Beautiful winery with spectacular views of the amazing gardens! We booked an appointment and took the tour and tasting. The facilities are beautiful and the wines were delightful. The host/guide was knowledgeable and informative but was a little stiff in the presentation and sounded a bit like a tape recorder. Make sure to book your tour and tasting beforehand for this must-see winery.

We had an amazing experience from beginning to end. Donna was the first person to greet us. She helped us make the reservations and was extremely warm upon our arrival.

Vincent was our tour guide. Charming. Knowledgable. A great guide and a perfect experience for my first visit to Napa.

The wines were very good, as usual.
