Visited the vineyard seven years ago and wanted to go back on a recent trip. Completely redone since our last time there and now has a great tasting room and deck overlooking the vineyard. Jose was a great host. Looking forward to my shipment arriving later in the month. If you go by, tell Jose the guy from Alabama sent you and buy a couple of bottles of wine.

We stopped into this winery to purchase a case of wine and they were so accommodating. They offered for us to sample both the Sauvignon Blanc and the Cab. I preferred the red. They gave us a nice tour of the area and then we enjoyed our samples outside in the patio area. Super nice and personable family who also gives back to causes and the community (they had just sponsored a fundraiser for Juvenile Diabetics the week prior and was a stop off point for the bicycle marathon, which included Lance Armstrong).

Inglenook

The Inglenook legacy began in 1879 when Gustave Niebaum, a Finnish sea captain, wine connoisseur and entrepreneur, came to Rutherford to build a wine estate that would rival Europe's finest. When Niebaum's grandnephew, John Daniel, Jr. inherited the chateau and vineyards in the 1930s, Inglenook had already earned international acclaim. Francis and Eleanor Coppola purchased the property in 1975 and have spent forty years reuniting the original vineyards, returning winemaking operations to the chateau, and restoring Inglenook's illustrious heritage with the help of renowned wine consultant Stephane Derenoncourt and Managing Director and Winemaker Philippe Bascaules. In honor of this estate and its historical significance, we have restored the name, Inglenook.

Our future son-in-law chose this vineyard for where he proposed to our daughter. Soon after, we surprised them with a small party in a private tasting room. Staff was great and the building itself (built 1875) was fabulous. Lovely grounds and, lest I forget, fabulous wines.

Reviewed By Italycathy1 - Scottsdale, Arizona

Far Niente wines offer some of the finest selections - and their vineyard will not disappoint! The scenery is breathtaking; the wine tasting exquisite; reservations are a must and this avoids any over crowding within the vineyard tour and tasting experience. Our guide, Jessica, was knowledgeable and wonderfully helpful with insight and information sharing. The tasting moment took place in a private room thus allowing for conversation and bonding of new friends. Be sure to add Far Niente to your activity list - you won't be sorry!

We did three winery visits on our Green Hills wine tour, this was our last for the day. Grant who conducted our tasting was friendly, informative and obviously a wine enthusiast. The wines were good value and we bought the cabernet and chardonnay. The cheese, cracker and nut side plate was appreciated. This is worth a visit.

Silver Oak Cellars

We pride ourselves on making one varietal that is food-friendly and deliciously drinkable upon release. Our story begins in the early 1970's when Ray Duncan befriended winegrower Justin Meyer. The two formed a partnership and co-founded Silver Oak Cellars in 1972 with the bold vision of producing only Cabernet Sauvignon. Come experience the Silver Oak Cellars Napa Valley winery in Oakville, CA to enjoy exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon wine tasting tours.

Our goal is simple - by remaining true to time-honored traditions we strive to bring you the best the Napa Valley has to offer. We invite you to explore and savor these exceptional, limited-production wines.

What a beautiful vineyard, it’s really literally beautiful inside and out. The tasting was very personal- which we definitely prefer as we find the big group can be very chatty. I think my favorite part was sitting inside but facing out to their outdoor patio looking at the fireplace. The wine tasting was fantastic. Jerri- our wine consultant was super personal and knowledgeable. Thank you, Jerri, for making the experience extra special.

Grgich Hills Estate

Grgich Hills Estate is an iconic Napa Valley winery, consistently producing world-class wines. Vintner Hall of Fame inductee Miljenko "Mike" Grgich first earned world-wide recognition when the Chardonnay he crafted won the 1976 Paris Tasting, beating the best of France. Mike then partnered with Austin Hills to open their family-owned-and-operated winery in 1977. Committed to natural winegrowing and sustainability, we farm our five estate vineyards without artificial fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides, rely on wild yeast fermentation and use our passion and art to handcraft food-friendly, balanced and elegant wines.

I've loved Grgich Chardonnays for many years and always wanted to visit. The winery, the vineyards, and the tastings fulfilled my high expectations. The big surprise was how much I loved their Cabernets too! This should have been no surprise if I'd studies the history before arriving there. "Mike" won the Paris Tasting of 1976 for his Chardonnay, that beat all the paragons in France! He judges himself on the quality of his reds -- and I must concur that they, too, are world-class. Cheers!
