Girard's goal is to highlight the flavors of Napa Valley and its rich, ripe grapes. A small portion of the winery's portfolio also comes from grapes grown in Sonoma's upscale Russian River Valley, where cool weather offers ideal conditions for Chardonnay.
The grounds are gorgeous, as is the tasting room. Very elegant and spacious. Our wine Diva was Linda, who was one of the most informative and fun wine pros we had met. She schooled us in such a fun and creative way we almost didn't want to leave!
In the heart of the California wine country stands the picturesque Glen Ellen house surrounded by vineyards
first planted in 1883. Both the house and the wines of Glen Ellen have stood the test of time.
Our wines are crafted using methods usually reserved for twice the price in vineyards where the warm
California sun lingers on and gently ripens the grapes to perfection. Glen Ellen wine’s timeless charm
continues to inspire dinner parties and gatherings of friends around the world and is served as
the wine that makes everyone feel welcome.

Hit the tasting room in Los Olivos for an afternoon of Pinot drinking. Staff very friendly and fun to taste with. Pinot is solid and enjoyable. This place is nearby several tasting rooms. Upon entering, it was calm and quiet. Since it was a weekday, it was a much different ambiance from the busy weekends as mentioned by the staff. The tasting included three whites and three reds. It was three chardonnays, two pinot noirs, and one syrah.
