Elyse Winery

While a higher end tasting ($75+), this is a beautifully manicured property with really knowledgeable staff. Parking was plentiful, and they were dog friendly, even offering my pup snacks (both of which were important for me!). I tend to like their reds more, but nothing wrong with their white wine either! The reds were memorable though: all three were absolutely gorgeous wines with a lot of depth and nuance. A lovely memory on my Napa trip!

Wow, me and my wife's first Napa wine tasting experience occurred this past week at Elyse, and it was surely one we will never forget (for good reasons!). Dean guided us through our tasting of many great wines from Elyse and Addax, and was a blast to socialize with during our tasting as well. Safe to say we bought a couple of bottles to bring home on the East Coast! Thank you Dean and Elyse Winery for the wonderful experience!

My family went to this winery yesterday and were blown away with what a great tasting experience we had. First off, we went with our infant and two year old toddler, and this winery was very accommodating. We were seated on a patio section and it was very private so my two year old could run around and play. Second, the wine was extraordinary. But, what made this tasting truly the best we experienced in Napa, was our host, Dean. He sat at the table with us and really got to know us and what we liked. He tailored the tasting based on that. He also had the best stories and was so easy-going and fun. He made our tasting truly memorable. We tried probably around 8-10 wines with very generous pours for $50/person. However, if you purchase three bottles (all ranging from $35-200/bottle), the tasting fee was waived. We ended up buying 6 bottles to get the tasting fees waived and left very happy. We will definitely be back!

Elyse produces some truly great Napa varietals from their relatively small operation. They can almost always be depended upon for the quality of their wine as representative of the land on which it is grown. Highly recommended.

10:30am rez on a Saturday… our 1st stop of the day, & it was our FAVORITE! Kristopher was super chill and knowledgeable… he didn’t DUMP a bunch of info on us all at once. He really allowed us to come up with questions and he took it from there. Great experience, & we’d recommend for sure!

This was one of my stops on a wine tour of Napa, and it didn’t disappoint! Great small winery with a laid back and friendly attitude. Brook helped us with our tour and tasting, and she did a great job providing a history on the winery and also introducing us to the vineyard dogs! I would definitely recommend stopping here, but make sure you have a reservation ahead of time (at least during Covid restrictions).

We had such a great time tasting at Elyse last week. All of the wines were incredible, we wanted to take them all home! Dean was our host and he had so much energy and knowledge, we had a great time! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a laid back but informative atmosphere with seriously delicious wines.

I ran into the owner a while back he mentioned his winery. I went with a friend to check it out months later. It was on our way going to Yountville. The place looks small but the selection of good 🍷 wine is amazing! If you want to get your money's worth on wine tasting, you have to hit this winery. Literally one of the best wine tastings I've ever been too and I have been to many. The Pinot was delicious!
