The Greeter

"Judgment of Paris", it has been 50 years since this valuable and valid tasting occurred. It so happened to be when we are celebrating our 15th anniversary. This winery has been well noted as the premier "red" wine in the Stags Leap district. For over fifty years it has dedicated to great reds producing name. Cabs are well known in this region. We love this winery! First time here visiting though. Because, of the significant milestone. They were giving away free glasses of wine. The tasting room is very small but they do have private rooms available for reservations. We did not purchase this time. However, we may join the wine club very soon. Enjoy!

This is a very beautiful elevated winery. Their tasting room has floor to ceiling windows with views of the Fay & S.L.V. Vineyards. Their tastings start at $95 for 4 current release wines. I visited during their Napa Neighbors complimentary tasting for California residents. I very much appreciated being able to experience this winery during their promotion. I will note there is no welcome splash or offer to revisit any of the wines tasted. The pours were extremely small, so finished the tasting significantly under the time allotted for the reservation. I love stag leap area cab wine - they are rich and structured. I also appreciate an estate / single vineyard bottling. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a great recommendation for lunch in the area. Amazing Cabernet Sauvignon- we left with a bottle.

Don't mind my palm. I fell earlier on a hike. The SLV was omg!

This was our first wine tasting after a morning hike. The wines we tasted were all delicious. I'm not a white wine type but I even enjoyed it. I especially enjoyed the SLV. Pricy but it was good. Will have to wait for a special occasion to pop that bottle. The view was also gorgeous. They had huge windows so we were able to enjoy our flight and admire the view.

This was a lovely experience, The wine speaks for itself, so they sort of pour and then leave you alone to enjoy. The views are great too!

Tasty charcuterie plate that was served with the Estate Wine Tasting & Cave Tour. 2 people portion.

We are glad we chose Stag's Leap as one of the 4 wineries we visited during our Napa area stay. We two did the Estate Wine Tasting & Cave Tour. Very good, and we had a server, Julia, for just us two. The Cave Tour was interesting, in particular the pendulum installed in the cellars. The wines we tasted were excellent, and the cheese, sausage, dried fruit, and pickles that accompanied them were savory. Julia was attentive, and we enjoyed learning the history of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars and its vineyards from her. The experience started with a Cave tour with a glass of wine, and then a sit-down tasting in a room with a nice view of vineyards; in the room were several other groups of varying sizes, most had their own server.

Had a lovely time at Stag's Leap Wine Cellars thanks to their CA Resident Napa Neighbor Month offer in January. My husband and I enjoyed a complimentary Signature Experience where we tasted 5 wines. Inside the Cellars tasting room was comfortable seating and an incredible view of the Fay vineyard and Stag's Leap mountain. We were able to learn about their winemaking process and sustainable farming practices from our friendly and knowledgeable host.

If you enjoy red Cabernet Sauvignon wines, this is a great stop! Super neat to do the Estate Experience Wine Tasting and get to learn about the history of this winery in relation to the Judgment of Paris in 1976. The Cave dinner hall can be rented out for events and they let you walk through the cellar of lined wine barrels. Our wine guide provided excellent and personable customer service! This is a pricier vineyard stop in Napa and requires an advance reservation, however we thought it was worth it.

Four great years of the Napa friends trip. Lots of wineries to choose from and this one is my top 3 to visit. I enjoyed the scenery when we set food on the vineyard grounds all the way to our private room with a nice view of the winery. This Stag's Leap was the ultimate winery experience in taste of the wine lineup, the story of how this establishment started, and the many years and details they've dedicated themselves to the art of wine making. Of course my friends and I were one of the groups that went to the other Stags' Leap first and then made our way here. This winery by far was the best and all the wine selections given to us impressed us where several of us bought orders to gift our loved ones for the holidays. Simplistic, elegant, uniquely delicious, and a great visit for any experienced wine lover.

My mother and I came to Napa on a bucket list trip. This was our first stop of the trip, and it did not disappoint. We had a tasting with "Mo", who absolutely set the tone for the entire rest of the week. He taught us so much and shared the best wines we had and have ever tasted. Their Cabernet's are created with so much detail and science it is truly astounding. If you are a Cab lover, you HAVE to come here. We felt like from the moment we walked in the door we were treated like we were special and important. We were seated on a nice little couch and encouraged to get comfortable and relax. Such a wonderful experience. Mostly, we will never forget Mo. He truly made our whole trip. We want him to know how much we appreciate him. I am hoping to come back and visit him again someday.

I have been wanting to visit this place. I'll say that the view of the tasting room was absolutely gorgeous. I paid $204.73, full price including taxes, for a tasting for two. It was very informative but honestly didn't feel worth it. I did try one wine that I truly loved but I at the end of the day it just costs too much. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly.

It is a joy to be drinking out of these glasses, so clear, so thin
Sherprina L.

On a whim, we walked into Stag's Leap Winery. They didn't have any openings that day, so we were sadden, but they offered us a complimentary sample and let us sit outside in the warm sun overlooking the beautiful vineyard. We will definitely make a reservation to go back again!

The best wine and winery imaginable if you are a fan of cabernet. Stunningly beautiful setting. No room for another human on the 3:00 tour but not to worry. We were offered a fantastic wine to sample and, inevitably, we bought a bottle to accompany our Niku steak that we'll shop for later on in the week. I still plan to go on the tour and experience the tasting. Reservations should be made 48 hours in advance on their website.

Harold R.

The views and feeling you're outside while inside is unique. Unfortunately if you don't have a reservation this is taking a risk. I did not have one and only was able to have a couple glasses of wine poured by staff and walked around property. Not a very large tasting venue.

Indoors is beautiful

Tours and tastings are by appointment only. Call them at 707-226-8320 or email at…read moreinfo@hendrywines.com to schedule a tour. 21 years of age and over only. Not kid friendly. 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. Owner Comment - Congrats on your family's success since 1939 and congrats to this winery's success since 1992.

I would recommend making a reservation, but if you are walking in, it is still a lovely spot to stop by for a glass or even a bottle or two. You can enjoy the space indoors, outdoors, or simply walk around and take in the atmosphere. It is also easy to find, easy to park, and easy to enjoy. The service was great, and the sommelier was especially helpful in guiding us through the tasting options and helping choose a wine. We ended up getting a bottle of the Natural Wine Chardonnay, which was lovely. Honestly, I wish we had bought more. Overall, it was such a charming experience, and I am already excited to come back for a full tasting next time.

We had reserved the A&D Wine + Cheese tasting and were promptly sat with an area for the kids to run around. Wonderful to allow our pup to enjoy as well! Our servers were great with wonderful descriptions of each wine we tasted. They were quick and attentive without making us feel rushed. Allowed us to take our times tasting and enjoying the food and wine. The wine was EXCELLENT!!! I really enjoyed their V.1 and Napa Valley Cab but too be honest ALL were spectacular. Did take a V.1 to go because it was too good to pass up. Also the food was delicious too! They have a beautiful pizza oven out in the back and served one of the best sourdough focaccia breads I've ever had! Salty and crisp outside with fluffy, chewy, bouncy inside. We all enjoyed their quince jam and cultured butter spread on top. The goat Gouda was probably my favorite but all 3 cheeses paired well with the wines. Staff was great to help take our family pics in the vineyard as well. Small parking lot but easy to access the wonderful facility. Would love to come back!
