Cute place to get a wine tasting! I loved how it was in nature and felt like a outdoor oasis. Good: - The cheese plate was delicious! - The wine + beer combo was so unique, I loved how the wines and beers paired well together and also had completely different tastes - The place is beautiful! - Loved how it seemed like the place was a mom and pop shop and it was so secluded in the middle of an urban neighborhood Bad: - Super busy despite not all the tables being full - Took a long time to get our food and drinks so the service is a bit slow but they were super nice about it Overall enjoyed this place a ton for the homey vibes. read more

Sudden trip to Napa, and really glad I happened upon this place! The employee who helped me was really knowledgeable and gave great suggestions based on my taste in wine. Had the opportunity to speak with the owner, and she was very kind and easy to talk to. Love the greenery for the outdoor seating, definitely a cozy place to spend a Sunday afternoon. Will be stopping by again whenever I find myself in the area. read more

There are countless things that make St. Clair Brown Winery & Brewery special. As a happy member, I can say all of their offerings are excellent--but it's their beer that I treasure most. Brewed with a focus on maltiness rather than heavy hoppiness, each sip is deeply satisfying. Typically, two beers are on tap, with additional selections available in 750ml bottles. For most of the year, the tasting room is set in a beautiful garden across the street from the production facility, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Whether you prefer beer or wine, you can enjoy it by the glass or as part of a tasting flight. (They also offer a menu of zero proof drinks.) A fun fact: the woman owner is also both brewmaster and winemaker! The setting, the libations, and the delicious house-made snacking menu bring me joy every time and serve as a reminder of how special life in Napa truly is. read more

I just enjoyed the May Rock Lager. What a delicious beer. Summer in a bottle. My daughter joined the beer club. Elaine you are the best brewer your beers are always balanced, tasty and just fun to drink. Thank you. Looking forward to the next delivery read more

We stumbled upon this winery & brewery while we were looking for another restaurant. It is such a sweet spot to spend a late summer afternoon. We ordered a flight that paired beer and wine. My favorite from the flight was their rosé, it was so good I ordered a glass. We had olives and hummus with crackers to snack on. Their hummus has lemon zest and ground peanuts instead of tahini paste in it. The flavor was great with our wine & beer flight! We sat outside in a lush edible garden that some of our snacks were grown from. Like our water, which had a combo of snapped citrus leaves in it. I have never appreciated how fragrant citrus leaves are until then! Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable about their menu and the robust flavors we were tasting. I would definitely return to this beautiful garden for wine, beer and snacks! Cheers read more

Easy street parking and very friendly staff. The wine is more on the acidic side, which is not something we particularly preferred. The zero proof beverages I would describe as kombucha. I'm glad I tried the flight, but it would probably switch one out for a lemonade next time! They normally hold their tastings in a garden, but once it gets windy, they will serve you at their cellar. read more

St Clair Brown Winery & Brewery - Wine and zero proof tasting - Breweries Near Me - Napa, California

A hidden gem This place was highly recommended by my friend who lives in Napa and has worked in the wine industry. The tasting room is outside in a beautiful edible garden across the parking lot from the brewery. When I arrived, I was seated in a shady corner of the garden, where they grow many of their own ingredients. It was the perfect place to sit and enjoy the smells of the summer afternoon. The outdoor space is gorgeous and arranged so that every table has shade. My server, Cara, was wonderful. I asked for her recommendations and she planned a masterful tasting for me. She started with me with a pair of white wines, a subtle sauv blanc and buttery chardonnay. The next pair was unexpected, and by far my new favorite thing, a rose alongside their red ale. They are both exceptional, especially between bites of the fig olive tapenade (HIGHLY recommend). The last pairing was their merlot and syrah, which I had with the delicious pork rillette. For a sweet finish, I tried the non-alcoholic peach lavender switchel. Overall, 11/10! Cara was able to answer all my questions and teach me a bit about everything I tried. I highly recommend St. Claire Brown for wine and beer connioseours alike, they truly excel at both. This would be a great place to take a group of friends where everyone can enjoy everything in a beautiful oasis hidden just up the street from downtown Napa. read more

This is a unique experience. It's one of the only, if not the only place around that is a brewery and winery. They are vegan friendly and earth friendly. They grow so many things here and they have a beautiful little space to enjoy it all. The menu is creative and the food was delicious. We didn't have reservations this time but they sat us anyways and were super delightful. If you're in Napa and looking for a different experience, this is your place. read more

I LOVE St. Clair Brown! I tried out this urban winery & brewery from personal recommendation and let me tell you, I immediately joined and had a special event there! Aesthetic - 10/10 Such a beautiful urban garden right in downtown Napa. There is something so calming about sipping on your glass of wine (or beer) while smelling basil and admiring beautiful fruit and vegetables growing all around you. The greenhouse is definitely my aesthetic and I recommend this hot spot to everyone who comes in town! Staff - 10/10 I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff at St. Clair Brown is. It is so heartwarming when you see similar faces at each visit and they start to recognize you and catch up, so personal! Everyone is passionate about their beverages and so knowledgable. Wine, beer, mocktails, and food - 10/10 There has not been a single wine or beer that I have tried here that I have not loved (and I consider myself to be quite picky, especially with white wines). We are members here now because we love the benefit of coming in for a glass of wine on the weekends and their 2 bottles every other month is so approachable and a fun reminder to come visit. It's also hard to find a cute spot in Napa that covers wine and beer so well so you can really please the whole crowd! We even have a lavender lemonade lover in our house who begs to visit on the weekends! When in downtown Napa, keep St. Clair Brown on your shortlist to visit! read more

Napa is wine country and the town is chock full of tasting rooms. This one is different. It's *outside* and on a warm late autumn afternoon, it was nice to sit in their outside space and enjoy a wind down before working on dinner. My friend is a member here and so we got the member price. That's a nice discount over what is otherwise a not-inexpensive tasting. Fabulous service and a friendly host who poured, explained and gave us the wonderful history of this space. I went with the beer sampler and because they only brew small amounts, your options may change from week to week. Today, a Kölsch-style ale, a Märzen and a Brown ale. All delicious. With it, we enjoyed their hummus with house-made crackers. Delightful with a lemon zest mixed through, it went well with the beer. Sitting in a garden with a citrus tree, fresh herbs and a big lavender bush, you can almost not be in downtown Napa. [Review 21017 overall - 533 in California - 2002 of 2023.] read more

This is a cute little winery/brewery. Love options especially, if someone your with loves beer more than wine. Sitting area is outside; immersed around the gardens. You can see the vegetation growing around you. Glass of wine is pretty pricey averaging around $20. Beer tasting average $25. The staff is very friendly and you can tell workers love what they do. Limited snack options for food; if there were more food options I could have sat there all day. read more

What I thought was neat: -Possibly the only place that serves both beer and wine in Napa -Big open tasting room -I like that they serve food here and zero proof drinks too What I wasn't crazy about: -Server was very polite but it really seemed like she was the only one working there. (We were here with a party of 16 and there was at least 20 other people hanging out there.) She worked very hard but the short staffing made service very slow. -Really damn cold in here. I appreciate them placing space heaters but I nearly needed to sit on top of one to be comfortable. read more

Most idyllic little escape from the bustle of downtown. Their Sauvignon blanc was delicious and we also enjoyed their switchel flight. It is lovely that many of their ingredients are sourced from their own gardens. read more

This was a cute space that allowed for reservations within 24 hours. We were staying in Vallejo so it's fairly close considering the distance to other venues and was worth the 30 min drive. Aiden (sp?) was hosting us and was extremely informative! We appreciated learning about how our wines were made and how they differed from other wineries in the area. I'd keep this venue in our back pocket. I can see it expanding. read more

Saxton our wine host was more than great but awesome. We enjoyed the tasting room downtown. Make a reservation before coming a few days in advance. The wine tasting patio was full on a Saturday. Saxton was enthusiastic, friendly, intuitive, interested, and knows his wines. We could tell he loves food and wine. It shows. He shared the history of the wines, where the grapes are sourced and shared his favorites and why with us. He is personable and natural yet professional and down to Earth. We loved our host. The owner Clair Brown was on site with a smile to welcome guests at the bar when you check in. It made the experience more intimate knowing the wine maker is in the house! She is apparently the first female wine maker with a viticulture major educated at a local UC. St Clair is known for their Red, the most known being their Syrah. It's laid back , balanced, smooth and more food friendly than other Syrahs. It is a very friendly wine. You aren't forced to pair this one with bbq or chops. It isn't exploding with sweetness ,with spices , or overly tannic. In that way it is unique in its own right. The outdoor tasting garden patio is situated across its warehouse on the opposite corner ;it's dog friendly and kid friendly. I highly highly recommend St. Clair. Their wines are not widely distributed so when you buy you know it's not available all over the globe or even at other local wine distribution centers or establishments. Go ! read more

This review is for wine tasting but at the St. Clair Brown "cellar." We scheduled a wine tasting here because they are a dog friendly winery and we had our pups with us. While it was a cool sunny winter day, we (and the dogs) were dressed for the cooler weather. We fully expected to be seated outside in the garden but upon arriving a sign by the garden said that the wine tasting would be indoors at their "cellar" across the street due to the day's temperature (mid 50s). The "cellar" was really their indoor brewery location where they had a handful of tables inside and two small tables just outside the door. The brewery was sparse and had an industrial vibe. It didn't feel like a place to have a wine tasting. Dogs were allowed inside but we chose to sit outside at one of the two small tables. Our server was very nice and provided great service. She was knowledgeable about the small boutique winery. The pickled persimmons were great. Overall, the experience wasn't bad, but it was disappointing to have the tasting at their "cellar" (brewery) rather than at their normal outdoor garden and greenhouse. The garden looked well kept, and nice. It didn't feel like we got the true experience which we were hoping for. Had we known beforehand that the tasting would be at the brewery, we might have gone somewhere else but the wine tasting reservation requires prepayment. If you book a wine tasting here on a cool day, just be aware that they may move the tasting indoors to their brewery rather than at their nice outdoor garden. read more

My husband and I absolutely love this place. We went earlier this year I believe and their brewery was open, but not the garden. We still had a great time inside and had a couple of red ales and a cheeseboard. Caitlin was amazing and recommended some other stuff for us to try. We ended up leaving with a bottle. We came back a couple weeks ago for the Fourth of July to enjoy the gardens with my family and we were amazed how gorgeous it was especially with the little open air garden house. Caitlin hosted our wine tasting again and we had so much fun. We enjoyed the shade and the breeze and she even let us taste this licorice tasting plant. Highly recommend this friendly, good vibes women owned winery/brewery! read more

My daughter and I completely enjoyed our wine tasting adventure at St. Clair Brown's. It was the highlight of my trip to Napa. The atmosphere and mediterranean style garden (by the summer tasting room) was charming. It reminded me of the trellis and citrus gardens in Italy. Once inside the winter tasting room, I enjoyed the hint of freshly cut herbs. Our host Aidan was excellent. He helped us choose different tasting selections and delicious appetizers, so we'd have more to taste. Best of all was his poetic description of each wine, which greatly enhanced the tasting experience. The true test was that it's the best tasting wine of any place we visited. It's so good that it is the only place that I bought a bottle of wine from. Thank you again to the whole staff at St Clair Brown Winery. read more

We were greeted by the owner of this place and she walked us through their offerings. The zero proof tasting was phenomenal. Outside of their menu, they had a pb and j special made with cashew butter, marinated nectarine slices and sliced Acme bread. I loved every bite of it. The ambiance is nice and i like that they are self sustainable. I would definitely visit this place again when I'm back in Napa. read more

I love that this place is run by two women and everything is produced locally! I had a reservation on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. They have patio seating next to their garden and a parking lot as well. We did the wine tasting that had two whites and two reds. I'm typically more of a red fan, but my favorite was the Chardonnay! We also got the cheese board because who can resist cheese?? The rose jelly was such a treat and I loved all of the cheeses as well. They said they had to go containers if necessary, but we finished it pretty quick. After the wine tasting, they asked if we wanted to revisit anything and I was able to try one of their beers! This would be a nice place to come for a glass or two and some snacks if that's possible. read more

Urban winery and brewery at its finest. The outdoor patio area is nice and your surrounded by their homegrown herbs/spices. Appointments are easy to make via telephone or email. Though they take about a day to reply to email. Wine tasting was $35 and the beer flight was $15. From the wines I liked the rosé the best. The beers were all light and crisp. Much needed on a summer day. The server was really attentive and nice. All of the tables are spread out for social distancing. Not too far of a walk from downtown. read more

Lovely atmosphere, super chill. Amazing service! Thanks Saxton! We got the wine tasting option, the cheese board, and also the lavender bergamot lemonade. The cheese board came with 3 types of cheeses, rose jelly, pistachios, and crackers. The lemonade tasted great, it wasn't too tart and has a nice lavender taste that's not too overpowering. The merlot was so good we had to get a bottle to go. Their wines are also not widely distributed, so if you enjoy their stuff, make sure to order a few bottles! They are also dog friendly! read more

What do you do while sitting inside miserably on a sunny day? Reminisce on better times of wine drinking and hummus-eating in Napa, of course! I had bookmarked St Clair Brown because the wine looked yummy as did the eats. What I didn't realize is that this place would be so much cuter in person! It is a beautiful garden which they tend to diligently - actually they were working on it while we were there. The only disappointment was that I was hoping to try the Moscato, but it wasn't the season quite yet. Also for some reason I thought the hummus would come with some bomb bread, but it was only crackers. The crackers were really good though, and this is coming from someone who is not a cracker girl. The menu is not the largest because they seem to focus more on quality and freshness. We ordered the hummus because, interestingly enough, it is made with peanuts. The texture is a little different, although I was surprised it wasn't reminiscent of peanut butter at all (which is how I expected it to taste). They drizzled some lemon olive oil on top. Also, the large man with his adorable small dog (with a big personality) was the cherry on top the experience. This is a good place to grab a glass of wine with friends or even study. We witnessed someone doing some work here. I am not sure I would be able to concentrate with all the interesting ongoings. TLDR; cool spot. read more

Everything was perfect from the wine tasting to the delicious farm to table food and the ambience. Highly recommend! Will definitely return when visiting this area again. So good! We tried the wine tasting sampler, cheese board, pork rillette, pj special with walnut bread, citrus pistachio bark, and lavender bergamot lemonade. 5 out of 5! read more

After going to two wonderful wineries earlier in the day, during our day trip to Napa, I can assure you that we had very high expectations. We found this little place on a spur of the moment while attempting to book same day tasting for 9 people (talk about a mission). We booked and afternoon tour which would end our Napa trip, which was ultimately one of the best decisions we have ever made. We arrived at St. Claire's and we were immediately welcomed by Lisa. She advised that since we had made two separate reservations that the tables were separated; however, she quickly accommodated us. After sitting us down and confirming our tasting, the experience begun. We were treated to some of the best tasting wine I have ever had pleasure of having. Every single note, paring, and history was explained to us by Lisa. She told us the story about how she's a wine club member, turned groupie, turned helper during her Saturday, just because of how passionate she is about how the owners are changing the wine industry! She was the most sweet and kind person we could've encountered! Her presence and service made our entire experience. We came for the wine, but left with the most wonderful memories of our time with Lisa during our visit! P.s. try the moscat! It is the most wonderful and delicate finishing wine! You won't regret it!! read more

We visited during a weekend d stay to celebrate our daughter's birthday. She moved to Napa a year ago and found At. CLAIR Brown's. Glad she did, because our tasting as absolutely fantastic. The whole experience was exceptional. The beers & wines we tasted, olives, Roasted almonds and chocolate pairings were amazing. And, Lisa (and ALL the people) are exceptionally knowledgeable. Additionally, they are extraordinarily nice and not condescending at all. A delight to learn, taste and socialize! Highly recommended! PS. a bonus, if you are local, you can sign up for their club (as our daughter has) and get lots of bonuses. read more

What a wonderful experience! Our server was excellent, thank you Emma! We did notice the other server, didn't get his name but also provided great service. The beer flight was excellent! Pair the chocolate with the Oatmeal Stout, you'll thank me later. We also enjoyed the cheese plate, the hummus and the pork & fig plate. All very tasty and a good value. Every thing at St Clair Brown was an eclectic array of wines, beers, food and amazing service. This is a must visit in Napa! We will be back! read more

I'm not sure who St. Clair Brown is, but I imagine she must be pretty rad to have this awesome spot named after her. I wanted a glass of wine outside in Napa and didn't want to break the bank to do it. So I ventured out of Downtown to this little gem. The area around it isn't much and feels a lttle industrial, but it makes the lush garden here feel like an actual oasis. Outdoor seating only, so definitely hit this spot when it's nice out. I walked in to the smell of rosemary and grabbed a spot right under a big tomato plant. When my burrata and tomatoes came out, I learned the tomatoes came from the vine I was sitting in under. Talk about eating local! The bread was also locally sourced and the burrata was so smooth and creamy. Just a perfectly refreshing and delicious meal. I complimented my lunch with a glass of the Chardonnay. The very nice woman working that day gave me a splash of it before I committed and it was an instant hit for me. It somehow at the same time had both subtle and obvious Chardonnay-esque flavors, so I could see it being enjoyable whether you love or hate Chardonnay (but let's be real - if you hate it you're wrong). Honestly sad I don't live closer. Would love to try their beer (the flight is a great deal!) And check out their garden music series. This would definitely be a mainstay for me on nice days if I lived in Napa, and I'll for sure keep it in mind for future visits! read more

I came to napa for 3 days and it was filled with multiple winery tours and tasting experiences. However everyone I was with said that hands down the best experience of the trip was actually at St. Clair Brown. The service was above and beyond- they included us in the "blessing of the grapes", brough us fresh tomatos and strawberries from the garden, and created a truly wonderful experience. Shoutout to Aidan and Caitlin! It was clear how much passion and love they have for this business and they helped us love it too! read more

AMAZING! Loved the service, food, drinks and atmosphere. We walked up 11 mins after opening and got a table. Lucky for us because we didn't have a reservation. I'm not 100% certain if you need one every time, but they for sure asked if we had one. The host was nice enough to get us in not even a 5 min wait. The whole place is surrounded by lemon/ lime trees, cherry tomatoes, flowers, squash. It was a green house out there and it was shaded and relaxing. The service was great. They were informed, nice, not pushy or anything. I loved loved loved the muscat wine, which was part of the wine flights. Really good stuff! And the special we got was there version of pb and j. It was all handmade and presented nicely. The peanut butter was really smooth I think it was almond, peaches cooked in rosemary and vegan bread. I will be back for sure! Thanks for a good time and good wine! read more

They now offer wine and beer tasting. We were seated in the edible garden (next to a lemon tree). It was perfect. The sun was shining and we had a nice shady yet warm seat. The seats aren't too comfortable. Metal chairs with short backs or a wooden bench with no back- all depends on the size of your group. We tried the cheese tray with hummus. There was also a taco truck outside which you can order from and eat on premises of St. Clair Brown. Always a lovely experience here a true gem. read more

Had the most FABULOUS experience with Katelyn. The garden itself is lovely and you can just feel the love that's been poured into this establishment. Katelyn explained that everything in the garden was edible, even the little red flowers. I ate one and I actually ended up eating a few more as they tasted like jicama. We ordered the beer and wine tasting and enjoyed both. For beer, the Marzen was my favorite and for wine the muscat was my partner's favorite. All In all a beautiful experience on a beautiful day. This is the perfect place for a relaxing Sunday afternoon. Thanks again Katelyn for the great time read more

We had an amazing time here! Really lovely garden, winery, and brewery in downtown Napa. The property is really small, but very well-maintained. It's all outdoor seating in the garden surrounded by the vegetable garden and lemon trees. The scenery was really beautiful with the string lights. Also, it's dog friendly! One thing to note about the location: it's a little out of the way from the main area of Napa, but not as far as the wineries. We were staying at the River Terrace Inn, and it was conveniently across the street. If you're closer to Main Street, you'll probably want to drive or Uber. They have their own parking lot. Also, another note: you definitely need a reservation! We grabbed the last available slot on Friday at 4:30 PM. You get 90 minutes, which is more than enough time. The server we had was very friendly and super knowledgeable about wine. He told us that this winery/brewery is very unique since it produces both wine and beer, which is unusual for Napa. We focused on wine only and got the "range" wine tasting flight which is $40 per person. They also have a beer flight for $18. They waive the tasting fees if you buy $100 worth of wine or beer. One thing I definitely have to commend this place for is the heavy pours! We were pretty buzzed when we left since the pours were so generous. We ended up leaving with a bottle of the Sauvignon blanc, the Zinfandel, and a bottle of red ale. read more
