    Absolutely wonderful wine tasting experience. My friend and I did the Act 1 tasting and was able to try 4 different types of wine with one extra tasting of our choice. We were given finger food snacks with our wine which were tasty. Their Cabernet is so good. I'm just getting into wine so it's hard for me to describe wine but their 2019 Cabernet definitely has layers of flavor. We were able to explore the house and the outside grounds with wine in hand. The house is gorgeous with their two different styles from the bottom and top floor. There is a speakeasy below the house and the view outside is amazing. We needed getting a bottle of wine and it came with a very nice well made wine bag. I would definitely come back here again.

    Faust Haus is a restored 1870's Victorian Mansion painted black. The black paint creates a gothic look for the house that sits on a hillside. Faust wines are from their Coombsville vineyard which is the southern most part of the Napa Valley. The vineyard has volcanic soil and cool climates. I hadn't heard of coombsville before but I enjoy a cool climate wine, so looked forward to tasting the wines. The winery is mainly Cabernet Sauvignon ( limited production) but Sauvignon Blanc is served as a welcome splash. There's seating inside the house and outside on the terraced patio. The day we visited inside seating was unavailable due to a plumbing issue, but it was a really nice day so sat outside and enjoyed the view. I'll need to come back because I really wanted to see the inside of the house and the prohibition era cellar. Snacks were served with tasting - veggies, crackers, pimento dip and a beet hummus dip. We didn't really eat it since we just came from lunch, but nice to have the snacks available. I enjoyed all the wines offered with their Act I tasting. The service was fantastic, parking easy and the winery is located right on hwy 29, so not hard to find. We left with their Pact Cabernet Sauvignon- " As soon as you trust yourself- you will know how to live".

    We went on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't too busy. It has a beautiful view of Saint Helena. They welcomed us with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and then we did a seated tasting downstairs in their cave/wine cellar. This property mainly does only reds the only white wine is a Sauvignon Blanc. It was just they're welcome wine they don't make a lot of cases of that. The host was very cool and the story behind the house is very cool! They do ask if you wanna know the story behind it or not because it does have to do with "making a deal with the devil" which I appreciated them asking before we accepted. Very cool Black house and story behind how it became a winery. Also the sister properties of the winery are opus one and flowers in Healdsburg. If you like cabs, syrahs and Merlot I definitely feel like it's worth a visit.

    It's great to be back at Faust. Each visit I learn something new about them. My favorite wines there are Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot. Couldn't resist this time and purchased a few more bottles for the holidays. Property is gorgeous and has a lot of history and meaning in the design. You can never go wrong with their tasting and food served to accompany the wines. Staff is really great and happy to share their knowledge about the property and wines.

    The estate was cool to visit and the service was friendly but unfortunately we didnt like any of the wines. We opted for the tour which allowed us to see around the house, learn a little about the history of the winery, tour the cellar area where the barrels were and do a barrel tasting, tour a speakeasy bar on property, and then end with a tasting in a beautiful private room with a plate of cheese and charcuterie. Overall a pleasant visit but just wish I liked the wines more!

    A great personal tasting experience and some classic Napa cabs. Came with a friend on a winter Saturday. They were all sold out of tours, so we opted for the winter at the winery experience which had a tasting and some extra special snacks. Our host was lovely and gave us a really personal guided tasting, since we were a little earlier in the day and it hadn't filled up yet, he had lots of time to speak with us. The wines were typical Napa cabs, a good representation of the region and the little fondue onion dip and dippables paired with it nicely. Worth noting that this experience took place in their back tank holding building which was set up nicely, but wasn't as cool as the house. We were still able to walk through the house after and enjoy the views from there as well.

    We had never heard of Faust Wines before our trip to Napa, but we were provided it as a recommendation from our resort concierge and we're glad they did so we could explore a new place! Faust is located in St. Helena and is centrally located in Napa Valley. When you arrive, they have a private parking lot down the hill with ample free parking, and you walk up the hill to the "Faust Haus". The landscaping is truly beautiful as you walk up to the Victorian style home. When you arrive, you're greeted outside and checked in by the host, and are provided with a glass of champagne as you're escorted to your table. I highly recommend getting a reservation in advance as the tasting areas are pretty small in scale and could be busy I could imagine at times. Tasting fees vary, we opted for the Act 1 tasting for $75 which starts with some light snacks and 4 different wines. Our host was really nice explaining the winery and the various wines and also brought us one of the wines from the library selection to taste as well as a bonus. All of the wines were absolutely outstanding and we left purchasing a bottle of "The Pact" Cab for $125 which was absolutely amazing! We've added Faust to our list of wineries we must return to on our next trip!

    Fabulous picnic experience at Faust!! Since they were hosting a private event inside their beautiful Victorian, we were able to book a picnic experience outside. They were so accommodating - Due to traffic, we were 45 minutes late. We called to inform them and they were so friendly and said they would still be able to host us. We got there and the views were spectacular. It was such a hot day and were were immediately greeted at check in with some fabulous white wine. The host walked us over to the table and we were seated under a large umbrella, which was a perfect amount of shade for the two of us. The host that served us at our table, Julio, was very professional and informative about the wine and the history of the property. The food and wines were amazing!! The house was beautiful and I would love to come back for the full tour because it was such a great experience!

    Date of Visit: 8/5/2023 Exploring one of the most mystery wineries in Napa Valley! Love the Victorian main tasting room painted in black. There were even a hidden bar tasting room down at the basement. A perfect reflect of the Prohibition era. ACT I tasting can be enjoying at indoor or outdoor. With a taste of the four following wines: 2022 Faust Sauvignon Blanc 2020 The Hour Syrah 2020 The Lure Merlot 2019 The Pact Cabernet Sauvignon

    **A review purely on the ambiance. I came here with some wine tasters and loved the ambiance of the place. Great overlook and a very well decorated place that is suited for groups. We sat in the basement area but also had a gander upstairs. A very clean and comfortable setting!

    Truly have never fallen so in love with a place like I did with Faust. Ask for the story/concept behind the decor. The art was so well thought out and really tells the story so well with every inch of this building. Perched up on a hill you get a gorgeous view and our experience was so private and personable. We were able to ask a lot of questions and learned so much about wine and the process they use in making their wine But the wine itself is what makes it memorable. I've never been to napa so I assumed all wine tasted like Faust but I was so wrong. Faust wine is the smoothest wine I've ever had in my life. I want to order a case after I left because I was so in love with every pour they gave us. Cannot wait to come back!

The only downside from our most recent visit was learning that the complimentary cheese plate is no longer automatically offered to members of certain tiers. That was a small touch that really set The Prisoner apart from other wineries and made the experience feel even more special. It was something we genuinely looked forward to every time. We still love everything about The Prisoner and will continue to visit and support, but we do hope they reconsider bringing that perk back--it made a great experience even better.

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"

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!

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!
