Pride Mountain was amazing! We came to celebrate my sister's birthday and it was perfect! The beautiful scenerie, cool cave, and of course quality wine. Our tour guide Krysta really made it special! She was super accommodating, great energy, and made the whole experience awesome! We definitely recommend this place and will be coming back (: read more

I loved loved loved this winery. We got the Reserve experience, led by Becky. It was 90 minutes of sampling through the winery's wines, walking through the cave and learning about Pride's craft. It was so intimate and personable - one of the best winery tours we've had. The wines are also excellent - we were particularly stunned by the chardonnay and syrah which are wines we tend to stay away from, but Pride produced such delicious ones that we changed our minds on them! The view here is stunning, too. But I highly recommend getting a private driver since the drive up the hill is quite a hike! read more

This is my very first winery/vineyard and I'd say after this experience, the bar is now set to HIGH. Our host, Krista, was so knowledgeable, open to repeat/answer any questions, and is so good at holding conversations! I felt so enlightened and energized because of her absolute good vibes. Krista ended up showing us a variety of different wines, but the most notable wine was the very beginning. 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! read more

Great experience. Winery: Beautiful grounds and stunning views. Worth the drive up Spring Mountain. So cool to see the contrast between the mountain vineyards vs. valley floor. Wine: Really enjoyed the wine. Focuses on Bordeaux varietals. This is definitely a fruit forward, new world style, but it's not at all jammy. Almost everything is estate grown. Service: This really made our experience. Brittney was our host and she was warm, very knowledgeable, and generous. It really feels like the people here love working here which is very different from a lot of other Napa/Sonoma tasting experiences. This is a really popular winery so it does feel a bit commercial (as a guest, you are kind of on a time limit) but this place really blends the best of corporate efficiency + family run business/down to earth people. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing tour and tasting. Quique was an awesome host. So friendly, knowledgeable, and really made our experience memorable. Tour was interesting- we even were able to see the guys pressing the skins- just a magical day. The wines are outstanding. We loved each taste- Merlot from the barrel... !! We also loved the famous cab franc- but don't dismiss the Chardonnay or Cab Sauv. Don't miss out on this vineyard... it's worth the ride up the curvy road!! read more

Pride Mountain is where the valleys of Napa and Sonoma meet in a perfect union. You can literally stand right where the counties split in a perfect photo op! You'll be enamored by those breathtaking wine country views and their succulent red wines. Tasted here with a friend and we had a lovely experience. If you're into history and engaging wine walking tours, Pride Mountain is your baby. Their tasting includes a tour of their property, and the tastings are done in group settings unless a private tasting is specified. We started our tasting in the main tasting hall at the entrance and were given a splash of their yummy Viognier. This was actually the only white wine that we tried during our tasting, but it was light and refreshing. Brittney was our tour guide and she was absolutely delightful! She told us about the history of Pride Mountain and elaborated on their family arch that separates the Sonoma and Napa valleys. She also gave us a wonderful cave tour where I was able to enjoy a fabulous Merlot! I was smitten. I am not generally a fan of Merlots, but I was utterly impressed with theirs. We finished the tour on their side patio by partaking in a few side by side tastings of their Cab Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. If you enjoy bolder red wines, you will fall head over heels for their Cab Sauvs. They are truly exquisite. We were paired with a couple in our group and it was fun to interact with them during our tasting. The tour was incredible and Brittney was fantastic! I also mustn't forget to mention the glorious views. This winery is perched super high up on a hill (be mindful of the one lane road and the windy drive up). The views are drop dead gorgeous everywhere that you turn. Although I enjoyed the tour, I wished that my friend and I would have gotten a little more time to relax and socialize. The tour and tasting is definitely more focused on the learning aspect, which is totally fine. We're just used to having some time to relax in between tastes. All in all, it was super informative and the wines are definitely top notch. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in an intimate tour and beautifully bold red wines. read more

Pride Mtn has been a staple for us for years. Never a disappointment when we visit. The staff, especially Jay, are incredibly friendly, the property is spectacular and their wines are superb. The cave tour is amazing and it's always fun to get to taste a hidden gem from one of the unreleased vintages! The beauty that surrounds the property is indescribable and all I can say is go visit! You do need reservations...and the road up is windy so plan accordingly. read more

Krista's energy and authenticity was so amazing and truly elevated our tasting. She reminded us that wine is about art and experience too. Get her to sing for you if she will. The wines are French styled with beautiful, pure, and complex flavors. The landscape is incredible and the people are even better. Thank you to Steve and Tim for making us feel so welcome as well in conversation and letting us roam around the property. read more

My family and I made a visit to Pride and absolutely loved them. Their grounds are beautiful, their wine is delicious and their hospitality is the kind that is rare to find. I also appreciate that they don't charge for those who aren't drinking wine. That feels hard to find in the valley. Also, HUGE shoutout to our host Barrett. We had a bit of a mishap with the wines we brought home but he resolved the issue right away. Highly impressed and appreciative. Can't wait to go back. Thank you, Pride. read more

Pride Mountain has an incredible property! Separated by the county line of Napa and Sonoma. We visited the property over the Columbus Day weekend. Andy was such an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the property and the wine he is serving. He has the ability to talk about wine that people on any level of wine from beginner to expert can listen to and learn from. A little bit of a drive up the mountain but it is definitely worth a visit! read more

Pride is an absolute gem and is located in both Sonoma & Napa County lines. The property is absolutely beautiful! It is a bit of a drive to get there whether coming from St. Helena or Santa Rosa but it's well worth it! I recently enjoyed the reserve experience at Pride Mountain, which includes a Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and library wines. The length of time is 90 minutes on the dot. During this tasting, we were immediately greeted by our host Brittney in the tasting room with a splash of Viognier. We then proceeded to learn some history about Pride Mountain. We then headed into the cave to walk around and learn more about the wine and winery. In the cave, we tasted a Merlot and a Cabernet Sauvignon. We then sat on the patio and enjoyed the rest of our tasting with some nibbles of cheese and nuts. I enjoyed both the Viognier and Merlot as the standouts. The Cabernets were wonderful as well! Brittney was very knowledgeable and provided a fun and educational experience throughout our visit. You could tell she is passionate about the wines and wine industry. I highly recommend visiting Pride Mountain and had a wonderful experience! read more

Had a great tasting experience with Jay this morning. The winery sits on beautiful ground with lots of history. Jay was a wonderful and knowledgeable host. I learnt so much from him. Even the rain didn't tarnish the experience at all. We enjoyed all the wine served and I especially love the reserved 2021 Cabernet. This is a wonderful winery to visit if you want a great tour and fabulous wine. read more

Pride Mountain Vineyards - tasting host - Wineries Near Me - St. Helena, California

First, this place is out of the way. Up in the mountains, so you will have a drive to get there. The roads are marginal. But the facility is first-rate. Not a barn, but like a beautiful resort area. And the views are great. Tours and tastings are amazing. They show you everything and explain everything in detail. The knowledge and experience are top-notch. It is like a fun world for wine. It is so satisfying to see great customer service in Napa, where you expect it but do not always get it. Their wines are a bit on the pricey side, based on Napa averages, but the wines are good. And their unique feature? They are on the county line. Napa and Sonoma. You can be in both counties at the same time. read more

This stop was a recommendation from a friend. It was absolutely worth it. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Jay our host. He got our group together. Called everyone by first name. He made the experience fun and personal even though there were 3 different couples in our group. Of the many tours, this one did very few tastings just standing or sitting at the bar/table which was great in my opinion. Jay shared a lot of energy and passion with our group making it a memorable experience for sure. Even taking pictures for us along the way. I'd definitely return on my next visit. read more

Our tour and tasting with Mark was fantastic. We picnicked before our tasting and Pride had a picnic basket ready to go for us. We had lunch on their property and enjoyed a bottle of syrah which was amazing. Mark was very knowledgeable and very fun and friendly. He definitely elevated our tasting experience! All the lines we tried were delicious, honestly this was our favorite vineyard on the trip. read more

At 2200 ft it was a bit scary going up into the foggy mountain. We were actually in the clouds. Two lane windy road I was just thrilled to make it to the top of Pride Mountain safely. The view is absolutely breathtaking. Their specialty was Merlot. I felt it was a bit overpriced though. Another interesting point about this vineyard was it straddles Sonoma & Napa counties. They keep their wine in a 23,000 square feet cave. Krista, our guide did an awesome job showing us around the cave. I would recommend checking it out but it would be best on a dry day. read more

This winery goes above and beyond! Our tasting consisted of delicious Chardonnay then moved right onto my favorite reds. Mark our expert guide took us to the barrel room. Incredibly knowledgeable about wine and the process from grape to bottle. We tasted directly from the barrel and compared it to vintners selection. We had such a great time! Merlot was our favorite which Mark described why it has the fullness of a Cab. (Mark Ferguson was an excellent guide and educator highly recommend!) Though the drive up the mountain requires careful maneuvering it was well worth it! Not only the beauty of the drive and winery setting but also Prides commitment to offer an excellent experience for each guest. I have never paid for a tasting and received such excellent service - much more than we expected! Bravo!! Thanks Pride we will be back! read more

Loved our cave tour at Pride Mountain Vineyards! Our group of 9 started the tour with a taste in their tasting room before proceeding through their facility. We enjoyed hearing about their family owned property that straddles both Napa and Sonoma County. We walked through the caves where we enjoyed a few more tastings including a not quite finished version of their cab poured from a barrel. It was a unique experience to then be able to compare it to a finished bottle! They have a really moody speakeasy like tasting room for a leveled up experience that you can book. It would definitely be worth another trip back. The road up to Pride Mountain is a windy one, but well worth the journey! read more

Wine, ambience, views, service, music, decor--all excellent. This is a must-stop winery. Make a reservation. Worth the drive.

We were finally able to get reservations here and it was well worth the trip. The winery is located at a higher elevation than most other wineries in the area. It is also located on the border of Napa and Sonoma counties which makes it unique as well. If you like reds, this is the place. We met up with our server/ tour guide who poured us a glass of wine and we commenced on a tour of the property which included the winery cave. There were multiple stations inside where we stopped for each wine offered. The tour was great and very informative. We finished our tour in a private tasting room and the wines are incredible. Our server was hilarious with her contagious enthusiasm. This is a must stop in Napa but make sure to get advanced reservations. read more

For 25+years, we have an annual staple visit to Napa & Sonoma, coming in from the east coast. The top of our winery list is always Pride Mountain Vineyards. Not only is the property beautiful sitting atop of Spring Mtn., but overall, the winery as a whole hits the perfect sweet spot of super high quality yet maintains a friendly & unpretentious charm. First & foremost, the wines are amazing and a great value. However, what further sets Pride apart is the employee team we've met over the years who consistently exude a warm & welcoming demeanor. Over the years, Pride team members consistently relay that it's wonderful to be part of this family run business, ...which is increasingly less common in the region. Today, we had Krista as a host and she was hands down THE BEST for her knowledge, energy, and incredible sense of humor. We brought our 21 year old daughter on this trip (1st time!) and she proclaims Pride is her absolute fav winery we've visited, and we gleefully agree!! read more

What a great afternoon wine tasting at this little piece of heaven atop a beautiful mountain. I won't lie the drive is a little hairy at times but totally worth it. We had the pleasure of spending our Summit experience with Ashley. She made the time so pleasurable and the wines, well they speak for themselves. Your tour goes through the barrel caves and into this room that is very Game of Thrones themed. The wines were Merlot/Cab driven but top notch, with a few blends mixed in. They had a sweet wine which was directly up my alley paired with the white cheddar cheese and almonds were a perfect match. You can bring a picnic lunch and enjoy with a breath taking background. The grounds are beautiful and the fact that the winery sits in 2 different counties is pretty cool. I highly recommend this winery for your next wine tasting experience. read more

One of my favorite vineyards in the Napa Valley/Sonoma area! The wines taste amazing, the property is beautiful, and the friendly service is great. This was my second visit to Pride Mountain Vineyards. My group enjoyed our first experience back in 2017 so much that I had to return in 2021 and introduce another friend to it as well. It was our first stop in the morning and we were able to get a 10am tasting/tour time. We arrived a bit early and took some photos and then were greeted by our uber-knowledgeable and friendly host. For our first tasting we sat on the outside porch and chatted about the wine and the property. Then he took us for a walk and explained that their property is situated partially in Napa and partially in Sonoma. There is a literal line on the ground to differentiate and the rules of the counties require that certain parts of the winemaking process do not cross onto the other side. How interesting! Next we moved into the cave. There is so much space and so many barrels of wine. Throughout the tour we learned about the winemaking process, history of the vineyard, and about each wine. After exiting the cave we were treated to gorgeous views of the vineyard and more wine. The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish and I'll definitely be going back. read more

The wine was some of the best I've ever had. That was matched by the beauty of the mountain vineyard. The wine caves are a really fun place to tour.

Our host Kristi was so much fun and knowledgeable. read more

Pride Vineyards is a gem in Napa Wine tours. It is a must. If I were to give a Napa tour to someone who has never been to Napa I would have Pride near the top of the list for a few reasons 1. The view. It's so unique as a mountain vineyard. It's gorgeous. 2. The caves. They are amazing and the cave tour has been fantastic each time we have gone. I got a nice education there as well. 3. Gotta try their whites. You'll know your preference as to a dry white or buttery white. 4. Reds are amazing. Their Cab is top notch. One of the best and it ages so well. It's half price of a fancy well know. Brand but as good or better. We go out of our way to stock up on the Cab and Merlot for special events. It's always a hit. If I were big into wine clubs (I'm too poor) but if I were... I'd buy it by the case. Highly recommend this as a must see for anyone who visits Napa. read more

I've been a member here for years and for very good reason! Pride is one of my all time favorite wineries. Their wine is incredible, and one of the best values out there. Their property is located between Napa and sonoma counties and makes for an interesting story. I always bring friends who have never been to Napa here first because it feels like the quintessential Napa experience. Ask for the tasting with the cave tour! The tour is around 90 minutes and they do a great job at providing you wine throughout your tour. Some places in Napa have lengthy tours without wine, and there is no fun in that! They offer some library wines in the cave tasting and it's very interesting to compare the same wines that are years a part. Strongly consider their wine club, feel free to use me as your referring member ;) read more

I ended up becoming a member after our experience here! We paid a little extra to do the Summit Experience. We started by touring a bit of the winery where we learned a lot of different and interesting things about their history while sampling some of the lighter wines. We then headed into the wine cave where we got to try wine directly from the barrel. Our tour guide finally took us to their beautifully decorated den in the wove cave that we had all to ourselves. Tried more wine, enjoyed some charcuterie, and learned even more about the winery. The wines were exceptional. I can't wait to get my first shipment! read more

What a wonderful time we had here yesterday with our host Annie. The winery is quite large, with expansive caves, and is partially in Napa, and Sonoma (great photo op under the stone arch). We started out in the tasting room, walked through the caves making stops along the way for additional wines, and ended up in a really cool room in the caves that itself feels a lot like a wine barrel (the wood slatted ceiling is pretty cool along with the decor which feels a little game of thrones-esk). Annie did a wonderful job of telling us about the wines, and the winery. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine, tasting, and walking around the property - we also lucked out with an abnormally warm day for February. Highly recommend booking a tour/visiting!! read more

I love you Pride! As dedicated Pride go-ers (and lovers), Thank you so much for the engagement gift! The only place we went during our engagement trip that did anything special, and you absolutely delivered! My family and I have been coming here for a good 4 years now, and been members for 2! My now fiancées brother got engaged here and has always held a special place in our heart. The drive is memorable, the property is memorable, the wine is memorable, and the people are memorable. I love their Merlot and Claret (amongst plenty others). We try to always get the Summit experience. The room you get to taste in is to die for. Definitely splurge on it if you can, it is VERY enjoyable and a must-do for us every time we come to Napa. You can't go wrong with the staff there. Krista, Mark, Jay, among many other names at Pride are the best guides we've had. If any of them went elsewhere they'd easily be the #1 team member. If you have Krista as your guide, she is the best and we have become great friends with her! If not, every other person at Pride carries themselves with the same excitement for wine and respect for guests as her, so you always feel in good, attentive hands. They're also VERY dog friendly (specially for the little ones!) to the point where they know our dog as much, if not more, as us! Cheers! read more

Wow, just wow. A friend recommended this place on my last visit, but due to the fires we didn't make it. So on my next outing to Napa I definitely had to try it, and had no regrets. The server was amazing and her and the amazing wine sold me on becoming a wine club member. The caves were never ending, I couldn't believe how extensive they were. I would recommend a visit for red or white wines. You will find more than one bottle you like. At the end of the tour we were brought into a room with a large table and the place was amazing. read more

5 stars alone for our host Jay. His warmth, knowledge, and overall customer- centric approach was a perfect complement to the wines at Pride themselves. He also has some pretty great one liners, and some insta-worthy photo-taking skills. All the wines tasted were fantastic - highlights were the Merlot and Claret. Some notes: - The tasting experience (Reserve) we had was with 2 other couples - our group was very fun, but something to take note of if you are looking for something more private. - Give yourself time to make it up to the property so you are not late for the tasting. read more

I survived the drive to Pride Mountain Vineyards! Such a lovely and interesting vineyard that sits in between Napa and Sonoma County.

I was recommended by my cousin in the wine industry to do a tasting here, and it exceeded my expectations ! I LOVE wine , so I celebrated my bachelorette in July , and words cannot express how amazing Paul at Pride mountain Vineyard was !

The grounds at Pride are pretty amazing! As well as the wine ! I would recommend you have a lot of time ahead in case you have multiple tastings (we were running late because we didn't want to leave ) . Since most of my girls had not experienced wine tasting at Napa I was so happy that they got to experience the caves and vineyards here at Pride , they all absolutely loved it! I will definitely be returning with my now husband to Pride ! And recommend to others from SoCal to stop by ! read more

This is a long overdue review from my visit the end of January 2020. Jay was our host and he was amazing!!! He was fun, engaging, informative, welcoming, and sincere. The wine is spectacular too! I really didn't need to buy wine, and hadn't planned on buying anything. I'm not even the biggest fan of Merlot, but I purchased a bottle. It's the best Merlot I've ever had. Cheers to Jay and the entire PMV Team! You have something really special, keep up the good work and give Jay a raise. read more

When visiting Napa, my dad and I were recommended Pride Mountain by someone local to Napa and invested in the wine tasting world. Pride Mountain was by far the most beautiful of the wineries we went to, it had astonishing 360 views and a great cave tour. It is definitely not "Traditional Napa" but it is a smaller one - VERY off the beaten path based on the windy roads driving in. We arrived about 45 minutes early, and rather us wait, we were given a glass of wine - white or red based on preference - and pointed in a direction to "go on an adventure". The host allowed us to wander the property and really take in the vineyards. From the beginning we knew this was going to be an amazing experience. The cave tour was incredible, they answered so many questions - I had plenty, being a chemical engineer and all and the alcohol definitely brings out my nerdy curiosity of the fermentation process. We were able to try wine straight from the barrel compared to the exact wine from the bottle, and it was a truly informative experience. Afterwards we went back to a room and tried a few more wines, and were given some water/light snacks. In total we tried 9 wines - light pours - but that's for the best considering how many wines. Most of the wines were reds, and although I am usually not a fan, they were quite good, but I really don't know wine well enough to give a quality review, and it depends on each individuals' palette. I would totally come back here. It is not a place for a bachelorette party by any means, but would make for a great date, or double date. The ambiance is unreal, and it gives you a phenomenal taste of Napa, and at a reasonable price in comparison to other places nearby!! read more
