Loved our experience at RD Winery. Adriana provided the best service and is super knowledgeable about the wines they produce and serve. She even gave us an awesome list of restaurants, bars, vineyard and wineries to visit on our trip. We had this place all to ourselves while we were there. We walked around, saw where they produced the wine, and enjoyed the Vietnamese artwork in their galleries and around the tasting room. Love the diversity this Winery provides the area and enjoyed the Fifth Moon tasting ($30 per tasting and bookable on Tock). All in all a great experience and would visit again. Loved Adriana's vibe and they also had a wine stain remover since I spilled my last taste (Red Zinfandel) on my sweater.
I coordinated a girls trip with a few of my friends. We finally got our schedules cleared to meet up for a weekend trip. I wanted to support RD Winery, since it's Asian owned. I was super excited to see this winery offer food pairing with the wine tasting. Ed, our host was phenomenal! We had a great time and enjoyed his company. The only thing I have to say is, the food pairing was a little disappointing. The only item that was good was the shrimp. I hope they change up the menu. Pot stickers or fried egg rolls would have been amazing with the Riesling. Korean bulgogi tocos/ sliders would have been a better choice than the pork slider. The Fifth Moon wine tasting and food pairing did not include their Cabernet. Ed was a sweetheart, and gave me and my friend a tasting. We ended up buying three bottles. The dinning area is modern and nice. I can definitely spend a day in here. Their garden was nice until we saw the freeway. I hope they have plans to cover that up a bit. Overall, we had a great time. I definitely recommend this place.
The food and wine pairings were delicious and we loved our server, Ian. Ian is the best!! The garden is very pretty and there was great shade/natural light on the patio.
Pleasantly surprised. The building is a industrial park but despite that it is well kept and comfortable with a nice out door patio. The wines were great, we liked the zinfandel and reisling. Prices were overall fair. Our host, I can not remember her name, was great. She was very comfortable and at ease and was there only exactly when needed. I'd come back!
We had to check out RD winery when we were in Napa to support a Vietnamese-owned business! It's more like a tasting room, there is indoor and outdoor seating with a garden view. I didn't feel like I was missing out on the winery vibes here, it was still a nice ambiance. I went with the fifth moon tasting, and the wines were okay. Some of the white wines were a little lacking in flavor for me. One person in our group got the chocolate pairing with their tasting and I loved getting to sample some unique chocolate truffle flavors like pho, jasmine tea, and Vietnamese coffee. We also ordered the duck flatbread, which was so delicious. The duck was smoky and savory and contrasted with the sweet and tangy plum sauce. The fresh spring onion relish rounded out the flavors of the flatbread. The Asian inspired offerings on the food menu were a standout of our time here. Our server was so knowledgeable and friendly, which definitely added to the experience. We tried a glass of her favorite, the grenache, and ended up buying a bottle of this to bring home. Definitely the best one we tried out of the tastings! Overall, warm staff and relaxed garden views, with some unique bites and wines, though I wish I enjoyed the wines in my tasting more.
RD Winery is the perfect example of a hidden gem in plain sight. Located where Highways 29 and 12 converge in south Napa not too far from the Napa County Airport, RD Winery is the first Vietnamese owned winery in the Napa Valley. RD Winery is a venture by Dong Van Nguyen, who built his Rong Dong Group into a construction, real estate, and hotel powerhouse in his native Vietnam, purchasing the Napa facility that once housed both a brewery and a sake winery. The plan for RD Winery was to produce high-quality wine for the burgeoning Vietnam market, but with import taxes too high to justify the cost, the owner's niece, who is the CEO of RD Winery convinced them to keep the wine right here for those to enjoy in Napa, and we are all the more luckier for that. RD Winery doesn't own any of its vineyards as they source their grapes from throughout the state. What they do accomplish on site is crushing, and a lot of it, so much so they not only custom process their own grapes for their own wines, but they also crush grapes for a number of other local wineries and winemakers, making them a destination for all. What brought a friend and I here on a chilly winter weekend afternoon was the fact that RD Winery provides one the most accessible food and wine pairings in the entire Napa Valley. Served over the weekends for sixty-five dollars a person, this seasonal Asian-inspired menu from Chef Max Ackerman of Sushi Monkey, which has a series of pop-ups and provides takeout sushi rolls at local markets. When paired with RD Winery's Fifth Moon series from winemaker Timothy Milos, named for the 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar calendar year, it made for the perfect combination. Sitting out on their patio underneath their heating lamps made for a wonderful afternoon, as our tasting room associate Ed made sure to pour all five wines and explain what each of them represented before we were presented with our selection of food. We enjoyed their 2021 Riesling sourced from Sonoma County, their 2020 Grüner Veltliner sourced from the central coast of California, their 2020 Chenin Blanc sourced from El Dorado County, their 2020 Rosé also sourced from El Dorado County, and their 2021 Red Blend which was a combination of grapes sourced from multiple locations around the state. These wines were paired with their Curried Kettle Corn, Shrimp Cocktail, Veggie Spring Roll, Mushroom Soup Shooter, and a Pulled Pork Slider. Of the wines, all five had something special about their tasting, their Riesling, which was a pleasant wine that was a little sweet, but not overbearing that it went down real smooth; their Grüner Veltliner was both bold and soft with every sip; their Chenin Blanc was a fruit forward wine but had mild after notes; their Rosé was rare as it was not pink in color as they remove the skin from the grapes when crushing them in order to achieve solid fruity notes; and their Red Blend was a solid combination of three wines that gave it a soft easy finish. When paired with menu items such as their poached shrimp marinated in kimchi cocktail sauce or their ginger braised pork served on a steamed bun and with hoisin and red beet bbq sauce, the savoriness of the food was really heightened on the palate. We weren't quite done with our winery experience, as we adjourned back in their Southeast Asian-inspired tasting room to enjoy their cheese and charcuterie board. Paired with a pour of their Grenache from their Hundred Knot series, we enjoyed a variety of nuts, cornichons, brie and gouda cheese, soppressata salami, and crackers from Rustic Bakery, it really brought out medley of flavors that pair well with every item on our board. But then there was more as we also added onto our order their chocolate and wine pairing, which paired a box of five different truffles locally sourced from Annette's chocolate with a glass of their Hundred Knot Pinot Noir. From savory bites to sweet treats to end our meal, everything was enhanced with luscious yet subtle wines. At about eight-four dollars a person before taxes and gratuity was added in, this was the perfect way to enjoy a multi-course food and wine pairing without breaking the bank. I loved the first two wines we enjoyed so much that I made sure to purchase a bottle each of their Riesling and their Grüner Veltliner to take home with me. With team members as welcoming as Ed, Adriana, and Kandace, our day and experience at RD Winery was one to remember. Where else can one enjoy wine tasting with a pair of metallic chopsticks? With service like that, you know that they know food at RD Winery, and after sampling so many of their varietals, they know wine too!
RD Winery offers a distinct Napa Valley experience. Unlike traditional wineries with vineyard views or castle-like tasting rooms, RD offers an indoor as well as outdoor space where you choose your tasting flight and seating after arrival. The indoor space is very open and has a coastal vibe because of the color scheme and the decor. We opted for indoor seating. The tasting flight options range from $30 to $80, all including five tastings. We had a "covet pass" that waived the fee for the regular tasting, but my friend wanted to try the "captivating" selection (priced at $80). Thankfully, the pass covered most of it, and we only had to pay $30 extra. We also shared a small cheese and charcuterie board. It included two cheeses, crackers, mixed nuts (mostly almonds and cashews), and dried cranberries. While decent, it wasn't particularly impressive. Moving onto the actual tasting, out sommelier was knowledgeable and attentive, guiding us through the tasting with interesting details about each wine. The wines themselves were decent, offering a nice mix of whites and reds. However, our experience was marred by a large, loud group seated nearby. They brought a barking dog, making conversation difficult. With the indoor space mostly empty, it felt like the staff could have placed them further away.
My fiance and I were planning an overnight trip to Napa with our pet. I had initially planned to check out specific dog-friendly wineries, but we took our time leaving from the South Bay to Napa and didn't allot enough time to check those places out. Instead, I took a chance at looking into wineries by our hotel and hoped for the best. I did a google search of the area and found that RD Winery was a quick 4 minute drive from our hotel. A huge plus was that the winery was also one of the first stops off the main highway, so we didn't have to drive an extra 30 minutes for more popular spots. I was incredibly pleased with our time at RD Winery, and it ended up being the only winery we visited during our entire afternoon! We arrived at RD Winery around 4pm on a Saturday. The place wasn't busy at all, and we were informed that we had just missed a rush of people. This worked out to our favor, because it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. They were also very dog-friendly, and it was nice that my dog got plenty of space to roam while on leash. I did the chocolate and wine tasting, which I would HIGHLY recommend. It was such a sensory experience. I went home with a few wines because of their unique compositions. i.e. the reisling (sweet and citric), sauvignon blanc (crisp apple), veltliner (bitter tones), and zinfandel (spiciness?). I really understood the Vietnamese influences. The chocolates from Socola, a chocolatier by two Vietnamese sisters from SF, were amazing in their own right. The pho, durian, and guava chocolates were out of this world. The pho truffle was spot on with its brothy flavor. The durian white chocolate was fire, and I don't even like durian. The pâte de fruit of the guava truffle was juicy and flavorful. Lastly, the customer service and hospitality at RD Winery were exceptional. There were 4 employees during the time we were there, and they were all friendly and interactive. The staff member who walked us through our tasting was so professional and really flexed her knowledge about the wines and chocolates.
Came here with a group of 10 and it was nice how all of it was set up for us when we got there! Good: - Indoors, which is great for the rainy and cold days - Each drink is named and labeled so you don't forget what you have - We got a private room in the back which was super private and good - 5 wines for the tasting, which was a great amount to have Bad: - Was more of a "drink on your own" type experience - not too much personality here compared to the other places I've been to - Location wise is in a shopping plaza so there's less things to look at Overall this place was cool since it's Asian-inspired and probably the first I've heard of! Clean and upscale.
A hidden gem to say the least. Stopped by this winery on the way to an event..wanted something convenient and not overwhelming. This was the perfect spot...a little oasis. Didn't have time for a tasting so did a glass of their Riesling which many recommended. And tried the duck confit flatbread. The Riesling def didn't disappoint. It was sweet but not overly sweet. It was perfect for a hot day in Napa. I'm not typically a whites gal but ended with a bottle of this to go. The duck confit was like nothing I had before...it had a sweet chili sauce mixed in which brightened up a traditionally stuffy dish. It was delicious. They have a little zen garden as well. Overall, highly recommend this winery. It's perfection. Def will go back to try their other wines and tastings...but their Riesling is a def winner!!!
Absolutely amazing experience. Our tasting room associate Adriana was SO knowledgeable and just made the entire experience. We loved the pork buns and the duck flat bread, they're both definitely a must-try!
I randomly found RD last fall when my friend came to visit and wanted to see Napa. Lucky find! After a tasting and some food I signed up to be a member immediately. First, the service is outstanding. Every single person I meet/interact with is super nice and you can tell they like working at RD. It's now been a year of membership and I've visited at least 6 times. I appreciate how they remembered my name from the time I signed up and make sure to pronounce it accurately, that doesn't happen many places. Second, the wine is really really good. I'm more into red wine and usually hate Chardonnay but I love every wine I've tried here, including the Chardonnay. I love learning about the history of the winery and their unique wine making process, full details included with each tasting or visit. The wine is priced really fair for the good quality. Third, I have celiacs and they went out of the way to make sure they had gluten free crackers for the cheese board I ordered with my friend. I can't speak to how the rest of the food tastes, but it sure looks and smells good!
The first Vietnamese-owned winery in Napa! I discovered this place with my friends when I took them to a Yelp Elite Event in Redwood City, we tried out their wines and was enticed by their $55 wine tasting and food pairing. My friend booked a reservation for 6 for her early birthday celebration. Our server Vincent was so amazing and funny! He gave us the history of RD Winery, I was surprised this winery officially opened up in 2021 (2020, but COVID happened). We're locals from Suisun and Fairfield, and he pointed out where the ingredients from the wine and food were sourced from, from the Green Valley/Cordelia area to Lodi. The food pairing included Asian fusion small bites, from green curry powder popcorn, cocktail shrimp, spring toll, a soup shooter, and a pork bao. I really liked the popcorn but beware when you eat it because you can easily inhale the powder. I kept sneezing because of it. The bao went perfectly with the Zinfandel, it was one of my favorite pairings. Vincent said that we were free to try the bites with each of the wines as everyone's palates would be different. The winery is located next to the highway so the ambience can be pretty noisy especially with loud motorcycles. The garden however was very pretty and my friends and I took lots of pictures together. Would come back again! Since this place is newer, it's definitely underrated.

Ian was the funnest server, he answered all of my questions and more. He truly went into detail about the origins of the wine and there unique flavors and had us interested. Walk ins welcome , no reservation needed for smaller parties, lots of parking, Very spacious inside and outside ! We chose to do to different tastings: Hundred Knot: Unique reds , if you love reds this is the place !!! There Zinfandel was insanely good and different than anything I have ever tasted. Seasonal Selection: my favorite tasting option All of the wines we're fantastic!!! What a great experience here will be back :) !! read more
Adriana was our server and she did an amazing job introducing us to the owner and history of this winery. I love that this place is Vietnamese owned and kept the artwork very Asian. The art on the bottles are also Asian influenced. Our group had a lovely time there tasting wine and taking pictures on their property. I would love to try some of their fun Fusian food items if I come back again, the menu looked great but I was too full from brunch. The place is super clean and there's plenty of cozy seating areas. Nice relaxing atmosphere. read more

Asian inspired pairings! Absolutely loved since I feel that "mainstream" wines don't often fit Asian food well! Adorable spot with excellent service! Our server timed the wines to the different foods we ordered and was careful to explain different notes in the wines to us! The space was also adorable behind the tasting area! They were also very flexible when we ran late to our reservation read more

Came here to fill my wine rack with a beautiful Riesling they have here. I tasted during a tasting. I bought two bottles that day and they are now both gone. So I came back to buy three more. I love it here because you don't have to be a member to make purchases of bottles. The Customer service is always top tier here and I really want to bring moms here for a mother day tasting. If you haven't been here yet gather your girls and come enjoy the beautiful space and excellent wine. read more
My friends and I came to try the 5th moon wine and food pairing at RD Winery. I'll start with what we loved - the space, art, and decor. Our party of six was seated in their private tasting room and on each wall were several beautiful paintings - It felt like we were dining in an art exhibit! The service was also great! One of our friends was vegetarian but forgot to indicate beforehand during our booking, but they were still able to accommodate his food preferences last minute which we really appreciated. As for the food and wine portion, to be honest we really wanted to like it since the presentation was so aesthetic, but we unfortunately didn't. We thought the wine tasted better on its own, but when paired with the small bites, the wine did not taste good at all. The flavors seemed to clash with one another. Wine aside, our favorite small bites were the gazpacho and the pork bao! read more

The pulled pork bao buns are a must try. Ian was such an amazing server and gave us all of the history of all of the wines we tried.

Stumbled across this place on our wine tasting trip this past weekend. We had missed some reservations so we needed to kill sometime. Luckily RD winery was open and nice enough to let us do a walk in! We did the seasonal selection which was $30 and it came with five different wines. It had a mixture of reds and whites along with one Rosé. We also got an order of cheese and charcuterie board. It came with blue cheese, peaches, cranberries, meat, crackers, jam, a whole variety! One of our friend was allergic to goat cheese so Ashley was more than accommodating and made her a separate mini board. Ashley was friendly and knew exactly what she was talking about when she had the wine suggestions. There were some options I wanted to try from the fifth moon tasting list and she was nice enough to switch some out so I can try it. If you're expecting a vineyard vibe, this location isn't it. It f Has indoor and outdoor seating and the location is located more in an industrial area than in an actual vineyard. However, the wines were still good read more

Great tasting room, friendly staff and amazing wine. Highly recommend as a stop while in Napa Valley. Came in on a cold Sunday afternoon, was greeted and attended extremely well by Chris. Made our group visit great and memorable, he even attended to our rambunctious kids. Great place and even better hospitality. read more

This place is amazing and so is the service. My sister in law and I decided to go after dealing with horses all day. They were so accommodating and not judgmental to our barn boots and made us feel just as important as everybody else there. Our wine professional, Adriana, was so knowledgeable and explained the wines to us like we were 5 years old (this is a compliment because she made it so easy for us to understand and explained it in a way where we could identify flavors and correlate the wines to familiar things). She had great food recommendations as well. The interior is way cute and so is the patio. The location is super super super easy to get to and you don't have to go deep into Napa if you don't live in that general area. We bought 4 bottles and that waived the fee for one of our tastings. The bottles were incredibly affordable (literally a steal) and they were so DELISH. I am going to put this on my "will return to" list. It's amazing! read more
We were in Napa, it was raining, and we were struggling to find an indoor winery that is also dog friendly. Was googling around and saw that one of the founders of RD Winery is Vietnamese American and that some of the wine is inspired by it, so being intrigued, I knew we had to stop by. RD Winery was more than welcoming, had many available couch seatings, and most importantly, was dog friendly. The wine was great and affordable and we brought back 2 bottles to share with friends and family. We also grabbed a charcuterie board which was great. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

We we're excited to go wine-tasting in Napa for the first time and this place did not disappoint. The location itself was beautiful--from the inside to the patio to the garden. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with kindness which is a rare find these days! The wine-tasting itself was definitely an event to remember. We had the best sommelier, Jazz! Jazz was super knowledgeable and happy to guide us through our first experience. Jazz ensured that we were prepared for the next time we went wine-tasting with the proper techniques. Since we were new to the area, Jazz also shared some of his favorite beaches to visit. The wine itself was delicious! I enjoyed both the white and red flights. It was really interesting to hear the cultivation differences and the reason for their tastes. Overall, our experience was 10/10. I highly recommend coming here and asking for Jazz if you are in the area and want a great wine-tasting experience. read more

Visited this winery over the weekend with my mom and aunt and I won't lie, we had a little bit of trouble finding it! It could just be since we aren't from the area but once we circled around a few times and found the parking lot/entrance, we were just greeted with the most beautiful cherry blossom trees all over! We had the Fifth Moon tasting ($30) & Seasonal Selection tasting ($45), both had 5 wines per tasting. Both tasting were super affordable and very tasty, our host was very informative about the wines and even offered us an extra pour when we were deciding which bottle to buy. We had also ordered their duck confit flatbread which was delicious! My only complaint would be that it did take a while to come out. We were hoping to enjoy the food with our tasting but by the time it came out, we were about done and we were there for quite some time. Although this spot doesn't have a vineyard and isn't on the strip with all the other wineries of Napa, it's definitely still a cute and chill spot. It's more laid back which would be perfect as a first stop before heading to other tastings in the area. read more

Loved this winery! It's very close to the entrance of napa so you won't have to deal with any traffic entering or exiting this place. I booked a food + wine tasting for my friend's birthday and was very satisfied with the service and wine! The staff was very kind and patient considering that half of my party was running over half an hour late. The staff reassured us it was okay that not everyone was there yet and they let us sit at our table and wait to start until they all arrived. I really enjoyed the different flavors of food the chef paired for each wine. The ambiance of the winery was calm and the garden was very pretty! I would definitely come back read more
