    Loooved lounging on their comfy couch buzzed after a few pours. Comfy table and couch setting with our charcuterie board, name card, glasses and spectacular views. Loved that it's hidden in the hills and wasn't swarming with visitors, so we could relax peacefully minus the noise. It was great that other tasters were spaced out so we didn't have close convos distracting us. That's the appeal of smaller wineries vs. the giants that have everyone packed in like sardines, not comfy at all! Wasn't blown away by any of the wines, but appreciated Mark very much who was very well-spoken and pleasant. He didn't rush us and was very accommodating as I had a wine novice with me visiting Napa for the first time. She enjoyed the semillion and took a bottle home with her. All in all, we had a great time. Just wish it wasn't so hot on that late summer day!

    We had a beautiful time on Shadybrook Winery! Our host Luis was fun and personable, and made us feel welcome immediately. I was unaware when booking our reservation that Shadybrook and Rapp Ranch are on the same property, but it made for such a fun tasting; my friend and got to experience one tasting of each (Shadybrook and Rapp). Both tastings were excellent and the cheese plate with our naes on it was just stunning. I did list in our reservation details that one of us was a vegetarian, and they made sure to acknowledge that. The view was stunning and Luis gave us a wonderful lowdown of the property, the climate, the soil, and how they all affect the wines. My friend and I came on a weekday morning so we had the entire place to ourselves, and Luis spent so much time talking with us; we had such a wonderful experience. Thank you, Luis, from these two New York gals :) I would love to come back because they have horseback rides!

    My gf and I had a very lovely experience doing wine tasting thanks to our server, Pedro, who was nice and friendly to us. We had a great time at the lounge and we loved the wine and charcuterie. The view was amazing. Highly recommend!

    Absolutely stunning location for a post-wedding wine tasting! Came here to celebrate my cousin and her husband. There was a charcuterie board, a tasting of 5 wines from lightest to richest (white to red), cornhole, and and several standing tables. I wish there was more coverage from the heat and a refill of the charcuterie board, but besides that, no complaints. The staff was nice and open to answering questions about the wine process; you'd have to ask since they're busy attending to everyone's drinks. I really enjoyed their red blend.

    Thank you to Kerri for a fun wine tasting experience. We enjoyed her knowledge and personality! The tips she gave us were wonderful. We left feeling so happy with the entire experience. The wine was so yummy we bought a red and white wine!

    Check in for horses

    We enjoyed the horse back riding plus wine tasting experience , a five star experience.! The staff is best, super helpful and friendly. Definitely check this place out for a good time in Napa.

    View looking out from the barrel room.

    In short, everything was amazing. Food service and ambiance. It was a wee bit of a challenge to find, but that was probably on me. Can't wait to go back.

    Amazing wines with topnotch service to match. Booked a tasting at Shadybrook Estate and we enjoyed every minute of it. I love that it's close to downtown, but felt like you were elsewhere. The property is beautiful and I can't wait to visit again!

    Are there sweet wines?

    Our Shadybrook Estate & Rapp Ranch wines do not have any residual sugar nor would they be considered "sweet". However, they are rich with ripe fruit and have a softer mouthfeel, so they are very juicy and refreshing.… Read more

    Are they pet friendly?

    We are unable to accommodate anyone under the age of 21, including infants and children. Pets are not allowed on premises. (Service Animals in Service Vests Approved)

    Can you buy a bottle to enjoy the grounds vs a tasting?

    I want to say yes you can... but I'm not completely sure. I would call them to ask? They may have different rules. But I do know that we bought a bottle towards the end of our tasting and he did ask if we wanted to open it to enjoy it and we said no.

    Can someone under 21 go?

    I would assume yes because they offer horseback riding. I would call first though to confirm.

But dog friendly. Quality/Quantity - I had a hard time with the website making my appointment, it's a user issue as I am just not tech savvy. So I called and someone actually answered the phone and made my appointment for me, THANK you! We arrived 15 mins early, so we hung out in the lobby reading all the history, etc. Then Skip took us to the best view overlooking the vineyard for our tasting; see pictures! We sampled almost ALL the reds! All of which were good. See pictures. I like the fact that we did side by side tastings of many of his wines. My favorites were the 2022 Primitivo and 2021 Malbec, which we bought a few bottles of. Ambiance - Secluded private winery. Close to main Downtown Napa, but far enough away for privacy and a feeling of being far away. Appointment only, so very private and customer focused. Typically no more than 3 parties at a time. Today was considered a very busy day as there were 4 parties including us, lol. Gated private estate. 200 acres. Plenty of parking, especially since hosting only 3 guests at a time. Events - See their website. Well behaved dogs are allowed outdoors. Service - Skip is a history buff and we both talked for hours... After leaving, well really the next day (LOL), I realized that our tasting was supposed to be only 60 minutes. I guess because we got along so well, we stayed until closing! And he gave me a glass with a generous splash and let us walk the property alone after they left! So welcoming and trusting. Price - Depends on which tasting and what you buy; see their website for prices. Tastings range from $50 to $100 per person. One free designated driver allowed. Tasting fees waived with wine equivalent purchases. Hike tours $75 per person ($60 for club members). See their website for more information.

My husband and I were able to call ahead and schedule a very last-minute tasting, and from the very beginning, the hospitality was exceptional. I work in the wine industry on the retail side in Texas, while my husband does not, so creating an experience that feels both educational and approachable for both of us is not always easy. Steve absolutely nailed it. He welcomed us warmly, shared thoughtful stories about the wines and the winery, and made the experience feel incredibly personal. The tasting room itself is beautiful and feels like a hidden gem in Napa. We especially loved learning about the wines and the woman winemaker behind Levendi. The tasting was stunning from start to finish. What truly sets Levendi apart, though, is the level of hospitality. Since our visit, I have referred many of my favorite clients to Levendi, and Steve consistently goes above and beyond for them. He bends over backwards to make sure my customers are taken care of, and every single person I've sent has come back raving about their experience. At this point, a trip to Napa would not feel complete without a stop at Levendi. I honestly cannot imagine Napa without Levendi -- or Steve. If it's your first visit, do yourself a favor and try the Stagecoach. You won't be sorry.

Shortly after, her husband (and the winery's owner) Adam walks up with their daughter and asks us how we're doing. We continue to be starstruck. Service was wonderful. Seating was comfy. The views weren't the best (we were drinking on the sidewalk and there's a parklet too.) The 5 wines for $29 was not bad, but the size of the pours was lacking. The first pour was the smallest and then slowly they seemed to give us more (maybe they heard me!) Honestly, the pricier wines tasted better. I wish our wine tasting could've been free if we bought two bottles or something--I would've done that! Cute merch and store with goodies inside. Bathroom is clean. Would be back!

Frank was also extremely friendly and welcoming . Ray and Frank are knowledgeable and dedicated. It is definitely laid back and not high pressure. Just friendly and shoot the breeze vibes. Note that this winery sources it's grapes from elsewhere mostly in the Napa area and they focus on wine making. There isn't a large mansion, expansive grounds or caves to tour. This is a winery if you're interested in the wine label itself not a vineyard tour. We are impressed by the wines and enjoyed almost all of them. They are reasonably priced for wine purchase though I'm not used to paying $75-150 per person for tastings during the almost post pandemic Napa climate though I understand the price increase. . The wines range from $25-75 which is not considered over the top in Napa. We enjoy Saxum wines ( $100 to $500) very very occasionally and I would consider that high end , so Vinoce is definitely not on the high end in terms of price nor overpriced for their wines.
