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!

Promontory Wines is the product of William Harlan, Founder of the one of the first cult wines in Napa Valley, Harlan Estates, followed by Bond Winery - both of which are not open to the public. But Promontory is open to the public with a reservation and a tasting fee of $200 a person. And if you truly love Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, then this is truly the place to visit. It is located on Oakville Grade Road, just up the hill from Far Niente Winery. The tour starts with meeting your guide inside the large metal sliding gate. Our guide was Christy, she was great - friendly and knowledgeable - not at all pretentious, which was a relief. We toured the beautiful facilities and learned about their extreme dedication to quality. Quick factoid: Promontory does not hire temporary worker to pick their grapes - no, the workers are permanent workers who take care of their own specific row(s) of vines. The most inexpensive bottle of Promontory is their latest release, 2016, with runs $800. Purchase it there, and one of the tasting fees is deducted. Great experience.

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! !

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!

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.

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
