    We had a Saturday afternoon reservation to do a tasting for two at J Moss. This was our second stop on our black-owned winery adventure, and it was a great experience. We were warmly greeted; first by other guests, then by the owner and his wife, and finally with a personalized tasting menu that had our names printed on it. It was an excellent tasting experience, and we were given a plate of different crackers, breads, nuts, and brownie brittle to use when tasting the different wines. After tasting, we were invited back into the production area where Mr. Moss explained his process and showed us one of the wine cellars . He is very open about his process of getting into winemaking and sharing the lessons he's learned along the way. He also was willing to give us some suggestions for good places to eat in the area. An interesting fact we learned is that in Napa wineries must own 10 continuous acres in order for their tasting room to also be on their property. This is why the J Moss tasting room is not on the land where they grow the grapes. However, Mr. Moss is a smart businessman; he owns and operates every part of his own production process.

    Customized pamphlet so sweet!

    My husband took me here for our anniversary. We had the option of sitting outside in the gorgeous courtyard or inside with ac and tv. They had a customized booklet with our names wishing us a happy anniversary. I thought that were such a sweet special touch. We were even brought complimentary nuts and crackers. I LOVED the wines We bought 3 bottles. James was very informative, kind and showed such great hospitality. It felt like I was visiting a family member that happened to be a sommelier. I can't wait to return with friends and family!

    Definitely go see J Moss on your Napa trip. Service was exceptional, and wine was delicious. We squeezed in a tasting on a Saturday morning, and I am so glad we did. We got to meet the winemaker and enjoy details we wouldn't have gotten otherwise. I loved the 2016 cab and the red blend. They have been my favorite reds so far!

    Look how cute! They personalized their tasting booklet with my name.

    I signed up for a wine tasting the day before on their website and James was nice enough to call me back and schedule the tasting over the phone.The tastings are $35 per person and include at least 3+ wines and a tour of their production facility. James and Janet made the entire experience feel very welcoming and educational. Their wines are great and award winning. Because of Covid now, tastings are done outside on their patio area. In the future, I hope that their website booking is more seamless or they put their availability on CellarPass for people to book exclusively online.

    Absolutely love this place and can't wait to go back. Professional, informative and an all around great vibe! 10/10 recommend to those who prefer smaller intimate experiences. The owner was around and is also very kind and knowledgeable. The wines were great, and the staff is phenomenal and made sure we enjoyed our experience. Can't wait to go back!

    Mr. James, affectionately referred to as Uncle James, we had an amazing time! Thank you! Get the candles! They smell great. I'll be making my order soon, and I'll certainly be back.

The space is elegant and welcoming, making it perfect for either a group wine-tasting experience or a date night. We booked online for a party of two and chose the Legacy Tasting, along with the sweet and savory snack pairing. Every wine in the Legacy Collection was excellent. Each pour offered something different, and we enjoyed the entire lineup. The snack pairing was also well done and complemented the wines nicely. A special shoutout to Luke, who made the experience even better. He was knowledgeable, informative, and took the time to explain the wines without making the tasting feel rushed. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Great wine, great atmosphere, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area and in the mood for some wine.

    An Unforgettable Bouchaine Experience!…read more My three girlfriends and I had the most amazing tasting experience at Bouchaine Vineyards. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and truly special. Our wine educator, Rob Fischer, was absolutely wonderful. He was warm, knowledgeable, funny and genuinely passionate about Bouchaine. He shared the winery's rich history in such an engaging way and made our tasting feel personal rather than rehearsed. Rob was a huge part of what made our visit so memorable. We especially loved learning that Bouchaine is the oldest continuously operating winery in Carneros and sits along the southern edge of Napa Valley, overlooking the beautiful vineyards near San Pablo Bay. We were also impressed to learn about the remarkable women helping lead the winery: proprietor and president Tatiana Copeland and president and winemaker Chris Kajani. The setting is gorgeous. We relaxed on the beautiful patio, surrounded by vineyards, and enjoyed the peaceful Carneros scenery while tasting some exceptional wines. It feels tucked away from the busier parts of Napa Valley, which makes the experience even more special. Rob also told us about the new wine cave currently being built into the hillside. It sounds incredible, and we are already looking forward to returning when it is finished! Bouchaine offers everything you hope for in a Napa Valley tasting: excellent wine, fascinating history, beautiful surroundings and personal hospitality. Thank you, Rob, for making four girlfriends feel so special. We will definitely be back!

The entire experience was stellar, beginning with a welcome glass of Vin Gris, which counts as one of the five wines in the tasting. We settled into comfortable, spacious semicircular couches with panoramic views overlooking the vineyards, gardens, and mountains beyond. What truly elevated our visit was Dulce, our hostess, who has more than 20 years of wine experience. She described each wine with such knowledge and detail that we were able to choose wines we genuinely enjoyed. But it was more than expertise. She shared her knowledge and passion so freely and with such heart that she made the afternoon feel special. Dulce is truly a gift to Bouchaine. The hospitality began even before we arrived. When we realized we didn't need as much time between wineries, we called and asked whether we could move our 3:30 tasting to 2:30. They accommodated us with grace. We ended up staying more than 2 1/2 hours and never once felt hurried. I especially appreciated the generous spacing between the seating areas, which gave each group privacy and made the tasting feel peaceful rather than crowded. The grounds were lovely, with purple agapanthus and black-eyed Susans blooming against the vineyards and mountains. Even the modern wood architecture--from the tasting room and offices to the beautifully designed bathroom--made us feel as though we were somewhere thoughtfully created and genuinely special. Every member of the staff we encountered was warm and welcoming. Some wineries you visit once because you're curious to experience them. Bouchaine is the kind of place I would return to simply because of how wonderful it felt to be there. Although I would definitely be getting the Gewurztraminer, Merlot, and Pinot Noirs again too.

The small intimate setting, beautiful views, amazing wines at reasonable prices, and great cheese pairings made this place a stop to remember. I ended up buying a case and joining the wine club. They also waived our tasting fees with our bottle purchases (I think it's one tasting waived per two bottles but double check me on that). They also gave me a free (and quite sturdy and good quality) branded wine key, perhaps for joining the club. I also appreciated they gave us water bottles and allowed two of our guests (who were driving) to join us but not have to pay for the tasting. I wish more wineries allowed that to allow for safe and responsible tastings. Highly recommend and will definitely be back again! This by far will have to be a stop for us every time we come to Napa. Thank you Taylor Family Vineyards for a wonderful time!

This was the only winery we visited where every person in our group bought multiple bottles, a case or a membership to their wine club. All of us still get the email updates from the vineyard, and look forward to their spring release wines (specifically the Sauvignon Blanc & Rosé)! When I tell you every wine of theirs we tasted was amazing, I mean every single one! I've even received hand written cards every Christmas since we visited from the family. They truly made our experience so special. Their wine, their vineyard, their hospitality and the attention to detail made Taylor Family Vineyards our favorite winery to date. I can't wait to visit again!

My family and I came on a Saturday afternoon per the recommendation of the owners, who we met at a Tesla event. We didn't go to the vineyard itself, but the tasting room that they have in downtown Napa right along the river . We were greeted kindly and decided to settle on three tastings. My mind was blown by actually liking Rosè, a drink I usually am not a fan of! We started off with two white wines, followed by three various red blends, one of which we took a bottle home. They also have a neat membership program that is essentially of no cost per year as long as you buy a bottle a year (I believe there's some price minimum depending on the bottle). This also includes free tasting all year round for up to 6 people at a time. The wines were explained to us in great detail, and the guy explaining it to us (I wish I remembered his name, but he was great) entertained all our various questions as we are wine novices. Highly highly recommend !

    Metal Art In The Blackbird Vineyards Field Exhibition Area…read more SITREP I stopped by recently in the City of Napa to take in the very cool metal artwork in the Blackbird Vineyards Field Exhibition right off Oak Knoll Avenue. [Note: whereas the Storefront sales office is located in Yountville, this part of the vineyard borders on the City of Napa, hence the apparent discrepancy with this location address.] THE SETUP The large metal art includes: (1) a giant key, (2) a just-as-giant keyhole, (3) a giant segment of chain-link, and, (4) a giant metal gear! As I was explaining my docent, I found the choice of items - and the metal - to make this a very creative exhibition in the Spirit of Steampunking! METAL ART-SCULPTURE EXPRESSION! This is just some very fun artwork and a very creative use of vineyard space where as explained to me that the soil is just too fallow and workable and perhaps a bit too close to the roadaway. THE LOWDOWN A stop to view some pretty amazing metal art-sculptures.

My husband and I were able to call ahead and schedule a very last-minute tasting, and from the very beginning, the hospitality was exceptional. I work in the wine industry on the retail side in Texas, while my husband does not, so creating an experience that feels both educational and approachable for both of us is not always easy. Steve absolutely nailed it. He welcomed us warmly, shared thoughtful stories about the wines and the winery, and made the experience feel incredibly personal. The tasting room itself is beautiful and feels like a hidden gem in Napa. We especially loved learning about the wines and the woman winemaker behind Levendi. The tasting was stunning from start to finish. What truly sets Levendi apart, though, is the level of hospitality. Since our visit, I have referred many of my favorite clients to Levendi, and Steve consistently goes above and beyond for them. He bends over backwards to make sure my customers are taken care of, and every single person I've sent has come back raving about their experience. At this point, a trip to Napa would not feel complete without a stop at Levendi. I honestly cannot imagine Napa without Levendi -- or Steve. If it's your first visit, do yourself a favor and try the Stagecoach. You won't be sorry.
