We had a fantastic time at Tank. Nick poured for us and he was very informative and made our experience very delightful. The wines were great and the atmosphere was unique and very memorable. read more

Hannah and Alyssa were amazing. My partner and I were visiting the area for the weekend and Tank looked like the least pretentious winery in the area, so we gave it a shot We were NOT disappointed. A cozy tasting room, with intimate seating and a really fun selection of wine unlike anything I've ever had. I see a couple of reviews here complaining about party size limits and the timing of final tastings. I unfortunately witnessed the same level of entitlement from a group of 13 people who came in asking to be seated 45 min before closing. First, read the web site. Tasting room rules and requirements have been changing since COVID. This should be nothing new. It was kindly explained to the large group that the tasting room was full, that they only accept small parties, and the last tasting is at 4 pm. Once, that detail was explained to one person in the group, another would ask the same questions and would receive the same answer. Hannah politely declined THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE in the group before their final entitled and 'intimidating tactic': asking Hannah or Alyssa if they were the owners (they are not). The woman declared "we're all business owners and we wouldn't turn away a party of 13 people that could bring money into our business". Good for you, 'Susan'! Tank employees are purely following their business policy, which is clearly stated on their web site and don't run your business. Her final intimidation tactic was to ask for the owner's information-- which she didn't take--and the group finally left. Good riddance. Tank is NOT the winery for you, Other than the experience of yet another group of entitled wypipo ruining the tasting experience of those of us already there, we had a wonderful experience, bought a membership, and will be back again. This is the atmosphere and environment that my partner and I enjoy with the types of kind and knowledgeable employees we love who will smile through all types of garbage shoveled at them with no problem. If folks complaining about arbitrary things had othered to look at the website for specifics, perhaps they'd move on instead of trying to intimidate their way into another situation read more

Tank is not yo mamma's wine club, except my mamma would LOVE this place and their people. Exceptional customer service. Inspiring vibes and interiors. And an ethos I can get behind. We love you, Tank. We will be back! read more

Stopped in yesterday and just had very awkward service. The host sat me down without explaining anything, served me room temperature white wine, never checked on me, I even had to ask what his name was because he didn't introduce himself.... and no, he didn't ask mine back or if I had any questions. There was a nice lady who greeted and sat other guests at a table nearby who gave a far more welcoming introduction and explained the history of Tank as I could only overhear, far better as a host and I'm sure is what this business' standard for customer service is. Even when it came to paying, he took my card and when I'd asked where I could tip he said "no it's just a glass, you're good" and walked away. Even other patrons laughed at how stoic my time there had been. read more

This place is so fun! This has connections with James Cole and the labeling to wine and names of the wine are risqué and bold. The staff was super friendly and chilled out. They had our name on a chalk board to welcome us. They were so good about sending reminders via text. The vibe of this place is super chic and cool. It's the Trader Joe's of wines - you might not find the same wine when you come back again. The red blends were amazing - I got 2 of them that I really enjoyed - Expression Sound and Flesh x Stone. It looks like a causal place but they are fun and serious about their red blends. read more

I made a reservation for my birthday weekend for just my girlfriend and I. We were greeted by Hannah and she sat us down even though we were 30 minutes early. She was very friendly and knew a lot about the wine selection we had. She talked us through the blends they chose, the regions the grapes are from, and the flavor profiles that come through. She even explained their graphic designs on the bottles and the history of the establishment and its decor. They were unfortunately out of the charcuterie boxes but the chips she offered us instead were actually very delicious and paired quite well with the wine we had. Truthfully, out of the four wines we tasted, we did not find one specifically that really nailed our palate. They were very refreshing and there weren't any BAD wines, but just none we wanted to take home with us. I would be open to trying more at a later date and see if there is one for us. The vibe that they have curated at their location is immaculate and honestly would bring me back just because of that alone. Although we didn't leave with any wine, we did buy some merch. Like I said before, we would love to come back. read more

Tank Garage Winery - Wineries Near Me - Calistoga, California

Unique and quirky in all the best ways. Tank Garage Winery is, in fact, in a converted old gas station garage, which perfectly illustrates Tank's creative and un-standard view on wine and how to present it. They have 30 different types of wine in circulation at a time, but once it's gone, it's gone, so any time that you visit, you're bound to find something fun and new to try. Our tasting was amazing, and our serviceman was a GEM and super knowledgeable about the wine, the story, and just a general great conversationalist. It was my husband's birthday, and they made it extra special. LOVED our experience, and we can't wait to come back and bring friends! read more

Tank Garage is located downtown Calistoga and offers a 5 wine tasting menu. The first four are set ahead of time but the last taste is dealer's choice based on what your regular drinking preference is and what you gravitated toward in the beginning part of the tasting. We met with Conory who was a fabulous host! He had great knowledge about their wine making process, stories about where the label inspiration came from, and what notes to pick out when tasting. While the wines were good, they weren't enough for me to leave raving about the experience. Also, their wines change weekly/monthly. While this may be a perk to some as you won't often taste the same thing, this left me questioning quality. Either way, Tank Garage came highly recommended by many people! This truly was a great experience just not my type of experience. read more

It's no lie when they say they have some cool wines, this place is dope. A very hip and cool place to taste some delicious wines. My husband and I stopped in for their lubrication tasting. Make sure you make a reservation, the place is small and looks like it gets packed very quickly. Our server was very sweet and when I told her I mainly liked white wines she made sure to accommodate my tasting to mainly whites. I tried the "pinks not dead ", " the impossible" , " the big tings" and then she added a red which was very light and good but I can't remember the name. I loved the white wines so much , their labels are so fun and unique looking and the flavor was unlike anything I had tried so I purchased 3 bottles to take home. I took them cross country back home. There's a lot of photo opportunities here and it's a great ambiance. Definitely check them out! read more

Had an awesome tasting at Tank, great guidance and very yummy wines, well worth the visit!

Not your typical wine tasting location in Calistoga. This wasn't my first time here, years ago they had a Napa/Calistoga wine passport and I remember coming here, we thought it was pretty cool being an old gas station, they have a bar tasting area and another room all indoor and refreshing from being outside. They have a pinball machine inside too. We were staying in Calistoga and stopped by here after lunch. We drank a lot earlier that day so we just ordered a glass each and just chilled before our drive back to the bay. The servers were great, the wines were really good chilled and refreshing. They had really cool names for their wines and bottle labels. There were parking spots up front and it's next to a town area where you can park and walk by distance. read more

From the moment I called Tank Garage Winery, I knew this place was special. Despite it being a last-minute request on a busy Friday, they welcomed us with kindness and made it happen without hesitation. When we arrived just 40 minutes later, we were greeted so warmly, and seeing a personalized welcome message with my name truly made us feel valued, not just like another reservation. Our wine host was incredible, charming, attentive, and genuinely passionate. He explained each wine so well and made sure we were comfortable the entire time, always keeping our glasses full without ever making us feel rushed or pressured. What stood out the most was the atmosphere, relaxed, genuine, and welcoming. No sales pressure, just a great experience with great people. This wasn't just a wine tasting, it was an experience we'll remember. We'll absolutely be coming back. read more

Such a fun and unique spot! Tank Garage Winery has a totally different vibe from your typical wine tasting room -- it feels more like a cool retro garage than a fancy winery, and I loved that. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable without being pretentious, and the wines were delicious (especially the blends -- so creative). We ended up taking a few bottles home. It's definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something a little off the beaten path in Calistoga. Would absolutely go back! read more

We didn't call ahead and missed the last tasting experience but we loved the vibe of the place so we stayed so I could enjoy a glass of California Sound. I am terrible with names but the two young men behind the bar were full of knowledge and we enjoyed the facts they shared with us. The history of the building is intriguing and the wine was fantastic! This is a place you need to see and experience. If we return to Calistoga we will make reservations and do some tasting at the Tank Garage. read more

One of a kind wines! We went on a Calistoga Winter Passport. The wines are blends and they use traditional and non traditional grapes that once bottled they never make a similar bottle according to our educator. Tucked and hidden by the filling station facade, inside it's really beautiful and artfully inspired by prohibition era. Truthfully, the wines are fantastic! But the customer service and attention to customers could use some training. We were sat, explained what they were about , our educator poured us one glass at a time , gave his speech and left. Never asked what we thought and nor left room for us to inquire with our questions that each wine left curiosity with. We were not asked if we wanted to try more by upgrading our passport( which should have been an option) or see if we were interested in buying a bottle let alone explain their membership. Not sure if the Passport puts off the company but I would think it would be their best opportunity to win some new and local members . Disappointed because I had been looking forward to coming here for so long . Overall- great tasting and unique wines you won't find elsewhere but lacking in the experience. read more

Date of Visit: 10/5/2024 We visited the Tank Garage Winery in Calistoga during our weekend trip to Napa and Sonoma Valley last weekend. There was a heat wave across the Bay Area in the first week of October, and it was very sunny and bright outside. Tank Garage Winery was established back in 2014, and this tasting room was once a gas station, with the gas pumps in the front as excellent photo spots during the visit. Lubrication Tasting $30 We made the reservation for the regular lubrication tasting with four wines on the menu, and can waive one tasting with 3 bottles purchase. We sat first at the high top in the first tasting area by the window. But it was super bright and warm, so we asked to move inside to the backroom. There is a pinball station in the backroom with most sofa seats, nice and chill. 2022 Hot Fuss, White Wine, California The first white was made with 45% Grüner Veltliner, 20% Gewürztraminer, 13% Greco, 12% Riesling, 10% Chardonnay, has the taste of pear, citrus, honey and spiced. 2022 Bye-Bye Baby, Red Wine, California This one is a little similar to the GSM in Central Coast, made with 63% Grenache, 29% Mourvèdre, 7% Cinsault, 1% Syrah. The taste of blueberry and Oak was very obvious. 2021 Talk Dirty to Me, Red Wine, Sonoma County This one is a Cabernet Sauvignon based red wine with 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 1% Syrah. Like the chocolate and cherry taste, and medium bodied with soft tannin. 2022 Lip Service, Red Wine, Napa Valley This one was made with 58% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Zinfandel, 7% Petit Verdot. The softness and lingering taste of strawberry and juicy acidity was very nice. 2022 Onde Nostre, Red Wine, San Benito County 50 We asked for a sip of this red wine, with 52% Barbera, 30% Sangiovese, 15% Freisa, 3% Valdiguié. On the nose, there was an obvious cherries and raspberries smell, and on the palate, we tasted the tart cherry, cranberry, and raspberry, with a hint of black tea and tobacco. read more

A brilliant little place to try something different. We were able to seat a big group with relatively short notice on a winter weekday. Service was super friendly as we tried a selection of funky and unique wines. Each blend is super unique often including 5 or 6 different grapes, they only make each wine once so snag it if you like it. Vibes were great, very chill and friendly, we'd happily come back! read more

10/10 you need to check this place out if you're in the Calistoga area. We're not wine connoisseurs but Patrick made us feel welcomed and helped us to figure out what types of wine we like. They have a set tasting menu but he was flexible to cater our next wines based on our preferences. They only make each type of wine once (except for the Heavy which they've made twice) so they constantly have new wines to try. I look forward to going back! read more

Our visit to Tank Winery was the kind of experience that sticks with you long after you've left the property. The real star of the day was the wine expert, Patrick whose knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm turned a routine tasting into something special. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome and relaxed. They explained the winemaking process in a way that was clear and interesting, without feeling stuffy or over our heads. It wasn't just about facts and figures; it was about telling the story behind each bottle--the little details that make Tank's wines feel special. What stood out most was their genuine friendliness. They listened, answered our questions with patience, and shared little anecdotes that made the whole experience feel personal. You could tell they love what they do, and that love translated into our tasting. The session wasn't rushed, and there was plenty of time to savor the wines, swap notes, and laugh a little. The tasting itself was fun and engaging, almost like chatting with a knowledgeable friend who happens to be a fantastic guide. Their energy was contagious, and it made us more curious and excited to explore the lineup. By the end, we weren't just impressed with the wines--we felt inspired to learn more and to come back. We ended up joining the club on the spot, which felt like a natural next step after such a positive experience. Tank Winery is a real gem we stumbled upon on our first trip to Napa, and it quickly became a highlight of the whole trip. If you're planning a trip to Napa, do yourself a favor and include Tank Winery in your itinerary. It's the kind of place that turns a tasting into a memory, and you'll leave with a renewed sense of excitement to revisit soon. read more
