I booked a wine tasting for my girlfriend and me back in the summer 2019. We both felt very welcome despite being rather young (22 & 24) and not knowing much about wine. Nick was our host and guide and he made this day an unforgettable experience. Since we both didn't know that much about wine, he explained everything very well and was really nice & friendly. He was very funny too! And of course the wine offered was great and matched perfectly to the delicious appetizers. It was an amazing experience! Since then I had a few tastings but none of them were as good as this one. Looking forward to traveling to the US & Napa Valley again and enjoying another great tasting, hopefully with Nick!

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.

Arrived at Silver Oak after visiting 3 other wineries. Silver Oak surpassed our expectations. Natalie was THE BEST guide and you could tell she had been with Silver Oak for 15 years. Beautiful property and awesome tour! Many of the tours give you a set amount to “sample” we had very generous pours and if we wanted more...Silver Oak delivered! Would highly recommended! !

Oakville Grocery

A country store well stocked with local products and provisions from purveyors of fine food and wines.

Reviewed By NorbG - San Clemente, United States

Visiting Oakville Grocery for lunch feels like stepping into a John Steinbeck novel. A vintage style building houses amazing hot or cold sandwich options, Wood-fired pizza and a huge selection of local wines. The outside patio provides a perfect place to enjoy your meal while looking out over acres of vineyards on either side of the road. Any visit to Napa must include a stop at Oakville Grocery.

We always enjoy stopping at Miner for a tasting. Their wines are reasonably priced and delicious. We buy a case of Rosato every year. So excited to see that the tasting room has been completely remodeled. What a great look and wonderful space for tasting. The hospitality here is very nice and they will take good care of you. We highly recommend this tasting stop on the Silverado trail!

Far Niente Winery

Reviewed By Vacationer719930 - Westminster, United States

My wife and I decided to celebrate our 45th anniversary with a trip to the Napa Valley. The last winery we visited was by far our very best visit ever, even after many years of travels to the Napa area. We had setup our individual wine tasting as a filler for our last day of the stay, not realizing what a great decision it was to go to Far Niente. Cynthia our greeter and Reed Gomes our host were both exceptional. These are two people who fully understand what hospitality means and they do it very well indeed. We not only felt very welcome but we felt as though we were visiting with close friends. We both greatly appreciated our experience provided by Reed and Cynthia, the virtual tour of the beautiful grounds, the personalized wine tasting and their attention to the fine details that matter made this a visit that we will cherish, and we will certainly return as a result.

Cardinale Estate Winery

Reviewed By funtrip5566 - Houston, United States

Jake Claus is the man, he educated us on Napa's mountain wine locations, terroir, elevation, and everything you need to know about wine making and more. Then we set down to chill and drink some superb mountain wine and Cardinale vintages. He has done such a great job that I went back to the winery the next day to make a purchase as a souvenir. Well worth the tasting price tag! Highly recommended

Family owned and operated since 1975, Paradigm creates beautiful estate wines from the world renowned Oakville AVA. Heidi Barret has been the winemaker at Paradigm since the first bottling.

Reviewed By ihrtkpo2019 - Jackson, United States

Paradigm only hosts 3 groups per day with COVID. So when you visit you will have the place to yourself and complete attention. We met our host Maryann and she provided a tour of the grounds as well as informing us of the history of the brand and the wine making. They are very passionate about creating quality wine at Paradigm. I would definitely recommend visiting but you definitely need a reservation.

Had a lovely solo wine tasting experience - reservation was easy to make and winery was easy to find. It's a smaller house so tastings were outside overlooking the vines (lovely) and made for a more intimate setting. Rick was friendly and knowledgeable during the tasting. I actually bought two bottles and when I came home, one broke all over the floor! I sent a picture via email and they immediately agreed to replace the bottle. Plan to visit again!
