We first stopped at Steele Vineyards into the Manor tour and tasting Andy's vibe, what he brought to the table we were able to try a different wine that he recommended and it made our experience a 10 out of 10. My mom had the car crackers for a tasting a pallet cleanser, and I have the Boulder Rich potato chips for my tasting/palette cleanser. Andy's service was above and beyond. He definitely should get a raise. He is very relaxed and very kind for his ambience. 10/10

I think there was a winery and something more. May be a full day exploration place, if need be. Brick cooked chicken was flavorful. Smoked chicken wings was good. I also had a side of fries.

Wow. What an unforgettable experience at PEJU, especially with the VIP treatment my friends and I…read morereceived from Todd Elliott, AKA to me as wine educator and sommelier extraordinaire! I am a white wine connoisseur because of my dietary restrictions with most ingredients in red wines, especially cherries and plum, that trigger my stomach pain and headaches. I have missed enjoying red wine because of this. I was hoping and praying that when my friends who are members of PEJU planned this wine tasting treat, that my stomach and head would be fine and to my surprise, my palate, tongue, stomach and heart were pleased with the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Fifty/Fifty, and more, including reserve reds Todd served and educated us about! I have NEVER enjoyed red wines like these I tasted at PEJU. Since the time of our outstanding wine tasting experience, I have recommended and raved about Todd and PEJU winery to friends and family who appreciate and value high quality wines and winery experiences. It felt like a vacation getaway being in the tasting room building, admiring the breathtaking stained glass art, all of the art inside and the beautiful art and nature views outside. I appreciate the PEJU staff and management team who welcomed us and were kind to us all the way to the end of our wine tasting experience when we left. This is the kind of treatment that makes us want to return. Napa is a special place for friends, family, and me, and PEJU is now an indelible memory in my Napa adventures! Todd clearly enjoys his important professional position, is passionate about wine and the wine experience, and brings so much joy to customers! I can't recommend him and PEJU enough! Todd went above and beyond to give us a VIP experience and even gave me a bag full of wine corks for my art project after I told him about this and asked for some of their wine corks we saw lined up in their wine uncorking and pouring area. Thank you, Todd!

Such a fun and relaxed experience from start to finish. We'll definitely be back and hopefully with a little more room in the wine fridge!

We were very impressed with their location that comprised a two story (maybe three) building that you had to access via steep flight of stairs to a lovely deck that you inside to the gorgeous tasting room. The spectacular view overlooking the vast number of vineyards across the Silverado Trail only enhanced the experience of being there, taking in the gorgeous weather that comprised blue skies and warm vibes. Inside there were some lovely booth lounge and table seating. I appreciated the groovy guitars encased and hung against one of the walls. To access the main cave where we would have our tasting, we walked through the back area where we passed by the windowed area that the massive fermentation tanks were located. Entering the cave was magical with purple dimmed lighting and candles lit on the large wooden table and on the other boudoir. Our guide did a tremendous job explaining the wines and the stories behind them. We enjoyed a pour straight from the barrel while walking through the various caves housing the barrels aging the wine. The experience was wonderful and wools go back in a heartbeat after having pours of the Oracle, Oakville Cab, and Stagecoach Merlot amongst the treasures that we enjoyed such as the 2013 Stagecoach Cab. Miner is one of true standouts, especially if you want to enjoy your tasting in a wine cave where they store all the barrels.

The interior has that calming and quiet peaceful existence. It's nice and cool inside with nice seating areas. There's a small open area that shows the history and pictures of the family as this beautiful winery is all family-owned. There is a large area where you can see all the wine barrels which is so cool. There is a gift shop to buy any wine they offer. There is a nice bar area to relax n enjoy some fine wine. The exterior grounds are ideal for relaxing with some wine and learning about this Caymus Winery. It was the perfect day w ideal weather with cool music playing in the background. There are comfortable seating areas with shade and even some couches for your comfort. The landscaping is beautiful and definitely picturesque. Our host Whitney was superb and deserves some praise (can't spell 'Praise' without a 'raise'). She was sweet, warm and knowledgeable about their wines and made for good interaction. I think we tried about 7 wines and this is rare when I say that I enjoyed every one of them. I ended up buying 3 different bottles which is the most I have ever bought at a single winery and am kicking myself as I should have bought a couple more. They always make great gifts or party welcomes. I think I've been to close to 25 wineries in the Napa area alone and this one has got to rank in my Top 5. I will be back for sure.

The best thing about Alpha Omega is that is that it's very family friendly. Not many wineries welcome children and this location was very accommodating. Our children were well behaved, I kept them occupied with lots of arts and craft activities, but my child still end up knocking over a glass of wine. Our server Jokayla was so gracious with us and helped us clean up. She was also very accommodating with everyone's taste preferences and offered customized recommendations for us. This is one of the wineries that did not require an upfront charge to enter which I appreciate so much. Not everyone in our party drank. Up to 2 adults can share a $75 flight of wine. If you purchase 2 or more bottles of wine, the tasting fee is waived. The pours are also plenty so this is a great deal. I just loved their flexibility. Valet parking was free! The winery is upscale, with beautiful views of the vineyard and the water fountain if you get terrace seating. We had reservations for 10:30am and had front row at the terrace. We had a relaxing time and this is one winery I will highly recommend to families. 100% we will come back and enjoy this beautiful location and great service!

Call well in advance to see if any appointments are available. Gandona offers a unique setting above Lake Hennessey with unmatched visitas and beauty. Plus the winery itself is classic in its look, atmosphere, and the owners' use of reclaimed and repurposed wood and other materials. A quick tour preceeded our tasting and it was evident what a very special set of vineyards Gandona has as their own. Beautiful views abound at every turn in the paths! No wonder their wines are highlly sought after and their Cabernet Sauvignons are unmatched in the world of wine. Erin was a friendly, helpful, and amazingly knowledgeable host for our visit. Eventhough it was high season, we were not rushed and afforded a wonderful and relaxed tasting! The Gandona tasting room is set to take full advantage of the views and surroundings. The stone work alone is worth the visit. The Gandona Cabs are amazing, full-bodied, lushly layered wines and you can taste Pritchard Hill's influence along with the hand of famed winemaker Philippe Melka in the glass! If you are a fan of the best Cabs offered in the Napa Valley, be sure to include Gandona Estate in your visits! You will be treated to an amazing set of expereinces! Cheers!
