine Tasting Experience in Yountville but plan months ahead, because it’s so good that it gets booked well in advance“
“My husband and I visited the Handwritten Tasting Room for the first time for a bread and butter experience. Amy was a most amazing hostess!! The knowledge she demonstrated was top notch and she made us feel very comfortable. The food was delicious and the wine spectacular! We joined the club and look forward to much more with Handwritten! Thank you!“
“This was our 3rd time doing the Bacon & Wine tasting. We can't wait to taste what chef has come up with each time - they change their sauces that go with the bacon all the time so the experience is always new and different. Their Double Barrel Cab was so good, we came back the next day and got a glass of it to go with our Priest Kitchen Smash Burger. Jose, thank you for another fantastic tasting, we look forward to seeing you again next time!“
“We had a blast participating in Silver Trident's Potato Chips Extravaganza. We were sat in a beautiful room with a grapevine chandelier above us and big comfortable chairs to relax while we enjoyed several wines that were paired with different flavored kettle chips. The experience is mind blowing and oh so yum! Wines are fantastic on their own but enhanced with food. The owners enjoyed successful careers in the travel industry with one them being the co-founder of Oceania Cruise Lines, a favorite of ours. Silver Trident is a first class experience. Beautiful tasting room, outstanding and attentive service and very nice wines. Easy 5 star rating. Book the potato chip extravaganza or their pizza pairing. It is a memorable experience!“
“Cliff Lede Vineyards offered an outstanding and genuinely differentiated experience. I visited with the Chamber of Commerce and was granted access to the Backstage Gallery, a private space that is not part of the standard guest flow. The gallery features museum-quality, world-famous artwork and is thoughtfully integrated into the tasting environment, creating a setting that feels intentional, elevated, and exclusive.
During the visit, I tasted the Sauvignon Blanc, High Fidelity, and the Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. All three wines were excellent—well-crafted, expressive, and clearly aligned with the estate’s premium positioning.
The combination of high-caliber wines, polished hospitality, and access to the Backstage Gallery makes this a hidden asset in Napa Valley and a compelling, tangible reason to join the wine club. This is a best-practice example of how experiential value and brand differentiation can be executed at a very high level.“
“This was a lovely location. We had a wonderful hostess, Amy, who was super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere for the tasting was sitting outside at a table with just our party and felt very personal and friendly. The wine wasn’t our taste, and this was one of only a couple wineries we did not make a purchase, but the experience was still super pleasant.“
“Hope and Grace is very special for my wife and I. We visited here years ago after our engagement and r coming back to see the new location was a fantastic experience. The purple, wine, and overall atmosphere is top tier. I highly recommend this be on your list when visiting Yountville!“
“Hestan Vineyards delivers a highly controlled, design-forward tasting experience that clearly reflects the brand’s precision and culinary DNA. The setting is modern and intentionally minimalist, allowing the wines and hospitality execution to remain the focal point without distraction.
The tasting environment is calm, structured, and professional, with well-paced service and clear product knowledge throughout the experience. Wines are presented with context around sourcing, style, and production philosophy, without excessive storytelling or sales pressure. The portfolio shows consistency and balance, particularly in how the wines align with food-centric sensibilities.
The property itself is immaculately maintained, with thoughtful architectural details and integrated outdoor elements that reinforce the Hestan brand’s connection to design and performance. Amenities—including the outdoor culinary components—are purposeful and reinforce the winery’s broader lifestyle positioning rather than functioning as novelty features.
Overall, Hestan Vineyards offers a polished, intentional experience that prioritizes quality, clarity, and execution. This is a strong fit for guests who value structure, modern aesthetics, and a refined approach to Napa Valley hospitality.

“We enjoyed the tour of the winery and wine making process, being able to see inside the cave. Our guide was friendly and greeted us with a nice Rose. We loved this property, their focus on quality, and how detailed oriented they are. Very fun“
“Easily one of the best wine experiences of my life. I have been wine tasting in Europe and USA before, this is an intimate and unique experience. The vertical tasting is fantastic and if you have the opportunity to do it, it is a no brainer.“
“If you want to try a taste of comfort food coupled by recipes created by THE Thomas Keller I suggest you stop in here. We had the pleasure of dining here on a night they were serving the acclaimed chefs buttermilk fried chicken. A recommendation given to us by Cam over at Finesse. Cam Im sorry if i did not spell your name correctly. His recommendation did NOT disappoint. He was also extremely kind and knowledgeable about Chef Kellers restaurants. The drinks are amazing and the salad we started with had a dressing I could drink on its own haha. I had to invest in the Ad Hoc cookbook after this dining experience so I can try to recreate this amazing fried chicken at home. Really would love to return soon and try everything they offer here.“
