Pretty good winery. It has a decent sized property that you can explore as well as chickens. If you like to chickens, this is a great one. The wine is pretty good. The tasty was a little expensive, but not the end of the world. Their customer service made up for it all. If you like wine and chickens, give this place a shot. read more

Was a little disappointed with the wine tasting as I've been to many. If you want to get away from the influencers, this is your spot. The property is very cute, simple with no frills. The host, Jose, was great. The disappointment was the lack of one-on-one interaction. I didn't expect to have a dedicated host for the entire 75-90 minutes, but I also didn't expect to have to go get my own wine each time I was ready for a new taste. Mind you, I did pay $50 (garden tasting) and that was the cheapest of the offerings. Also, the wine was just ok. If it's your first time, this is fine. But for more experienced wine tasters, this is a hard pass. read more

After more than three years as club members, I'm embarrassed it took me this long to leave a review. Frog's Leap is simply our favorite winery in Napa Valley, and the reasons run deeper than the wine itself. In a valley increasingly dominated by cabernet sauvignon monoculture, John and Rory Williams have stayed true to a different philosophy -- growing and making wines that reflect genuine passion rather than market trends. They are also committed to responsible farming practices like organic, dry farming that are not only good for the land, but result in wines that have a sense of place. That commitment shows in every bottle. Not every varietal will suit every palate (I haven't quite gotten behind Charbono yet - sorry Rory!), but each one is exceptionally well-crafted and represents remarkable value, especially against the Napa marketplace. The wines are site-driven, elegant and balanced, not just over-oaked fruit bombs. The property is gorgeous, the tasting room staff are consistently warm and accommodating, and the winery is genuinely family-friendly -- something that matters to us greatly, as we often visit with our son. It's important to belong to a place that makes you feel welcomed, and not some of the sterile, hoity-toity atmosphere of many wineries these days. The club events and regular pickup party are highlights our whole family looks forward to when they come around. We have many great memories there like getting to help sort grapes in the 2023 vintage, cookie decorating around Christmas timeThere's also something special about seeing John and Rory at those events, hearing directly from them about their philosophy and how the current vintage is unfolding. That personal connection to the people behind the wine is rare and deeply appreciated. If you're looking for a winery that leads with integrity and craft over trend-chasing, Frog's Leap deserves your visit. read more

Frogs Leap is a beautiful winery in Rutherford, California not far from Yountville. I really like the Sauvignon Blanc which is light clean and refreshing! We had a tour of the grounds and it's so breathtakingly beautiful! They use organic grapes and the wine is pure and clean. They have chickens that produce fresh organic eggs and I'm excited to meet them all! Our guide is great and he's been working here since he was 18. Now he's 30 and he is fully immersed in the wine culture here. They grow their own vegetables and fruits and gorgeous sunflowers in different shades of yellow and orange that I've never seen before! Our tour guide said John gives the fruits and vegetables to all the employees which is so generous and benevolent! A+ experience read more

This vineyard is a true Napa experience. We had a unique opportunity to meet John Williams the founder and winemaker at Frog's Leap. He guided us through his amazing property (along with his dog Sadie) and a wine glass in hand. He took us through his facility and parts of the vineyard. You can feel the history of Napa when he walks you through his story. He is a legend in Napa, and both educated us and kept us laughing. We then sat and tasted a number of wines with him including a library selection that took the experience over the top. I highly recommend this winery for your next Napa visit. read more

There is almost nothing not to love about this winery. The wine is amazing and not ridiculously priced. The variety of tasting fit nearly every style. The people are wonderful and the service is amazing. I was fortunate to go on a quiet Saturday early and could not have had a better time. The ambiance feels like you're just relaxing at a friends farm. If you go to Napa it is absolutely a 'must' read more

We had a wonderful experience at Frog's Leap Winery! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the wine tour both enjoyable and informative. The vineyards were absolutely beautiful, and we loved learning more about the winery and its wines. We especially enjoyed the white wines--they were delicious! Overall, it was a lovely experience and a wonderful stop during our Napa trip. We would definitely recommend Frog's Leap to anyone visiting Napa Valley! read more

We were looking for an outdoor tasting experience where we could take in the wine region scenery while still having a laid back experience. The Garden Bar tasting was perfect for this! It's set up as a bar, where you can go at your own pace and return to the bar when you're ready for the next pour. You can walk around the garden or relax. This was perfect for my group since we wanted to stroll outside and take pictures while trying a variety of the wine. The staff was very friendly, and the property was lovely. The wines were good but not memorable for me personally, although admittedly I'm not the biggest wine drinker. I would say this is a great experience if you are optimizing for flexibility and a relaxing tasting (as opposed to a seated tasting with a stricter flow). read more

Definitely a must see winery in Napa. Very unpretentious tasting experience. Got the $75 tasting which started out at the main tasting facility, went in a brief tour around the vineyards and gardens, got to see the distillery and barrel room then concluded at a table on the patio at the main center. Our host, Brian, was awesome. His dad works at the estate also. He was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. I really wanted to try their premier Cab (Rossi) which wasn't included. I promised I'd buy at least one bottle and he accommodated which was really nice. I ended up buying two of them. The grounds are beautiful and they say you can sample the fruit if you can reach it in the trees. I had a Tangelo and a plum. read more

We really enjoyed coming to frogs leap! We had our dogs with us so did the garden tasting which allowed pets. You get to walk through their beautiful garden grounds and stop by the outdoor garden bar. They give you a glass and you can seat yourself anywhere or just walk around. You then go back to the bar to get additional pours for the tasting We really liked all the wines we tasted here including the whites. The bartender / sommelier was also super friendly and overall, had a great experience visiting read more

This a nice family friendly winery. We did the garden tasting and the views were gorgeous. The tasting options were great and staff were super nice. They even took us early for appointment because we arrived early. I did wish the wine servers came around instead of having to get up to get the next glass. read more

We are from out of town and we visited this winery. This is by far the worst winery that I've ever been to. The vineyard itself is quite gorgeous and their garden is absolutely beautiful. The staff were so very nice and offered our family peaches and we're very accommodating. However, the wine is awful, and it's very overpriced. The only wine that I kind of liked was a Cabernet. For six bottles of this Cabernet it was $750. I think that's a bit too much. I would not go back. read more

This vineyard was a lovely follow-up to Davis Estates. This vineyard in contrast is like a walk through an E.M. Forster setting. The garden is beautiful with gorgeous sunflowers and a wide range of flora. We did the garden tasting only and it was a perfect unrushed way to enjoy the wine and the scenery. The house is picturesque and warm ~ segue into the garden. If you are looking for grand epic vistas ~ then you may want to try elsewhere. But if you are a nature lover and appreciate a casual yet beautiful surrounding / not to mention delicious wines...do not hesitate to visit! read more

Unfortunately we were told the path to the garden area for the tasting. Made it there, which was peaceful and beautiful. That's where it falls short. We were handed a mystery glass and told to roam. No explanation of this wine, vintage, type, anything. Other wineries offer a hosted winery for the same price as the mystery tastings. Some information would be nice for the price. read more

Had such a lovely time tasting at Frog's Leap! The property is absolutely beautiful and the service was great! We had a reservation for our group of 8, after a few minutes waiting by the frog pond - which did indeed have some frogs, we were taken to the lovely trellised garden tasting area. Our tasting was led by Jazz, who was very personable and ended up being a great host. He never rushed us and made sure that our glasses were never empty for too long. We tasted six wines throughout the visit, with the rosé and the flycatcher red blend being the favorite amongst the group, just about everyone went home with a bottle of one or the other. We enjoyed exploring the property, and wish we hadn't had to leave for another reservation so quickly because we absolutely would've wandered some more. It was an expansive property with so much to see. We also got to feed the chickens, which was a fun highlight for the day. Would definitely come back here and will recommend this spot to people looking for Napa Valley wineries! read more

I was looking for something to do before dinner, and we had about 1.5 hours to kill, so someone recommended we see if Frog's Leap could accommodate us. Thankfully, we were in luck and our party of 5 was able to do a tasting in the gardens before they closed for the day. The gardens were absolutely beautiful. We came in spring, so we saw so many flowers, but it was especially the jasmine growing on the trellis that was captivating. It smelled wonderful. With our tasting fee, each person was able to taste four wines, and how it worked was you would get one wine poured at a time by Manny in the trailer, and then you could leisurely enjoy it at any table in the gardens and then go back up to the trailer in order to get your next wine. I really enjoyed the rosé and reds I tried, and Manny even let us try a bit of Zinfandel (which is not included in the standard 4 wines with the tasting). I also loved that they had a jar of souvenir corks you could take for free. Manny also explained the newest bottle design which allows you to easily remove the label after running the bottle under water, so that it is easier to reuse and recycle. I thought that was a great and innovative design. All in all, this tasting is great for people looking for a more laidback tasting experience in a beautiful setting. The main house you enter through is also beautiful and has a wraparound porch (would love to return for the other experiences at this winery). read more

Of all the places we visited in Napa and Sonoma we probably felt most connected to this one because we got to see grapes being crushed (!!) I kind of can't believe we were allowed so close, but it was incredibly special to drink a Sauvignon blanc while watching this year's Sauvignon blanc harvest make its way through the process. We even got to try some of the juice. Elsewhere on the property is lovely--kindof a "we will come find you with your next tasting" vibe--but getting so close to the crush was absolutely the highlight of the day and one of the highlights of our week-long trip. Highly recommend for the laid back, kind staff that are here! You can drink wine anywhere... but when you're on site in wine country, this is the kind of experience that makes a place unforgettable. read more

Wow!! We did the Garden Bar tasting and were blown away by pretty much everything. The grounds and plants were stunning with larger tables set out near the bar (loved the shipping container use!) and sets of Adirondack chairs scattered throughout the garden. We loved the concept of meandering around the garden and stopping back to the bar when you are ready for your next taste. I had never done a tasting in that format and think it's a really great idea, especially on a beautiful Spring day. (My daughter said she did not want to leave!!) Natalie and Lucinda were very knowledgeable about the winery and the wines and Kristen(? - sorry if I got that wrong) who checked us in and out was super friendly and kind. We got stuck in bad East Bay traffic on our way up and thought we'd miss our tasting but she was reassuring and we did not miss it. We will definitely be back (try to get there earlier for more time in the beautiful garden) and recommend Frog's Leap whenever we have guests from out of town! Much thanks to all of the staff for making our experience so memorable!! read more

We visited Napa back in September and I'm finally getting around to leaving reviews. We LOVE LOVE LOVED Frog's Leap!!! The property was so beautiful. We were greeted by Sadie and she let us give her lots of pets, which helped with us missing our 2 Aussies back at home. We did the Garden Bar reservation and our host was Vianca. She was super chill and gave us the rundown on the property at a great pace where we weren't ever out of wine, but didn't feel rushed. The garden is absolutely stunning to walk through. So many different plants and flowers to look at. We ended up running into another couple in the garden that was visiting Napa from Indianapolis as well! We also enjoyed seeing all the chickens and the day to day work at the vineyard. This was the only winery that we had wanted to join their wine club, but ended up being unable to because they cannot ship directly to Indiana. I think we could do a 3rd party shipping service with the wine club, but it increase the cost quite a bit. I would like to revisit it though because we really loved their wines. We ended up purchasing the wine club wines + 2 extra bottles of the concrete aged Sauvignon Blanc (one of our favorite ones of our whole trip) to ship back one time via 3rd party. read more

Honestly tried to like this place but the guide and wine was not what I expected. The wine we tried was not very good and the tour was very bland. Maybe it was because we came from Pride winery which was an amazing experience but I was kind of expecting the same with a higher price point. The tour was at most 20 minutes long and pretty disappointed in the wine. It felt like our tour guide did not want to be there and just reading off a script. read more

Highly recommend this winery! I went with 2 friends and we had such a lovely time here. We had made a reservation for an outdoor wine tasting, and were disheartened to see that it would be rainy & windy that day. However, the Frog's Leap staff were super accommodating and placed us under a covered porch with tarps to protects us from the wind, and the porch was also heated with lamps! They even brought us blankets to warm us up. The whole experience was so very cozy and lovely. Although it was very rainy and gloomy, the outdoor view from the porch was still beautiful. The winery grounds are really nice and spacious and I know it would be absolutely gorgeous to walk through on a sunny day. They even have a dog! Our wine tasting guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. We loved listening to her give a little speech about each wine she was giving us. Out of the 5 wines we tasted, my favorite was the sauvignon blanc. Really refreshing and light. They also gave us complimentary snacks (seasoned chips, almonds, cheese, cranberry/ginger crostini, and a whipped cheese) which paired so nicely with the wine! We weren't expecting snacks at all so it was such a pleasant surprise. This place is quite affordable and you definitely get your money's worth out of the cozy ambiance and the amazing service. The interior is so nicely decorated and really feels like a super comfy and inviting home, with a fireplace and couches and all. All the staff were so friendly and treated us like family. They offered to take our umbrellas while we did the wine tasting and also were willing to take pictures of us :) Will be saying only positive things about this place to all my friends who ask about it! read more

Absolutely 10/10, given the overall experience I'd put it at 100/100. Everything was fantastic. Regardless if you've done hundreds of tasting tours in Napa or are just looking for your first, this experience is absolutely worth it. They only do two a day, so be sure to make reservations and plan to spend about two hours from start to finish, and I promise you it'll be the best time you'll spend in the area. read more

We enjoyed a wonderful first tasting of the day at Frog's Leap Winery. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a beautiful waiting area- warm woods, fireplace and leather seats. What a beautiful ambiance. We were taken to the back patio that was covered. They offered blankets in case we got cold. We had a beautiful view of the vineyards. Our wonderful host walked us through the wines and we enjoyed our tasting of their different varietals. There were a few wines that really stood out to me. The Chardonnay was unique and I enjoyed the merlot a lot. Great experience overall. read more

The grounds are absolutely gorgeous. This was our 4th stop of our Napa trip, and we'd made a reservation to split a tasting, which they accommodated graciously. Wine itself just wasn't my cup of tea, but I really enjoyed learning why it might not have been! The unique thing about some of their wines is that they are aged in concrete--this gave it a distinct flavor profile that I was honestly delighted to know that I didn't like too much, and helped me to discover the types of wine that I do like. We came in over Thanksgiving weekend, when the trees had beautiful vivid colors, and the air was cold and crisp and skies were clear and blue--the perfect backdrop to a lovely wine-filled day seated outside in the garden here. read more

The grounds at Frog's Leap are quite lovely, unfortunately, I visited on a very rainy day. I quickly asked if we would be staying inside . I was told we would be walking around the facility and then tasting on the outdoor porch. I pointed out that I had signed up for a house tour and tasting and they said well. The porch was part of the house and it had heaters and blankets. There was a total of five in my group and we walked around the facilities with umbrellas. When we came back to the main house Every member asked if we could go inside and we were told no. We then asked them to turn on the heaters, there were four available. They turned on two of them. One person in our party went and got the blankets. Our host left for quite some time to get another bottle of wine when she came back we pointed out that the two heaters had stopped working. She told us because it had been a very slow day, They were closing early and had shut everything off. We were welcome to stay and finish the wine on the porch, but she would be leaving. This was not 4:30 in the afternoon. Our tasting was at 1:30. I have been visiting Napa Valley for the month of November for the past 20 years. I have never had a worse experience than this. read more
