I recently had the most delightful visit to Chimney Rock Winery. My husband, our dog, and I decided to spend a sunny afternoon tasting wines at this gorgeous winery. Opting to sit outside, we were immediately struck by the breathtaking beauty of the property. The wine tasting itself was exceptional. We sampled several wines, each more impressive than the last. The flavors were rich and memorable, truly showcasing the best of what Napa Valley has to offer. The staff was knowledgeable and passionate, making our wine tasting experience both educational and enjoyable. But the highlight for us, and especially for our furry friend, was the unique 'barkuterie' board they prepared for our dog. It was such a thoughtful gesture and just goes to show how much Chimney Rock Winery goes above and beyond to ensure all guests, including the four-legged ones, have a fantastic time. Overall, our visit to Chimney Rock Winery was nothing short of amazing. The combination of exquisite wines, stunning scenery, and exceptional service made our day unforgettable. I would highly recommend this winery to anyone visiting Napa, whether you're a seasoned wine connoisseur or just looking for a beautiful place to relax and enjoy some delicious wines. Don't forget to tip your host!

Best wines + least pretentious winery that I’ve ever been to. Tasting was very interesting. I was fascinated by how the Californian grapes and traditional European wine making styles came together. Ask for Julian as your server. Kid friendly. Took us last minute too on a Sunday. Will be back!

Very accommodating.. We had a person in our tasting group that was not going to join because he prefers white wines and Bob customized for him. Made all the difference in the experience for all of us... And Bob was fun to talk to and he kept it simple. We ended up becoming members and purchasing wines not a part of the original tasting because Bob let us try a few... And when we come back... We'll be requesting him!

We love Chimney Rock! Amazing wine and ambiance, the grounds are beautiful! Could not think of a better place for my engagement. Katey was excellent to work with to plan the big surprise! Julian was an amazing tour guide the day of!

Wow..Chimney Rock winery in the Napa Valley wine region.where do I start.First the place is beautiful. From the winery main building,to the surrounding vineyards,to the tasty room, to the courtyards in the back to the fountain in between, the place is so picture perfect.we did one incredible wine tasting with a charcuterie board consisting of candied nuts,assorted meats and various cheeses.It was all delicious. The wines were a collection of white wine, rosa a reds.Tge wines started out very smooth and neutral in taste and later tastes became more full and heavier to the palate. I particularly liked the Elevage red wine.Madison took great care and amount of time with us explaining the wines and which vineyard the wine came from and even background and history.She did such an amazing job and really spoiled us. No other winery on our stops teated us with such an amazing tasting experience. I highly recommend including Chimney Rock on any visit to Napa. Just remember you will need reservations.

We really enjoyed Chimney Rock! This was our first time in Napa. The wines were great, our server Tyson was very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the wines. For newbies like us we really appreciated how willing he was to talk about the different vineyards and climates that impacted the different wines we got to try. We love Cabs and as the focus of this winery, we got to enjoy a few and loved that. The only part of our experience that was less than perfect was that we were seated on the patio very close to the main building at 10am on a particularly warm day - the sun hit half of our table and we didn’t get much breeze where we were seated. Once we got up to explore though, the grounds were beautiful and much cooler.

We visit Sonoma County/Napa quite often from Wisconsin. One of our favorite places to visit. This last trip was for my 60th birthday. We started the day at Chimney Rock. It was our lucky day getting Julian to do our tasting for us. He was beyond our expectations and we had the best experience. Not only are the wines outstanding but Julian took the wine tasting experience to another level. Thx for a great start to my big 6-0!!!

Some wineries are all business. Chimney Rock has been a lot of fun activities, superlative wine, and great people that I've had contact with over the past two-plus decades. The dinners there have been outstanding events: excellent food and wines, and the people we've shared our table with. We first discovered Chimney Rock in the mid-1990s and quickly learned to appreciate their estate Cabernet Sauvignon, a mix of CS, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petite Verdot. Their 2021 Stags Leap District Cabernet is Wine Spectator's #5 wine of 2024 -- and I ordered a case last year when it came available. My wife and I were wine club members and immensely enjoyed the functions, dinners, wine tasting that club membership affords. We've won several awards for mixing varietals; my wife -- an artist -- won several awards for best label for the wine our table of wine club members formulated (2005: "Sneak Preview" label). We carried out a bottle of our mixed wine courtesy of Chimney Rock, and was sent a magnum bottle of the award-winning cab mixture It was always fun to attend these functions -- where one of my favorite wines is made. (Regretably, my wife died unexpectedly in 2020.) Since moving out of state, I stay in touch and visit the winery when I can. Chimney Rock has added a number of bottlings from their Arete, Kesu, Arrowhead, Alpine and Ganymede vineyards since I became a wine club member. So many choices... so little time. But online orders are filled very quickly and shipped usually the next work day after ordering. It's seamless, and the wine club people are very easy to work with -- as my latest shipment has once again proven.

Had the opportunity to do a tasting yesterday with my family, and Chimney Rock did not disappoint. While cabs aren't necessarily my first choice, I had a hard time narrowing down which bottle I was going to allow myself to buy by the end of the tasting! Julian was awesome. He was both animated and informative, which made for a great tasting experience throughout. The grounds are very pretty and I love the ground level fountain that stretches from the tasting room to the barrel room. Chimney Rock is a bit out of my price range to be a frequent flyer, but I do look forward to a next trip back down the line.

Very nice and welcoming winery in Stag Leap area. Tasting setup was beautiful and our server was so friendly and even brought our pup water. We enjoyed this experience and the yummy wine. Bought a bottle to enjoy later. Would highly recommend!

I've long wanted to visit Chimney Rock. It's not the most "fun" or innovative tour -- the tasting takes place in the barrel room. However, the caliber of the wines speak for themselves. These are some of the finest Napa cabs I've ever had in 20+ years of visiting Napa Valley. Every wine is complex, expensive, marvelous, eyes back in head type of good. Chimney Rock is legacy Napa -- been around forever -- and the quality (and price) of the wines poured here show. Not cheap, but really a special experience. Just fantastic hospitality as well, I was really impressed by the wines. Definitely in the top 3 of wine quality I've experienced in Napa -- and there are a lot of top notch wineries in the valley! If you're a real wine snob and appreciate the finest wines served in Napa, check out Chimney Rock and enjoy. Can't wait to visit again. Thumbs up.

Julian was FANTASTIC! Our tasting experience at Chimney Rock was nothing short of amazing. We cannot wait to be back again.

We were members here before moving back to Asia, and their service and wine were always top-notch. The staff was always super friendly, and our server today, Talia, was no exception. She was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. It's rare to find wineries that are kid-friendly these days, but Talia was so sweet that she even offered them water in the wine glasses, making them feel like they were part of the tasting! Thanks a bunch! Definitely did not disappoint, still one of our favorite in Napa.

Awful service. Completely ignored by host- wasn't served our last wine in our tasting. Host was MIA so we left--our host was in the lobby/bar area drinking and laughing with other staff. Unreal for what we paid. I've had better service at a food truck. Too many beautiful wineries to waste money and time at Chimney Rock. I've sent two emails without a response. Unbelievable.

Joshua was great! Very knowledgeable on wines and the Napa area. He offered us 2 extra tastings that wasn't on the list and opened a new Ganymede 2018 bottle for us to compare with the 2014 bottle. The vibe was a mix of elegant, peaceful, and scenic!

Such an amazing experience with Julian today! He went above and beyond during our tasting and took us on a great tour of the vineyards. Wines were delicious. Edited to add - we have since been to a few other vineyards and Chimney Rock was definitely our favorite of the day! We felt we got the best overall experience and wine education here.

We've been to Napa many times, and I'm sad to say this is by far the worst tasting experience I've ever had. It's too bad, because I really liked the wine but wouldn't have considered buying any after the taste of terroir with Ian. It started off with him suggesting we do our seated tasting standing at the bar instead. He was multi-tasking...excusing himself constantly for several minutes at a time before we even got started and throughout the tasting. He poured the first 2 glasses and told us to guess the wine as he scurried off. I left the 60 minute, $70 per person tasting having learned nothing more about their wines, history, process, etc. Unfortunately, the only facts that were shared by Ian were his political views. Incredibly disappointing experience.

Love Chimney Rock. Cabs are delicious. We hadn't been in a while. Forgot how great their wines are. Great service from Gary Miller. Generous pours and complimentary charcuterie.

Since I haven't reviewed Chimney Rock since 2014, and I recently visited, I figured it was time to update my review. I stand by what I wrote then about Chimney Rock always being a fun time. I didn't have my dog with me this time, but dogs are still very welcome. All the wines are estate grown and as you make your way through a tasting, they will show you on a map where the grapes were grown. I was thrilled to learn about the female wine maker and learn more about the owners. Since I currently live in Indiana, shipping wine that retails in Indiana to Indiana is a no-go. While chatting with my host, he mentioned he learned this a few years ago when the sons took over and had to re-license in every state to sell their wine since the licenses were previously held in their father's name. This was the first time I tasted in the barrel room. I highly recommend doing a tasting in the barrel room. It's just so beautiful. My host was very conversational and ended up grabbing a few extra wines for me try beyond the standard tasting. I tend to end a day of wine tasting at Chimney Rock, not just because of the full-bodied reds, but also for the atmosphere. And I'm really glad I did this time too because instead of the standard hour and a half tasting time, I ended up spending three hours here. What seems to have changed in the last 10 years is that you'll want to make a reservation. Tasting fees have also gone up. Expect about $70 for a tasting.

Chimney Rock is in a league of its own. From the 2021 Elevage, which completely redefined my expectations of wine, to the unparalleled hospitality, every detail is crafted with intention and excellence. That one bottle was so transcendent it led me back to Chimney Rock three days in a row--because once you experience wine at this level, there's no going back. Josh curated an experience that was both educational and effortlessly engaging, matching our energy and making us feel completely taken care of. Talia (sp) brought warmth, joy, and a genuine excitement that made every visit feel special. This is more than a winery; it's a masterclass in what wine should be. While I may not be able to afford a membership yet, I am Chimney Rock loyal, and every other winery I visited can confirm it. If you're looking for a place where wine meets artistry and hospitality, look no further.

What an EXCELLENT experience! We ended our anniversary trip with a tasting at Chimney Rock. Not being avid wine people, our host Gary took our whole experience to the NEXT LEVEL. My wife and I learned so much about the wine making process, and what goes into making a great wine. Great experience, great wine, and great people made all the difference for us today! Highly recommend!

This is a popular Napa winery with great Cabernet Sauvignon! The wines were great and the property is nice. We enjoyed visiting but something in the service was a little lack luster. Not bad, but our server just seemed distracted for the price of the tasting. That aside, it is worth a visit for the Cabernet!

1st visit there & found it to be quite pleasant. It may not have the reputation of Stags Leap nor the massive cave in Jarvis, but it has its inherent architectural charms. The outdoor tasting area behind the main building was gorgeous, lined with comfy lounge chairs with overhead umbrellas to protect guests from the sun. There was also a patio seating area but with very limited overhead shades. The water fountain in the center of the concourse was quite soothing & zen. It was a scorching day so our tasting was done inside an AC warehouse. The wall was adorned with prob over 100 empty French oak barrels, perfectly stacked Bristol fashion. The interior was quite spacious, you can fit 10 tables 6 feet apart and still have enough room for intoxicated guests to dance. Its prob a good venu for a small to mid size wedding reception. We are not wine connoisseurs so will not make any judgements. For some reasons we preferred the 2017 South Hill & the 2016 Arrowhead over the other more celebrated vintage. We found them to be more light & refreshing.

They curate such a lovely experience here. Its definitely worth the price as they take you around the property on a golf cart to show you the vineyards the wine you are drinking comes from. Not to mention the wine was so good!

TL;DR: Delicious variety of Cans. Impeccably well kept property. Stunning views. Family owned hospitality. We joined the Chimney Rock wine club in the summer of 2020 when wine tasting was one of the only things you could do safely. From our first visit to our last the service and wine are always divine (I rhymed on purpose). They have several different types of grapes produced on property that make up some of the delicious Cabs I've ever had the chance to savor. A crowd favorite and also super unique is their Cab Franc rosé. Most Rosé is made with a blend of grapes and typically heavy on the Pinot Noir grape. The Cab Franc rosé is unique in that it's entire made up of delicious Cab grapes and has a rich pink hue unlike other rosés. They sell out of it fast so I'd suggest stocking up. Overall a great stop on your next Napa Valley wine trip.

Madison was phenomenal! My sister and I went to Chimney Rock this morning for a tasting and our host, Madison, could not have been more warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. As someone who works in a tasting room as well, I know a vivacious personality like Madison's is hard to come by. Thank you so much Chimney Rock and Madison for the amazing experience!

We have been members for a few years now. Chimney has great wine and customer service but that was elevated to a further level with Julian. If he is there, make sure he is your host, and you will leave with your expectations surpassed.

A beautiful winery to visit! Our party made last minute plans to Napa and we were able to book an outdoor tasting reservation through their website without any issues. Upon arriving, we were greeted by a friendly staff member manning a table under an umbrella (in 108° weather!!) full of hand sanitizers, liability waivers, pens, and a container to dump used pens in. Once we signed the waivers, she directed us to a mini sink off to the side so we can wash our hands. As we waited for our table, we enjoyed spending time in the nice air conditioned room. We were then greeted by another staff member who led us to our table in the patio. The outdoor area was really nice with awnings to provide shade and a nice water feature we all wished we could dive into because of the heat. Tables were spaced out between parties so it didn't feel like there were a lot of people. We booked the Seasonal Selection tasting, which was $60 a person. We received personalized menus too, which was a nice, thoughtful touch! It came with 5 different wines to taste (1 rose & 4 cabernet sauvignon). The rose was 100% needed for the hot weather. It was really refreshing! The cabs all tasted really good as well, each tasting different from the other. The 2013 Tomahawk cab was our favorite of the day. I highly recommend! I was overall impressed with Chimney Rock's COVID protocols, as they made us feel comfortable and safe. Our party was also very impressed and grateful that all of the staff members wore long pants and masks when it was 108° outside! Thank you, Chimney Rock!

Lovely wines and great property. Had a very enjoyable tasting experience. We got to sit outside in November and enjoyed several rounds of excellent Napa style Cabernet. I would love to come back here!

This winery is very fancy and modern. The wine was superb! The prices are pretty expensive per bottle even as a club member, but don't let that stop you from trying this delicious wine. The tasting costs $50, but you have the option of sharing a tasting with someone. I personally really enjoyed tasting their wines. If you want good wine and like to spend I recommend you give it a try. Price: $$$ Taste: 100% Service: 100%

We visited Napa Valley and landed at Chimney Rock and had the time of our life. Julian was so knowledgeable, personable, and attentive. He made us and our pup Koda feel beyond welcome. Julian is truly top tier and provided an unforgettable experience. The venue is absolutely stunning and we love that it was pup friendly. We have recommended Chimney Rock to any of our friends visiting Napa, as it truly is the best wine with the most incredible company. We are permanent Chimney Rock fans and love keeping it on our shelves.

Beautiful vineyard and spectacular reds. I experienced this place by attending a private lunch and wine pairing. They decorated the tasting room beautifully and I was surprised how good the lunch they provided was. The sommelier who talked us through each red wine we tasted was very knowledgeable and pleasant. She was cheerful and fun. Out of the five wines I tasted, I really enjoyed three of them and would have bought more bottles except the wine is a bit on the pricey side. It's more of a special dinner or special occasion wine.

My friends and I did the golf cart tour with Dennis and we had a phenomenal time! Dennis was so knowledgeable and made our tour so fun and interesting. I think we tried about 7 different wines and at the end of the tour sat in a nice shaded area and had a small charcuterie board. Everything here was amazing, but my only critique would be to have a little more charcuterie because we were hungry. Well worth the cost! 10/10

This place is awesome! Stopped by to pick up our shipment recently and had one of the best tasting experiences ever. An unexpected treat, but Julian made us feel welcomed and at home. If you are looking for good wine, quaint settings, and knowledgeable friendly "wine educators", this is the place for you. Goes without saying, the wine is amazing, but the service is second to none.

My husband has been wanting to come here for so long, and we finally made it. Well worth the wait!! Absolutely beautiful property and such a nice tasting. I can't remember our hosts name but she was wonderful, she gave us some extra wines based on our tatses from discussion. Our favorites were the Rose of Cab Franc, seriously one of the best roses I've ever had! A rich color, and very complex flavors. She let us try a 2012 Arrowhead to compare to some of the other cabs, and that was a favorite too, we ended up taking both home. The Ganymede and Tomahawk were also some of my favorites. We will definitely be back, as we're now members. With their membership you can go here and Rutherford Hill, as well as Sanford in Santa Barbara.

Visited this past fall for the Estate Tour and Barrel Tasting​. Not even the freezing cold and rainy weather could dampen our experience. Glass in hand (although I would​ have preferred coffee at that point...brrrrrr), our party toured a great part of the estate, tasted wine directly from the barrels (such a great highlight!), and ended with a formal, seated tasting of the current wine releases. Artisan cheeses and crackers accompanied the tasting in our very own quaint private tasting salon. Our host, "wine educator," was clearly passionate about her job. She had facts and stories for days. You know what they say about ATTITUDE...". . . ​it's contagious, have one you'd like to catch!" In this case, it worked. I love and obsess over wine, but I only belong to a ver​y small number of wine clubs. I can now count myself as a new member of Chimney Rock's! Highly recommended.

Came here Tuesday 7/28 for the first time. My guest and I were the only guests booked at our time slot of 12:30pm. Wines were light & refreshing; including the reds. We had a great view of the rectangular water pool/fountain which was very calming & relaxing on a warm summer day. We sat at the table not the outdoor lounge furniture. Vineyard located infront of the parking lot for some great pictures. Grapes are growing :D Server was friendly and knowledgeable of surrounding wineries. Stopping here is a must!

We just returned from Napa and visited 13 vineyards during our 3 full days there (2 were full tours). This was our last stop of the day - the staff made the tasting a truly enjoyable conclusion to our travel down the Silverado Trail. home to some of the most elegant Cabernet Sauvignon produced on American soil. We sampled several top-rated wines in this charming tasting room and strolled outside to take in the view of their vineyard. The 119-acre vineyards surround some of Silverado Trail's most striking architecture. The Cape Dutch-style winery buildings, modeled after wineries in South Africa, gleam with whitewashed walls, high roofs, and curved gables. The dramatic Palisades, a cluster of jagged basalt formations high on Atlas Ridge, form the backdrop for the graceful stucco structures.

4.5 STARS When the roommate told his sommelier friend we were going to Napa, his friend suggested we check out Chimney Rock. I wanted to get a wine tasting in after lunch, so we stopped by on Sunday, July 30th around 3:45pm. Tasting - Winemaker's Selection ($50): I listed the bottle prices below. *2013 Elevage ($110 regular / $99 club) *2012 Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon ($88 regular / $79.20 club) *2013 Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon ($85 regular / $76.50 club) *2013 Arete ($110 regular / $99 club) *2013 Ganymede Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ($155 regular / $139.50 club) This is their standard tasting above. No reservation required. We just walked in, stood at their counter, and started the tasting. One tasting fee is waived with a two bottle purchase of their red wines, so we didn't pay for our tasting. Though I don't know if you can get two tastings comped with four bottles as the roomie and I just shared one. (We did end up buying four bottles.) The guy who guided us through the tasting was super sweet and knowledgeable. We ended up tasting a lot more wines than the ones listed above. *2014 Sauvignon Blanc ($28 regular / $25.20 club) *2006 SLD Cabernet Sauvignon ($126 regular / $113.40 club) *2013 Cabernet Franc ($82 regular / $73.80 club) *2013 Tomahawk ($155 regular / $139.50 club) *2014 Arrowhead Vineyard ($110 regular / $99 club) *2014 Tomahawk Vineyard ($110 regular / $99 club) *2005 SLD Cabernet Sauvignon We tasted the extra wines above, so all together we tasted 12 wines. It was a nice one and a half hour tasting. It wasn't too busy, so we could take our time and talk about the wines we liked. I'm not super familiar with Chimney Rock, so I wanted to taste everything to determine the ones we should buy. At one point, I wanted to compare the 2013 and 2014 tomahawks side by side and they were nice enough to pour us more so we could figure out which one we liked best. In the end, we ended up buying two bottles each of the 2013 ganymede and the 2013 tomahawk. We kept two and the roommate bought the other two for his friend. Nice stop after our very decadent lunch. Especially since I was alcohol free during our meal. Make sure to check out the barrel room as it's a nice space. They were doing construction while we were there, but it was still nice exploring the grounds. One of the pricier wineries, but definitely worth checking out.

Definitely wouldn't recommend and wouldn't be stepping foot in this place again. We made a reservation for 12 and flew a bunch of people out of town to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday who is a member at this winery. Upon arrival, they told us we had too many people and couldn't be accommodated. We decided to split the group and have half of us leave. Despite all that effort to be understanding, the workers were extremely rude to the half that stayed back and unwilling to accommodate the group despite the fact that we had a reservation for at least 12. All in all, this was an extremely disappointing experience and the lack of empathy and compassion from the staff was alarming. We decided to cancel our membership and discontinue supporting this winery as they don't put any efforts in people who go above and beyond to help support them. Will definitely not be coming here again. Don't waste your time, there are plenty of other good wineries in the area that has been incredible during the numerous times I have been here.

We are wine club members here and theres a reason why. 1) I love the wines that they make here, especially their Cabernet Sauvignon. Everything about it is memorable. Give me a blind taste test and I'll tell you which ones are from Chimney Rock. What makes them special is that they use their own grapes, many of them in the vineyards you see when you pull in. Wines are every high quality and you can tell the winemaker is very dedicated at her job. Their bottles are on the higher side (ranges from $60 to $120) but its totally worth it in my opinion...as long as they dont go up dramatically! Tastings are also pricey at $50/person but wine club members are able to get this fee waived. 2) Servers and tour guides are excellent. I've had tastings in both the public and the members only tasting room. I have to say that the public tasting room is a lot better if you wanted to be educated on the wines. If you want more privacy, the members only tasting room is probably a better option. I also went on a members tour recently and the tour guide did a great job at explaining the vineyards and answering our questions. 3) The estate is beautiful. The buildings are actually influenced from South Africa I believe. Its very picturesque. The room in the back with the chandeliers is breathtaking. I like how its also appointment only so that the grounds are never crowded with people. Tips: make an appointment as they are appointment only. I've seen one couple come in without an appointment and they were able to accommodate. Not sure how often this happens. Join the wine club :) Its worth it, trust me.

This is one of our favorite vineyards in all of Napa Valley!! I don't want to write this post bc I don't want anyone to go so it stays small and personalized but I also want you to try their luxurious wine and for them to make lots of money! This place is a staple for us. We have been members for a while and we look forward to our quarterly shipment. These are very robust and full bodied red wines. Obviously, bc it's Napa, many Cabs, but also Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This is a very small vineyard, so their wines are relatively expensive, but if you want quality this is the place to be. I cannot recommend this place enough. You will not be disappointed.
