Came here with a friend who got us a tasting through her cousin. Firstly, the staff were so NICE and friendly, we could've chatted for hours with them! The view was also stunning and easily the highlight of the trip. The wine was wonderful to me, but I can't pretend to know tons about wine. That being said, the staff were very knowledgeable and also great at helping me find things I would like even with my rudimentary wine-flavor vocabulary. Would highly recommend Bouchaine to anyone headed to Napa soon!

My friends have long been obsessed with Bouchaine Vineyards, and I was so excited to visit! They were able to book us a free tasting though their membership, and we opted for the Garden Tasting because it's dog-friendly. We were greeted with a fantastic glass of rosé (crisp and dry), and several welcoming staff members. The garden was beautifully landscaped, with plenty of seating in the sun and shade. We also had a view of the terrace and the beautiful building behind it. Our host Karen was super sweet and informative, and I lost track of how many wines we got to try (she brought out several that were not on the Garden Tasting list). I loved that she tailored the wine selection to our tastes! It doesn't happen often, but I loved every single wine we tried. I ended up buying a bottle of the Pinot Blanc, but was tempted by many of the others. I also loved that Karen brought us a water bowl and tennis ball for my dog. Would happily return for the wines and the ambiance!

Amazing views, fantastic service and delicious wines! We had a wonderful time here just relaxing in the patio.

We had friends in town and added Bouchaine as a stop to our day in wine country. We were so happy we did! The property is very beautiful with both a cute garden or a really nice terrace. We were seated in the Garden as it is also dog friendly and had plenty of shade, chairs etc. The wines themselves were also very good. The standout was the PInot Blanc but what was more impressive was Gigi, our host. She had the right balance of knowledge, engagement but also letting us enjoy the wine. She was funny, and also had some great recommendations for our next trips up to Sonoma and Napa. We joined and are excited to be members of Bouchaine and cannot wait for our first shipment!

Our wine tasting included a choice of five different wines to taste. Our wine server was great, she was very pleasant, although we didn't get the detailed and educational spiel about this particular winery, which stood out since we had visited others earlier that day, and they took the time to share a little bit about their winery's history. The other thing that was odd for us was that we only got one wine glass, and we had to finish all of the wine before they poured the next tasting. Other vineyards gave us multiple glasses so I don't know if they ran out of glasses, but it felt weird that we kinda rushed to drink the wine so that we could try the next one. Felt less like a wine tasting and more like I was just at a bar.

Second stop on our wine outing brought our party to the beautiful grounds of Bouchaine. We did the Terrace Tasting which is normally $75 per person, but paid $50 each with the Priority Wine Pass. We highly enjoyed the views from the outside patio and saw a few different kinds of birds. We were not impressed by the service as it was difficult to make reservations over the phone which should have clued us in on what to expect. When we got there, we overheard a female employee say she was not scheduled to handle a larger group referring to our party of 5. We were given to another sommelier who was also abrasive. Service was lacking and wine was just mediocre. I really wanted to love this place, but found my experience here lackluster.

Stunning views and amazing staff! We did the 4 wine tasting on a weekday and had a wonderful time chatting with Karen, who meticulously explained the origin of every wine we tried. We had originally booked for the garden but were automatically upgraded to the terrace since the garden was closed. Loveddd how private it felt, and even though the space was a bit smaller than I had imagined from pictures, the view was still breathtaking! We ended up going home with a bottle of the Las Brisas Pinot Blanc-- super tasty. A great way to spend an afternoon and not at all far from Napa proper!

Wow! A must see in Napa! Not only are their wines wonderful their service and ambiance make for a magnificent experience! This was the terrace tasting and I think it's worth every penny! When booking a winery like this I don't think you can go wrong in any of the tastings!

We went to this winery on a Monday, because it was on our way out of town and reservations were not necessary. A windy road to get there, which actually wasn't too far away. We went into the smaller tasting room because the fee seemed less, but they were closed and we were directed up the hill. We hadn't even noticed the beautiful architecture of the main winery! We went into and discovered the tasting was fairly price, but we could taste different wines from each other so we decided to go for it. We were seated outside, on comfy couches with a beautiful view. Our server was fantastic...fun and very informative. It turned out that the wines were absolutely delicious!! So we decided to join their wine club, which we discovered is the only way to purchase their wines. Plus, by joining, our tasting fee was waived. Win win! We also learned that you can gift a tasting to several friends/family in the course of a year which is fantastic because we have good friends who live in the area and had never tried their wines. I wished we lived closer (we are in Pasadena) because they have tastings with a birds of prey show. Will definitely check that out next time. This was a wonderful find, and we are looking forward to our next visit.

Bouchaine was one of our favorite Napa area winery experiences from the architecture to the wine itself. The great thing about Bouchaine is that it is one of (if not THE) closest wineries to downtown San Fran, so it's perfect for a day trip. We used the Priority Wine Pass to get a discount on our tasting which was advertised as choosing 5 wines to taste. However, upon arrival they immediately poured us their cheapest Rose (..we are not Rose All Day people..) and counted it as one of our 5 tastings! So be aware that, according to the booking, YOU get to choose your 5 wines to taste! Additionally, be upfront with your guide about what kind of experience you'd like or expect. What I mean by that is our guide was very chatty about their personal life - when we were there to learn about the wine and spend some quality family time together with our group. But instead - learned a LOT about our guide and his life. Which I found very odd. Maybe that's because I'm from the East Coast, but so was he. Would still go again though because the wine is that delicious and property is that beautiful! Don't forget to get the Pinot noir chocolate covered cherries on your way out!

The views are beautiful here! We enjoyed all the wines we tasted and Mark was awesome! We will be back for sure!

Happy hubby

A gem, not to be missed. A feeling of traveling to Europe in your own Napa back yard. The scenery was exquisite, service fabulous, wines stand out exceptionally, and a beautiful place to hang. Try the wine tasting on the terrace, you'll thank me afterwards or even during. Stephanie The Stephanie Herman Show

I took the online WSET Level 1 Award in Wines class with Napa Valley Wine Academy earlier this year…read moreand really enjoyed it. My instructor was awesome and the online learning platform was surprisingly user friendly. I learned a ton (maybe too much -- now my friends don't want to drink wine with me because I can't help but start dropping wine facts)! The class consisted of several self-paced modules (written content, a few self-check quizzes, videos, etc.), and three Zoom class sessions with group tastings that were recorded in the event you could not attend. I took the WSET Level 1 exam immediately after the course ended and it felt like a piece of cake (passed with no issues!) after making my way through all of Napa Valley Wine Academy's content. If you're looking to get a great foundation in wines and preparation for the exam, I definitely recommend Napa Valley Wine Academy's courses, but if you are looking for something more interactive to build community, I would not recommend the online courses -- nobody in my class used the discussion feature and I did not connect with a single classmate. I really enjoyed Level 1 and would have already signed up for Level 2 if it weren't so expensive....hopefully one of these days!

I've taken 3 courses with Napa Wine Valley Academy; two virtual and one in person. Each course was…read morewell attended, the instructors were fantastic and knowledgeable, and the course work was easy to follow. Would definitely recommend to others.

Tours and tastings are by appointment only. Call them at 707-226-8320 or email at…read moreinfo@hendrywines.com to schedule a tour. 21 years of age and over only. Not kid friendly. But dog friendly. Quality/Quantity - I had a hard time with the website making my appointment, it's a user issue as I am just not tech savvy. So I called and someone actually answered the phone and made my appointment for me, THANK you! We arrived 15 mins early, so we hung out in the lobby reading all the history, etc. Then Skip took us to the best view overlooking the vineyard for our tasting; see pictures! We sampled almost ALL the reds! All of which were good. See pictures. I like the fact that we did side by side tastings of many of his wines. My favorites were the 2022 Primitivo and 2021 Malbec, which we bought a few bottles of. Ambiance - Secluded private winery. Close to main Downtown Napa, but far enough away for privacy and a feeling of being far away. Appointment only, so very private and customer focused. Typically no more than 3 parties at a time. Today was considered a very busy day as there were 4 parties including us, lol. Gated private estate. 200 acres. Plenty of parking, especially since hosting only 3 guests at a time. Events - See their website. Well behaved dogs are allowed outdoors. Service - Skip is a history buff and we both talked for hours... After leaving, well really the next day (LOL), I realized that our tasting was supposed to be only 60 minutes. I guess because we got along so well, we stayed until closing! And he gave me a glass with a generous splash and let us walk the property alone after they left! So welcoming and trusting. Price - Depends on which tasting and what you buy; see their website for prices. Tastings range from $50 to $100 per person. One free designated driver allowed. Tasting fees waived with wine equivalent purchases. Hike tours $75 per person ($60 for club members). See their website for more information. Owner Comment - Congrats on your family's success since 1939 and congrats to this winery's success since 1992.
