    Bougetz was our third tasting room stop on the Napa Valley Wine Trolley tour (and fourth/last stop overall), and honestly I would've skipped it if I had just seen pictures. It's a small tasting room, but don't let that deter you -- what it lacks in ambience and vines, it makes up in delicious wine and an amazing tasting host, Tim. Tim walked us through "real" wine tasting (e.g., not being pretentious, sharing that everybody's favorite is different for a reason, "legs" are fake, testing the sweetness between the Cab Sauv valley and mountains, etc.) and made it fun. Even some people who wanted to skip the tasting were given a tasting glass to try one kind because Tim wanted them to experience it with the rest of us. Loved the Chardonnay and the Meritage, plus had such a blast laughing during this tasting. Strongly recommend!

    Awesome food and wine My friend David and I visited here today as part of our full day wine package that we purchased. The venue is beautiful! Lots of great places to sit outside and indoors to enjoy the high quality wine. We tasted 7 different wines and they were all outstanding! We enjoyed 5 reds and 2 whites and the quality was excellent for all of them. Tim was the wine expert that coached us through the experience. He was entertaining and informative about the wine. I splurged on purchasing a variety of high end wines from this winery for my own enjoyment plus gifts for my family. I highly recommend this tasting experience and the great quality wine!!

    Our hostess Carol Ann is the best!!! I finally made it to Bougetz Cellars Not in a vineyard...it's a tasting room. we were seated on the porch and it was a perfect day for this The wine was amazing!!! love every wine we tried and i took 4 bottles home. this seems to be a spot that locals know ...hasn't hit the tourist press (yet). definitely must try! PS...so you don't sound dumb like it did...pronounced "BOO GETS" NOT "BOUGIE ETZ" (yup that's what I had been saying)

    Tim was awesome. My wife and I had no idea what we were doing or what to expect. He made it a great experience. Highly recommend. Wines were excellent!

    We discovered Bougetz because it was on the list of wineries that accepted our priority wine pass. It ended up being a cute, small tasting room next to a few others on the road that Silverado Resort sits on. We reserved with our priority wine pass which got us two tastings for $30 (instead of per person). We were also super happy to find out when we were there that buying two bottles waived the tasting fee. Luckily for us there were two standout wines that we wanted to buy! The tasting included four wines, plus a bonus pour when we sat down, plus two bonus pours at the end. Damn no wonder we were more tipsy after this one. They had outdoor and indoor space, and had set our reservation up inside. I was a little hesitant to do that since we've been on the safer side during the pandemic, but we were the only ones there and outside we would have been next to a large group so we went with it. I will say that both people working there that we interacted with were incredibly nice, funny, and down to earth. I was a little uncomfortable that the guy that initially seated us took off his mask once he found out we were vaccinated (just to give more reference I'm one of those people who hasn't left the house in over a year because of a health condition). Luckily Carol Ann served us and she was super respectful about it, she kept her mask on and even talked to us from 6 feet away when not pouring and giving the story behind each wine which I appreciated. We tried: 2018 Sauvignon Blanc - Another more acidic one so I wasn't a big fan. 2/5 2018 Belle Reve, Viognier ($38) - Our first time trying this type of wine and it was intriguingly good. Similar to a chardonnay but just a different taste, with a slight sweetness. 4/5 2017 The Cairn, Pinot Noir ($42) - Apparently they pronounce it "the karen" which is hilarious. It was good, but not great. Missing that intense smokey flavor for me. 3/5 2017 Jovana, Merlot/Cabernet Franc ($52) - This one had a very funny story behind the name as well. Again I thought it was okay but not great. I like the more fruity merlots. 3/5 2017 Jetrois, Cabernet Sauvignon ($79) - I can't remember what I thought of this one just that I liked the next cab better. 2017 Amaryllis, Cabernet Sauvignon ($62) - This was fantastic, not too bold but still tons of flavor. 5/5 2017 Prominence, Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ($99) - One of those pure cabs that is super super strong. Too much for me. 3/5 The tasting experience here was definitely the most down to earth we experienced in Napa, so if that's your jam I'd recommend it. We got to learn all about the wines, the stories behind the names, and even how to correctly spin your wine glass and where to smell to get the most accurate smell of the wine. Fun times!

    Amazing wine and such a great experience. Tim was awesome, and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this place! We left with 4 bottles of wine - 2 Chardonnay and 2 Merlot.

    Bring a picnic and enjoy the sunset!

    The winemaker, Tom loves to make rich Cabs from only the best NV vineyards. Plus a Pinot from the Russian River, and a Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast. You'll learn all kinds of tidbits and fun facts from the tasting room team! They're knowledgeable with a true passion for the product. And you'll probably meet Tom too!

    Carol Ann was great and we absolutely loved visiting Bougetz! It was our favorite tasting to date and loved hearing the history behind the wines. We became wine club members because of how impressed we were with the wines and highly recommend to anyone in the Napa area!

    This is a must visit winery when you're in NAPA. You need to have a tasting with David who goes through all the cool sophisticated tips of wine tasting. The wine is so delicious. Please taste the Viognier White wine it's so good!!!! I highly recommend!

    We first visited Orin Swift a couple of years ago and had such a great experience that it became…read moreone of the highlights of our trip. Unfortunately, it was one of our last stops, so we couldn't take any bottles home with us. This time, we made sure Orin Swift was our very first stop, and it did not disappoint. The wines are fantastic, but what really makes the experience special is the hospitality. Marcel was an incredible host: knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the wines. He made the tasting both educational and fun, and he was so easy to talk to that the experience felt more like spending time with a friend than a typical wine tasting. The tasting room itself is beautiful and filled with the unique artwork and personality that Orin Swift is known for. If you're planning a visit, I highly recommend requesting Marcel. He made an already great experience even better. We're so glad we made Orin Swift our first stop this trip. Not only did we get to enjoy another amazing tasting, but this time we finally got to bring a few bottles home with us too.

    We first visited Orin Swift as friends of a member 10 years ago and after a recently visit, it…read morereminded us why we love orin swift, and we became members shortly after. The wines taste amazing and have the winemaker's signature bold complex style, especially in their red blends. Pours are very generous during tastings and the annual parties, both milk run and equinox, are tons of fun with plenty of food, wine, whisky, and music...events we look forward to every year. The tasting room in St Helena is one of the coolest around...everywhere you turn there's a unique piece of art and a different part of the journey of orin swift. You can definitely feel the love there.

    Do not discount this place because it's  a winery. If your in the Napa area the delicateasan here…read moreis worth the trip on its own. And if you like wine and picknicks under the trees it's a total win, win win. We have been here multiple times over the years. This was our first time actually doing a tasting. Andrea stuck with the rose's and white's and I stayed with the red's. Our host was Lucas and he did a fantastic job handling us and multiple patrons at the same time. I could never do this job even though I love wine and can be mediocrely knowledgeable about it to most tourist, but I don't like people and am not into idle chit chat to entertain the peeps. The wine they make you can only buy at the winery and most of it is good and a few bottles are really good. For the tasting you pick 5 from a much larger list and with all tastings at pretty much all wineries we have been to there are always extra splashes of a few other wines as well, typically with the verbage along the lines of, "This one was opened by accident so may as well pour it" or "The new guy thought it was on the list today", or "We just found these in the back and thought it would be a treat". Funny how the extra pours always seem to be on sale by the bottle, Today Only!!! Need to get that FOMO in. Speaking of by the bottle. After the tasting we grabbed a bottle of champs and headed over to the deli for a baguette, cheese and some grapes and onward to the grass. I was eyeballing some tasty looking prosciutto, salami and other assorted meat goodies but opted out since I would be the only one devouring them. Pro tip....if going to buy a bottle for an onsite bring your own wine glasses to avoid the small plastice tumblers. We usually carry double walled stemless aluminum champs and wine glasses with us if not for picknicking for use in hotel rooms and by the hot tub. The picknick grounds are nice with plenty of tables or throw a blanket on the ground. A very nice experience overall!!! Also, "Certified DoggieBear Paw Print of Approval"

    I am so behind! We visited this great winery on Tuesday, July 14th this year. When we were looking…read morefor a winery that doesn't require reservations this one popped up and it had great reviews. There were five of us in our group and none of us had been wine tasting, ever and 3 of us are over 60. The grounds are beautiful and very clean! While we were paying for our package, we were informed that we would be given some extras like more red wines to taste that didn't count toward our 5 wines along with some handmade chocolates. While it was a little warm out, we decided that we wanted to sit outside as we knew our group could get loud. Thankfully, the patio area was lined with misters We were also thankful that Tuesdays aren't a super busy day! Adam was our sommelier, I had to look this up. Adam chatted with us a little to find out what each of us was looking forward to in our wines. I won't bore you with which wines we tried as they are all very good. While the usual time for group like ours should have taken about 60 minutes, we were there closer to 2 hours. Adam helped us with so many delicious wines, taking time to explain what this wine would pair well with, etc. Something that I discovered that I actually do like a good red wine. I guess the red wines that I tried years prior were not so good. We all ended up purchasing several bottles of the wines that we had tried. When we were leaving, there was a gift store with more of the delicious handmade chocolates that we had tried on the patio. There was only the two piece size available but Adam was able to speak with a manager getting as a great deal as the 5 piece box was available. He worked it out so I was able to purchase 3 boxes of the 2 pieces boxes for the same price as the 5 piece box. I had planned on giving these as gifts so it worked wonderfully for me. If you are looking for a great place to go wine tasting, I highly encourage you to try this winery! Great service and goes out of their way to make your day!
