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.
For my birthday, I arranged a private tasting with the amazing Toni. This was one the best experiences I’ve ever had. She taught us so much and the wines were delicious!!! We also had the opportunity to stomp grapes which gave me the I Love Lucy experience I’ve always dreamed of! I can’t wait to visit the estate in the near future. Thank you again to Toni for making my day so special!!! This truly was a once and lifetime experience!

Jack and Dolores Cakebread bought a 22-acre parcel in Rutherford in 1972 and the rest is classic Napa history! Cakebread was on our short list of must visit wineries, and we were not disappointed. First, the property is gorgeous, with a casual yet sophisticated ambience (I love the woods used for the buildings). Construction on a new Visitor Center was completed in 2019, and subsequently won Robb Report’s 2020 Best of the Best wine tasting experience. Matt, our knowledgeable and friendly wine host, led us through a tasting of both reds and whites. It was a beautiful experience sipping these elegant wines, seated outdoors on a lovely, spacious patio with views of the vineyards. My husband and I rarely agree on which wine we like the most (honestly, I loved them all, especially the Cakebread Chardonnay Reserve). This time we were both blown away by the 2017 Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet (Howell Mountain). Being at the winery is a great opportunity to sample (and purchase) a wine that you likely will not find back home.

This winery is so popular we had to wait 25 minutes as we did not have a reservation. It has a French influence due to the founder. The staffs were so friendly especially our server Penn he explained in detail about the wines and his recommendations. He also got to know each of us which was pleasant. We tried the Santana sparkling wine ( not in the menu ) instead of going for the wine tasting menu which was 3 glasses or you can also choose the 4 glasses. They provide crackers as well which is a good nibble with the sparkling wine we had. They also serve a plate of cheese if you would like to purchase. I like the view of the vineyard and the big barn. It is a pet friendly place and you can sit indoor or outdoor. The souvenir shop is cute too. Overall it is worth a visit.

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.
This trip to Napa I revisited favorites from past visits and Inglenook was at the top of that short list. Just a brief Bistro visit (if you get the chance to do one of the tastings or tour the property to learn its interesting history...I highly recommend both experiences) that included pours of Rubicon and Cab. A terrific weather day to just sip outside and I'll see you again in a couple of weeks. PS: Not exactly sure why the POS doesn't allow one to incude a "tip" as I was low on cash.

When Tony and Herta "H.B." Peju relocated to Rutherford from Los Angeles 32 years ago, they brought with them a vision of building a winery, an unwavering work ethic, and two young daughters who soaked in the couple's entrepreneurial spirit and love for Napa's beautiful farmland. They established Peju Province Winery and dedicated themselves to welcoming guests and to crafting exceptional wines from their organically farmed estate vineyard. Still family owned and operated today, Peju Province Winery has transformed over the past 32 years from a simple grape growing venture into a landmark winery celebrated for elegant, complex, and balanced wines in the classic Bordeaux varieties.
Beautiful sitting outside in the shade, socially distanced, with great wine and a friendly helpful server...what more could anyone want?! Our experience was terrific. We don't often join wine clubs, but we thought this was worth it! We were shown the room with the magnificent stained glass, with wine bottle series to match. The sculptures on the grounds were also interesting. This a family owned winery that takes pride in everything they do. We would certainly add Peju to the visitation list as their wines are very good, and not widely distributed.

Round Pond Estate, owned and operated today by the second generation of the MacDonnell family, is a highly sought-after and respected ultra-premium Cabernet Sauvignon producer, specializing in the creation of pure, expressive wines, artisan foods and unforgettable experiences—all from the heart of Napa Valley.
We enjoyed all of their wines with a great view served by a knowledgeable and friendly host, Samantha. A wonderful family story behind the vineyard and winery with a beautiful location to go along with it.

We came to you during an amazing tour of Northern California in Sept 2019 and brought back to England a bottle of your late harvest Sauvignon. I’d just like you to know that four of us had this for lunch today with some very English apple and blackberry crumble and it was just fabulous, I just wish we could have brought back more than one bottle. Thank you for making such incredible wine, I’m just interested in how many bottles you make in a good year?
