8/19/23 Beautiful & gorgeous well manicured lawns, sculpted trees, grounds, architectural wonder....spectacular indeed! If you're a wine enthusiast, this place sets the tone for a wonderful experience. Not a very warm or welcoming reception from the ladies inquiring if you have a reservation though.....
Nevertheless, my experience overall was phenomenal in terms of the self guided tour of the grounds. I wish i could partake but, alas, I have an allergy to alcohol. The shops have merchandise such as candles, hats, clothing stemware, jams, balsamic vinegar, and of course, wines. We purchased balsamic vinegar (one for me & one for my girlfriend) and a fridge magnet-these are excellent souvenirs, just stick em & they're useful, space savers:))
What I enjoyed the most was the fruit bearing trees that are carefully pruned to grow in such a way that is both functional & artfully pleasing for viewing. Most of the outdoor seating areas are reserved for guests who have appointments (which the ladies have tersely announced more than once, such snobs). There are a few tables & chairs to enjoy snacks & beverages aside from wine. There's a shack that sell potato chips & other treats in the property. Wine grapes are also grown where guests roam, aLong with fruit-bearing trees such as plums, apples, figs & persimmons.
Given the not-so-so warm reception from the ladies at the main receiving area, they lost a star. Otherwise, Beringer Vineyards is one of the oldest wineries in Napa Valley, from the Beringer brothers, from Germany.
