They were already closed for the day, but Jarred was kind enough to let us have a seat in the patio and a few sips. He was incredible, and gave us a lovely experience for the few moments we spent there. I would use the word "cozy" to describe this location -- perfect for couples or groups to enjoy. It's got a very homey and intimate vibe, which I have to say I sometimes prefer to the large mansion/castle wineries. I definitely would love to return for the full tasting, although the detour was enough for me to purchase a bottle of their Rosé, and my friend was very close to buying the Muscat, both of which I recommend.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Lola wines. From the customer service to the ambiance to…read morethe vine variety and taste- everything was top notch. We made a reservation the day before and were able to sit out in the back patio area. They contacted us beforehand to see if we had any preferences or requests for wine tastings. We enjoyed learning all about how the wines were made and they all tasted fantastic. Even my boyfriend, who is not a wine drinker and was dreading the tasting, said he enjoyed 5/6 of the wines we tried (big win!) We spent a couple hours here and we were sad when it was over, it was the perfect start to our day in Calistoga!

I found this winery through scrolling through blog posts, and when I called to make a reservation, it went to Jeff's cell phone. It spoke volumes that he picked up during his sons little league game & then easily made a reservation with a quick email. It was a beautiful warm day in Calistoga, and the shade was perfectly over our tasting table. Everything about the outdoors was aesthetically pleasing, and Jeff was very down to earth and helpful. Amici wines are truly deluxe and made for people who enjoy quality wine.

We didn't sit at the far end and when the hostess came she made the request again and we pointed out the fact that that end of the table was wet. She moved us to the screened in porch. This wasn't a problem except for it was lightly raining before we arrived and it got heavier and there didn't seem to be a real plan in place. She did state that since they had guests staying the home they don't host tastings inside. Well not sure if the rule changed because 3/4 of the way through our tasting the next tasting arrived and they were set to have their tasting in the house. This was only one disappointing aspect of the visit. The hostess was not dressed professionally and we were served what seemed like boxed breadsticks that were extremely hard and tasteless. The wines were okay but definitely priced higher than in the store. We visited because the other couple in our party buys Amici at home and they thought it would be great to schedule a tasting. The experience was overall disappointing.

From the moment we arrived, the energy felt warm and welcoming--more like being invited onto someone's beautiful property than attending a standard tasting. The setting is relaxed and charming, with stunning vineyard views that make you want to linger. But what really made the experience exceptional were the people. Julie was an absolute delight. She struck that perfect balance of knowledgeable and approachable--deeply informed about the wines and the vineyard's sustainable practices, yet never pretentious. She made the tasting feel personal and conversational, taking time to share the stories behind each bottle while also making space for our questions and reactions. Her warmth and thoughtfulness genuinely elevated the entire visit. Thomas was equally wonderful--attentive, helpful, and effortlessly making sure everything ran smoothly. Whether it was refreshing water, explaining details about the food pairings, or helping coordinate timing, he anticipated needs without ever hovering. The hospitality here feels intentional and heartfelt. And of course, the wines themselves were fantastic--vibrant, expressive, and clearly crafted with care. The food pairings were thoughtful and delicious, complementing the wines beautifully and making the tasting feel cohesive from start to finish. Out of several stops that day in Napa, Tres Sabores was my favorite. It felt authentic, relaxed, and genuinely special. I would return in a heartbeat--and next time, I'll be bringing more friends.

The only thing that wasn't perfect was the weather, overcast and cloudy with some sun finally appearing toward the end. But still had some amazing views. The wines were all very good with some being standouts. The number and size of the tastings were more than acceptable. Our host Jazzlynn was personable and informative. She had nothing but positive things to say about the winery, owners, winemaker and working there--all pluses in my book as I love supporting family-run businesses who care about their employees. The drive up the mountain to get to Wild Diamonds in Lake County is nice and also provides for the great scenery while tasting in the "rooms with a view". With enough notice (48 hours) they can have charcuterie boards available for you. I thought I also heard them say you're welcome to bring your own--but don't quote me on that... verify! If you want to get away from the commercialized options in Napa and Sonoma, you won't go wrong at Wild Diamonds!

At the end of the tour, we were able to meet and pet some of the resident horses before sitting down for our wine tasting. We truly enjoyed all of the wines to some degree, but of course we have our individual favorites. The view while we sipped, chatted, and snacked was breathtaking. Highly recommend!

This winery is part of the Jackson Family Wines portfolio. Located in St.Helen right on the Hwy.

Our server was nice "enough" but breezed over information about the wines and repeatedly just described the wines as jammy. I discovered this really isn't my style of red - I prefer fresh savory reds. The interior had a very clean light wood modern aesthetic. A couple notable facts is their wine is single vineyard and they have a female wine maker.

She is the definition of true hospitality. The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. This property is friendly to all, including children, dogs, and cigars! Dress code is casual and the attitude is down to earth and not pretentious, so if you identify as a relaxed and casual person, you'll do just fine here! The wine tastings offer some on and off menu items, so you are getting what the menu promises and more. I enjoyed the 2021 Envy Chenin Blanc, the 2020 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2019 Borderline Petite Syrah. One of the off menu items was the dessert port wine, which I suggest to have with a piece of dark chocolate. A truly great pairing. I highly recommend Envy wines for the value and service provided!
