    Beautiful tasting room
    Billy M.

    My buddy's wife bailed last minute, so he asked if I wanted to join him on his Mondavi tasting. I was happy to accept. Mondavi just finished a massive update and reno project so I was excited to see what was done. I hadn't visited in years. In a word: georgeous. Despite the overcast day, the new tasting room was modern yet warm due to the color pallete. The expansive windows give you a beatiful view of the To Kalon vineyard. My video gives you an idea of the view, but on a sunny day it would be even better. The service is top notch as well. Our hostess shared the wonderful history of the winery and their move toward sustainability. For example, the ceiling in the new tasting room was made of previously used oak barrels. Also the new flower and fauna outside was made up of native drought restraint California species. In regards to tasting the wine was excellent. I was impressed by the reserve fume blanc and their current red blend. The two cabs presented were nice but were young as they needed more time to tame. The potential was there. My buddy ended up buying their 2018 vintage which showed that Mondavi wine can age really well. Also one note, Mondavi does have a culinary room and offers a food pairing. I would definitely check that out. After doing a few tastings, some type of food helps keep the pallet fresh. Mondavi is definitely a winery a must stop in the Napa Valley! Cheers!

    Ok, here it is, the big one when it comes to wine tasting at wineries in Napa Valley. To be clear, I haven't been to more than a handful of wineries in the area, but it is hard to imagine a more impressive place to sip wine. The new buildings look like a modern museum of some kind, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking gardens, water features, walking paths, and the vineyards themselves. The place is grand when you drive up. We had a scheduled wine tasting at 1145 am. We were handed a glass of white wine at check in. Promptly our wine guide introduced himself to us and escorted us to a waiting table in the tasting room. The tasting room is beautiful: light and airy with banquettes and tables for seating, and those windows. On our tasting menu were 3 wines, all Cabernet's of different vintages. While we were tasting, our guide gave us a charming telling of the impressive history of Robert Mondavi and the wineries of Napa valley. Very charming. And over the course of the tasting he brought out two additional wines for us to try. Afterward we walked the grounds. Very impressive. A very enjoyable experience.

    It's been nearly 20 years since we last visited the iconic Robert Mondavi Winery, but it reopened recently after having been closed for renovations for almost three years. When I read in the Chronicle that they now feature a food and wine tasting at noon, dubbed the Mondavi Table, we figured it might be good to return... and, boy, are we glad we did! The new facility is draw-droppingly beautiful and modern, with only the 70s-era arch and attached storage facility remaining. The three-course meal was outstanding, the views amazing, and the service impeccable. We will be back!

    What a beautiful property-just as I remembered it from my last visit decades ago. Why only 2 stars? I felt like a criminal walking in. Why? We were greeted by a woman shouting at us asking about our reservations (which we didn't have). So we were relegated to the small store/tasting area to the left and sternly told we are not allowed anywhere else on the property without lunch reservations. Ok then! We spent about a minute in the gift shop and left. Even if we wanted wine tastings, there wasn't anyone there to serve up some vino. Now I know. Now you know.

    My friend and I made reservations online weeks a head for weekday Estates Collection tasting. We e-bike there which was great. When we arrived there were plenty of bike racks to lock your bike up. The main building was beautiful, very open property, beautifully kept grounds. We were greeted and seated by 2 friendly hostesses Our table was on a spacious very relaxing patio with views. Perfect for wine tasting. Out tasting room host was very nice, very informative on the history and had some nice stories while pouring and explained each glass tasting. The wine itself was good, not my favorite though, but the whole experience was nice. I'm glad I went.

    Inviting space. The staff? Not so much.

    In a word, the Robert Mondavi Winery is pretentious. We arrived mid-afternoon on a Tuesday to find a sparsely populated parking lot and only two couples visible on the property at the entrance. Having been seeing the sights, we were dressed casually; not sloppy or too casual, but jeans, sneakers and nice shirts. We were immediately approached by an employee whose body language and tone seemed to imply we seems out of place. We were promptly told no tastings were available, but she would check to see if a club member tasting (we're not members) "might" be possible. She was gone for a while and we simply left. I've enjoyed the wines of this company, but the way we were treated here has turned me off the brand entirely. The property is very pretty.

    We came on a Saturday morning after booking the Estates Collection tasting for $65pp online. We were quickly seated with the option of sitting outside with a view of the vineyard or inside in the tasting room. It seemed like it was only half full when we arrived which was nice as it wasn't too crowded and we cold really enjoy the tasting with our server. The collection includes 4 set wines and we ended up getting 3 additional wines, including a sparkling rose, 100% cab, and a sweet white to end. It was a fantastic experience as our server was super nice and informative explaining us the steps to taste wine as we aren't big wine drinkers. She also asked us in the beginning what kind of wine we like to better tailor the tasting for us. By the end, I was definitely full of wine and ready for a walk as we didn't get any cheese or charcuterie to nibble on. The grounds are nice with the vineyards close by but there's really isn't much to see outside of the main tasting area. When we went, there also weren't any tours as they're planning to undergo renovations. Note: we heard that for the next 2 years, the tasting room will move to downtown Napa while they renovate this main location. Will definitely be a nice spot in downtown when that opens!

    Went with friends for wine tasting. Bucket list checked! We had a pleasant experience and when they found out we haven't seen each other for 25 years our first taste was upgraded to something off the menu. Place is beautiful!

    This was one of the places that we really wanted to see. Unfortunately we were not organized enough to get inside. They were having a moving sale on everything in the store. I would've asked where they were moving to but she never accommodated us. Even if I didn't make an appointment, I want to feel like you care about my business . There's still money to be made off of no appointment customers. The place is spectacular yet feels very cold .

    It was a last minute trip to Napa for the day and made the reservations online the day of. I'm so glad we chose this winery. Beautiful patio that looks over To Kalon vineyard. It's absolutely stunning on a clear, sunny day. But the main point of my review is for Doug! He made our tasting experience wonderful with his kindness and knowledge on how to drink your wine to better enjoy your tasting. He was very attentive and made our first visit to Robert Mondavi very pleasant. We can't wait to come back again.

    For years my family has loved getting Robert Mondavi wines from Costco whenever they become available, so when we had some time we decided to make our way to the Napa area and visit the winery. It was an awesome experience! We booked a reservation ahead of time for The Estates Collection which was $65 per person. For those who don't drink, there is a $25 charge and you get a choice of popcorn or nuts plus a non-alcoholic sparkling drink. We had a group of 6 (4 tasting) and received 4 wines each for the tasting. It was a bit cloudy when we arrived, but the sky started clearing up as we began our tasting experience. My group was seated indoors which was fine, though outside would've been so beautiful. All staff wore masks indoors and we got some awesome pictures outside after the tasting. Our server was Red, and she was so hospitable and knowledgeable about the different wines we were trying. She answered all our questions about the wines in great detail. All of the wines we tasted in the Estates Collection are sold exclusively at the winery. Our tasting was complimented perfectly by a salami charcuterie board. We started out with a chardonnay which wasn't too strong, but soon moved on to try red wines. The red wines were quite strong but had very fruity flavors which I enjoyed. My group briefly mentioned that we really like sweet wines and at the end, Red even offered us complimentary glasses of moscato. In the end, we received a form in which we could order wines that we tasted, plus more options. Besides the moscato, the chardonnay was definitely our favorite so we took a bottle home at a very reasonable price. Overall, this was my first experience wine tasting and I had a lot of fun while learning lots about different types of wine. I would definitely recommend this experience if you are ever in the Napa area.

    Ask the Community - Robert Mondavi Winery

    I will be going in the Fall and the person with me is a non drinker. Will he be allowed into the tasting to sit with me?

    Yes, when we were there, there was a couple with their son (not old enough to drink) sat with them while they did the tasting.

    I plan on biking to the winery, Is there a bike rack to lock your bike on while tasting inside?

    Can you enter the property just to take pictures and not do wine tasting?

    I believe you can it's a huge vineyard

    Can kids be on winery as adults do their wine tastings?

    Yes they can

    Can I bring my kitten?

    Probably not, FDA regulations will probably stop you from doing this.

    Do you serve wine by the glass or by the bottle? Or do you have to do a tasting? Do you have beer options for non-wine drinkers?

    Bottles to go but may not be drinken on premisis,beer is not served at the winery.

    Can we bring our own food and eat outside on the patio?

    No you can't

    Is this place dog-friendly?

    It is not unless your animal is a properly registered service animal. You have to remember they have rules under FDA about animals in areas which products are for human consumption.

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.
