    The interesting ceiling detail and light fixture
    George W.

    I found this place scouring the information that is available on the web about Napa Valley. To be honest, we enjoyed every winery we visited - I kind of wish I did it more randomly, but that's in the rear view mirror. As you walk in to the winery, you have decorations on both sides as you approach the large stone building. Once you arrive near the front of the stone building, you go to your left to get into the tasting area. The tasting area is large - the room is huge, and it has comfortable seats. We signed up for the Marked Parcel Tasting, which included their 2021 Oak Knoll Sauvignon Blanc, their 2021 Blue Boots Red Blend, the 2018 Hopper House Vineyard Cabernet Franc, a 2019 Little Cannon Merlot, and their 2021 45th Anniversary Merlot. Our wine guide provided information on the winery and each wine. The chairs and table were very comfortable. The interior is quite modern - you can see the photos that I included in the review - it was large room, but stayed quiet in spite of having a few groups doing tastings. The wines were great, and we enjoyed the tasting!

    Cheers from Napa!

    On our first day in Napa, we decided to just stop in Markham to see if they had any openings for tastings. They didn't, which was understandable since it was a beautiful Saturday, however the host, Scotty, offered us a complimentary tasting of a few wines outside. We thought this was so nice and enjoyed his company so much, we decided to book a tasting later in the week. On Thursday afternoon, the four of us returned for a great experience. Scotty gave us his "retro" tasting. This was unique in that rather than ending the tasting with all the reds, we had whites in between to clean tannins from our taste. During the tasting, Scotty gave us a great history of Napa, including letting us know that Markham was one of the original four. He also provided great insight into the winemaking process which was so interesting. We loved this winery and the wines, but Scotty made this a special place! We were so happy to meet him and spend time here.

    Came during renovations so we sat outside on a warm summer day. Wine was ok, but engaging conversations made the time fly by and the experience wonderful. Thank you!

    Wonderful spot to visit. We were surprised by the superb service and friendliness. The atmosphere was perfect and the wines were very good.

    I was very impressed by the counter tasting at Markham. Being an avid Napa traveler, I had never been to Markham but they have a beautiful, modern tasting room and a lovely stone entrance. The hosts were very nice and told us all about the founders, wines, and tailored the tastings to each person. As part of the St. Helena Little Book of Big Experiences, I have really enjoyed trying tastings that I normally wouldn't be going to. Would recommend stopping by as the counter tasting at 25 dollars is quite a steal. Really enjoyed the Sav blanc and several of their red offerings.

    I was staying in Napa for about 2 months and went to Markham roughly 10 times & brought different friends along each time. Why? Because Sophia is the best! We had so much fun wine tasting with her, doing blind tastings, and learning about the wine. Both the interior & exterior are beautiful and the vibe isn't pretentious. Would highly recommend!

    We had a nice experience at Markham. Jason was our host and we really enjoyed talking with him. Unfortunately, we didn't enjoy the wines but that isn't anything against the wine. The property is modern, the outdoor tasting area is nice but not anything scenic or "pretty". It was a nice experience. Tasting fee was $50.

    Couldn't be better. Meeting Scott here is the best experience we had in the Napa valley. He's very knowledgeable and welcoming and told us a lot of stories about the wines and the history of Napa valley, and his hospitality makes us feel just like home. Their wine also tastes amazing and you won't regret it for sure. If you're visiting Napa for the first time, visit here without any doubt and you won't regret it.

    Wasn't much of a wine person ever, but Markham has me intrigued thanks to delicious beverages and Kip. We started our rainy Saturday in Napa here, only meaning to be here for a flight but ended up way past that thanks to Kip! I don't know what Kip's title is, so I've been calling him "Our Friend Kip". He made our visit so enjoyable! They were a little dead, so Our Friend Kip let our group of 8 sit at the normally members-only tables. Their flights tend to be more red than whites, so I figured I would just be handing them off after taking sips. Was I ever wrong! Our Friend Kip was quite generous in his pours - instead of sharing 2 flights among 2 persons (so we could try everything), we all got about 1.5 flights to ourselves. AND he gave us a tour of their facility- nothing too fancy but nonetheless neat to go behind the scenes where most public eyes do not. I enjoyed getting to know him and talk with him about his passion for the spirits industry - because I found out winemakers are typically fans of drinking anything but. Go for the 2013 Altruist Cab Sav and the dessert wine- they have made me fans despite my affinity for beer.

I am a member of V Sattui for several years, but never had the pleasure to experience the wine and food pairing. It was soooooooooo DELICIOUS. Chef Jeffrey Lloyd presented each dish and explained the ingredients. The Ahi Two Way with a delicious Carpaccio and a scrmptuous Tartare. It was paired with a 2025 Los Carneros Chenin Blanc and a 2024 Mt. Veeder Dry Riesling, which is one of my favorites for white wine. I was then pleasantly surprised with the Asparagus Soup. Who knew? When I say it was good, I wanted to lick the bowl and ask for more, and I don't even like Asparagus. The thought of consuming the poached quail egg made me feel some type of way. It may have been my first time, but it won't be my last time. DELICIOUS. The soup was paired with a 2023 Los Caneros Chardonnay and an aromatic 2021 Grenache. The best was definitely saved for last. The entre was swine on swine but it was not a crime, it was DEVINE. Prosciutto Wrapped Pork Tenderloin. This was so tender and juicy that it melted in my mouth.( I felt like Homer Simpson.) This was paired with a to die for 2022 Collina D'Oro Pinot Noir and my favorite 2022 Vittorio's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. The Sommelier was very knowledgeable and took time to explain how each paring complimented the menu. Service was GREAT, food was GREAT, but the wine was EXCELLENT....

My friends and I were limited in our wine knowledge and he admitted that he felt like all wine tastes the same. However, once we took our very first sip, the fruity, buttery notes completely changed our minds. She sets the image about drinking this near a pool and I immediately would get transported to her explanations. It was giving "Remy" from "Ratatouille" moment when you close your eyes and see/feel all the different imagery. Throughout the tour, we are educated on the fact that they have two different addresses because they are at the border of both Sonoma County and Napa! Literally best of both worlds! Afterwards, we tried multiple different wines in their caves and educated on the different notes, how to hold our wine glasses, and the importance of everything. Before this experience, I was completely unaware of what to look for, but now I feel like I have a better understanding of everything. Certain notes I didn't even expect like the peppery taste in one of the wines. It was so cool knowing that these type of caves and winery exists and I feel like our host, Krista, made our experience even BETTER. Thank you Krista for showing us around. This was completely unforgettable and I WILL BE coming again!

I am a white wine connoisseur because of my dietary restrictions with most ingredients in red wines, especially cherries and plum, that trigger my stomach pain and headaches. I have missed enjoying red wine because of this. I was hoping and praying that when my friends who are members of PEJU planned this wine tasting treat, that my stomach and head would be fine and to my surprise, my palate, tongue, stomach and heart were pleased with the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Fifty/Fifty, and more, including reserve reds Todd served and educated us about! I have NEVER enjoyed red wines like these I tasted at PEJU. Since the time of our outstanding wine tasting experience, I have recommended and raved about Todd and PEJU winery to friends and family who appreciate and value high quality wines and winery experiences. It felt like a vacation getaway being in the tasting room building, admiring the breathtaking stained glass art, all of the art inside and the beautiful art and nature views outside. I appreciate the PEJU staff and management team who welcomed us and were kind to us all the way to the end of our wine tasting experience when we left. This is the kind of treatment that makes us want to return. Napa is a special place for friends, family, and me, and PEJU is now an indelible memory in my Napa adventures! Todd clearly enjoys his important professional position, is passionate about wine and the wine experience, and brings so much joy to customers! I can't recommend him and PEJU enough! Todd went above and beyond to give us a VIP experience and even gave me a bag full of wine corks for my art project after I told him about this and asked for some of their wine corks we saw lined up in their wine uncorking and pouring area.

I tried quite a few different wines, and really liked how there are a few unique offerings here that you can't find elsewhere - I ended up getting a bottle of their Province, the Farm, and their late harvest orange muscat. PEJU is also one of the few wineries with a permit to serve food. If I had known ahead of time, I would've planned to eat here! The rilettes were super tempting, but Joseph advised that if I was planning to eat a meal afterward to stick to the chips and dip - this ended up being quite a generous portion as well, and I really enjoyed the goat cheese truffle dip alongside the wine tasting :) Overall, PEJU is definitely a beautiful winery to visit with excellent service, and I'll definitely be back!
