    Absolutely stunning location. Super friendly staff. Maddy was great for our tasting and tour. So friendly and knowledgeable! Incredible experience.

    Went to 4 wineries for tastings during a family trip to Napa. Joseph Cellars was by far the best. Exceptional service from our tour guide, Timmy. We got to tour the cave as well as conduct our tasting experience inside of it. Timmy gave incredible descriptions of notes we should have tasted in each wine. The small bites provided accented each wine beautifully. Thank you for the incredible service and hospitality, Timmy. The property itself is so beautiful and welcoming. We highly recommend a tasting/tour here!

    This is a must do winery while in Calistoga. Marie is the best. Ask for her for your tour you won't be disappointed. FABULOUS FABULOUS FABULOUS

    Such an amazing wine spot. Marie was amazing. Would give more stars if I could. The cave was beautiful and cool. The experience of the employees made the experience.

    This is a belated review of Joseph Cellars Winery in Calistoga, where I had a reservation for my group of 15 girlfriends for a 40th milestone birthday in Napa. For my milestone birthday I was looking for a boutique winery that had cave tours. Joseph Cellars not only had a beautiful rustic winery and grounds, they had a large cave where their wines were made and stored. And my group got a private tour of the cave! When my group arrived, we were seated in the library past the main tasting room. The library had sofas and chairs, plenty of space for 15. The gentleman who hosted our group was welcoming and a great story teller. He pointed the wines from the tasting menu, took group photos, and gave us a lovely tour of Joseph Cellar's cafes. Sadly, I can't remember his name but he was great! After the cave tour my group had down time to hang out, talk, and drink more wine in the library. I loved the private setting. Thank you Joseph Cellars Winery team and our host for welcoming and accommodating my group of 15 for a milestone birthday! I am so grateful they welcomed our group; as many wineries in Napa Valley are still not accommodating larger groups in the pandemic. Highly recommend if you are looking to book a large group for wine tasting and cave tours at a gorgeous boutique winery in Calistoga!

    The most relaxing tasting experience.  Wine was wonderful and the views were beautiful! Definitely coming back

    This has been our favorite winery we visited so far! The wine and food pairings were all outstanding and the cave is magnificent. I loved every wine and loved how they gave each person a detailed sheet of the wine and it's food pairing, but had a space for notes so we could record our thoughts for each pairing. Beautiful space. Ended up buying a few bottles of wine to take home too. They have a sweet cellar cat who is so friendly.

    A Calistoga Must! Joseph's Winery was one of the most unique and excellent wine tastings we've had! The vineyard is so welcoming- a true family operation. The wines are amazing and the tasting rooms and cave are stunning. Keagan, our host (also the operations manager) really made our group feel like VIP's, as did the owner, Joe and his beautiful wife and children. The wine was exceptional (that might explain the case I bought and why I joined the club) as was their hospitality. Our group was a little naughty towards the end (a little on the loud side), but we were never rushed out. Fun tips- Book a cave tour- so fun! Try Yoga and Bubbles on Sunday mornings @ 9. $20 with the class + champagne after or COMPLIMENTARY if you're a club member. The bonus is the wine cats that wonder by as your doing yoga poses. The custom cheese here is amazing!!!

    At Joseph Cellars with Joe!!  Fantastic tasting wines and had a great time learning about this true Family business.

    I couldn't believe that I joined a wine club, however after tasting the wines at Joseph Cellars Winery - I was hooked. In fact, there was another couple with VGP and I on this trip and we both joined the club. We had tastings of quite a few wines and even had a barrel tasting. There was only one wine that I truly did not like the taste of (interestingly enough this was Joe's personal favorite). The delivery of my wine has since arrived and I've opened one bottle - a 2012 Chardonnay and it was as tasty here as it was when visiting the winery. Joe calls this boat wine - I liked his take on 'neighbor wine' as well. I bought two late wines and can't wait to open those up! The experience of meeting Joe and Hannah was fantastic. I think I teared up when Joe shared a personal story of when his dream of owning a winery came true. We are already planning on going back to Napa in September and we will be sure to stop in to Joseph Cellars again.

    Wonderful little winery with good wines. Make sure you make reservations for tastings as it is required and well worth it! I will be bringing friends to this spot for tastings and the view.

Romeo holds a special place in our hearts because we visited them a little over seven years ago. During that experience (which you can read about in my previous review - if interested), my wife and I had a grand experience with former Business Manager Emma, who administered the delicious tastings. Fast forward to the present, we looked forward to enjoying a glass of their finest red before finding lunch. Upon entering the walkway, we were enthusiastically greeted by an employee named John who quickly ushered us to a vacant table for two. My wife had a slight reaction to the beautiful flowers that were in full bloom. Out of the kindness of his heart, John provided my wife with a bottle of Pure Leaf tea that calmed her allergies. We told John that we were interested in enjoying a glass of red, in which he quickly ran off and returned with a bottle of 2009 Eugenia Cabernet Sauvignon. Upon doing the swirl and sniff test (sounds dirty doesn't it?), I knew that we were in for a treat. Since we were both in dire need of a meal, we sadly could not continue the party. However, we will make a return visit in the near future to enjoy a full tasting experience!

The wineries were amazing. The people were amazing, but without question the best of all was when we met our guide at Schramsburg winery and Vineyard named Jeff.

Whether you love sparkling wine, red wine, or wine in general, this is an experience you shouldn't miss. The historic caves were unlike anything we've ever seen, and walking through them while learning about their history made the visit even more special. Our guide, Francesca, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate. She made the tour engaging and memorable, and we're so glad we had the opportunity to experience it with her. We enjoyed it so much that throughout the rest of our trip in Napa, we made a point of telling other visitors to make time for Schramsberg. We would absolutely recommend this experience to any friends or family visiting the area. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday, and we'll definitely be back!

Beautiful back patio deck views and barrel room. The madrigal family has been caring for the land for decades makes killer wine. Update: Sad to hear madrigal is CLOSED recently sold June 2024. Sign is down. Per the north bay business journal (Jul 10, 2024) quote: "The deal, completed June 21, includes 8 acres of planted vines, the winery, appointment-only tasting room, a garden and a small home, but founder Chris Madrigal retains the namesake brand, according to Hundred Acre. Madrigal did not respond to inquiries on the future of the brand. Madrigal's father, Jess, also founder of Madrigal Vineyard Management, retained 40 acres of vines, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The purchase price and other terms of the deal weren't disclosed. The Madrigal grape and wine family came to Napa Valley with Jacinto Madrigal from Mexico in 1938. Jess Madrigal started the vineyard company in the mid-1980s, farming about 800 acres of vines. Chris Madrigal started the winery in 1995, and it was producing about 10,000 cases annually."
