Visited this vineyard today and had a fabulous experience! The staff were so welcoming and friendly. The wines were excellent and the grounds are breathtaking and relaxing. Love that they take walking. I wish I'd gone earlier in the day to have more time there. read more

Def one of the pricier tastings but loved the tour of the wine vats and the oak barrel room. We were told Silver Oak really only has two reds which they work to perfect. It's a tasty, heavier cabernet sauvignon but still very easy to enjoy. We were offered a goat cheese and chutney bite to try the two wines with, which was a great little pairing. Following our 3 wine tasting at the table, we were taken over to tour the nice, cold room with the vats then ushered into a room full of casks that reminded me of a cedar closet. This one is a little bit off the main road and tucked away. Nice tasting room and a bit pricey ($70 for 3 glasses of cabs) but still a nice experience. Cute little picture op out front that looks just like their famous bottle label so don't forget to snap a shot. read more

Silver oak was a cool experience. We were able to walk the whole property pretty much. Learn about the history and fermentation process. They actually let you see (a vineyard) I guess they don't own the grapes that grow directly around them. But was able to hold and taste a grape off the vine. Loved that part. Our tour guide was fantastic. Answered all my annoying questions. Was a fun time with good wine being poured. Thanks you! read more

Did the $70 wine tasting at Silver Oak Winery and let me tell you--worth every penny. We spent a solid chunk of our day here and it was time very well spent. The vibes? Immaculate. The scenery? Jaw-dropping. Like, screensaver-level beautiful. Big shoutout to Kay, our host for the tasting--she was amazing! Super knowledgeable, welcoming, and made the whole experience feel like we were just hanging out with a wine-loving friend who happens to know everything about grapes. We sipped, we swirled, we pretended we knew what we were doing... and by the end of it, I couldn't resist grabbing a $100 bottle on promo. No regrets--it was absolutely delicious and now has a place of honor on my wine rack (until I cave and open it). Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for that perfect mix of classy, chill, and stunning. Will definitely be back! read more

What a stunning winery! The most beautiful, expansive grounds. Also impeccable hospitality from the moment we walked in. We had scheduled a tasting, which began with a tour. AMY IS THE BEST!! We learned so much from her and absolutely loved spending time with her. She felt like family by the time we left. She organized our tasting so we could compare different wines and ages, they were all phenomenal. We cannot wait to come back. read more

Whelp. We planned a stop here and called a few months before our visit asking for a tasting for 8 people. They suggested we just come in for a bar tasting without a reservation. Sounded easy! We arrived and hardly anyone here at 3:00 only to have them tell us we CAN'T do a bar tasting because they don't have a host for us. I said that this is what was suggested to us. Then we find that we can't keep the glasses anymore...which our one person in the group was pretty disappointed about. I guess this was better than the old days where they weren't open at all for Sundays. Well...maybe be not. I told the person who sold us two bottles to share that I wanted to buy wine. They just dumped us at a table with no price list and no direction. Good job Silver Oak! You win the Customer Disservice Award! Off to the next experience! Our driver definitely took note! This used to be our FAVORITE vineyard and fav wine! It's gone down hill pretty much every year. Or maybe we just evolved. read more

This was probably my most favorite tour of Napa so far. The tasting was informative and David was knowledgeable but approachable and friendly. We asked a lot of questions and he answered with a fun chipper and really made us feel welcome. There was a very very loud table of 12 next to us, we just beared it (the other table in our area left because it was too noisy). Can't fault the place because there was a loud party but it did kill the vibe a bit. That said, we carried on and he took us on a tour of the stills and the barrels and really left us happy. The package we got had a few tastings but there were many extra pours and splashes throughout. The grounds are very pretty too...I imagine just to chill on a lawn chair in the summer...will come back to try that. read more

What a beautiful winery! We had a wine tasting reserved at 1pm on a Monday for a large group of 23, and David was the sommelier that walked us through the property, talked about the history and making of the wine here, and guided us the entire time we were there. We tried two Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma ($100 per bottle) and Napa Valley ($200 per bottle), in addition to an older bottle from 2013 which was around $285 per bottle. They also gave us a tasting of Sauvignon Blanc from their sister winery called Twomey. Our wine tasting came with meat and cheese, and the truffle cheese was divine. The weather was perfect to sit outside and enjoy the view and wine. As a parting gift, David gave each one of us a Silver Oak glass. This winery only produces Cabernet Sauvignon so keep that in mind if you don't like red or a full-bodied wine, but otherwise, definitely recommend! read more

We had a reservation for their wine and food pairing event this weekend and were very excited about it, as we have been longtime fans of Silver Oak cabs. This was meant to be my Father's Day gift to my hubby. Unfortunately, due to changes to their kitchen staff, the event was canceled the week before. They contacted us to inform us of the event cancellation and offered us a complimentary tasting. We came for the tasting today, and we must say, the experience was exceptional; one of the best, if not the best, we've had in a long time. From the moment we checked in 'til the time we left, we felt very well taken care of. The person greeting us was very welcoming, friendly, and so apologetic about the event cancellation, which honestly, we didn't have an issue with, since things like this can happen. Our host was Sasha (I believe I have it correct). She gave us a tour of their winemaking facilities, then we were guided back inside to where we got seated in their beautiful tasting room, with beautifully decorated tables all set up. We were introduced to the Napa collection, and we were very happy about that, since we've always just had their Alexander collection up until today. We got to taste 5 different cabs, as well as a rose from their sister winery Twomey. There was not one cab we didn't like. We were also served a charcuterie board, which was also delicious! Sasha was very warm, friendly yet professional, attentive without being over-the-top at all. She came across very genuine and that was so refreshing to see. The atmosphere was elegant and refined, but not at all stuffy. We were made to feel quite comfortable. The grounds were beautiful also. And of course, the wines, well...it goes without saying, because we ended up purchasing 6 bottles. The total experience was absolutely enjoyable. Thank you, Sasha and Silver Oak, for making my hubby's Father Day weekend memorable. We will definitely be back soon! Please keep up the amazing work! read more

The views at this winery are simply amazing. They had some of the best views of any of the wineries we had been to. We had tasting reservations and the gentlemen that did our tasting was so kind and took the time to get to know us. He went above and beyond for us, and I am so sad I can't remember his name for the life of me. We really enjoyed our time here and would love to come back again someday. read more

The first vintage wine shared with the love of my life back in 1993 was a 1987 Napa Valley SO. He proposed to me in the SO winery in 2013 in reception area with a 1987 double magnum and on one knee! We shared that bottle with family and close friends the night before our wedding in April 2014. We never miss a stop at SO whenever we visit the Valley and have enjoyed being members since. Nostalgic, to say the least. read more

Came here for the 50th anniversary release party, which was different from last year's release party. The event overall seemed quite oversold, as the lines were all long for the food and wine, and there were not enough tables/chairs for people. My friend who is a member said that last year the event was free for members ($200/pp for 2022), there weren't lines for the food, and it was open pour last year (this year you were provided 5 tokens and a special gold one for the library wine). If you lost your token, you were out of luck. I did enjoy the live music. Note that there were tables in the field if you can't find any spots inside the winery. There were golf carts/jeeps taking you from the Uber drop off to the winery, or you can walk there. read more

What can you say about Silver Oaks? It's amazing. I have had their wines many times and even did a vertical tasting with the oldest wine being 1995. I really like it, so needless to say I was stoked to be able to come to their winery. The tasting was a standing tasting, which consisted on us walking up to the counter and served a couple of glasses of wine. Nothing fancy or special, the girl talked to us quite a bit about the wine and other things about wine and Napa in general, but for the most part, we just had a chill time having our glass of wine and walking around the grounds for a little bit. And of course, getting the iconic picture with the tower in the background. The grounds are beautiful. The scenery is amazing no matter where you stand. You have a great view of everything. If you are in Napa, Silver Oaks is a must visit winery read more

Next stop on my Napa trip was Silver Oak. The property was super nice and modern. It looked amazing, I would love to have an event here if I ever had the money (lol). I made sure to make a reservation, but it was pretty empty, so it felt like I had the place to myself. I would definitely ensure to make a reservation, there were signs that said that they only take reservations. I tried the tasting flight and it was delicious!! One of my favorite wineries in Napa. Huge shout out to our wine educator, Balkis. She knew so much about the wines and gave me tons of information. (Everyone that works at the wineries in Napa are SO nice! Must be the wine. LOL). She even gave us a couple of additional tasting based upon what we discussed. I ended up buying a couple of bottles. I definitely think that they were reasonably priced. I would definitely make Silver Oak a stop on your wine tour. read more

Wine was ok but pricey, rude customer experience, definitely great if you like being surrounded by snobby customers and staff

Silver Oak offers a fun yet refined tasting experience perfect for those who truly appreciate exceptional Cabernet. Our host, Tom, was knowledgeable and engaging, making the vertical tasting of the 2013 vs 2019 Alexander Valley and Napa Valley Cabernets both informative and enjoyable. We also sampled the 2020 Cabernet, which showed great potential, and their Timeless red blend--a standout with its depth and complexity. The wines are definitely on the higher end, but the experience, particularly for those who know their wines, is well worth it. A must-visit for any serious Napa enthusiast! read more

Absolutely enjoyed our visit to Silver Oak. It was a beautiful setting and exceeded our expectations in a seated tasting. We've done various tours and tastings around Napa and this is my favorite for sure. Kudos and thanks to our host, Mr. Greg Brown. He was outstanding. Knowledgeable, personable, fun and not the least bit pretentious. The wine was great and we really enjoyed being able to try the same vintage from Napa and Alexander Valley and then a different year from Alexander. Having all 3 at the same time is a GREAT way to smell and taste the difference. What a great experience. I highly recommend and I hope to be fortunate enough to return! read more

We went to Silver Oak this past weekend to do a tasting based off of recommendations from family members and it did not disappoint! We got there pretty much right when they opened at 10:30am and walked around the property prior to going inside for our reserved tasting. I believe you do need a reservation to do a tasting here. We booked ours about a month in advance. We were seated at an individual table with our host, Sierra, who walked us through the different wines and history of Silver Oak. Sierra was extremely welcoming and friendly! Based on the wines we liked, she brought out additional pours to try. Our favorite was the 2013 Alexander Valley - it was the best wine we tasted our entire trip! They also have a gift shop with extremely reasonably priced items. We had a lovely experience and will definitely be back the next time we are in Napa! read more

We always try to stop at Silver Oak when we're in Napa. We have plenty at home but always nice to stop in the winery. We were rushing at the end of the day to get in to at least browse the swag and made it 15 minutes before closing so had no expectations. Walked in, told us they were cleaning up and tastings were over. The nice attendant set 2 glassed in front of us and poured a single tasting of Alexander Valley and Napa for us to share. We thanked her profusely and talked with her about our views/impressions of both. What a great experience and so thankful for their customer attitude and service to cap off a brief stay in Napa to end the year! read more

Napa has changed, and unfortunately Silver Oak is another casualty. I've been visiting various wineries in Napa over the last 20 years and continue to see a steady decline which has been amplified by COVID. Silver Oak is one of the premium wineries in Napa Valley. They are in the Oakville region and produce both estate and Anderson Valley wines. There is decent parking on the property including some popular EV chargers. Wine tasting has changed over the years, so I had to make a reservation for a seated tasting on a busy spring Saturday. The estate is very attractive with great views of the vineyards and valley. Inside, the feel is very old world with dark stone rooms and high ceilings. I opted for the vertical Cabernet tasting which included tastes from 2012 to 2017. They were even accommodating with a Solo Red Cup for my spits! The overal tasting was just OK. I was seated in a large room with several other large groups. The tables and chairs are hard wood and rather uncomfortable for a long tasting. The hard surfaces in the room amplified the noise to more of a night club than intimate winery even with just a few guests. The wines were very good, however many of the wines were unavailable for purchase unless you want to buy giant bottles. One of the staff sat with me and gave me a good history of the winery and helped me with great service. Overall, Napa is hurting. Years of drought and fires have really hit the quality of the grapes. They are trying to use more tolerant varietals, but they just lack the traditional softer qualities of the Bordeaux grapes made famous by the region. The elites like Scarecrow and Screaming Eagle are also grabbing all the good stuff making even the fancier labels more and more average. Napa is also crowded and overpriced. There are equally fun options in Livermore, Lodi, and Amador with a better price point. Plus a lot of Oregon and Washington wines are nearing past Napa quality as well. Silver Oak is popular across the country with a good following and will likely satisfy the cravings of most visitors. There are better options in both Napa and other parts of California, but the winery is still a solid choice for your visit. Stick to the simple offerings and linger outside for the views! read more

I was a super fan for years! Until I can win for a tasting. Worst experience ever. We went here a while back and was being discriminated against with our service animal. They told us we needed to show proof of service animal certificate which does not exist. Had a birthday reservation and our friends surprised us with bottles they purchased as gifts. So the lady said we can get our gifts and leave but we can not do our wine tasting. Until I told her that this was unlawful and I would report them for discrimination that's when they decided we can come in which is an outside patio anyway?! Such a pretentious vineyard with pretentious staff. We have decided to go to Palmaz, Kenzo and Promontory. They have accommodated and exceptional service. Bonus is the wines are better than Silver Oak. We never went back since and never bought another bottle again. read more

We went on a Sunday morning and it definitely worth getting up early. Our server, Janna was fantastic. She explained all of the wines we were tasting and even gave us some history about the winery. She gave us space to try and savor the wines. After the tasting, she showed us the tanks and the barrels. She also gave us some wine glasses as a parting gift. I'd definitely recommend this winery! read more

We arrived earlier than our reservation time but they let us in early. John was our host/server. He was an older gentleman but very nice and super wise on the wine industry and Silver Oak. He has been working there for over 20 years. He sat down at our table taught us about the wines we were drinking and the history of Silver Oak. We had plenty of wine in our tasting. The wines were phenomenal! You definitely have to be a red wine and cab lover though. I normally don't purchase super expensive wine but I bought a $135 2007 cab. It is exquisite! Reseller value is higher too. Definitely recommend on your next trip to Napa. Pros: service, value for how many wines you get, taste of wine Cons: wish we could have saw the property more, it looked beautiful read more

She was not only warm and welcoming, but was also incredibly knowledgeable about both Silver Oak but also the entire Napa valley. While the wine delicious, it was Kay that made the experience truly memorable.

It was her thoughtful touches that made this more than just an ordinary wine tasting, but a memorable experience! read more
