Domaine Carneros is an amazing place to spend and evening, for a tasting and yummy bubbles. I am not much of a bubbles lover, DC really had me enjoying each sip that was paired with a delicious charcuterie board. The board had a blend of fresh fruit and veggies along with a few dry fruits, two types of cheeses and salami. Pâté along with delicious caviar. The place looks amazing, inside it can get a little loud, they also have tables outside which are perfect on a hot sunny day. I loved every sip of the bubble pours we had. We ended up tasting a lot more that our flight had. Domaine Carneros has a few different tasting experiences. We choose to go with "The Sabrage experience". A couple of years ago during our Italy trip, at our stay in Florence we go to experience the Sabrage for the first time at our hotel. It felt good to relive that moment over bubbles and some delicious food. The service was amazing from the moment you arrive they make you feel welcomed and from there it's all about the vibe, bubbles and enjoying the moment and creating memories. read more

This place was definitely very busy and very touristy but you know what, it's exactly the vibe we wanted. Service was pretty good and we got a beautiful spot outside near the fountain overlooking the road. Our gal Caryssa was amazing and pretty prompt, talking about the sparkling wines and coming back with extra bread for our caviar. We both got the elevated tasting that was about $60 each, along with the 2 caviars and the macarons. The macarons were fantastic, especially the pistachio one and the coconut one and came with some fresh fruit. The caviar was fantastic, honestly a great splurge. They also have a red flight for those in your life visiting who may not like bubbles. Overall gorgeous space, gets super busy on the weekends and there is a small line for the womens restrooms. Tons of things to buy onsite but the bubbles were quite tasty, including the brut rose. read more

Came to Napa for a wedding and decided to revisit this winery because it was also the start of my race a few weeks back. The estate is gorgeous with limited parking so make a reservation. It's just off the 12 and easily visible off the road. We took a seat outside and it was nice and chilly out. We got to enjoy the birds bathing and do our tasting of sparkling wine. Each one was delicious as well as the small plates of nuts and cheese we got. Overall great experience with good service. read more

What a beautiful day and winery. This is less than an hour from our house. Such a beautiful picturesque place multiple terraces to sit, fountain and a view of the vines. They also have indoor seating. It would have been nice if they had more food options but what a gorgeous place. We would go back for the view. Our first time at this winery. read more

3.7/5 We visited Domain Carneros to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and it was a really nice experience. We enjoyed two tasting flights, and both were very good. We also tried the caviar with chicken nuggets and tater tots, which was honestly one of the highlights -- such a fun and surprisingly delicious combination! The service was great, and the atmosphere was beautiful, making it a perfect place to relax and celebrate such a special milestone together. Overall, we had a wonderful time and were glad we chose Domain Carneros to start our anniversary weekend read more

ChatGPT recommended Domaine Carneros for its beautiful setting in a château inspired by Château de la Marquetterie, the historic home associated with Champagne Taittinger in France, its vineyard views, and an elegant seated tasting of sparkling wines. It is a beautiful château with seating both inside and outside on the terrace overlooking the vineyards. I made reservations in advance, and once we arrived, we could choose among three different tastings, ranging from about $45 to $60, depending upon the wines. If you prefer sweeter sparkling wines, ask which tasting would be the best choice for you. I also recommend adding the charcuterie plate, which came with three cheeses, crackers, dried cranberries, and honey and paired very nicely with the sparkling wines. Caviar is also available if you want to make the experience more indulgent. Dylan gave us a quick overview of the differences among the tastings and explained the four flutes of sparkling wine we would be trying. For me, Domaine Carneros is especially well suited to someone who wants to sit back, sip sparkling wine, and enjoy a beautiful vineyard view. It would also be a lovely choice for a romantic date. If you're looking for an in-depth educational tasting with extensive discussion about the winery's history or the individual wines, you may need to take the initiative and ask more questions. Our experience was more about enjoying the wines, the château, and the scenery than receiving a detailed wine education. And sometimes, sitting on a terrace overlooking Napa vineyards with four glasses of sparkling wine with some cheese and crackers to nibble on is a pretty great experience in itself. read more

Stopped here for a Saturday afternoon wine tasting with some friends. The winery sits on a hill overlooking napa wine country, which is very beautiful. We tried a couple of their red wines and ordered a couple bottles of bubbly for the table, which were refreshing and not too sweet. We also ordered a charcuturie board, which I enjoyed. There was a variety of pickles, mustard, nuts, and cheeses and you could really customize your bite. read more

What a beautiful winery! We did the early tasting at 10am and as we came here early. This place gets so busy. Corey answered all our questions and he was great. This is a great place for a celebration, date, or just if you want to go to a nice winery. We didn't get a membership as their wines are good but not something we wanted to have sent to us every other month. read more

On my girls winery day, this was the fanciest place we visited. It almost felt like a resort. Think manicured lawns, elegant vibes, and pinky's up! We ordered the nuggets with caviar and tots. It was honestly the perfect sharing finger food and we loved the nugget plus crème fresh and caviar combo. Who would have thought?! The bubbly flights were alright. I wasn't super impressed but it was a good time. Overall I probably wouldn't come back here for the wines alone but I felt fancy and enjoyed the atmosphere read more

We pulled up unannounced thinking we could, lol, but heads up! You need rezzies so be ware! We called from the parking lot and happily secured an on the spot rezz. First time here for sparkling wine tasting, sweet and it was!! Pleasantly welcomed in to the chateau replica. Our sommelier was knowledgeable and down to earth. He even gave us an additional tasting of 2020 Late Disgorged Brut which was delicious!! The grounds are lovely the atmosphere is open bright with a fountain and birds bathing and seeking tidbits, absolutely beautiful! This is a definite must, if you're in the area and even if you're not! Domaine Carneros, y'all come check it! read more

Five stars. My bestie is a member and a foodie like me. We were treated like VIPs on our hot girls date to Napa on a random Tuesday. We were greeted warmly and with genuine smiles. We sat outside on the patio with lots of umbrellas (gotta protect the skin!). We got the sparkling sampler and oh boy what a treat! My bestie loves this place because they have the most food options in her opinion. I loved that we got tater tots, fancy chicken nuggets fancy chicken nuggets, along with caviar . We also got the delicious charcuterie board. Our server I forget his name I want to say John but he was a true Delight very gentleman like an enthusiastic explaining the notes and how to taste our sparkling beverages in order from less sweet to sweeter. 100/100 read more

Very nice winery with many steps to enter the winery!!! You may get out of breath but once you finish you will see how beautiful this estate is!! The service was phenomenal we had Bogar and he was very professional!! On the other hand, I did not care for the wines as much we had for our tasting. I tried the sparkling tasting and my favorite one was VERMELL DEMI-SEC!! It was just the right amount of sweetness and crisp!! The ambiance is really beautiful!!! So many good pics to take!! With the vineyards and scenic view where you sit for tastings!! May come back here when I'm in Napa! -Marshay D. read more

We visited Domaine Carneros to celebrate my daughter's birthday and had a wonderful experience. We enjoyed a champagne flight paired with a charcuterie board, and everything was beautifully presented and delicious. The weather was absolutely perfect, allowing us to relax and take in the stunning vineyard views from the terrace. Despite making same-day reservations, everything went smoothly, and it wasn't overly crowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Between the beautiful grounds, excellent sparkling wines, and relaxing atmosphere, Domaine Carneros made for a memorable birthday celebration. We highly recommend it for a special occasion or a day of wine tasting in Napa. read more

We had a 2:30 PM reservation here for a party of six. Walking up the grand staircase at Domaine Carneros is so dramatic because you're completely surrounded by tailored topiary, blooming flowers, and lush green grapevines hugging both sides. The property is absolutely beautiful, and we had a fantastic tasting experience. Even as someone who isn't usually a big fan of champagne, the experience was still wonderful. Our server was sweet, attentive, and accommodating. We sat outside on the terrace, which was perfect even though it was scorching hot this weekend, getting to enjoy those stunning vineyard views made it completely worth it. If you're a fan of sparkling wine and beautiful views, I highly recommend checking them out! read more

Amazing winery. It was my second time here, this time for an anniversary. We did the sparkling wine tasting+oyster tasting, and everything was absolutely perfect. The day was sunny so the view from where we were sitting was extra beautiful. Wine was delicious and paired well with the oysters, just as the server recommended. I wish I remembered his name, he had a British accent and was extremely friendly; definitely added to this amazing experience. The oysters MELTED in our mouths, we ended up getting 2 dozen in total. We also got the puff pastry with smoked salmon+caviar. They were bite sized and tasted good, but didn't love the pastry. The price for the whole experience was definitely reasonable and I'll be back for it again soon. One small complaint is that the chairs for outdoor seating are not comfortable to me. So I reallly appreciated the chairs in the dining area, so I can enjoy the food, drinks, and scenery, all while being comfortable. read more

This winery is absolutely gorgeous! We came on a Spring sunny day so everything was golden and beautiful. We did the taste of Caribbean tasting, and the pairings were delicious. The wines - all sparkling - were also excellent. We also got to sample other wines as part of this paid experience. However, I would recommend visiting a smaller winery if you plan to do this one. It felt like this winery was very focused on the commercial aspect of the wine business. Our server basically talked through all the wines at once at the very beginning of the tasting and quickly left that I quickly forgot most of what he said midway through. Our whole experience was done in about 30 minutes and we had 60 minutes left... which was left to sampling the other wines but without any personal touch. This is quite a subjective point of view, but I prefer an experience where I am sitting with staff and learning about the wine making process and winery. 5 stars for the wines and view, 3 for the experience! read more

Always a wonderful experience. The caviar and vegan cheese selection is phenomenal. The service is almost always 5 star and the sparkling wines are what dreams are made of! Sitting outside on the patios is truly a beautiful experience. read more

Had a nice experience here fourth of july weekend. Snagged a reservation but we had to wait 10-15min after waiting in a line to check in. Finally seated, tried the sparkling wine and the cheese and meat plate. Didnt really enjoy the sparkling wine and really enjoyed the meat and cheese plate. Loved the views and great place to take pictures. Maybe their pinot flight would have been better. Glad we came and experienced it! read more

First time visiting & we had an amazing time! It's such a beautiful place, with great views. We booked the Art of Sparkling Wine Pairing: Bubbles and Bites Colors of the Caribbean. It came with 4 savory bites and 1 sweet, paired with 4 sparkling wines. Everything was delicious, they were able to accommodate gluten free & dairy free. Our server did a great job explaining the flavors & pairing of each drink & dish. Make sure you make reservations. I choose Jardin d'Hiver indoor seating so it's cooler with AC, they seated us by the open doors so it felt like we were outside & the morning breeze was nice. It was a great way to celebrate our anniversary, I'm so glad we chose this place! read more

Cute Chateau-style sparkling winery in Napa. Reserved the $45 tasting online but was happy to find that we didn't all have to do the champagne tasting, as long as we spent the $45 per person minimum on consumables. Since this was our last stop of the day, we went with one glass of the Brut ($16) each to toast the birthday girl, the Caviar Flight that includes three 0.5 ounce jars of caviar, potato chips, toast points, Carr crackers, small bowl of crème fraiche and lemon wedges, and tried the salmon gougeres. While they had good flavor, they were on the drier side. We easily hit our minimum spend with the selection and enjoyed the French opulence, along with the cute goods for purchase on the way out. They also added 18% automatically for our party of 6 to the final bill. Great for pictures, although we got rained in. Still a good stop for sparkling wine lovers. read more

Domaine Carneros - Caviar Flight - Wineries Near Me - Napa, California

The first winery we checked out was Domaine Carneros. This place is beautiful and we came on a perfect day in Napa. I had a tasting of the merlots and they all tasted great. We had a total of four couples at this tasting. At first we only ordered two cheeseboards for the tasting, but since we feared it would not be enough, we ordered a third. The guy doing our tasting said three maybe too much. We then decided to order a fourth because we had four couples. The guy was again saying that was maybe too much. We ordered a fourth cheeseboard anyway and we are glad that we did. What came out was four of the smallest cheeseboards ever. We all had such a big laugh because we started to second guess ourselves by thinking we ordered too much. The tasting was $45 a person and the cheeseboard was $25 each. read more

My friend is a member here and I've also visited many times over the years. Usually we sit outside in the members only patio but there is no bad spot inside or outside. The space is very large so you could definitely host events here like a wedding. Service is attentive and friendly. They have updated their menu and offer more substantial food now. We ordered the chicken nuggets, tots and caviar. The smoked salmon platter is very popular. My favorite sparkling wine is the extra dry brut. Would recommend if you like sparkling wine or red wine! read more

I never drink, but this was a really great first experience. The Asian glow kicked in really quickly after my first bubbly, probably would get drunk off a Shirley temple. The place itself is lovely, did get attacked by a pigeon, but can't blame him, the wine was just that good. Left the experience with 2 bottles to take home, would totally come back again. Friendly staff, good scenery, quiet atmosphere. Great experience! read more

Have driven by this place for years and finally went for a tasting - and had a great experience! We loved sitting on the patio and taking in the views. We enjoyed the sparkling and the red samples, as well as charcuterie board, and they were all great. The black noir sparkling is now one of my favorite's - we quickly bought a bottle! The service was good and overall a great vibe, we didn't feel rushed at all and loved just soaking in the views. Only little complaint was the umbrellas were all open so there was a lot of shade, where I generally prefer more sun. But overall great experience, wine, and setting! read more

From the flawless check-in to the exceptional service, I always enjoy my visits to Domaine Carneros. Alex was an outstanding server and presented me with the Classic Sparkling Wine that I love. He also shared the fascinating history of the winery and explained how each wine is thoughtfully crafted. Every time I visit, I learn something new, which makes the experience even more special. This visit, I tried a new sparkling wine with delicate hints of pineapple, and it was absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be purchasing a bottle in the next few weeks--although I just received my monthly wine club shipment, so I'll have to make room for another favorite. What truly sets Domaine Carneros apart is the breathtaking scenery. The stunning château, beautifully designed indoor spaces, and gorgeous outdoor terraces overlooking the vineyards create the perfect setting to relax with a glass of sparkling wine. Whether you're sitting inside surrounded by elegant décor or outside taking in the spectacular views, you'll find yourself wanting to spend the entire day there. The service is consistently five-star, the wines are exceptional, and the atmosphere is simply unforgettable. Every visit leaves me feeling refreshed and grateful for the experience. If you're looking for an incredible wine destination, Domaine Carneros should be at the top of your list--I know I'll be coming back again and again! read more

What a great place! From the start, our experience was wonderful. Weather permitting, I suggest sitting out on the patio that overlooks the valley. What a beautiful setting! Ambience Grade: A Our server was great and catered to us. He was super knowledgeable about the wines and sparkling beverages they had. He gave suggestions and even handled my cousin's case that she had ordered ahead of time. From start to finish, he was on top of his game! Service Grade: A+ As a member, you receive free tastings and one free appetizer. We ended up ordering a couple of extra appetizers. The smoked salmon was very tasty and was served with bread, crackers, capers, and a creamy sauce. The meat-and-cheese charcuterie was delicious as well. Food Grade: A The sparkling wine tasting was phenomenal! My wife and cousin agreed. The flavors and quality really stood out from most places I have been. I really enjoyed all of them. Grade: A Overall, Domaine Carneros is a must-go for us from now on when we visit Napa. From the service to the beautiful views, you will have the best time! Overall Grade: A read more

Absolutely loved Domaine Carneros! My husband and I booked our reservation about a month in advance. This is a popular vineyard in Napa, so make sure you secure your spot early. There's plenty of parking out front. The grounds are BEAUTIFUL, picturesque, and incredibly stunning. We sat on the patio to enjoy the views & gorgeous weather. We selected the red wine flight, which was priced well at $45 per person. The Le Ciel Serein Pinot Noir was my favorite glass in the flight. We had a glass of Brut as a palate cleanse before heading to our next winery. I highly recommend visiting Domaine Carneros! read more

Domaine Carneros is one of my favorite wineries to visit, and this experience made me love it even more! I celebrated my birthday here with my sister, and Jess took absolutely amazing care of us.

The winery is absolutely beautiful and such a wonderful place to celebrate a birthday. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we signed up for a membership! We're so happy we did and will absolutely be coming back. Thank you, Jess, for making our visit so special! read more

Wow, how far Domaine Carneros has fallen is truly sad. I have been coming here since childhood (with about at 15 year break for obvious reasons). In the 90s and early 00s they allowed well-behaved kids, and I remember being enchanted by the sheep cutouts, the pate and cheese, and the beautiful fountain. We eventually stopped being brought around, but my parents stayed members for decades. When I returned as an adult as guests on my parent's membership, the visits were wonderful. Servers were warm, the wine was phenomenal, the view stunning, and the food always great. After years of joining my parents, I finally became a member myself. Since then, visits with my husband have been inconsistent. To be clear, WE are consistent- we dress well, behave respectfully, never overindulge, and tip generously. Most of the time service is attentive, we taste everything, order plenty of food, and buy lots of wine to take home. Friends have even joined because they loved the experience. But about a third of the time service feels strict, stingy, and inattentive, and I cannot understand why our treatment differs so much from my parents, even with the same servers. But, we came back again and again, because MOST off the time it's a dream. This past weekend, however, may cost them two memberships. We visited with two couples, one already a member and one interested in joining. We were dressed well, respectful, and ordered plenty of food. After asking for a couple more tastes to go with our next round, we were told there was a limit of four pours. When the server returned (I had asked for some time to reconsider the tastes if we were limited), she said three. Everyone agreed we were told four the first time. If this is a new policy, why did it change within minutes? Why weren't we informed the first time we asked to try something else? Service declined from there. No checking on shade, slow follow ups when we asked for additional accoutrements, and no water top offs unless we asked. We were absolutely mortified that our good friends we had invited had this as their first experience, after us spending years telling them about how magical it generally is here. We ended our visit early and spent our money at Iron Horse Vineyards, where we enjoyed hours of great wine and a beautiful view without being cut off. One of the couples actually ended up joining their wine club based on the stark differences. Domaine Carneros lost an additional membership, hundreds in purchases, and may lose two dedicated members. All it would have taken was a few more ounces and a little more time. When we visit wineries where we hold memberships, we expect to be treated as valued guests and to enjoy tasting as much of the menu as we can until we are finished. Little gifts sent to us on our membership anniversaries are cute, but where is that same sentiment when we're there in person? That doesn't seem like too much to ask for other wineries. I keep giving Domaine Carneros chances though, as I have so many amazing memories here. My parents were shocked when I told them. They had just visited and had the experience they have enjoyed for decades. So why didn't we? We now have to decide if keeping this membership is worth it. The wine is excellent and the views impeccable, but I am not sure I want to support a place that so clearly chooses who gets better treatment. read more

My partner and I visited this Winery recently on vacation while in Napa Valley, CA. This came highly recommended to us for both the wine and the views, and I can say it did not disappoint! When you first drive up to the winery, you are met with the beautiful building with cascading steps that seem right out of a painting! Additionally, the views from the outdoor tasting area are as equally beautiful. We made a reservation, and check in was extremely easy and we were sat quickly. We were promptly met with our wine guide who provided options of the different tastings offered. I chose the Sparkling Wine Tasting, while my partner chose the red tasting. He brought out all wines and walked us through their profile, and left us alone to try them at our pace. Additionally, we were brought a wine list that had pricing toward the end of the tasting in case we wanted to purchase any, but the salesmen were not pushy. Once our tasting was complete, we walked around the winery and enjoyed the views! I would recommend this to anyone visiting Napa Valley. read more

We booked the Scent and Savor wine tour at Domaine Carneros. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We were led through the scents with 9 pairs for our Pinot Noir and Sparking wine.

We've been visiting Domaine Carneros since 1998-and love returning time and again to see what new experiences await. read more
