We made an apt to visit Honig and when we arrived they had a "welcome" sign just for us and gave us just the right amount of attention. There was only one other couple there at that time, yet we didn't get overwhelmed by the staff. They had the right balance of providing input and leaving us alone to enjoy our wine. They also recommended other wineries based on our tastes, which was classy. read more

I visited Honig because my friend had high recommendations for the winery and I was happy that I did. I made a reservation on Yelp and on the day that I arrived, I was greeted and escorted to a seating section in the back. On the table next to the chairs, there was a cute chalkboard with my name on it. I really enjoyed the wine Honig offered in the wine tasting flight. For each of the wines, our host explained its background, its flavor profile, and what to look for as we tasted it. I appreciate that we never felt like we were rushed to finish our current glass to go to the next wine on the list. Additionally, unlike a lot of the major wineries in the area, it never felt like we were being pressured to buy wine to go. If you're looking for a cozy wine tasting experience, I would highly recommend Honig. read more

We just recently visited Honig on a cold Monday morning being the only party outdoors. There were six of us and we really enjoyed the tent, the chandelier and wine. Most of us opted for a classic tasting at $30 per person. We thoroughly enjoyed the wines and purchased just shy of a full case, with an additional two bottles to take for lunch. They also offer picnic tables that are available on a first come first serve basis that overlook lovely vines. Honig is a family run establishment and it definitely shows in the care that they take with their guests. read more

Honig Vineyard & Winery - Chandelier outside - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Rutherford, California

Wine Tasting with 2 of my friends, on a Saturday... first stop is Honig. This winery was highly recommended to one of my friends and we immediately made the call to book it. We could not have been happier we did. We did the first tasting of the day, right when they opened at 10am. We walked in the door and all the staff was ready for guests, smiling and immediately showed us to our table, with our name on it, and glasses ready to start the tasting. We had a menu of 4 wines to taste, a white, 2 reds, and a dessert wine. With each tasting, David (our wine tasting guide) would tell us about the wine, what to pair it with, and answered all questions we had. He was so personable, funny, great with recommendations of both, the wine and things to do in the area, after the wineries were closed. We had the opportunity to do a side by side comparison with the 2012 Cabernet they had for the tasting, against the same wine but from 2008. I love when they do these side by side tastings. Makes you appreciate and learn the process of the wine, aging, and what difference the climate, grapes, etc. can make in a wine. The atmosphere here is very casual and at the same time romantic. The outside seating for the tasting is very welcoming and relaxed. The staff sits with you while you're doing the tasting. They make you feel comfortable asking questions, saying what you taste in each wine and what you think of them. They will even pour more of the ones you like, without you even asking. They are there to make sure you enjoy the experience and the wine and they are genuinely happy to do so. At the end, I was: 1. Very happy for those generous wine pours (I was cold and by the second glass I had completely forgotten about getting my jacket in the car) :p 2. Grateful to have had such a fun and knowledgeable wine guide 3. Incredibly impressed with their dessert wine. I hardly ever like any sweet wines but their Sauvignon Blanc Late Harvest is excellent. Liked it so much, I bought a bottle. 4. In love with their 2008 Cab. So smooth, yet big on flavor 5. Excited for the rest of our wine tasting day. This was the perfect start to our day. If you are planning a Napa wine tasting tour, make sure you book a tasting at Honig. I assure you, the wine, and the experience will not disappoint. This is one I would go back to any chance I get. When people care and are proud of what they do it shows, Honig is a clear and perfect example of it. David, and Honig, thank you for making our Napa experience so memorable. read more

You can tell this vineyard values its staff. At the entrance there is a 4x6 portrait of each employee. That warmed the cockles of my heart, and so did their wine. One of those employees (whose name escapes me) served me 4 samples plus a bonus from the $20 class tasting flight. The bonus wine (2010 Cabernet Sauvignon - Campbell Vineyard) was delicious, as in $110/bottle delicious. Perhaps my favorite, though, was the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc Late Harvest dessert wine ($70). Overall, the staff was very friendly and took their time to explain each wine. They even went out of their way to make suggestions as to how to get all the wine I wanted to buy back to Jersey safe and sound. Of the 500+ vineyard choices you have, this one is worth a visit, however I can only speak for the stand-up tasting room and not the sit-down courtyard experience. read more

Honig is a marvelous spot to unwind and relax. I first discovered it while scouting out locations for wild mustard photography. One of the guys at the tasting room (since gone) invited me to tramp around out back to my heart's content. Following that, he gave me advice as to where to snag some inexpensive and satisfying Mexican lunchables (Luna Market - just up the road) and when I got back there he supplied me with a VERY generous pour of Cabernet to go with it. Hard to get a bad impression from that, eh? Since then we've been up scads of time. They've got a great outdoor patio that's shaded by a multiplicity of trees. If you want outside but w/o sun - no probs. But if you want inside, that's there as well. Comfy sofa and chairs. Those doing the pouring all know their stuff and will regale you with tales of terroir and fruit, and of sustainability and solar power. Blue bird nesting boxes along the vines and local raptors keep the pests down naturally. Honig concentrates on two varieties - Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Both come in a basic and deluxe version. With some extra deluxe special Cabs as well. And let's NOT forget their late harvest SB. This is my favorite late harvest of all the CA late harvests I've sampled. Rich, huge mouthfeel, tropical fruits bursting out all over. Just super. Don't come just to drink and dash - come to sip and relax. read more

I loved this place! What a wonderful experience. I had just discovered Honig a week prior to my trip! I called quickly and scheduled a tasting to make sure I visited while in Napa. Driving in you feel like you must have taken a wrong turn because it's not easily seen right off the highway. In the middle of nowhere it seems. The tasting room is really pretty. They treated us like long time friends. The tasting was very casual. We mostly sat on a sofa like you would at a friend's house and also casually strolled around. We sat inside but they do provide sitting outside too. We were excited to learn that the grounds use to belong to the Caymus family. Aha! That must have something to do with why we love it! They are also environmentally conscious and practice sustainable farming. I am glad we found them and will definitely go back when in town. read more

First impression of this winery weren't the best. Trying to a do walk in appointment but was told they had no availability but at the same time I was online and say they had something. So whatever I decided just to book the appointment online and not make a big deal and then once online I noticed the $10 fee for non drinkers as many reviews have mentioned. My friend said she would pay since it was for her husband but I just thought it was weird to charge someone for not drinking. Our wine host was nice and knowledgeable and the wines were tasty, that's why I give the 3 stars. read more

My colleagues and I were in desperate need of a drink after a stressful morning, so we opened a bottle of Honig Sauvignon Blanc in the office. We instantly feel in love with the sweet, citrusy flavors. I glanced at the label and was thrilled to discover that the winery was actually located in the Napa Valley, where I had plans to visit in the coming weeks. Upon arrival at our hotel, I inquired about the vineyard with our concierge, who reassured me that Honig was only a short drive away. The small winery was less flashy than most, but their efforts were more focused on deliciously crisp wine production done with care. The rustic tasting room was rather delightful, but enjoying the sunshine on the outdoor patio made for an even more enjoyable afternoon. The bartenders were interesting and friendly; they were willing to spend as much time with us as we would give them. We tasted about six fabulous wines that were all rather affordable. I contemplated joining their wine club, but instead wound up purchasing their exclusive, most expensive bottle of $75 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon. Though I typically opt for wines that are between $10-$25, this varietal was well worth the splurge. Honig offered a more casual and home-style feel than any of the other vineyards that we visited. Even without a tour of the grounds, we felt like we had been welcomed with open arms. read more

Looking for a winery to round off our Afternoon tasting I called to see if they had any available appointments as I had heard that their tastings were by appointment only. Although it was a Friday afternoon they were able to fit us. Greater and seated outdoors we were soon greeted by Liz who was our host. She was very pleasant and Mark C and I enjoyed speaking with her as we tried their wines. Honig is a large production winery but their tasting gave us that small boutique winery tasting feel that we have missed at some of the large wineries we have visited in Napa. Started with Sauvignon Blanc which was crispy and refreshing and as we sat among the vines Liz was able to give us some history of the winery. Loved the fact that they are a sustainable winery AND one of the first wineries in CA that uses solar energy to power the winery and they reduce truck traffic by consolidating shipments. We also tried three other reds and surprisingly I lived a pink Canernet Savauigoun... Don't laugh until you try it. All and all we spent a lovely time at Honig. If you have the opportunity and are able to get an appointment stop by and check them out. read more

Honig Vineyard & Winery - Tasting menu - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Rutherford, California

Made a reservation and this winery was easy to find with ample parking. They have a big tent set up for outdoor tasting with tables generous spread apart. They had our names written on a small chalkboard. The server was very knowledgable about the wines and served them at a reasonable pace. Wines were good and they even provided sparkling water to the DDs and crackers for palate cleaning. The negative is even if you don't drink, there is a $10 surcharge. Overall, the wines and service were good. read more

Our wine tasting experience was nothing short of excellent. We came in early July and this was our last stop of the trip, but definitely our favorite. The wine experts take the time to educate their customers on the Honig story and what makes their Sauvignon Blanc the best in the valley (and I can attest to that). Not to mention, they put their money where their mouth is by running a sustainable, eco-friendly, solar powered winery & vineyard. Very pleasant experience, will be back for sure. read more

Honig Vineyard & Winery - 2019 Sauvignon Blanc - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Rutherford, California

Upon arrival, we were put off by the $20 per person tasting fee. A bit steep compared to other wineries. But they sure know great customer service and how to reel you in! David Cruz, our host, "took care" of us - party of 8. A few of us ended up buying bottles anyway so it worked out. One of us mentioned we liked the little glass bees they had in the women's bathroom and he gave us a bag of those before we left. Wow! Bomb host! Guess that's why his card says the Bomb from Guam. The wines were all crisp and light. The place was nice with the outdoor patio right next to the vineyard. A bit more relaxing and private than other wineries. The staff puts in the extra effort to make it a welcoming experience. Very cute little spot. read more

Honig Vineyard & Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Rutherford, California

Honig is a relaxing, unpretentious, beautiful vineyard well worth the visit. We booked the last seating for a tasting at 4:30 which also coincided with the last vineyard visit of our Napa portion of our trip. We were greeted with a welcome sign on our table on the patio just outside their font doors and were received by a wonderful host/server named Marisol. If you have the weather and opportunity to sit outdoors, I highly recommend it. The vineyard and mountains make a beautiful ambiance to taste their amazing wines. We also had the opportunity to meet Michael Honig! He was so kind and down to earth, he even remembered meeting my friends & I which was with over 6 years ago now in Chicago. He stayed to chat with us for a few minutes and it was the icing on the cake and was definitely an unexpected (fan girl) moment. Lucky for us, Marisol stayed and ended up being our server for the entirety of evening - she was fabulous! We ended up moving inside to a semi-private living room style area as it gets quite chilly once the sunsets and continued our tasting in their beautiful indoor tasting area. I could have stayed here for hours! If Honig is not on your must visit list. You better add it! read more

I made an effortless reservation for a tasting for two at Honig through Yelp. It was easy to get a spot at 2 pm on a Saturday during a holiday weekend (reservations are required for a tasting). When we arrived the winery was almost in complete chaos. The weather was nice and sunny so the outdoor tables were packed. It was a little unclear where we were supposed to check in for our appointment as every employee we encountered was busy assisting other customers. They didn't greet us, but we finally waited our turn at the checkout registers until someone helped us. The hostess was eager to get us outside at "a nice table," but my hubby has a history of skin cancer and can't be out in the sun so we asked if we could sit indoors instead. We were cheerfully and quickly accommodated to a plush couch inside. I was surprised that none of the outdoor tasting tables had any sort of shade covering, making it unpleasant for people who can't stand direct sunlight. Soon our lovely hosted tasting began! Tasting fees cost $30 per person and included 5 wines (4 on the menu and one bonus pour). We tried a delicious Sauvignon Blanc ($30), the 2014 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon ($50), the 2013 Bartoucci Vineyard Cab ($100), a single vineyard Oakville Cab ($105), finishing up with a sweet dessert wine, the 2015 Cabernet Dulce ($75). Our hostess was acting very sly and worried about pouring us a splash of the Oakville Cab since it was reserved for those doing the more expensive Reserve tasting, but she recognized our palates and thought we'd love it -- and she was correct. Wineries need to be more accommodating to customers that love wine because they're missing out on sales if they refuse to pour "the good stuff" for folks. I mean, if she hadn't poured that wine, I wouldn't have joined the wine club on this, my very first visit! My love for the winery all came down to that ONE wine that we weren't even supposed to get a taste of. The Wine Club is a great deal because it isn't a huge nor expensive commitment and you get a fantastic 15% discount on purchases as well as your tasting fees waived on the spot. Since we purchased two bottles of the Oakville Cab and two bottles of the 2014 Napa Cab, the discount alone made sense (and we got our expensive $60 in tasting fees waived). They also threw in a set of their adorable honeybee logo wine glasses (I couldn't get them home on the plane so I had to leave them but I hope someone cool picked 'em up at the airport) and a free Honig hat. I was surprised at how much I loved a couple of the wines here. I didn't like all of the wines mind you, but the Oakville Cab absolutely blew me away. The Napa Cab was good too, especially for the very affordable price point. We ended up taking one of the the Napa Cabs to dinner at the Rutherford Grill that evening and it was even better than I remembered from earlier in the day. I very much enjoyed my tasting here and although the winery was packed, we weren't rushed in the least and we weren't ignored either. We had very good service from a friendly hostess and I felt so welcome during our entire visit. I'll be visiting again in May as a club member and can't wait to see what that will be like because I have a feeling Honig will roll out the red carpet for their members. Another huge plus is the fact that Honig has gender neutral restrooms, showing a fantastic and modern sensibility. I have two transgender friends so I'm very sensitive to their needs, and by having a gender neutral restroom the winery ensures that everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Kudos to that! Overall, this was a great experience in a casual setting with delicious wines. You can't ask for more than that in the Napa Valley. read more

I've been a fan of Honig for many years - way before their current tasting room setup. Reservations can be made online. For my most recent visit, we showed up to our 10:15 am appointment and we saw a nice sign that said, "Welcome to Honig! Silva Party!" That was a nice touch, and we had a very pleasant server who took very good care of us. Fortunately, Honig has kept the same winemaker and their wines have been consistent. They are especially known for their flagship wine, an entry-level Sauvignon Blanc. Their Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is also a solid wine at an attractive price point. If you like white dessert wines, the Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc is spectacular. Their reserve wines are respectable, but a considerable jump in price per bottle. New visitors to the winery should stick to the basic Classic Experience. The tasting room and seating arrangements for tastings is tastefully done in a relaxed setting. I will definitely be returning in the future. read more

Yet another five star review for Honig. We are still wine club members, and if they continue to produce solid wines at decent prices, we will continue to be very loyal members. We bring their wine to parties, we tell all our family and friends that they MUST stop here if they visit Napa, and we also stop here on EVERY trip to Napa. EVERY trip. Honig also is smart to hire very good people for their tasting room staff. We love Dave, and all others that we have met through the wine tasting room are great as well. Since we joined their wine club years back, their wines have never disappointed. When our son gets older, we look forward to participating in more wine-club events, but for now we're happy drinking - especially drinking the Napa Valley and Bartalucci Vineyards bottles. read more

My boyfriend and I did a lil wine tour for his birthday weekend and we both whole heartedly agreed that Honig was the highlight of that tour! Not only was the wine delicious, the gent who helped our table (we never got his name :c) was knowledgeable and super friendly and down to earth. Very relaxed and not snobby at al--win! We whole heartedly enjoy our time here that we have already recommended Honig to our friends who will be visiting Napa soon! And we even bought a bottle (wishing we bought more tbh). We will definitely return here and we highly recommend! :) read more

If you like dessert wine (I don't, but was converted!) then this is a must do in Napa Valley. This winery has low key vibes but is naturally beautiful and the wine is solid, I especially loved their reserve Sauvignon Blanc! There is also a great picnic area to the side so this is a good stop for lunch. Only star loss is for not waiving any tasting fees with a large purchase, we left with 5 bottles and were still stuck with the fee. read more

It was absolutely wonderful. Sitting outside on a beautiful sunny day drinking great wine. It doesn't get any better then that.

000000000 stars. They deserve 0 stars, they treat you like you're garbage here. You know when people say "snooty" winery's this is the winery they're talking about. They need to send their employees to a hospitality school and learn some manners. I've never been treated like this in my life, we arrived and immediately was treated like we was invisible. I came hundreds of miles to try your wine, no wonder all of your tables were empty. Enjoy! read more

This was a delightful wine tasting, definitely one of my favorites. I loved that we were guided through the wines with an explanation for each pour- it felt personal and intentional. And the outdoor patio is dreamy with flowers, nearby vineyards, and a lovely breeze. I'm particularly grateful that they're dog-friendly so all of us felt welcomed and comfortable. This is definitely a spot to bring friends, family, or a date. We would love to return next time we're in town. Absolutely recommend! read more

This was our second stop of the day and wow, what a great time. John met us and got the ball rolling quick....or rather got the bottles pouring quick. We sat outside because it was just too damn beautiful to be anywhere else. This place has a nice laid back atmosphere and some truly beautiful wines. We settled on a unique white that was very very good and even ordered a case to send back home. Everyone here was a pleasure. Yes they have great wine and beautiful scenery but if you have folks who don't LOVE what they do, it can all go sour rather quickly. John loves it all and it shows.... John was truly entertaining, informative and engaging all at once. If you can get him as your "tour guide", consider yourself lucky. This place has some great Cabernet as well and I managed to secure myself a good bottle before it's all sold out! Can't say enough about the experience here. Yes there are some "big boys" all around them but don't miss this spot. Experience is what you're after, not labels. read more

We went here for a girls trip last weekend and had so much fun! It was the perfect combination of good wine and casual environment / nice people .

One of the stops on our 13 winery blitzkrieg thru the Napa Valley was Honig Vineyard & Winery. As soon as we were greeted by Casey we knew there was something special about Honig. He took us to see the vines and we learned about the birds & bees ...... and bats and dogs that assist them to grow grapes in the most pest free organic manner. We toured their modern processing areas and saw their tanks and barrel aging facility. Casey took us to an impressive hospitality room with a deck and a great view of the vineyards. They had a reserve tasting set up for us. We learned the different appellations, and about the families who grew the grapes and got to taste the results. The wonderful reds were perfectly paired with some delicious food samplings. We were then joined by one of the owners, the stunningly beautiful, Stephanie Honig who took the time to talk to us. It became apparent to me what makes Honig Vineyard & Winery special. From their great wine, to their leadership in sustainable growing practices, to their love of family, to their fun employees to the way they treat their customers and guests like VIPs. The Honig's care. I highly recommend that you visit Honig Vineyard & Winery and taste and enjoy their wine. read more

My favorite winery out of the 4 we visited last weekend! At $10 (waived if you buy a bottle), Honig was not only the cheapest, but also the most friendly and personable of all the wineries. You won't find a tasting bar here, just nice tables in a gorgeous and relaxing setting for everyone to sit at. They bring out the tastings restaurant-style, where the waiters come out to pour for everyone, talk for a bit, and then leave us to enjoy each other's company and the wine. Their wines are simple, as they don't have a very large variety, but their dessert wine was our group's favorite out of all the dessert wines we had that day. I don't want to repeat what all the other Yelpers are saying about David, but I have to put in at least one line commending him on his wonderful service. He was the most personal and most friendly host I've had wine-tasting thus far. Thanks, David! read more

Our last stop in Napa, and it was perfect - a nice quiet sit down just to enjoy the trees around us and 4 last wines (well except for the ones we brought to dinner lol). We arrived to find our table ready and waiting for us :) $20 for 4 wines - a white, 2 reds and a dessert. And both of our servers did a great job educating us on the wines and also getting waters for those in the group who were not partaking in the tasting (quitters lol). Quite a cute little store inside and I ended up picking up a few gifts for friends back home :) I'd highly suggest Honig as a place to either start your day or wind down for the afternoon, lots of the other guests were going straight from Honig to dinner. PS - They have an electric car charger. PPS - Was able to make my tasting reservations via Yelp's Seat Me app. Very convenient. read more

I had my favorite tasting experience ever at Honig. It's now on my must-visit list and I've already recommended it to several people. I made reservations in advance online, so when we pulled up we saw a table with my name written on a small chalkboard at a table. The tasting was outdoors but in the shade and the tables weren't crammed together like at other wineries. Tastings are inexpensive at $10. What made our visit so special was our pourer, David. He was totally down to earth, funny, and knowledgeable. I hate going to tastings that feel so pretentious and uncomfortable. This was nothing like that. I also appreciated the extra pours of our favorites at the end and a recommendation for Mexican food nearby. Thanks, David! read more

This is a review that's well over pas due! When I first started drinking wine my husband and I went on a tour and their wine was one of my favorites! I love their selections! Before I moved to SoCal I made sure to stalk up on many different bottles! They gave me and my friend complementary tastings after we purchased many bottles. I ended up tasting some others and had to get more! I say service well done! Their service is very friendly as well, which is a major plus! I'm already running low! I'll be stalking up again when I go for a visit! read more

Skip this one. Mediocre wine, shady business practices, non-refundable tastings even if you're sick (you'd rather make a few extra bucks than protect your other guests from getting Covid?), poor service. Too many excellent wineries in the area to waste time and money here. read more

Honig Winery is breath taking. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing and the wine is delightful. The best part of my and my daughter in law's afternoon there was our host, Mary Montgomery. Not only was Ms. Montgomery extremely knowledgeable about the wine, it's origin, grapes used to make wine, Napa Valley and a whole lot of history around wine....she was welcoming, energetic and friendly. She made our experience at Hoing Winery 10x's better. I will definitely be going back. read more

I don't know why this winery appears on a lot of family friendly lists. In my opinion they are anti-kid. they charge $10 a kid just to be on the premises. No tour, just to be there with me while I do a wine tasting. They give you a packet of goldfish and a juice box to lessen the blow but imo go somewhere else if you have kids. Plenty of wineries that allow children that don't charge you for their presence. My son is only 18 months, I was told it doesn't matter even if a baby is 1 month old they still charge $10. Anti-kid. So don't let that be a reason to visit. read more

Visited Honig with the family in July. The tasting area is set under some wonderful sycamores. There was a nice breeze, and the sun and shade together made it a great place! The wine was fantastic! We enjoyed each selection on our menu. We bought a yummy Cabernet from the Rutherford region. The staff was super friendly. We enjoyed our service from Mary. She told us all about the region and the "Rutherford Dust," which apparently makes super wine ;). She was great with our daughters as well. She had fun things for them to do, and took the time to answer their questions about the vineyard. The vineyard tour was nice. would have loved to see the production center, but they had an event going on there. Mary answered all my technical questions about the vineyard. Honig emphasizes organic growing. This winery is in the top 3 for the Napa area for me. We will return. read more

This was a nice winery and I really enjoyed my experience here. It's quaint and comfortable and didn't have the crowds other wineries can have. We experienced a nice wine tasting, which included some incredible and unique-tasting wines. Their 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon was fantastic with great depth in flavor and even had a buttery finish, which was very different from most Cabs. Honig has something for all tastes and their wines definitely have unique flavors that will be interesting to the palate. The outside patio was amazing on a nice and sunny day. The person who helped us was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. This is reservation only so plan ahead! read more

One of my all time favorite wineries. My wife went to culinary school up in St. Helena, so we got to try our fair share out there. I love that this is a more personal place, with very nice, courteous hosts, who feel more like buddies sharing conversation with you than stuffy wine connoisseurs pouring you a sip. Not only is their staff up-front great, but even Michael Honig seems down-to-earth and has come by from time-to-time. And their winemaker, Kristin, has autographed bottles going out occasionally. And no, I don't know either personally-- they're just cool like that. Their cabs are fantastic. Dessert lovers will enjoy their Late Harvest. They have honed these to perfection. I'm part of their wine club now and absolutely love their crazy personality; the post-cards are artsy and make everyone laugh. Big shout out to Dave, who never skimped on my glass. Ever. Bottom line, there are many reasons to love them. And even if you're there strictly for the wine too, you will not be disappointed. read more

Very quaint garden-like setting with a modern, but rustic tasting room. I was impressed by the older cabernet sauvignon vintages. Some factoids: -Honig is 'honey' in German, check out the honey bees in the bathrooms. -Crushing grapes since 1980, tasting room's birth, 4 yrs ago. -Founder was a CSU Sacto drop out. read more

Although we were told by the proprietor of the B&B we were staying at that we definitely needed reservations to wine taste here, we decided to take a chance and see if they could find a spot for 2 and we were pleasantly surprised by their warm welcoming acceptance This is my husbands favorite "find" in wines and we were over the top excited to be here. Our presenter David was so knowledgeable as he graced us with an additional 2 wines to taste. We became club members without a hesitation. Best "cab" in Napa read more
