"Caymus is a family operation (the Wagners are in their third generation of winemaking on the property, where they've been making wine since 1972) and the family history and values that tie the vineyard together are elegantly woven through their tasting experience. In addition to trying their excellent Cabs and Zinfandels, you’ll hear about the family's history in the region. Photo: m anima"

The Caymus experience is something you will definitely not want to miss. Besides the exquisite wine, the Caymus estate and wine cellar is majestic, intimate and cozy. But what made this an unforgettable experience was our host Steve!!! This gentleman is a connoisseur of the history of Napa, Caymus and wines in general. He guided us swiftly through our tasting and made us feel so welcome we truly did not want to leave. We will definitely be coming back and asking for Steve once again! Totally recommended, do not miss Caymus!

We had a wonderful tasting at our own quiet table in the barrel room. Your tasting host will probably bring you pours of a couple special, even older vintage bottles to add to your experience. Best yet, as most wineries, you are discounted the cost of the tasting if you order wine during your stay, which of course we did.

The MOST Amazing tasting I have ever had!!! Bill our wine expert was knowledgeable and told us the Caymus family story! I loved how he explained to us the stories behind the wines! He treated us like family. We have always loved Caymus but as of today We are Caymus lovers for life!!! ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and the highlight of our Napa trip!

Delightful experience tasting in the barrel room. It was the perfect blend of the host being informative while providing time to just sit and enjoy the wine. Added perk is that if you make a purchase equal to the tasting fee, the tasting fee is waived.

What a fantastic tasting! We were so lucky to have Esiquio as our host. He is so knowledgeable about the wines, and as a local, he was also able to share some of the history of this area. The winery is beautiful. Our tasting was outside, in the shade. We could not have asked for a better experience!

I let others thoughts and opinions get into my head. There are a lot of haters of Caymus wine, but it has been one of my favorites for a while now. So, I went to this tasting sort wondering if I’d be disappointed. All of my trepidation was quickly dispelled during our tasting last week. Wow!!!!! Firstly, the winery itself was absolutely GORGEOUS!!! We were seated outside in a very secluded garden like setting. It was so quiet, peaceful and serene! Then, the wow factor…the barrel room!!! Photos just don’t do it justice. It’s a place I could find a lot of peace just existing in. Our wine taster- Bill was fantastic!!! We were there celebrating my mom’s 85th birthday and he was so warm and sincere towards her. He was laidback and relaxed but still professional and knowledgeable. The wine??? It DID NOT disappoint and is still one of my top favorites. I really don’t care about the haters. We all have our tastes and preferences and I’m smitten over their wine. Bill gave my mom a bottle of Caymus which was REALLY special. She is on a fixed income and unless we buy something like this for her- she could never afford it. She really appreciated this as a gift!!

What a tranquil experience. The grounds are beautiful, the service is amazing. Everyone made you feel at home. You can actually enjoy a glass of wine at the bar just because the wine is so good which is not common at most wineries unless you're reserved for a tasting. I celebrated my 50th Birthday and they gave me the a complimentary 50th anniversary bottle of wine. They went out of their way to make it a special experience.

This was the winery I was most excited to visit during this trip and it did not disappoint. The ambiance in the lounge was everything especially the HUGE Fiddle Tree upon entering. We were able to enjoy 2 glasses of wine and hang outdoors. Wish we had more time to walk around and go inside the barrel room. Lovely grounds. Good wine. Definitely will come back!

Our visit to Caymus Winery was absolutely perfect and made our anniversary so special! We've always loved Caymus wines, and experiencing them at the winery itself was a dream come true. The tasting experience was complete with a bottle of water and a wine glass for each guest to take home. Steve, our wine expert, was fantastic--so knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the wines. He shared fascinating details about the winemaking process and made us feel like VIPs throughout the entire visit. His warmth and attention to detail truly made the day memorable. The winery is stunning, with gorgeous surroundings and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience, and we'll treasure the memories forever. If you love wine and want a truly special experience, Caymus is a must-visit!

I honestly think it would be an unforgettable experience because of the good service, wine and atmosphere, I was very excited to go with my friends to this place but far from that, I could notice how differently they can treat you for being a Latin person, My friends and I were talking in Spanish. So I don't recommend it if you want good service Our Host was CHERYL COUNIHAN, and thanks to her I will not return to this place, my group of friends and I felt belittled, unfortunately we were not a priority for her, as a member of some wineries I would expect different treatment because I have always felt welcome in other places, Cheryl was very rude, in fact she changed the orders of my friends, and some were visiting the city, so Cheryl explain to me how will my friends be able to enjoy the wine that she bought you if you mixed up the orders? When it was time to decide what we were going to buy, I asked her about If I could revisit one more time a Cab, to which she replied "Aren't you too late for your other reservation? You won't be on time" First of all, Why you care?? and secondly we were buying wine, just try to give good service woman!

Wow! This place is impressive. Whitney was extraordinary.her extensive knowledge and ability to to tell a compelling story enhanced our experience and made it memorable. To top this off, Camus WAIVES, yes waives, your tasting fees with wine purchases equaling the tasting fee! No other winery in Napa that I know of does this. Be sure to include this on your winery tour when you're in the area. You won't be disappointed.

I love Caymus wines. Doing a Caymus tasting was a no brainer during my trip to Napa. Unfortunately, they were sold out when I first looked, however, after a quick call they managed to find a spot thanks to a late cancelation. So happy they could fit me in, however, I still had high expectations. Those expectations, well, were met+! You're greeted with a very nice kept sake glass, a bottle of Fiji water, and the list of wines you'll be tasting. It is almost a private tasting as you get seated in your own section of a larger room and provided a tasting guide who basically only oversees a table or two. You'll get your money's worth on the tasting straight-up, especially with a sample of reserve on the list, but why not convert that tasting cash directly into a bottle (or two). That right there is a win-win in my book.

Merry Caymus! Brought a friend up for the holidays last minute and had their "per glass" experience bc they were fully committed on tastings. The property is beautifully designed and all the photos/info along the walls and in photos gives a historical glance into the origins! The seating is spread out into different sections but we opted for the bar seating bc we arrived at 4 and last call is 4:30! We bought the bottles of Zinfandel since you can only purchase it on-site and had a glass of their "Caymus 50" Anniversary edition. Overall a must-try experience!

It's safe to say that there is no shortage of wineries when visiting Napa Valley, so when I took a trip to visit Napa, I was overwhelmed with which winery to visit. Lost on which to visit, my friend recommended that we check out the Caymus winery. I'm a fan of reds specifically Cabernet Sauvignon so it was an easy choice to add this to our list of places to check out. After some quick look up on Yelp, I saw that Caymus has two wineries, one is in Napa Valley while the other is located in the neighboring Suisun Valley. Like everything after covid, prior reservation is a must, and while Suisun is closer to where we were staying in Fairfield there just wasn't reservations available for the day we wanted to visit. We did get lucky with securing a reservation for Caymus Napa Valley. Reservations were easy to make through the tock website with each tasting costing $50. All participants must be 21 years and over, and no outside food/picnicking is permitted. Groups 13 or larger is requested to email Caymus directly. Caymus is known for their Cabernet and the winery is in Rutherford off the highway 29. Our reservation was for 9:30 and we arrived at 9 to make sure we were not late. Parking was easy to find, and they even have 4 chargers on site which was great for us because my friend drives an EV. We checked in at the reception and was given a wine glass that will be used for our tasting. We were also told that 2024 is the fiftieth vintage of Caymus so everything was designed to commemorate this event. We were directed to the barrel room where we sat down and was presented with the wines for the day. Now for the good stuff, the tasting consisting of a flight of 5 wines. We got to try a Mer Slieil Chardonnay, The Walking Fool Red Blend, Transit 3 Red Blend, Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon, and a 2019 Caymus Special Selection Cabernet. Our sommelier was Jen, and she was both friendly and knowledgeable. She explained not only the wine making process but educated us on the tasting profile as well as the history of Caymus. She told us that she's being with the company for over ten years and prior to that she worked with a different winery in Napa. My palette is not refined enough to decern the faint notes accompanied in wines. I've only started drinking wine five years ago, but I do know what I like to drink. Of the five wines sampled, I loved the Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon, which wasn't a surprise since it is their most popular. I also enjoyed the Transit 3 Red which Jen informed us are made with grapes grown in Australia and shipped to Napa for aging. A big surprised though was that I was not a fan of the Caymus Special Selection even though it was the one I was looking forward to. I heard that it's an even split between the drinkers that prefer the Caymus Special Selection vs the standard Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon. Thanks Jen for being such a great sommelier. After we wrapped up our tasting and ready to leave, we were informed that if we prefer to buy any wines the gift shop is in the next room and if we were to purchase wine, the cost of the tasting would be applied to the purchased wine. This was great since we were looking to grab some wine to celebrate the 50th vintage. We ended up getting a set of the Transit series which includes Transit 1, 2, and 3 as well as the Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon. Lastly for our Pokémon Go players, no gym in the area but there is a Pokéstop, so spin away as you try out the different blends.

We had extraordinary experience at Caymus Vineyards. We enjoyed all of the complex delicious wines from a Sauvignon Blanc to a Chardonnay delicious Cabernet and my favorite " The walking fool" We love the fact that they would waive your tasting fee of $50 a person if you spend $200 on wine we had no problem doing that . We plan to have a bottle of wine each night that we're here. It is just that good. We actually look forward to coming back .

What's up: Here to try some wines at Caymus. They have 2 locations, this one and the Caymus-Suisun in Fairfield. We chose this one based on availability since reservations are required (booked online). Parking: EV charging is available. There were plenty of parking spots available. Environment: From the parking lot, you'll see signs that will direct you towards the main building entrance. The Wine Shop is located to the left of the main entrance. Check in at the front counter where you'll be given your tasting glass. We were seated inside the large room with a cool view of wine barrows displayed in the room. There was a short table and comfy seats for us to relax in. Jan took care of us. She provided us with bottled waters to keep us hydrated during our tasting and even offered to provide a blanket due to the chilly temperature. Jan was very knowledgeable of the wines and its history. At the end, you get to keep the tasting glass and they provide a paper bag food you to store it. After the wine tasting, you have the option to either pay for the tasting ($50 each person) or make a purchase of wines/items that would cover the cost of the tasting and essentially get the tasting for free. The transaction was made on an iPad that Jan provided so everything was done from the comfort of our seats. What was ordered: The Caymus Vineyard tasting: 5 wines - Mer Soleil Reserve Chardonnay (ok) - The Walking Fool (ok) - Transit 3 (good) - Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 50th Anniversary (the favorite) - Caymus Special Selection (good) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. This was a great tasting. I loved the setup and the environment. Jan was great and very informative of the wines, the history, as well as the surrounding area. And we got to keep a souvenir. Definitely worth a try. Credit cards are accepted.

Had a wonderful time at Caymus doing an 8 person wine tasting we had booked in advance. The property is stunning, beautiful greenery all around and the entrance is very photogenic as well. We checked in and were taken back to the garden area where they have tables set up for the outdoor tasting. There are even blankets if it gets a bit chilly! Gary was our wine specialist and he was amazing, very knowledgeable about the history of Caymus and down to earth. Would highly reccomend a visit for the great wine, scenery, and people at this spot!

We had an excellent wine tasting experience with Caymus Vineyards. The staff there were friendly and knowledgeable. It is a great place to chill with friends and we enjoyed. The reason to missing a star is no foods or snacks provided and not allowed as they do not have that permit. Another highlight is, when you buy wines more than the tasting fee. They will waive the tasting fee.

My visit to Caymus Vineyards was truly an amazing experience! I had been wanting to go for so long, as it's my favorite wine--the one that friends and family always buy me for Christmas, my birthday, and even Boss's Day. I had a bit of trouble securing a wine tasting reservation before our trip, but I was determined and kept trying until I finally succeeded! Once we arrived, we were greeted by our wonderful host, Elizabeth, who was absolutely fantastic (and yes, I mean AMAZING!). She made our tasting experience unforgettable. We had the pleasure of sampling a selection of wines, including Zinfandels, the 50th Anniversary Cabernet, and a beautiful Sauvignon Blanc. I was pleasantly surprised to discover a Sauvignon Blanc that I didn't even realize they produced--it was delightful! I can't quite remember the name, but it starts with an "E," and I would highly recommend it. Overall, Caymus Vineyards exceeded my expectations, and I left with a deeper appreciation for their wines. If you're a wine lover or just visiting Napa, this place is a must-visit. Cheers to a memorable experience!

What a lovely winery! Came here at the end of October to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was my first time here. I love a pretty garden and the grounds here are so lovely. The service was top notch and I thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting and learning about each wine and the history of Caymus Vineyards. I hope to be able to visit again the next time I am in the area. Cheers!

My favorite winery we visited during our weekend in Napa. It's perfectly classy but snobby. Beautiful inside with the wines barrels, but the most relaxing outdoor. We each were assigned to a person who explained each wine in our tasting as we went. It felt very personal and attentive. There's also a waived tasting fee if you spend $100 or more in the shop. A must visit if you're in Napa!

We had a fantastic visit to Caymus over Thanksgiving! We love their reds and in the their incredible tasting room, they are even better! The grounds are beautifully decorated, their staff has the best service along with history and stories, and did I mention their wine? Phenomenal! Stop in; you will have a fantastic time. Don't forget to make a reservation!

I was in Napa Valley and looking for one of the many vineyards to choose from. My eyes landed on Caymus and I became giddy like little school girl. Caymus is on my short list of favorite vineyards. When we arrived typical like most places the grounds are well manicured and parking wasn't an issue. We weren't able to get scheduled in the barrel room but the bar area was busy with many folks where you could choose from a short list of their recommended wines. I ended of splitting the special choice and the 2021 Cab. Both very very good! It was a great experience chatting with the help about the wines and the folks mingling around the wine bar area. After our tasting and purchasing a bottle of the 2021 Cab, we explored the outside grounds where you could choose to sit and take it all in. There were assortments of small group parties which added to the overall experience. Overall what a great experience. Definitely want to come back but it maybe a minute because there are so many other Napa vineyards to test out.

Jack Wagner says that wine is civilized. If four strangers come together around a bottle of wine, they walk away as friends. Tracy was my wine specialist today and I had a great time learning about the Caymus history, brand names and wines. Tracy was courteous and professional. The property is beautiful and offers indoor and outdoor seating. If you like to enjoy a glass, there is a bar that will pour you one. Overall, I am very pleased to have the opportunity to learn about this legendary wine family. Oh, they let me keep the anniversary glasses. By the way, I was able to schedule my appointment on the day of. Many thanks for everyone's amazing hospitality!

This Vineyard was definitely on our list of places to visit but when originally trying to book a reservation they were completely full and we were devastated. We had heard so many good things about this Vineyard. Fortunately, my husband decided to call once we arrived in Napa and they had a cancellation so was able to get us in Yay for us. The Vineyard has stunning scenery , beautiful English gardens everywhere for your eye to rest on sprinkled about are tables, gazebos and other shaded areas to enjoy your tastings outside. It has the original residence of the founder of the Vineyard showing their humble beginnings. We were able to have our tasting in the wine barrel room which was such a treat. It was a little chilly, of course, and they provided you with the most luscious blankets in a dimly lit romantic setting, our sommelier was very knowledgeable of wines and the family history of the Vineyard, which is fascinating. By comparison this is a small vineyard but they have some of the best wines. We favored their Chardonnay and Cab over all those we tasted elsewhere! They don't charge ahead of your tasting since If you make a purchase equal to your tasting fee then it's free! We ended up buying 6 bottles and they package it for travel right on the spot! Treat yourself here if in the area.

We visited Napa back in September and I am finally getting around to leaving reviews. Caymus has always been a favorite wine of mine and this was our first winery visit during our trip! It was the perfect place to start. They have one of the most beautifully landscaped properties out of all the wineries we visited. So many blooming flowers, perfectly trimmed hedges, and massive trees to shade you during your outdoor wine tasting. We did the wine tasting in the garden with host Gary. He was very personable and one of those hosts that clearly loves his job. He told us all of the family history of the winery and kept our tasting at a great pace. It was also nice to be able to "swap" your tasting fees into a bottle of wine (which we later enjoyed back at our Airbnb). We would definitely come back!

Spending a few days in Napa would not be complete without a stop at Caymus. It's been a favorite of ours for a long time. Having enjoyed Caymus Cab Sauv as a wedding gift got us hooked. The wine tasting building was really nice and contemporary. There were lots of sitting areas for tasting while overlooking barrels of wine. One tasting area was in a room behind a glass wall where the barrels are kept. Our host was welcoming and knowledgeable and she led through the mellow white wines before knocking us over with their powerful and delicious reds Their tasting menu included wine glasses and a nice wine bag (with a purchase). In the end, our host reminded us that taking home a wine would be more memorable than the wine tasting receipt. Sold, we took home a liter of Caymus Cabernet. Tasting fees at $50 each was waived. We were so happy to come here. We will return.

Had the worst experience in Napa here. Trust me there are many other wineries with just as nice wine who have a significantly better experience. Try Turnbull or Paraduxx instead. We didn't have a reservation but called and were told else could sit at the bar. The bartender was extremely rude, when I asked which of two wines I would like better after telling him my wine preferences he responded "whatever." As someone who is an avid Caymus drinker in Chicago, I would stick to buying it at a wine shop and skip it all together here. Absolutely horrible.

I really enjoyed my wine tasting experience at Caymus. It's a beautiful space both inside and outside leading up to the front entrance. It has a gorgeous ambiance inside with the floor to ceiling glass windows showcasing a huge barrel room. I like that there aren't too many tables so that it doesn't feel cramped inside. That said, if you plan to go, you need to make reservations in advance. One additional note- if you make an afternoon tasting reservation, don't be late to this tasting because they're rather strict about reservation times. I love that they provide Fiji waters for you during your tasting. It's a very fun, hands off tasting experience yet informational at the same time. We ended up buying two bottles of wine which waived the tasting fee. Major plus! We were also able to keep the wine glasses we tasted out of which was such a nice surprise at the end. They even gave us a bag to bring the wine glasses home. Such a thoughtful and thorough wine tasting experience. I would love to come back again to the Napa location or Suisun Valley location with friends. Highly recommend!

Thank you Michel and thank you Caymus! Our tasting em was perfect, it started subtly with us learning little bits about the wine and the people and with each wine came a new story, a few hints about the wine, and some history. Round after round we became more interested and connected and each tasting of your excellent wines brought our more laughter and more discussion about the wines. We ended on a high note with your most famous red. What a wonderful experience. Thank you all for being so down to earth and so patient with us as we cackled with laughter doing exactly what wine was meant to do-helping us blow off steam and bringing us closer together before we left the next day to head back to FL to face a hurricane. Michel you were an excellent host and we really appreciated you!

Our wine guide, Elizabeth, was the best. She even tried to get the owner to come over, unfortunately, he didn't. But, they did give us the wine glasses and a birthday bottle of wine in a special bag for the plane. The wine was really good. We left buying at least six bottles. Definitely big production with small town feel. Service and accommodation for the tasting were relaxing.

I would give this winery 6 stars if I could. The extra one is special though, as we were guests of one of their Regional Sales Managers. The Sales Manager made our reservation for us, so there were no problems. The grounds are beautiful, and the barrel room is quite a unique treat to behold. (It also makes a great photo!). We were warmly greeted and seated immediately. Our Wine Educator, Zach, was truly the finest employee we experienced during the entire week-long vacation. He went above and beyond with his approachable and friendly manner. He provided an unexpected tasting, not on the menu, and an additional pour of their Special Selection before departing. The Gift Shop employee provided a wineskin and box to accommodate the bottle we were given (by the Sales Manager) on our way out. We love Caymus Cabernet and highly recommend the wine and the winery. Our overall experience was outstanding!

This is a non stuffy place for tasting or wine by the glass at the bar. Michael and Luis at the bar were super friendly! My kind winery and people. Had the same experience during my last couple of visits before the remodel. The younger wine store cashier did not give out the same vibe. It maybe a generational thing. So I wouldn't hold it against him or the brand. Ha! Love the new setup.

Wow. Luxurious without taking out quality and being friendly to your wallet. The best wine tasting I had. Love supporting family businesses that has not been overtaken by a big conglomerate. Love the rich history and the wine price points are so affordable. If you were to do a wine tasting please ask for Whitney she did an immersive tasting where your taste bud dictate selection. We did a blind tasting and it was so amazing. Lots of great people, atmosphere, rich history and WHITNEY made it memorable. Her enthusiasm for Caymus and the love for the family was felt. My heart exploded with Whitney's explanation of the family heritage of Caymus. A must to visit and u get the tasting fee waived to buy wine...yes!! Free tasting to buy awesome wine.

By far the best stop in Napa- hands down! You can't go wrong with Caymus, whether if you've never tried it or have, u have to stop and visit them! Their customer service is top notch. They made us feel very welcomed and were very accommodating. Aussie, our wine expert, was beyond wonderful!!! We really appreciated the time he took with us and knowledge he shared on the wine. He left us wanting to come back again and we will be sure to recommend to our friends and family. Thank you Caymus for such excellent service and wines!!

Caymus was the second vineyard we visited on a recent trip to Napa. Being a big fan of their wines. this was a must see for us. It did not disappoint. The facilities are so beautiful and the service was good. Not to say anything about their wine of course! My favorite is their Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection. I had never had their rosé before which to tell the truth I didn't enjoy as much. I am not a white wine drinker, but there are some rosé I do enjoy more, like the Belle Glos one for example. Which incidentally is made by a member of the Wagner family as well, so if you haven't tried his wines, do so! You will thank me later. They are fantastic and the bottles are very nice. People would be impressed if you show up with one of those to a dinner party. But this is a review about Caymus not Belle Glos lol. We had a full tasting which took a couple of hours. I don't believe they have tour tastings like we did at other wineries. You sit in their hall and a attendant pours the wine and talk about them. I did not like that she had other the parties that were seating very close to us, so we could hear everything they were saying. We did not have her undivided attention and it took her a bit long to pour our next wine. I feel she was dedicated more time to the other party. Maybe they were more fun hahaha. We did have a good time so we didn't mind as much but wedid have, another tasting schedule so we had to rush little bit in the end, but it worked out. I highly recommend to do this winery. And if you buy wines they waive the tasting fee which works out great because it's about as much as a bottle of Caymus cab so it's a win-win!!

This was definitely our favorite wine tasting experience we have done so far in the wine country! Our host Zac was very friendly and sociable and very knowledgeable about wine and the brand. Everyone was so incredibly nice they make you feel like family! The grounds are gorgeous and peaceful. We had such a great time we went home with several bottles of wine. And they let you bring home your glass! Caymus is a family favorite and my dad often buys many bottles for family events so he was very jealous we got to visit the vineyard. I told him he will just have to make a trip himself. This was so much fun! Thank you!'

Caymus Vineyards located in the center of the Napa Valley primary production being Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a selection Zinfandel and Petite Sirah this makes for the perfect stop if you like red wine. Family owned winery Chuck Wagner started Caymus Vineyards along side he's parents and has made a good name in the wine industry. Came here for a special occasion and this winery was highly recommended to us. I fell in love with their red wines but for my taste the highlight was the Malbec Argentina and the Grand Durif Petite Zirah I love that crisp taste not overpowering but just the right ripeness. This is a must stop when I'm the Napa Valley. Customer service is excellent from the concierge to our hostess, I was in love with this winery. Presentation wise is perfect I love the Garden area, I was here with a big group but will definitely come back with hubby just to enjoy the Garden and have a relaxing evening. A definite 5 star winery.

Caymus has the best wines! The 50th anniversary batch is my favorite. Went for the tasting experience and Gary was so fun and attentive. Would definitely go back. Thanks Gary for our wine tasting experience!

The stars that you see, for this winery are no accidents. The wine is velvety, delicious, succulent, and full bodied. The flavors linger days after you leave this tasting. The hype is real, but what's more real are the wine makers and the folks who work at this wine tasting room. Zach was fantastic. Ernest, kind, and filled with knowledge about the wine and the history of wine at Cayman s. I was really impressed by his willingness and openness to learn about different cultures, and was a really great conversationalist too. Got to meet some fun regulars who really made the day so memorable. Can't wait to go back.

Experience: 5/5 Donna was DIVINE! She curated our experience and simply made our trip. She sat us in the "library" and meticulously walked us through each wine that we tasted. She inspired us with the history of Caymus and really sold the history of the vineyard. I cannot overstate how memorable the experience was for our group. I would recommend Caymus to anyone on god's green earth. In addition, they let you keep the wine glasses you taste in, and when we went to leave they said "we'd prefer you go home with a bottle of wine than a tasting fee" and waive tasting fees if you buy a bottle of wine (equivalent to the tasting fee value). Ask questions about the history of the vineyard...you will not be disappointed. Taste: 5/5 Caymus has a long-standing history in the Napa region. However, they source grapes from all over the globe and in particular within 8 of the AVAs in the Napa valley. The wines were superb. We did not taste a bad wine. Please treat yourself and go to Caymus. Ask for Donna. Enjoy. With Love, Cole

If you're in Napa Valley and you're looking for a phenomenal vineyard with amazing wine, Caymus is the place to be. My husband and I love Caymus wines and made a trip out to Napa specifically to visit this vineyard. Still family owned and operated, and they serve some of the best quality wines. We just came back from a wine tasting and I couldn't wait to write this review. Our wine host Tracy was the best!!! Very knowledgeable, friendly, professional and hospitable. She really made our day. My husband and I loved this place and we will definitely be returning to Caymus, and recommending this place to all our friends and family. Thank you Caymus for serving the best wine ever, and thank you Tracy for your hospitality!

This is more of a tasting vs a vineyard tour so there are limited spaces to explore. That being said the areas they do have are stunning. Lush florals, greenery throughout, and immaculate presentation where everything remains tidy and clean. There are some beautiful areas outside where you can sit and enjoy great wine. Elizabeth our taste guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. You can tell in her excitement of the wines that caymus is not the corporate brand you'd expect but a well ran family brand with exceptional values that treat their employees right. Like most wineries definitely make a reservation ahead of time.

First time visiting Caymus and it did not disappoint!!! Whitney took care of us and quickly pulled us into the history of the Wagner family which added beautiful stories to the fantastic wine that we were tasting. My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and Caymus came through with the best service, ambiance, and wine!! We will definitely be back our next visit to Napa!

Probably the best tasting experience I've ever had (and Ive had a lot). First of all the barrel room where we tasted was absolutely STUNNING!! Hannah, who led our tasting was so lovely and informative!! We could have stayed there talking to her for hours. The grounds are so beautiful. I honestly couldn't have imagined a better experience and i had high expectations because this is my favorite wine.
