I can't recommend the cave tour here enough! Our guide was amazing; she grew up in Napa Valley and had such a unique perspective on the history of Napa and the winery itself. Even though she let us know she wasn't a credentialed sommelier, she might as well have been one! The grounds of this vineyard are gorgeous, and their upgraded tasting room is cozy, but still elevated. Absolutely will be back next time we are in Napa Valley! read more

Came here today for wine tasting with a party of 8 for a scheduled appointment. The winery is breathtaking, from the grounds to the wine tasting room. The interior was designed superbly with such detail from the furniture, crown molding,wainscoting, immaculate bathrooms and intimate tasting rooms. Our wine associate, Phoebe was phenomenal,she was informative, friendly, funny and answered all our questions. We were seated in an amazing wine tasting room that was set up with two charcuterie trays along with our wine glasses. We enjoyed the wines so much we became wine club members. Out of the 5 new wineries we visited this trip, Baldacci Family Vineyards was our favorite. Looking forward to our first shipment and our future visits. read more

Beautiful tasting venue by a family owned winery in Stags Leap AVA, Baldacci offers a peaceful and inviting atmosphere with a range of varietals to try. Thanks to the CA Resident Napa Neighbor Month offer in January, my husband and I were able to enjoy a 2-for-1 Estate Tasting. Upon entering, you are greeted with sparking wine, followed by a three wine flight and small bites to pair how you please. I choose all cabs for my flight to try to focus my knowledge in the varying notes from the different AVAs. The Oakville, Stags Leap, and Calistoga cabs were each unique and it was fun to pair with the different food from the plate. We were also able to try some of their older vintages to compare how one may cellar a bottle. Compared to other wineries in the valley, Baldacci was very calm worth a try if you want to avoid the bigger named places. read more

This family owned vineyard was very lovely. The inside wasn't that big but they did have wine tasting rooms for parties. I appreciate that my group was greeted with a glass of champagne. It did take 20 minutes to be seated after we checked in for our reservation, which was a little long. It was very hot outside which was the damper on the experience. The tasting was a good experience over all and i appreciated the private room. read more

We visited the tasting room on our last trip to Napa which was many year's ago prior to the new tasting room at BFV. Baldacci has always been one of my favorite wines from the Valley. As I eliminated clubs I belonged to, Baldacci was also the last to go. There wine is good.... real good. It was an easy trip here as we were staying in Sonoma and had to cross the mountains. I felt like I was home when we pulled in the front gate. Once we entered the tasting room we were greeted and given a flute of champagne. The tasting room is nothing less than gorgeous and you just feel so comfortable here. After a few minutes of strolling the area and looking at all the pictures, Quinn came in. I have been speaking with Quinn for years but never had the opportunity to meet. Finally, face to face, we were able to shake hands. He took my wife and I for a tour through the caves which was an amazing experience. Barrels and Barrels of wine aging until the perfect time. Being an avid Baldacci drinker I couldn't wait for their release. We even tried one wine right out of the barrel, nothing less then amazing. We went back to the tasting room where we sat in a beautiful environment tasting an wide variety of BFV wines, everyone a treat to your senses. Quinn is an amazingly personable individual and helped to make this an amazing experience. I am happy to say that we have rejoined the club and will always look forward to drinking and sharing this amazing wine with our friends. Do not miss coming here when you come to Napa. BFV is what Napa is all about. Great environment, great friends & family, and GREAT wine. Kudos to the team at Baldacci Family Vineyards. read more

You're welcomed with a sparkling wine before starting the tasting - Lovely hosts and lots of outdoor and indoor seating. We decided to sit outside and it wasn't crowded on a Saturday afternoon. We couldn't get a tasting reservation but they did serve by the glass which are at similar prices at other wineries with a $80-$120 price range for 4-5 wines. Their Chardonnay was not buttery and was quite pleasant. And their blend was amazing with a crisp but smooth finish. Purchased both bottles and tried a few others too. read more

We bought a tasting at an auction for Share the Care in Napa. So glad we did! Samantha was the most amazing host. She embodied the poetry that she spoke about in terms of the wine tasting by experience. I love how they greet you at the door with bubbles. It feels very welcoming, like you are a cherished family member returning from afar. After sipping our bubbles and enjoying the view of the vineyards, we embarked on the cave tour complete with barrel tasting. Then, we were seated in a private room where we got to sample more wines and some nibbles. I really loved how flexible they were. I'm allergic to dairy, so they provided an alternative for me to enjoy while the others in my group enjoyed cheeses and whatnot. My belly tends not to be a big fan of red wine, so I got to revisit the whites while the rest of my group moved on to the reds. Delicious! We had a wonderful time and look forward to going back again. read more

I was incredibly disappointed with my experience at Baldacci. TLDR: Horrible value. I went with a group, and I wasn't a part of picking which tasting experience we did. My friend who booked it said it would be a 75 minute tasking experience with a flight of wines and seasonal bites. We started with a bubbly and then were seated to some cheese and 3 glasses of wine, each a half pour. First, you are left to experience the tasting alone. Then, the guide comes to discuss the wines with you. Right when I was expecting a next round to come, we got the closing spiel about buying their wine. This was 45 minutes in... When it was time to check out, my friend shared that it would cost us $88 each. This was honestly a very disappointing experience for such a high price. I've gotten whole grounds tours and at least 6 glasses for half the price... I would not recommend this winery if you are in Napa. The two stars are for the organic, tasty wines we did get to taste. read more

We visited here during our Napa trip back in September and I'm just now getting around to leaving all of my reviews. We did the Winemaker's Collection tasting and our host was Andres. He was one of the closest in age to us out of all of the hosts we had during our trip, so he was really easy to talk to and told us some places to visit and to Uber to San Fran vs driving our rental car if we planned on going over there during our stay. The cave tour was really fun! This was the only one we opted to do during our stay and we really enjoyed it. We liked that it was a smaller, family owned winery and everything felt more intimate during our tour + tasting. The grounds had some metal statues/art around and we were told they were added by the family (if I remember correctly, the daughter-in-law?) and it gave the outside a charming, quirky touch. read more

Baldacci Family Vineyards (Baldacci) was the 15th winery on our recent tour of Napa Valley where we toured their caves, enjoying a pour of wine from the barrel in addition to the incredible wines we enjoyed in a private tasting room with posh leather couches overlooking the vineyards. Located on the famed Silverado Trail by Silverado Vineyards and Pine Ridge Vineyards, Baldacci produces some extraordinary wines that resonated deeply with my wife and me. During our tour of the caves and the tasting that followed our guide, Phoebe, ensured we had a magical experience. She has a wonderful personality and great insight into the making of the wines and how they are aged within the caves. We enjoyed some great wines during our tasting that we ordered some bottles to have shipped back home to Florida including their 2019 Black Label Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon, 2021 Fraternity Napa Valley Red Wine Blend, and the 2021 Carneros Elizabeth Pinot Noir. read more

Before coming to Baldacci, I had never had their wine. We came for a tasting with cheese pairing and cave tour. The vineyard is beautiful, our host was very informative and funny. We were set up in a private dining room, which was fantastic. We tasted amazing wines. We ended up purchasing $500 worth of wine, which resulted on both our tastings comped. We loved the wine so much, we even joined their club. I highly recommend. read more

This was my favorite place I tasted in Napa! I was greeted with champagne and a lovely snack platter on some beautiful chairs facing the valley. It was idyllic-everything you'd hope for and more at a Napa Winery! Phoebe assisted my friend and I and was so wonderful. She told us some amazing stories about how the wine was made, answered our questions, and had us compare some vintages to see what differences we'd notice! We had so much fun with her-she was so lovely, kind, and made us feel like VIPs! The tasting itself was so interesting- a complex Chardonnay followed by Pinot noir then a comparison of vintages of well cellared cabs. My favorite wine to drink of all the places I visited, and the vibe was immaculate! We stared the day here and I'm glad we did so that we could be more attentive to the exciting flavor profiles of the wines. Can't wait to go back! read more

We had a fantastic tasting today with Phoebe. We had a tour and a tasting with a little cheese plate and it was perfect. Our party of 8 all loved the wine and each couple bought some to enjoy at home. The tasting room is lovely and the ambiance at the winery is so relaxing.

From the moment we walked in, the experience at Baldacci Family Vineyards was top notch and customer-focused. We were greeted by very friendly, welcoming team members and enjoyed the lovely grounds prior to our tasting. Phoebe McLeod was a wonderful wealth of knowledge the entire time, demonstrated by the information she shared about the vineyard, the wines, and the winery's sustainable efforts. Phoebe created an amazing wine and chocolate tasting experience for us that was so memorable and enjoyable especially for our friend celebrating her birthday. Had to take home all the wines from our tasting plus other bottles. After taking in the scenery, the team was gracious and willing to take a photo of our group. If you are in Napa, Baldacci Family Vineyards is a special place you will not want to miss. read more

Loved Samantha! Breathe of fresh air, loved her passion and conversations. When we learned it was only her fourth day we were surprised bc of her knowledge of the family, the vines, the soil, etc. Although the wine did not match our palette we enjoyed the service they provided and the relaxing view. read more

Went to 5 different wineries on this trip to Napa. We both loved every wine we tasted at Baldacci, where the other wineries we liked 1 or 2 of the wines. To top off the tasting was the service. Phoebe was the perfect hostess and I cannot say enough about her knowledge and guidance. I did decide to join the wine club and received my first shipment in perfect shape. Thanks Phoebe, hope to see you again on a future visit. read more

Awesome place. Been members for a few years now. Wine is great, and the environment is very inviting. I don't claim to be a wine expert, but I like to wine taste. This place is humble enough to have a goofy conversation about wine, which is half the battle. Try it out before some of the mainstream wineries, you will probably enjoy your time here more. read more

already a year ago, however i joined the wine club and am constantly a customer! We stumbled on Baldacci vineyards by pure luck! For some reason it wasn't showing up on web searches for wineries nearby. We were on our way home after a day of wine tasting and places were closing. we were passing by and decided to try it out. The place was empty but a nice guy who was studying for his masters in wine put together a fantastic tasting and experience for us. It was by far the best wine we had out in Napa the week we spent there. It was so good that we joined one of their clubs and save the bottles ordered for holidays or special occasions. the customer service is superior and everyone there is so kind. Id plan a vacation back to Napa from Boston just to be able to cash in on one of the tastings included in the membership. Baldacci isn't readily available by us, so we cashed in and joined the club. Worth every penny!! Hope to be back soon. read more

What a beautiful tasting room and unique experience! Paired with chocolate, and a wonderful guide & wine educator- Phoebe McLeod, this was an experience to remember! This Napa trip was a celebration of retirement for my in-laws and this unexpected winery did NOT disappoint. With all of our questions promptly answered by Phoebe, we had an amazing time learning about the family behind the wine, the construction of the property, and all the fantastic attributes of their wine. The chocolate pairing really brought out flavors that I don't think any of us would have picked out with this unique pairing. They are creating an experience not found much in Napa - ditch the cheese and go for the chocolate!! Thank you for an amazing time and beautiful property! read more

Purchased a glass of wine here, was disappointed by the size of the pour (not even to the inflection point!- more like a large tasting). Didn't feel the price of the 2021 cab was worth the price per bottle. Very dry, boring cab. read more

Our favorite spot we visited on our trip to Napa this go around. The property is tucked back off Silverado and the views are just lovely.

Andres was exceptional. Knowledgeable, personable, fun! Overall wonderful. read more

As I reflect on my time at Baldacci I can only smile. It was a trip to Napa to remember. The Baldacci vineyard is a beautiful property that produces great wines. The team at Baldacci is as friendly and welcoming as can be. I was welcomed with open arms to Baldacci and felt like family. The Baldacci tasting room had a nice ambiance and provided for either inside or outside seating. When we entered we were handed a glass of Pops estate grown sparkling wine (by John a super nice guy with a great personality) , and may I say it was fabulous! The Pops sparkling wine was a must for my palate and I just had to buy a few bottles. My group of 8 tasting was lead by Quinn, a very happy, fun and friendly individual who made my groups time at the property feel welcomed, entertained and a just overall great experience. The cave tour was a very enjoyable experience, when you entered the cave it felt like a James Bond movie entering a secret door and finding a exclusive winemaking experience just behind those doors. A place to visit to heighten your senses. We got a chance to experience Baldacci and we left a member of the club and cannot wait to get our lips on our next glass of Baldacci Cabernet. Thank you Baldacci and team for the wonderful experience and a special thank you to Kellie for coordinating our event and for such great service. You are a gem. The final special thank you is to the Baldacci family for supporting your local community and putting in all the hard work with your family vineyard. We appreciate the work you do and the passion for your industry. Thank you for producing wine for people to enjoy! I wish Baldacci the best of luck and look forward to future visits. read more

Wonderful vineyard where you're immediately greeted by their mascot dog Beau! I was recommended by a coworker & it was all I expected + more! We took home bottles of their Syrah as well as their Cabernet Sauvignon but you honestly can't go wrong with any of their selection. The southern hospitality that Mike & Quinn demonstrated to our group & pups goes a long way...would absolutely recommend to anyone & we'll definitely be back! Make sure you check-in as well to claim your complimentary party favor. Stay Classy, Baldacci Family Vineyards... read more

Thanks to a rec from Reynold's, we followed the Silverado Trail over to Baldacci where we received a tasting discount because of the referral. So I've never heard of this wine, but I was impressed with the history, the family story, the wines and even the prices that I ended up purchasing four bottles. We did the tasting inside, but there is a lovely patio where you can enjoy your bottle(s). I like that our pourer shared some of the best wines with us that weren't on the tasting menu ... always enjoy a little creme de la creme tasting. Our Yelp mobile check-in got us a free gourmet chocolate bar. I chose the salted chocolate, and it was like fancy crack. I made the beau HIDE it from me for the rest of the trip so I wouldn't devour it. Little by little, I was fed some hear, fed some there so I could enjoy it in moderation with my wine. read more

As a decades long patron and visitor to Napa Valley, Sonoma and Santa Cruz Mountain wineries, I've come to value the unique relationships, experiences, and memories one can build when visiting the many superb wineries here. Napa has always had a hallmark core to its DNA of warm Hospitality, generosity, and professionalism in how clients are treated. When the wine, the experience, and spirit are scintillating, its often a lasting decades long relationship results, that is rewarding in all ways to both the winery and the patron. I'm sorry to say, despite what are some interesting and enjoyable wines, Baldacci's high price, and refusal to wave the tasting fee for us after we were told it would be for purchase of 6 or more bottles , left me feeling this winery behaves substandard to the world class and seamless experiences and hospitality I am So accustomed to. For such a high price it would also be expected a winemaking tour, cave tour and vineyard tour would be include, but no such experience was offered. Regrettably, I find myself left recommending to readers with many supreme choices in the area, to Seek others, and not Baldacci, for a fuller and more hospitable, memorable experience., read more

Disappointing visit. Booked and paid for reservations, but later decided to skip the tasting since they were not willing to add 2 additional tastings for friends celebrating their birthday. Host was not accommodating at all, this would be understandable if the place was full, but there was only 1 other group. Plenty of other friendly wine vineyards in this area, had a great time at a few nearby Foley properties. read more

I liked this place but I didn't love this place. First off, this is a super friendly tasting room. I felt welcomed like a member of the family from the minute I parked the car. Niceness is getting harder and harder to come by in the Napa Valley and I like when a winery gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling as soon as I arrive. Nice folks and a friendly dog, what more could you ask for? The tasting room has a small indoor space and a quaint outdoor patio. It was windy the day we visited so we opted to taste inside. Appointments are required so make sure to call ahead. They could accommodate us the same day but it's best to plan ahead as your mileage may vary. The wine tasting was a nice experience but jeez it was so expensive. Know before you go that their Classic Tasting is $20 per person and their Reserve Tasting is $40 per person. You'll want to taste the reserve wines but wow, that is a lot to pay to taste. I know charging for tastings is the new trend that's here to stay, but call me crazy: I thought the point of wine tasting is so that wineries can get their brand out there and convert casual tasters into one of their loyal legions of wine drinkers. I don't mind paying a modest tasting fee, but $20 - $40 PER PERSON? Come on! I'm not trying to pick on Baldacci here, it's a problem plaguing most wineries nowadays. (And yeah, even if I don't buy a bottle during my visit, I always leave a tip for the pourer and I make a note to either come back to buy a bottle before I leave to fly home or I buy / order once I return home). To be fair, Baldacci does refund your tasting fee with a purchase, but the purchase requirements were really high ($20 fee refunded with $80 purchase / $40 refunded with $200 purchase). Sorry guys, but "thanks for nothing!" While I very much enjoyed the wines we tasted, I thought they were simply overpriced for what they were. It's not that the wine wasn't delicious because it was -- but it was $60 worth of delicious, not $125. I understand a small family vineyard and high quality winemaking processes but it you are going to charge over $100 for a bottle of wine, it had better be awesome. As a final note, I think the comments and poor reviews from inconsiderate people who brought their rambunctious kids along with them to a winery are simultaneously hilarious and sad. Kids NEVER belong at a winery, period. Sorry to say it but it's the truth. If you are so selfish that you can't leave your rugrats at home when you are going to participate in an adult activity (wine tasting), then you are a very rude person. People are thinking that about you, I'm just the only one with the nerve to say it. read more

The Baldacci Vineyard was one of my favorite stops on our winery tour of Napa. We arrived just as they were finishing up bottling in a couple very large trailers located on the driveway. While the sound of their generators filled the air, we ran by them into the cool air conditioned tasting room. Our host Mike, introduced us to the vineyard, the family, and their offering of wines. We started the tasting inside but eventually moved to the outside patio after the bottling trucks left. We had the outdoor patio to ourselves and enjoyed the last few of our tastings before Mike asked us if we'd like to tour the cave. Of course we said. He walked us through the lower part of the vineyard up to the entrance of the cave. I wasn't quite sure what to expect inside the cave but as he told us it would be very cool inside. And it sure was. He walked us through the cave and we stopped a few times to admire the brand new barrels and take a sniff inside a couple. We learned a lot on this tour and also that the wait for a new cave to be built in Napa is several years. After touring the cave, Mike brought us back into the tasting room where we purchased a bottle of the IV Sons Cabernet Sauvignon for our dinner later in the evening. I just love that wine! I would definitely stop by here again during my next visit to Napa! read more

A great family owned winery! The tasting room is small and not at all intimidating like some other Napa wineries. We had great service while we were here. I wish I could remember our pourers name but he was young and very knowledgeable about the history of the family, the winery and the product. He even knew a lot about Bourbon and other spirits. We could've talked all day! As for the wine it was very well done. I bought a bottle of their 07' Diamond Mountain Cab and a bottle of their 09' Black Label Cab. Both very full and delicious wines. Stag's Leap is one of my favorite wine producing regions in Napa and these guys don't disappoint. They hired a great winemaker when they opened up shop here and I'm sure they'll grow and become very successful. read more

What is special about Baldacci's is that you can take a cave tour because many wineries don't provide tours for them. I took my own personal cave tour because they weren't available to show me around (shh!) - they didn't lock the doors! The winery was pretty and the service was extremely friendly. They have some outdoor seating with umbrellas, so this is another nice place to picnic at. Nothing stood out too much for me here, but I do remember running into one of the Baldacci family members in the tasting room. They really do have bright red hair! read more
