Mumm Cuvee Napa

Perhaps the most helpful, most friendly of all sparkling tasting rooms we visited in the area.
Rather than tether you to a bar, you're able to get service at a table. Just look at the menu selection, and someone will be with you shortly. Mumm Napa is the best place to stop by at the end of the day. The reason being is that they have outdoor seating overlooking their vineyards. It's a special winery because they have a variety of sparkling wines.

Don't fret, if it's hot (just like it was yesterday at 94 degrees) they turn on their mist sprays and instantly you are cooled down.

They have 3 pour flights plus the full glass. It's located on the Silvarado Trail so this gives you a chance to take a peek on what this trail has to offer.

Pillar Rock Vineyards

he elegant and supple characteristics of Pillar Rock result from the fully ripe hand picked grapes. We then select the best vineyard grapes to fully reveal the combination of site, soil, and weather. Cary Gott, the winemaker, then adds his magical touch. The grapes are custom crushed and aged in the New French oak barrels from the Never and Allier forests. Our highly acclaimed 1999 vintage barrel lot achieved #2 at the 2001 Napa Valley Wine Auction. The 2000 vintage won the ultimate prize of being #1 at the barrel auction. The 2001 and 2002 were rated outstanding by James Laube, the Wine Spectator. Note, not open to the public for tasting.

Honig Vineyards & Winery

Personal attention in an absolutely breathtaking setting; what more could you want? Casey was very friendly & spent time talking with us about the wine & the vineyard. Oh, and their wine is fantastic, too! We enjoyed the outdoor patio area. Their Sauvignon Blancs were crisp & delicious. Their Cabs were dry & fruity. And, they had a Cab Rose (first I'd ever tasted) that was quite good.

John Anthony Vineyards

Quiet, nice little place by our hotel (Andaz Napa). Good place to go for a quick bite and maybe a little wine, nice since it's open late and convenient. Nice ambiance. Wine is spectacular. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Definitely check this place out if you are wondering around downtown Napa.

Casa Caneros Vineyard

The care and passion Melissa Moravec and Kurt Reaume have for each of their wines is represented within their dedication to a small-scale, hands-on approach to winemaking. A philosophy of guidance and control throughout the entire winemaking process, and a strategy of fine-tuned responsiveness towards the delicate characteristics of the high quality grapes grown and selected each vintage, create the finished wines' style reflecting the unique Casa Carneros Vineyard.

Erna Schein

Erna Schein , formerly Behrens & Hitchcock, is located on the top of the Spring Mountain district near the Sonoma County line. It is located at the end of this district's infamous "summit wine road" which leads off the main very windy Spring Mountain Road. This summit road is home to many of the Spring Mountain Wineries. Les Behrens and Lisa Drinkward are the owners of this winery.

Monticello Vineyards

The winery is located in the middle of the valley, not too far off of Highway 29, but just enough away from the beaten path to allow you to enjoy the beauty of the wine country. The property features a beautiful bulding modeled after Jefferson's Monticello and has picnic tables to taste outside. The tasting room was not overly crowded like others we have visited. When you visit, ask for Robin Williams. She is an incredible hostess! She makes you feel welcome and made our visit special They offer a nice selection of reds and whites. The best wines are priced under $40 a bottle, which is bargain for quality wine in the Napa Valley. Monticello is definitely worth a visit.

Robinson Family Vineyards

Susie provided a lot of history about the winery and the two labels - Robinson Family and Great Legs. While I only bought two bottles it was not because I did not want more it was just that I only had limited space. When I come back in January 2013, I will definitely be visiting again with my group. I appreciated the fact Susie Robinson took the time to visit during my tasting even though I was only a party of one. A nice small place, just like the places I like to visit in wine country.

Robert Mondavi Winery

As one of the oldest wineries in Napa Valley, Robert Mondavi Winery innovated many winery technologies that were later adopted by other wineries in the area. Our tour guide went in depth about the history of the winery and showed us different ways of twirling our classes and trying various wines. For me, I felt as if I attended a informative wine class and tasted several great wines.
