I absolutely love it here! The staff gives such detailed explanations about the wines, and you can only buy these exclusive wines right here, not anywhere else. The pizza they served during the wine tasting was super delicious. I’d definitely recommend this place to my friends!

We had the most spectacular time on our tour. We went to the wrong location first so we’re late but everything was great and the staff was so accommodating and understanding. Touring the cave and getting so much history and background while sipping on so many amazing varietals made for the most pleasant afternoon. Our guide was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions with ease. While the newer location looked gorgeous, the original cave tour and the hospitality from our guide really made our day. The pizza served after the tasting was good, but the sandwich?!?!? WOW! The bread used for the panini is perfection! (Apologies, I forgot our guide’s name, but included a screenshot with him in it.)

Exclusive, ambient, personal, and overall excellent experience!!! Of all the vineyards we’ve been to, this has now taken the top spot! Such a private and intimate setting, amazing guides/hosts, and the wine- oh sooooo elevated and fine! Our guide Kyle was amazing, super knowledgeable, and there’s just something great about being able to taste wine straight from the barrel- raw and exquisite at the same time! Definitely book in advance and enjoy this wonderful experience!!! We will definitely be back and also visit the other locations!

My husband and I visited Del Dotto for our anniversary, hoping for a memorable and refined wine tasting experience. Unfortunately, what we got was underwhelming at best. Our tour guide, Glen, didn’t even introduce himself until I asked for his name well into the tour. While we expected to learn about the wine and the winemaking process, much of the tour was spent listening to Glen go on and on about his boss—so much so that it felt more like a fan club meeting than a wine tasting. As for the wine, it was decent, but certainly not worth the hefty price tag. For a place that markets itself as high-end, we anticipated a tasting that matched the cost and hype. Instead, we were left unimpressed. The biggest letdown came at the end: frozen pizza and tater tots. Yes, that was the grand food pairing. For a winery that prides itself on offering a premium experience, this felt like a joke—and not a funny one. It was a poor, mismatched ending to an already lackluster experience. Overall, Del Dotto felt more like a tourist trap than a genuine celebration of wine. Sadly, we walked away feeling disappointed and a bit taken advantage of. Not the anniversary experience we had hoped for.

My wife and I had a great experience at Del Dotto! While I am definitely not a wine connoisseur, this tasting experience made me feel like I was. The venue was beautiful, the “cave” was neat, and our guide Taylor was very knowledgeable. The pizza was pretty good too!

It was my first time tasting wine out of a French & American oak barrel in a cave and the experience was phenomenal. Thomas, our guide/sommelier, made it fun and he’s so charismatic. The fresh-in-house pizza that they served at the end of the tour was yummy. The whole staff and venue was outstanding. The tour and cost of the wine was worth it.

I brought my Aunt here for a tour after Thanksgiving and we had the most amazing experience. I believe our guide was Carson (sorry if that is wrong). He was extremely knowledgeable and made sure every question or thought was important and addressed. The wine was amazing, even out of the barrel, which tells you that the bottle will be better. My Aunt was very impressed and excited to learn more about wine. Thank you!!!

PJ was an amazing tour guide! We were able to taste the wine directly out of the barrels in the cave which made the experience extra unique. At the end of the tour they also gave us delicious sandwiches and pizza. Highly recommend and will definitely be back the next time we visit Napa!

Overly sales'ee!! Rushed experience, multiple tours crossing over each other in the so called "cave".. hard to hear our tour guide over other tour guides... overall experience, not worth the price; go elsewhere However, The good: did the $225 wine/food, pairing experience, kudos to the kitchen staff, small bites were all very good... that's where the good experience ended

Ment to book a cave tour at Piazza Del dotto but came here instead. Make sure to confirm your reservations because they have multiple locations. Both locations were breathtaking. Our cave tour took place at the Del Dotto estates, the one with the chandaliers and beautiful ceiling. I felt like we walked into Italy, I guess it was ment to be no regrets. Our tour guide was very educated and super friendly which made us all feel at ease. Small group which made it more intimate. I had a great time there, and the pizza and tots we had later were very fresh. I will most certainly recommend it to friends and family.

Disappointing wine tour. We paid for the cave tour and you're literally walking up and down a hallway. The tour also felt very rushed as you're enjoying your wines. It said the tour was 90 minutes but it ended up being around 45 min. The rest of the time you're eating snacks they bring out at the end. It would have also been nice to know about the snacks cause we had booked an early dinner. Wine is good but wouldn't recommend the tour

What a great place. This was my very first wine tasting experience, and I don't think it could've gone any better. My girlfriend said this one was so much better & way more interesting than the first one she did. We stopped in at the spare moment and they were able to add us to the group that was starting in 10 minutes. Doug was our wine tasting tour guide and he was full of information and interesting facts. I'm still not a fan of wine, but I'm very glad I did it, and I enjoyed every minute of it. The caves were really cool. And the food that we were served afterwards was very tasty. I would recommend it to anyone here visiting.

This place is so beautiful, until the wine tour guide opens his mouth. Look, if you want to get wasted very quickly, by all means, book this place. They will give you so much wine that by the end of the tour you cannot taste the difference between them. They know - they give you pizza and tater tots to soak it all up at the end. If that sounds good to you, great, but understand this was my least favorite wine tasting I've had, and it wasn't exactly cheap either. Our guide ruined this experience for me. I wasn't enjoying the wines, but I noticed there were many available that we weren't tasting. I asked if I could choose one and he said yes (woohoo!) but when I told him which one he looked at me funny and said "really? that one?" It was my favorite wine of the tour. If you're going to be pretentious about the wine, at least be right. I'm not mad I went because my friends and I now reminisce about "the bad winery" and we laugh about how much of a ... meanie ... our guide was. "You mean the one who implied that he dated Kim Kardashian? He wishes." If they are cool with being remembered that way, more power to them. But if you like wine and like having a good experience, pick something else. There are so many to try.

Great place to add to your Napa Wine Tasting Trip. The cave tasting is an amazing experience. It was so cool to walk through the caves and see the barrels full of delicious wine. My favorite is their Cabernet Sauvignon. Absolute perfection. Our group of six was treated very well and we all really enjoyed our time here. I definitely recommend this winery and make sure to book in advance. You won't regret it.

We popped in last minute because family moved in right down the street. No wonder Napa is suffering..... when you're rude, pretentious and expensive no wonder the younger generation isn't drinking wine. It should be fun relaxed and welcoming. Not to mention I work in the wine business and have for over 30 years ( no industry love here) not even interested in what I did or who I work for. Unless your local no discount, wasn't expecting one just letting her know we were industry folk (she literally could care less) i do sell imports was just making conversation she never even looked at my card so we picked it up and left. Theres so many wines and wineries dont bother going here go someplace where they are polite, engaging and welcoming! That's what wine is about.

Girls' first trip to Napa to celebrate my 70th birthday. Del Dotto was our first winery and it was the best! We were greeted by friendly staff and given a glass of rose. We were introduced to our host Jeff and the tour began. Jeff was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient and fun! The tour through the cave was interesting and we learned quite a bit of history. Who knew there was a difference between French white oak and American white oak? The wines are taken right out of the barrel and they are very good. We enjoyed each glass. At the end of the tour you are treated with homemade sourdough pizzas and panini sandwiches which were delicious. So glad that Del Dotto was our first introduction to Napa wineries and we couldn't have had a better host than Jeff. We are looking forward to visiting again.

We went for a tasting many years ago and have been in the wine club ever since. If you are a fan of dry reds, theirs are consistently great. All of their wines are of consistently high quality. They recently surprised us with a GSM that did not disappoint. Highly recommend!

Del Dotto was wonderful. Wine and cave tours then at the end you get pastrami sandwiches and pizza. The ambiance is dim and romantic in the caves but really lit up in the lobby and main area. The service was great they give you so much history and knowledge while on the tour. It was a fun time.

Oh My! This was a very unexpected stop on our last day in Napa and we just loved it. PRIOR TO COVID. We drove by this winery daily but since we had most of our trip planned we didn't think to stop. On our last day we had some time to kill before our flight so we walked in. Lucky for us they accept walk ins and the next tour was starting in 10 minutes and they had room for two more. It was so fun! It was super informative and so cool to walk through the caves. Sampled so much, so it was worth the fee along with a charcuterie board at the end, along with some yummy chocolate. I definitely recommend and it'll be on our list next time we are back intown.

I've heard a lot about the wine tasting tour in a cave in Napa and finally had the chance to check it out recently. It's not cheap. The tour + wine tasting costs $75 per person. If you have folks in your party who don't drink or are DD for the day, they can join in for $25. The tour lasts 1.5 hours, over which you learn about the history of the winery and the other Del Dotto locations, how the wine is aged in barrels, how the barrels are made, etc. I definitely recommend booking in advance. My group of 3 booked on Monday for a Saturday tasting, and only 3 time slots were left. The earlier you book, the more options you have timing-wise. Come prepared to drink as there are many pours. If you're planning to stop by a couple wineries, I wouldn't recommend coming here last. I counted and by the end we were at 12 wines, including the sauvignon blanc we got at the beginning when we first checked in. Keep in mind most of the wines you'll be tasting on this tour are reds / red blends. I prefer white wines personally, so a lot of the wines we tried weren't up my alley, but it was still an interesting experience. My favorite was the 2015 Piazza Reserve cab we got at the very end; it went down SO smoothly. After the tour, our group was provided with some charcuterie and two pizzas, one sausage and one zucchini. What a nice way end to a great tour! It's a bit chilly inside, so I recommend wearing a cardigan or light shawl if you tend to get cold easily.

Nice wine tasting experience inside the cave but expensive. Had 5 kinds of reds, were all delicious. End up buying 2 bottles. The pizza and panini was delicious and hot from the oven.

First time at this location after visiting the Estate around five years ago. PJ was a great host down in the cave area. We got to learn a lot and also taste some amazing wines. The charcuterie tray was delicious, as was the poet that followed.

Our host, Chris, totally laid out the red carpet for our group of 3. He's so knowledgeable and accommodating which enhanced our experience. We sat outside on the patio facing the gorgeous colorful foliage and vineyard to enjoy the weather. During our wine tasting we noshed on charcuterie, cheese, a mouth-watering heirloom tomato & fig salad and pizza that tasted like they flew it in from Italy. The wines he poured for us were divine! I cannot wait to visit again. Enjoy!

I purchased over $2500 worth of wine to elevate to the VIP Wine club member status, I was promised a list of membership benefits. The qualifying purchase was an additional 6 L large format for $1900!! .... Then SHOCKER .... and being "sold on the benefits" I was told a week later .... none of the events are available the rest of the year!! Fake membership !!

If I'm being honest, I was pretty underwhelmed by our tasting at Del Dotto Historic Winery & Caves. We had a 3pm tour time on a Saturday in late March and for better or worse my two friends and I were in a group with a wine club member. There's nothing wrong with being a member of a wine club, I mean I think it's great(!), but when this former frat-boy told us over and over about how he's a member of the winery, it got old pretty fast. And, honestly, good job - you became a member because you purchased $2,500+ in wine, cool. Moving on... Our host, Kyle, was decent although not nearly as good as some of the hosts we had at other wineries (Shane at Nickel & Nickel, Reed at Far Niente, etc.). He was able to tell us about the various barrels and we tried a decent selection of wines. We arrived to the 2017 Piazza Rose Bubbles and although sweet, pretty good. The 2016 Cave Blend was great. I didn't particularly care for the Dolores Red Port (dessert wine). The Cabs that we tried (2015 Vineyard 887 and 2015 Villa Del Lago) were decent but I found myself pouring out more wine at Del Dotto than at any of the other wineries we visited, combined. Once we went through the cave, I thought the cheese/meat and pizzas were going to be the best part - don't get me wrong, the potential was there - but former frat-boy and co. definitely dominated the snack consumption. Maybe our experience would've been better if it was a private tour but for the money I already forked over, it just wasn't worth it. The experience had potential but I probably won't return... after all, meh, I've experienced better.

Very average experience. The tour was super short. This is just a tasting experience with a short cave tour. There aren't any vineyards here. For the best cave tour we've had, go to Schramsberg. If you want to stick with Del Dotto, I hear that the Piazza location is much better Everyone is very friendly, but for $120 per person, there are better options out there.

We had an amazing experience with our cave tour. Our tour guide was full of info and very enthusiastic about our experience and knowledgeable about the wine and the industry overall. Wines were delicious - too bad the wine club had a wait list! And even the panini and pizza at the end were delicious. We visited many wineries in Napa, and Del Dotto was a Top Fave.

Del Dotto Historic Winery & Caves was by far the smoothest, most delightful experience on our Napa tour. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical on the ambiance at first. The green backlit tunnels seem a bit dated, that rope lighting ambiance that was all the rage between 2000-2010 but fell out of favor and didn't quite gel with the rest of the oldie but still impressive architecture. And the rest is impressive! The iron wrought gates, the naturally carved tunnels, the large entry - it is rather fun! My friends and I went on the tour and our guide was awesome. He had a Rick Steves cadence about him - politely cheery, very informative, lots of history tidbits, and kept things moving. The pours were extremely generous and he even permitted a little second tasting for those debating between bottles. After the tour they gave us food - cured meats and a little pizza! It was the best snacks by far. It was also the most expensive so there's that. I really enjoyed myself here!

We came here for our 1st wine tour in Napa in the caves ever for my wife's birthday weekend. Man it was a really cool experience to go into their caves where all the barrels sit and be walked through the process. When you arrive here, they have a waiting area where they have some small samples to taste, and you're behind a iron gate before they call your group in for your tour. Our guide was very nice, had a great sense of humor, and was extremely knowledgable about Del Dotto's wine, and just the wine aging and making process in general, we were super impressed. We got to try so many wines straight from the barrel right there inside the caves. When you come back from the tour you get to hang for a bit and eat some of their fresh made pizza, and try some chocolate with the wine too. I would do this again at Del Dotto's no doubt if given the chance to.

Good pours and really neat pictures. Our guide Analise was literally one of the sweetest/funnest guides I've had in Napa. I actually learned a ton here because I'd never tried tasting the Same wine from Different barrels. Allll us girls preferred French barrels and the guys in our group All preferred American! I also loved tasting the difference between the entry wines and the deluxe wines- it was fun to taste the difference between a $100 and $200 bottle wine. Also, there was hot Pizza at the end!

Came to Nappa and was advised that if I did just one wine tasting tour, it had to be this one! I agree. I didn't have anything to compare at that point, but I doubt there are tours much better than this. First os, the estates are beautiful. The view of the vineyards is amazing. The cave where the wine barrels are aged is exactly how I imagined they would be. The tour itself is a little pricey, but it is worth it. You get to try quite a selection including their more expensive wines. There is some flat breads, cheese and olives after the tour as well. I didn't drink all the offerings, and I myself was a little tipsy in the end. I have yet to see Del Dotto wines anywhere other than at their state. We were told that some local restaurants and wineries, but I didn't see it. You can get their wines on line and through catalogue. All in all it was an awesome experience. Would definitely do it again.

My wonderful niece took me here today just for fun. Seem she appreciated this spot from a prior experience. Our group was 4 persons @ 2:00 on a boring Tuesday. We really enjoyed having Carson take us on this adventure. He was fun, down to earth, as well as knowledgeable. We will be back !

We had a great time at Del Dottie! Booked the first tour of the day for 10 am and as soon as we got there, which was a few minutes early. They opened the doors for us and signed us in. Upon sign in we were poured a welcome drink of Rose which was a refreshing way to start our tasting. We were then greeted by Doug our tour guide and wine expert. He was super personable and extremely knowledgeable about the wine process and the wines at Del Dotto. After touring the caves and wine tasting we were poured one more glass of wine, which was complimented with a cheese and meats plate and pizza. All were delicious and paired great with the wine. We walked away with several bottles of wine and a great after taste ;-)! I definitely recommend this winery if you are looking to taste from the barrel and walk through caves.

First time in California, first time in Napa and first Vineyard on my trip... and I'm so happy I chose Del Dotto. Came here about 10am on a Thursday with a reservation. $60 for the tastings and it comes with a tour, and some foods at the end like pizza, bread sticks, cheese and salami. All the food was really good and was a good attempt to sober us up a little!! We tried about 8 different wines. Most were reds including Pino Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon but we also got to taste a Rose and a bubbly Brut Cuvée. I really liked how they emphasized how the barrels significantly affect the flavor compounds of the wine. Our tour guide was Doug and he was great! He was so nice and I loved all the knowledge and history he shared with us. I'm not sure how other wine tours go, but this one offered very extensive knowledge. It was especially great because I was so unfamiliar with the Napa area and about how wine is processed and made in general, but he answered ALLL of our ignorant questions lol. Moreover, exploring the caves during the tour was a really unique experience for me.

Service was terrible, we had reservations but left bc the server was so rude. Dog was unleashed and got scolded for touching the dog wo permission. When we got in, we quickly felt that we were not welcome or if they did not have a meat/cheese board. I would avoid this spot as there are tons of many other places.

I highly recommend the famous Del Dotto "cave tour." There's a couple points that especially sell it, in my mind: 1. It's different. The wine barrels are literally stored in a cave underground. It's dark and atmospheric down there, even on a tour! 2. It's a very polished experience from start to finish. I've done this tour three times over the years with various groups, and we have always been impressed. 3. It's trendy / it's well-known. If you have guests visiting from out of town, that's kind of perfect! This makes a great way to spend time with visitors who "want to experience Napa." 4. It's literally cool. Napa gets hot As Fudge. The Del Dotto caves are niiiiice and cool! Popping in for a tour is a perfect way to beat the heat. They are popular so don't literally just pop in. Make a reservation. 5. They serve pizza and snacks after the tour, for free (included in the price actually). 6. Not to bury the lede, but they have heavy pours. If you do this tour, you won't want to schedule anything else for a few hours after. You definitely feel like you get your money's worth for the tour here. Worth the visit!

UNLESS YOUR A WINE ENTHUSIAST, the $120 dollar tour is not worth it . The whole tour was just inside the cave and at the end they give you 711 type pizza and tater tots . It was actually pretty funny being served such cheap food after hearing how well off the owner is & being in such a beautiful, high class feeling place. The wines were all red, great good sized pours.

This is a very different experience than one you will get from any other winery in the area... and totally worth it! The moment you walk in the door you are greeted with a glass of wine, or two, while you wait for the rest of the tour group. The tour is through a short path of hand dug caves filled with barrels! Along the way tasting from a few barrels. Our guide was very knowledgeable about what the wine process and what we could expect the wine bottled to taste like. After the caves we were off to taste more wine, this time bottled, and enjoy some homemade pizza and a meat and cheese platter. A fun experience worth adding to your wine tasting plans!

The place is gorgeous & beautiful entrance, the wines are just okay. We los for the over priced cabs tour & is a waste of the time. Our tour guide was totally into being friends & not sure what she knew about the wines. Also no real cave tour, we just went from a barrel to another barrel of wine but NO CAVE TOUR. Over priced taste that was a joke!!

Had the best time at Del Dotto Winery. Opted for a cave tour/ tasting and it was SO worth it! We got to try a good amount of wines - so you def get your moneys worth! Best part was being able to do a French and American barrel tasting back to back to see the difference! HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone in the area! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and attentive. Pro tip- if you want another taste - just ask to revisit the wine! Doesn't hurt that at the end of the tour they give you pizza/ a cheese plate! Highly recommend and we will for sure be buying bottles of their wine for years to come!

A great unique tasting experience! As a Bay Area native, I make frequent trips to Napa to try wineries and this was one of my top 3 tasting experiences I've had! I will admit that I made the mistake of avoiding this winery and not taking it seriously due to the publicity the Kardashians kept giving it. I will admit when I'm wrong, this place is great! We messed up and went to the wrong property (Piazza just 5 minutes up the road) and they kindly called the other property and informed them we made a mistake and were on our way. The staff was very kind and accommodating catching us up when we were 10 minutes late due to our mistake. You step inside the winery and instantly feel like you're in a Venetian palace with all of the beautiful Italian design and decor. I loved getting to wander through the caves lined with barrels and beautiful chandeliers! They ask that you don't take photos during the tour, but let you take photos at the end before you exit the cave. We got to taste wines straight out of the barrel. I loved getting to experience both the American and French oak barrels! I wish I remembered her name, but our guide was very knowledgeable and fun! After we exited the caves, we were given a few more wines and snacks! I was in a hurry that morning and didn't have time to eat breakfast before the tasting, so the pizza and scrumptious tater tots were a very nice treat to pair with the wines. I went to a few wineries after Del Dotto that day and everything seemed underwhelming after our experience of high quality wines, lively guide, friendly staff, and stunning architecture!

My brother, his girlfriend and I were guided to Del Dotto by yelp back in May. It's was my brother's birthday and we were celebrating. We didn't make an appointment with Del Dotto in advance, but we walked in to inquire about a tasting anyway. After a short wait we were informed that we could pay the full price for the tasting and try some wine. Fair right? We basically stood at the entrance for about 48 minutes and tasted a few wines. I wish they would've actually turned us away. While all of their other clients were enjoying what looked like a tour, courtyard, and excellent service/experience we were treated rather poorly. Considering the prices of their bottles and tastings I would say we did not get what we paid for. Not to mention the unprofessionalism of the white male pouring for us. He couldn't hide his disdain for my family. He openly badmouthed us to the women behind the desk as though we were so uneducated we wouldn't understand. My brother was definitely talking too much considering he had more wine than food in him. However, when working with people or in service the client should never feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. I bought a rose from Del Dotto and it's been in my fridge since May. I can't bring myself to drink it. I hate that I purchased it and I hate the memories made here. So as I gifted it away at a housewarming last night, I recalled that my yelp for this place was OVERDUE. I wouldn't recommend this place when there are so many other wonderful people to visit in Napa and enjoy a glass of wine with.

Could not have had a better experience at this wine tour and tasting. We came on a Tuesday morning, and kept switching our reservation time because traffic anticipation kept changing. they were very graceful about it and didn't give us any trouble. When we got there we were the only people for the tour at that hour so we ended up getting a private tour!!!! Glen was our tour guide and he taught us everything from the origin of the caves and the winery to how to taste wine to facts about Napa. Extremely easy going and fun to listen to and talk to. The tour adapts as they find out about your wine tastes so that is really special. At the conclusion of the tour you end with a food and wine pairing which was unexpected but timely because we were starving (and drunk) after the tour.... such a great value for the tour and tasting, could not recommend it more for first timers to napa!!!

Del Dotto Caves are very close to the Silverado Resort, where a handful of my girlfriends and I just enjoyed a relaxing weekend together away from our homes. After massages in the morning, we scheduled a cave tour and wine tasting at Del Dotto. Our guide was very friendly and told us a lot about the wines we were tasting - right out of the barrels! When the tour was done we enjoyed hot pizza and cold salami in the lobby of the winery. The wine was great and it was a fun way to enjoy it and learn about the way that it is made and more. The tour was pricey ($75.00 each), so it's not something I would go back and do again, but we did have a nice time.

Very expensive for the tour, where you drank out of the cask young wine. We were served frozen pizza and tater tots. The building is beautiful and I expected that with the atmosphere, that the tasting would be more classy.

My favorite stop in Napa! Matt was our guide for a batchlorette party that I hosted and he was absolute incredible. He tailored the tour to our preferences and gave us a ton of knowledge on Del Dotto's unique process and wine making in general. He was a true pro and the wine was seriously good, even though it wasn't 100% ready since it was barrel tastings. This winery was the only one I tasted and ordered bottles to be shipped home. Thanks Del Dotto for making our weekend unforgettable.
