Famed for their SLV cabernet sauvignon that beat Bordeaux at the 1976 Paris tasting, they still make some of the very best cabs in Napa. Tastings from $15. Not to be confused with Stags' Leap Winery!
Beautiful views from the rooftop terrace. There are 2 wines for tasting ( charged separately) but no flights so it's more akin to ordering wine at a bar. Nice tasting room though!
Great winery that was recommended for ppl who are looking for something more off the beaten path. Cab and Pinot Gris and staff were excellent.
The Persian palace: cheesy or fun? I think the latter, and refreshingly unique among faux French chateaus. Tastings feature generous pours, (Malbec is their best). Served with pistachios, naturally.
This is the Disneyland of Napa with crowds of tourists to match (they even do tours in Mandarin now), but the Mission-style architecture is pretty, the wine isn't bad, and it's a nice intro to Napa.
Cabernet heaven. Opt for the tour and tasting if you have the time. Our guide kept pouring us wine throughout the entire tour! Mehr erfahren.
If you've made it out to Napa, put this winery on your "to do" list. It's by appointment only, but well worth it.
Start with an inside tasting, but do not leave before you experience the table-side tasting outside with majestic views of the vineyard!!!
Go to Hall wines and taste the 2005 Hall "Kathryn Hall" Cabernet Sauvignon!! Mehr erfahren.
Amazing views and fantastic wine. The wine tasting is a great learning experience and an absolute steal at $10.
Chateau Montelena caused a sensation when their 1976 Chardonnay put California wines on the map and beat French wines to take top honors at a Paris blind tasting.
Get a VIP tour of their wine library. They have a 1/2 mile of tunnels with the library at the end.
One of the best winery tours, especially in lovely weather, their garden is a treasure chest of creative wonders and landscaping expertise.
Cab Lovers check out the Pine Ridge 2006 Andrus Reserve and the Fortis! Your in for a treat!
This is Taittinger's Napa outpost complete with faux 18th century château, but it is all quite fun. Rather than a full tasting, go for a glass of Le Rêve Blanc de Blancs - it really is a "dream."
