Breanna is a great host. Small producer in Napa area with some interesting juice. Really enjoyed his "entry level" cab. Say that in quotes because it is $95 per bottle. But, it is good juice. Fun place to taste and the run to Gotts Roadside for a burger. read more

Not your typical Napa Winery AND that's probably why we liked it! Don't get me wrong, we like the nice places too, but sometimes you just want a relaxing FUN atmosphere without all the Wine Snobs and this is the place. We had lunch in downtown & decided to stay parked and explore, across from Oxbow Market, we stumbled upon Mark Harold & we both enjoyed Flux in previous purchases from wine stores, but never made it to the tasting room. Are we glad we did. We were taken care of by Mike, who was very knowledgeable about wines & once he found out what we liked, we tasted a few off the list. Love the Flux Red (affordable) & Brown Label (pricey). We'll be back for more! read more

Really fun place to visit... it was our last stop before heading to the airport so we had to rush a little bit, but next time we'll go back when we can taste at a less-hurried pace. My wife and I agreed that the 2011 Collide was our favorite - very drinkable red - but I also liked the 2009 Acha, which was heavy on the Tempranillo. It started with a bite but settled into a very mellow finish. The staff was great, and they played a good mix of 80s and 90s music while we were there. It was not the typical tasting room - everyone there wanted to have a good time and we appreciated their enthusiasm. read more

This is by far, the best, most exciting tasting room in Napa. First and foremost, the vibe of the place is awesome as are the people that work there. Fun, funky art graces the walls and they are very inviting, not stuffy and pretentious like so many others. Now about the wines. I am in love with everything they produce, and the prices are unbeatable in Napa or anywhere else! Elegant whites for $20. a Delicious Rose for $16 and big reds that can easily stand up to the fussiest of Napa Cab drinkers at only at $30. What's not to love! If you haven't been or are just looking for the perfect tasting room, I would def check out Wines by Mark Herold! read more

This place is like running into friends! Great wine, and we joined the wine club right away. Great atmosphere, and ambiance. They know their wines, but that it is still a drink to be enjoyed. I highly recommend, start your weekend here and end it here! read more

Mark Herold Wines - Wine menu! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Napa, California

Hands down the most fun tasting I've ever done, and living in Sonoma and being a huge wine nerd I've been to more tasting rooms than I care to admit. Mike and Dean are the most entertaining, passionate, and funny tasting room guys in Napa. The vibe is laid back, quirky, and irreverent. The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else, and guess what? The wines are killer and very reasonably priced. Light Spanish and Rhone whites that are totally porch, patio, and pool poundable, great red blends and tempranillo, and some absolutely delicious cabernet. They're conveniently right next to the Oxbow Market, making this a super easy lunch and tasting spot, right off downtown Napa. Tastings are $25 (waived with 3 bottle purchase per person) and are easily worth it. Add the "sexual chocolate" chocolate pairing for a party in your mouth. (psssst, industry folks... they have an industry wine club. I don't ever join wine clubs because it doesn't really make sense if you live here and work in the business. Join the industry club and you get some bonuses beyond the usual discount. And kick it with the rad tasting room crew when you pick up your shipments!) read more

Just hung out with Dean and the gang. Great atmosphere and experience. Felt like we discovered something unique. This is a must stop for locals and visitors alike. read more

Mark Herold Wines - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Napa, California

In our 4 days in Napa, this was the most fun we had at a tasting. We were recommended by Karen from the place we were staying, The Inn on Randolph. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and treated like one of them (you'll see when you meet these awesome people). We were recommended to try the wine and chocolate pairing. We loved all of the wines but fell in love with Collide! So good. Our bartender, Sonia (?) was hilarious and treated us to a wonderful time. We can't wait to go back! read more

There seriously aren't enough words to describe how terrible our experience with Mark Herold wines has been, except to say it's been the single worst experience as a customer I have ever had. The timeline is as follows: 1) May 2015. we had a fantastic experience in the tasting room. I buy my wife a wine subscription for Mother's Day. Immediately after, I update our address to our new home, in a new state. I double and triple check to make sure our new address is right because I've never subscribed to a wine club before and, as a SPED teacher, I'm not rolling in dough. 2) we do not receive our initial shipment before moving. We then do not receive our second shipment after moving. We contact Mark Herold wines and they say "it's fixed!" We await our wine. 3) august/September 2015. we do not get our wine. Turns out it's being sent to our old address, despite me having changed it. We call Herold wines and they say sorry, that they changed websites and theres no record of the new address. they give us some wine gratis, they ship it to our new address. Via email and via phone there are multiple comments I make about cancelling the subscription. The person helping me acknowledges that I want to cancel. 4) fall 2016. we are charged again. We say no thank you, I call and say I want a refund and a cancellation. We talk to someone who is unbelievably unhelpful, refusing to accept us saying we want to cancel over the phone and saying there's no way we're getting our money back. She says we have to cancel via email. We refuse the wine shipment. 5) I send a very lengthy email via their website customer service page outlining how upset we are and how horribly we've been treated. I say very explicitly id like to cancel the subscription and that we deserve our money back. 6) today, 2/3/17 we receive notice that WE ARE BEING BILLED FOR A NEW SHIPMENT. I plan on calling the Napa chamber of commerce, city hall, whoever I can talk to about how completely horrible our experience with Mark Herold wines has been. There is absolutely no excuse for how hard it has been to cancel a subscription. I hope whoever manages their yelp account gets this and can help make things right. read more

We still love Mark Herrold. Their wines are absolutely incredible. We joined the wine club. I do have to say that it seems there has been a sea change in hiring. Losing Eric seems to have been a real loss for the tasting room. You can tell by the reviews. To be honest, we joined because we love the wine and we loved the quirky personalities when we first started coming in when the tasting room first opened. I'd definitely try to get those quirky yet refined personalities back in there! We went to the reserve room and really liked the woman running that side! I'm blanking on her name, but she was awesome. We went this past April. @Mark I hope you see my feedback! read more

Horrible place . Brought wife and kids in there. Met a worker named Tim who cussed like an ignoramus. He was asked to stop cussing so much. He even had the audacity to tell me that is what they pay him for. What an idiot! We left without paying. As a local I would never recommend this place . Too many nice places to go in Napa to ever go to this hole. Will never go back!!!! read more

Fun friendly place with delicious reasonably priced wines. If you love Napa Cabs. Don't miss this tasting room. Monica, Breanna, Carol, Rob and Joey are all great!!!! read more

From beginning to to end we thoroughly enjoy our tasting experience. We are folks who come to Napa quite often and are particular about where we spend our time. We were professionally greeted and the tasting started promptly. Being familiar with many different varietals we were excited to see we could taste the Cabs Mark is known for but also some other non traditional Napa wines. We get that our host knew the back story of the brand and was fully versed in the wines themselves. We weren't the only folks in the tasting room and our host was able to juggle our party and another. She kept track of where everyone in our party was in the progression. We ended up buying wine and joining the club. We will be back and will definitely recommend this tasting room to friends and colleagues. read more

Don't miss this spot! This tasting room offers something that is so unique and contemporary among a lot of tasting rooms and vineyards that are steeped in tradition. The atmosphere is fun and almost "hipster"--definitely a breathe of fresh air into wine country that is largely dominated by more traditional wine makers. My husband and I enjoyed the wine tasting along with the "sexy time" chocolate tasting. Dean was AMAZING and when I shied away from the chocolate tasting, he offered to comp the wine tasting in lieu of the chocolate tasting. We loved it, and this totally elevated our experience to a new level. I definitely see this tasting room as the place for younger and new wine lovers. Their product is high quality, yet it does not feel the need to conform to the expected styles of wine. You will be surprised and impressed by unique and delicious blends. This tasting room will certainly add a new dimension to the Napa experience. read more

Eric with a "c", from Virginia Beach, is just about the most awesome person ever. He will walk you through the wines you like & give you the best feedback about it! Shoutout to Blake, too! This is a wonderful, late-afternoon tasting bar that is not to be missed! read more

First, the wines are SPECTACULAR! Eric gave an amazing tasting....taking us on a virtual tour through Mark Herold's legendary wines. Super fun and playful environment!! Everyone incredibly knowledgeable and generous. Looking for a fabulous tasting...great wines...great people....head to Herold's Wines in Napa NOW!! read more

This is probably one of the coolest tasting rooms in Napa. The quirky, industrial chic motif is a pleasant change from all of the relatively unremarkable spaces of the other tasting rooms around town. The tasting staff were really nice and we ended up buying a couple bottles from them which waived our tasting fees. I actually had the Dr. Herold 2013 Riesling with some spicy Thai food last night and it was absolute heaven! read more

This place had amazing wines and a service to match. If you want someone to have a great time with, recommend great wines, and be liberal with the servings ask for Blake. read more

This place is very neat with chess and many wine books inside. It was uniquely decorated. The gadget the serve used to pour some of the wine was also very interesting. Anyhow, you get a full tasting of everything they had on the menu, and surprisingly, I didn't really enjoy any of them. I mean the wines weren't bad, but they didn't suit my taste. Nevertheless, the server still explained each wine and some history and background of Mark Herold, which was very interesting. read more

Wine was ok pours were supers small, lady that works there is not very nice atmosphere was whatever they automatically added a tip.felt like a friend's living room Go down the street to st clair bewery or twelve oaks way better vibe read more

Found this low key gem by a happy accident. Great guys that work here... Namely Michael Cambell. Allowed us to taste a bunch of wines that were both on and off the list. Excellent times! read more

Wow. Eric is awesome. Outstanding wine tasting experience. Unique selection of wines in a very relaxed environment. A must place to visit while in Napa. If you plan on going to Gotts or the oxbow venue then stop by for a entertaining time. read more

We stopped in on a recommendation by our inn. We were met by Mike in a relaxed atmosphere and we decided to try the wine with the chocolate pairings. Awesome choice! We felt like old friends soon enough and never felt rushed. We had some great wines and stayed for some time, trying some of the reserve wines. The chocolate pairings were great and are highly recommended. We even bought a bottle of wine that cost more than we normally would have spent but it was an impressive red (2012 Uproar). If you want to try some awesome wine in a relaxed atmosphere without all the pomp and circumstance of the big wineries try them!! read more

I can see why this place gets such good reviews! It's so close to Oxbow Market so if you want munchies or just finished lunch and are ready to do more tasting, stop here! The decor is quite interesting-it's so nice that new wineries are eschewing the traditional and staid way of doing things. Art by a local artist, assorted reading materials are provided, the pourers are friendly and fun, and most importantly-good, drinkable wine floweth! I love reds and ended up buying a glass of the 2013 Uproar which was delish! The staff let us sit and hangout. When I visited it was uncrowded and most importantly, unpretentious and also not a hard-sell for the wine club (as can happen at some tasting rooms). I had a very pleasant time here with some lovely wine. I recommend! read more

This place is awesome for wines but beware... Don't go to the new girl. Stick with Michael as your taster... Larger tastes and more fun. Do the chocolate tasting for sure.. A waste if you dont read more

First off, Eric was wonderful. Not even because we had so much in common, but his hospitality and humor made our stay wonderful. He knew so much about life and literature (as well as wine)! We were sad to leave him! Such a great vibe in the cellar and a must-see! Everyone else there was awesome as well. read more

This place is a must. Wines were great. Had such a great time. #Tim and # Carol you two were awesome. Loved the conversations.

We had an amazing time. The wine was fantastic and Mike was the best. He was very funny and helped us find some really great wines.

Amazing tasting room in Napa! My friend and I were visiting from out of state, and Mike was such an awesome host and made us feel so welcome. The wine was amazing, especially the 'Collide Red' and I cannot say enough good things about this place. I can't wait to visit again!! read more

When in Napa you must try these wines! We loved this tasting as it was fun and the guys running it are very knowledgable. The wines were incredible ... We especially loved the red selection. It was recommended to us by the inn on Randolph and we will definitely be spreading the word! Amazing!!! read more

Eric and Blake still totally rock! Our experience this time was even better than 3 months ago. Oh and about the wine.....amazing selection. Try the ecstasy flight tasting, it will be worth your time and taste buds. The tasting room associates busts their asses in thorough knowledge and entertainment with their guests. read more

Great little spot for wine tasting in the "city." We wandered here after having lunch in the Oxbow Public Market! Service was fantastic, they're super friendly, was very chill with all the pours and generous with all the tastings that we wanted! Everyone in our group ended up buying membership! :) read more

Wonderfully unique atmosphere and fantastic customer service! You'll feel right at home tasting wines with the wonderful and outgoing pourers here! The Flux varieties were definitely my favorite, but that's just my taste. Mike and Eric were working when we were there, and they were both amazing! This will definitely be a regular stopping point every time we visit Napa! read more

Fantastic. Great vibes. Good music. Not your typical tasting room. Blake was an awesome server-winepourer-taster-guide (funny too). Scott was great too. They greeted every person that walked in and somehow got us all talking to one another. Awesome social experience. Definitely coming back. ... oh yea, the wine, the wine was great. That goes without saying. (Try the Maze red blend.) Their interior designer has a gift. If I had come in feeling antisocial (which I wasn't that afternoon) I could have sat by myself and mused on all the cool art. read more

We were in town for the weekend and found this spot by accident on Friday. The wine was great and staff was terrific. My only complaint is i couldn't go back Saturday. read more

Not only are the wines delicious but the staff have charisma to match. It makes for a pretty awesome tasting experience. This was our second time at Mark Herold and on our next trip to Napa there will be a third. Thanks for everything Eric and Sonya!!! read more

The best tasting room in Napa! Amazing wine & staff. Be sure to check this place out. Thank you Mike & Eric for the fantastic tasting experience. I will definitely be back. Advice-- try the chocolate pairing! read more

The wines here are so yummy and adorable. Our host went above and beyond. I wish I got her name, but she wrote us a map full of places to try (listing where we needed to call ahead and where not). Such a warm space with wonderful people. A must stop! read more

Very fun tasting room. Tim was very knowledgeable and friendly. Wines were good. Very laid back place. Wine tasting fees waved with purchase of wines. read more

We had a BLAST here! Bill at Andretti Winery recommended this winery and we had such a fun time there. Part of the fun was the company of other wine tasters in the tasting room but Dean was a fantastic host. Fantastic wines and very generous pours and variety of wines here. A must visit the next time you're in Napa! read more
