HALL Wines St. Helena

Hall wines are delicious and the tasting included some tasty cheese as well. The tour left us disappointed as it was mostly focused on the art pieces around the facility, rather than the wine making. It seems the emphasis was about how rich the owners are.

Best All Around Winery we visited over the weekend. Joego was our guide at the tasting and answered all of our questions. He was obviously knowledgeable about the wines and winemaking but also knew how to show us a good time. Taylor helped us as well! To top it off, you are surrounded by art inside and out along with the beauty of the building and natural beauty of the surroundings. We joined the wine club and will come back to St. Helena with friends and try the Rutherford tasting in the future.

I recently had a wine tasting for the Platinum collection experience at Hall winery. The service was truly fantastic. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. Because of that, I wanted to take a moment to share my positive experience. The management team was also excellent. In summary, I can’t express enough how satisfied I was with service and wine. It was great in every way, and I would highly recommend it to others. I look forward to going again in the future! Thanks again to the entire team for making my experience so wonderful,

Staff: Friendly, provided a lot of information while we tasted the recommended red wines Wine: Good taste, but that's subjective anyway. Some grapes are coming from other vineyards Property: Super nice Prices: pricy af… Conclusion: I'm no expert and I can fully understand if you're into wine and like the Hall so you spend >$100 on a bottle, but there are much cheaper and better (from my perspective). So no recommendation

It’s NAPA so a lot of the same. Had a nice cheese plate with a tasting. Grounds are as nice as any other place. Wines were good. Some better than others but everyone has their own likes. Service was friendly.

What an amazing tour of the grounds. We ended up getting a membership which also includes exclusive wine tastings on their private patio, private events and quarterly wine allocations. We were given a tour around the grounds and even tastes some of the grapes. Really loved the architecture and artwork too. At the end of our tour we were also given a selection of cheeses and nuts in a private room. Loved how friendly and welcoming the staff was!

Great tasting - beautiful setting at sunset by the fire. Wines were excellent and so was the service. As always, Hall Cabs are wonderful!

The sign out front says “walk-ins” welcome. A reservation is not required. However, at 3pm on Tuesday I was told you were too busy for a tasting by one of the 4 people at the front desk. There was hardly anyone there. Extremely rude. The wine is overrated.

We've been Hall members since Dec of 2024 and visit the St. Helena location several times annually--but our July 2025 visit truly stood out thanks to Alex Le Clerc, our wine educator that day. Alex was hands down the best wine educator we've ever had at Hall. He struck the perfect balance between being attentive and allowing us space to savor the wines and the atmosphere. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. For example, earlier in the tasting I had mentioned wanting more shade. Without any reminder, Alex later moved us to a shadier table when one became available--such a thoughtful touch! He also noticed we were short on space and brought over an extra coffee table so we could relax without juggling our glasses and personal items. That level of service made an already great tasting experience feel effortless and special. Hall never disappoints, but Alex elevated our visit to another level. Looking forward to coming back soon!

We pass this by throughout the years we've been going to Napa so we stopped to check it out. WOW! We ordered a glass of wine and walked around . Impressive. Upstairs you can do tasting and sit in the balcony looking out to the vineyard and go down the stairs and walk and sitting areas everywhere . So relaxing. Now I know why my son became a member of the winery.

There is so much natural beauty in Napa to take in... There is so much great wine in Napa to consume... There is so much great service to experience in Napa... Why did we end up at a sterile, tastelessly expensive, and non-friendly winery like Hall you say? If you want to know why, ask 'Laveńa' from Miami who gave us the recommendation because we are no longer speaking to her for this nasty recommendation! It was tough to decide which was worse, the wine or the service. There were 6 parties tasting wine; five being serviced by 1 team member and 1 couple being serviced by 1 team member. The service as beyond slow and short as the one team member was hustling to service the five groups and didn't have time to explain anything we were being served. Kudos for the free show' as one team member reprimanded another for giving an extra tasting of the sparkling wine that is only for Club Members. I don't feel this place was suffering from lack of employees as the front desk had 6 team members just chatting and hanging out as we walked out. Please get some help for the lone wine server upstairs! Now the wine... well... let's just not. It's the first time our party emptied all of glasses into the spittoons once the wine server turned her back! Skip this place and enjoy your wine elsewhere Napa!

Hall is a winery known for their bold cabernets. They have great wine and their tasting room is on a beautiful property filled with art, vineyards and friendly staff. Our host Colton was super friendly, had a great sense of humor and was attentive to our group. We sat out by their grass area and had a great time. Though I believe Hall has moved to a more commercial/corporate style winery, staff such as Colton are what make it feel homey. If you like taking selfies and sharing in the spotlight there's plenty of space to do so here, if you enjoy a more private setting there are other smaller wineries in the area that provide a more intimate setting. All in all, Hall is a great place to visit for some great reds in the area!

This is a great winery to visit while in Napa. They do accept walk-ins so you don't have to make reservations which is rare when it comes to Napa wineries. They served us an amazing class of white wine and were not over the top expensive. I believe for food items they have charcuterie boards and appetizers, however we didn't order any food. The ambiance is amazing! Amazing vineyards the winery is actually pretty large in size. I would recommend for your next trip to Napa!

My friend is a member at Hall wines and part of her membership includes complimentary tastings at not one but three locations; Hall, Walt and Baca. We come for the complimentary tastings and sit in the members lounge with the comfy white seats in the lawn area and enjoy the spring and summer weather. Alex has helped us both times that we came here! He has a lot of knowledge on the wines from being a wine lover himself and he knows a lot about the history of wines. I love Hall for their selection of Cabernets, they are always lovely! I love their seating areas for tastings and the views here are so beautiful especially being close to the vineyards. A lot of times when wine tasting you are stuck in a tasting room but the best part of being here is getting to be outside and sip your wine in the members lounge. Members have the option to change out their wine shipment with anything from their tastings with I think it's awesome because then you get to choose the wines you like. The property has tons of art pieces that have been collected over time and make Hall a special a unique place. If you're looking for a place to settle on a membership for wine, this place is a great choice!

We enjoyed our visit to and tour of Hall Wines. Our tour guide Ron was fantastic -- highly knowledgeable and a great personality. Ironically, we were visiting for our 25th silver wedding anniversary, so seeing the gigantic silver bunny was icing on the cake! Will definitely visit again.

such a great experience here! beautiful property and such friendly people (Alex helped us and did an amazing job). got to try a few different wines and walk around the vineyards. ambiance was so lovely as well. and they were able to make the pizza diary feee/vegan for me

I honestly cannot hate the wines here. They are great. They are pricey. But they are Napa cabs. The Signature Tour tasting is well worth it...allowing you to try 4 different cabs on top of a Walt pinot during the tour. I don't have the materials so don't quite recall the vintages offered. It's a very designer-centric sort of winery with some historical fixtures...you'll see a ton of art pieces throughout the property. Our host, Ron? (I think that was his name...rocks a fedora) did a great job introducing the history behind Hall wines. We got to taste the Eighteen Seventy-Three, Jack's Masterpiece, Mt. Vedeer, and Kathryn Hall cabs. I would say the Eighteen Seventy-Three is a drink now cab, easy to drink and approachable; not too big a fan of Jack's Masterpiece...it seems to be stuck in this level that is neither accessible nor truly distinguished, occupying a muddled space between tiers, offering heft without harmony and ambition without execution; once you get into the Mt. Veeder tier, including the Kathryn Hall, it really becomes personal preference. These wines have great structure, complex flavors, and will age well. And if you are regularly buying these types of wines, Yelp reviews shouldn't be guiding you anyway so I don't have much to contribute here. However, I will note that through my brother's connection, we were able to try the 2021 Exzellenz and that was ultimately the bottle my group purchased. Great wines though pricey; come here if you are into that upper-tier level of in-your-face, high alcohol, Napa cab wines. Is the price justified? That is entirely up to you. Most surely not an everyday type of wine for most of us.

Hall is probably my fav spot for an exquisite bottle of wine/tasting. We went for a Member's Lounge tasting this past Memorial Day weekend. The space is so bright, designed well to enjoy the green space, the vineyard, but stay in the shade for a hot day in St Helena. I highly recommend Ubering there/back because they serve so many tastings of wine. If you're in the member's lounge, you can bring your own food, so we brought a whole charcuterie board! You could even DoorDash food to the member's lounge. It was totally worth it! I was really happy with the tasting, learning about the history of Hall family, previous owners, and the special stories behind each bottle. I appreciate their sustainable practices too. This is a great business to support. The tasting is red wine forward and absolutely blew me away. Probably some of the best reds I've had in CA. My favorite was the Ellie! This was such a special experience and I hope to come back with friends!

HALL Winery in Napa, that seemed to be more like an art gallery than winery. The estate itself was beautiful and large with such a cool layout. You can tell that HALL wines really values art. I've only been to one winery before this and the tasting was quite different. This one was more of a walking tour and as soon as me and my gals friends arrived, we were escorted to a lady waiting for us to show us around the property. We were greeted warmly enough but it was a bit awkward with us asking for some wine while we all stood around. After some time, she let us know we were actually waiting for some other folks to join our group and after a bit, we started our tour around the property. The overall experience was nice but just that, nothing more and nothing less. I did love touring the whole area, with its super impressive layout and history but felt the tour was not as interactive as the other winery experience I've had both before & after this. After the tour, we had a tasting in a private room upstairs which was absolutely gorgeous. The wines they had us taste were nice but all had similar profiles and, for a wine novice like myself, it wasn't terribly informative. Overall, if you are a wine connoisseur and love HALL Wines, this is a cool place to check out. But if you are a wine novice, only come here if you are interested in seeing some cool art and beautiful property.

Great time here celebrating my best friend's birthday! We were hosted by Joego and he made sure our glasses were filled and our time was joyous! This is a large property with the wine tasting room on the 2nd floor -- with beautiful views of the vineyard!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Hall Wines!! I wish I lived closer ... whenever I come back to Cali ... Hall wines is where my family goes ... your wine is the best ... my Fave is Kathryn.... combine this with Amazing Service from Ray ... and your day is complete !!!! It was so peaceful and quiet ... Thank you thank you !!! Till I see you again !!!

A lot of wineries gatekeep their $200+ bottles by charging $75+ for a tasting. Not HALL! For $45 you get to try four of their cab sauvs including two that retail for $225. All four were very good, definition of fruit-forward, bold Napa cabs. The outdoor area with the fire pit overlooking the vineyard was beautiful.

We always leave Hall Winery with a great experience especially when "Ray" facilitates our tasting. His knowledge and welcoming demeanor contributes alot to that. Ray is amazing. Nothing can be said about the wine selection - always fantastic.

This was our first trip to Napa. We visited several wineries. Hall was hands down my favorite experience. It was what I "Thought" wine tastings were. We walked the grounds learned about the owners, the history, the process of wine making and seeing the vines. Tasting the grapes was one of my favorite parts. The wine tasting are throughout the tour then you end in a beautiful room with yummy snacks and more tastings. Our guide was friendly and so full of knowledge. You are not required to do a tour they do offer many seating areas for tastings. The grounds are beautiful and full of amazing art installations!

This place was beautiful! Vineyards left and right. Service was great, everyone was welcoming. The view from the bar, where we did the wine tasting, was gorgeous even on a cloudy rainy day! The structures were modern and clean.

Wow, what a beautiful vineyard with intersting art pieces and beautifully crafted wine. We were helped by Joego who is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and fun. He made our experience at Hall even better. We will be back to visit.

We came here for the Cabernet Sauvignon tasting. Pairings with the tasting in the photo, left to right: Manchego cheese, beet tartare, fried grapes with whipped ricotta on polenta cracker, duck rillette, leek tart, and goat cheese panna cotta. It was not too crowded when we came on a weekday, so the service was attentive and highly educational. This winery is a beautiful space and worth a visit.

One of the best wine tasting experiences I've ever had was with Ray during the HALLmark Tour & Tasting! I've been tasting all over California and Ray's knowledge about the science behind wine was so valuable to me. Not only did I learn about what makes HALL so special, I learned about the art on the property and universal knowledge about how I interact with wine on a day to day basis. The wines here are AMAZING! My aunt and uncle are devoted members to this winery because of the impeccable wines, and Ray leading us through the tour really reaffirmed this for me. It was my first time visiting the winery and I now know why they always talk so highly of this place. Thank you Ray for creating a fun introduction to the winery for me and thank you HALL for valuing fine art on the beautiful property.

Had a great time here! Our host Tom was fabulous - friendly and very knowledgeable. We did the St Helena Mountain Cabernet Experience, where we got to try several cabs from different mountain regions to compare how they tasted - all paired with small bites. Ended up purchasing two bottles - they were pricey but worth it, plus if you get one of the platinum bottles, it's only $1 shipping! The estate is beautiful so we also enjoyed just walking around. Will definitely return and try one of their other many experiences!

We spent an excellent afternoon at Hall Winery. We live in the Bay Area and come to the Napa Valley frequently for wine tasting. We had not visited Hall so we went on a weekday afternoon. A reservation was not needed. Ray took care of us and he is what made the experience so good. Not only was the wine good but Ray was friendly and he educated us on why Hall wines were so expensive and he did such a good job that we paid over $200 per bottle for Cab. Ray gave us an extra pour of some wine that was open and invited us back anytime & to request him. He treated us well and we will be back!

What a beautiful winery! Be sure to check out the numerous art installations, inside and outside on the grounds. We so enjoyed our tour and wine tasting. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made our visit educational and fun. And their wines are fabulous!

We love Hall! The setting and wine are spectacular! Alfredo is a wonderful and knowledgeable host!

Hall winery is the best! The wines are yummy and they offer a terrific wine tasting experience!

Our visit to Hall Winery was exceptionally positive. The setting is lovely and the wines were outstanding. We were in the lovely members area and our sommelier Ray was particularly skilled at making us comfortable and explaining the various wines in a knowledgeable , but not intimidating manner. He was enthusiastic, but not aggressive as some soms can be. We so enjoyed it visit and look forward to returning with our numerous guests,

Check in Hostess manager Taylor was very rude! Customer service was not there, and I get it if he is busy or overwhelmed but that is not a way to talk to your members or customers in general. Hostess on top Kim was nicer & was able to seat us all together with no issues. Not sure why Taylor told us it would be very hard to get us all together when there were lots of space open when we arrived. Ray our server was super nice. He was welcoming & very knowledgeable with the wines that he was serving us. Hall is a beautiful place & even though it was a rainy day it was still really nice. Hall is getting a good review because of the rest of the service we did not let the bad service from the manager spoil our time there.

Beautiful place but it's definitely best to be a member. The service was great but the tasting accommodations were full. We order a glass and sat next to the vineyard. The atmosphere was fine and was very nice.

Over many decades, I've enjoyed numerous winery tours/tastings. Without a doubt the Hall winery tour is the best ever! It begins with a casual taste in a garden; glass in hand you can sip your way through the outdoor sculpture gardens learning the history behind the Halls vision and commitment to excellence. After a brief, informative video highlighting Halls unique approach to high quality wine making, your group sits down to sample some of the BEST cabs available. The experience is more akin to sharing fine wine in a friends home than a traditional tasting room sampling. Our guide, Ron was very informative, humorous, inviting and professional. Thank you to all of the Hall family for a truly remarkable experience

Enjoyed a tasting experience at HALL during our Napa trip. Short Version: Very cool estate and love all their detail to art. Wine was nice, but our line up on this specific tasting was very similar to each other, so left a little to be desired. Though the service was friendly, our tour/wine guide also left a little to be desired. The detailed version: I am very glad I got to check out this estate and enjoy their tasting experience. They really do put a lot of thought and funny humor into their art pieces all across the estate. The history involved, is also very cool. Our guide, though friendly, did not really explain the lay of the land. We first to check in and directed towards her, upon arrival, she simply handed us glasses and poured some wine. She didn't let us know we were waiting for other guests, what the tour would entail or really any details or greeting. Once the rest of the guests arrived, we departed for a tour of the vineyard. Out group size ended up being about 15-18 total people, not exclusive, but also not too large. After checking out the space and enjoying our white, apparently one of the only ones they have, we were led to our tasting room. They had a lovely arrangement of cheeses, nuts, crackers and meats to pari, but no notes on the wine we would be tasting or even a menu. The only thing laid out was their ordering brochure. It would have been so nice to have had a menu laid out of the wines we would be tasting, along with some general tasting notes, but instead we just were told and given a few small details. It was a beautiful property and I did enjoy my experience and it was well worth a visit, but I am not sure I would explore a return visit.

Gorgeous scenery and grounds and awesome member tasting area. Service is spectacular and if you get Jogo, you are in for a treat. Super knowledgable, fun and friendly staff for sure. The wines are super good here from whites to reds, but the cabs are the big draw for me. Ample parking and dog friendly.

Mediocre wines and not great services unless you are a member. Members have access to their lounge -- they only real seating/dining area. Food is NOT available here. Which is very disappointed. Expected at least some charcuterie boards to pair with their wine. But the staff person at the Members Lounge just said that the area is open to members only and members bring their own food. The wine we tried was OK, but we liked other nearby wines more. The best part for me was the bocce court, and the art all around the property -- each with a funny sign next to it.

Amazing vineyard with an elegant tasting room in St. Helena. If you like a great Cabernet wine, you should try the flat of four wines. The vineyard, art, sculptures, water feature combined with the wine tasting, made for a nice afternoon in Napa Valley.

We've come here several times throughout the years and each time has been memorable with today being no exception. Today, my family and I stopped by in celebration of our son's 21st birthday. Laramie was our hostess and she was great - just about everything you'd want in the person attending and serving. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and quick on her feet as there were a couple of different parties there today. Man, she didn't miss a beat! The wines are crazy good with both the Jack's Masterpiece Cab and Howell Mountain Cab being my personal favorites. We're planning on a visit next Spring and we might just need to come back and see what's new. Overall, a great place to visit.

Hall is such a great brand that I discovered while in Dallas of all places for work. Then coming home went to the winery. Huge fan of all things red and the finish is beautiful. Tasting room is gorgeous, some ev charging in the parking lot. It was a pretty hot weekend when we went but they did a decent job of cooling the inside off. Would come back again and visit the other sites for whites.

Gorgeous winery and tasting experience met my expectation. Friendly and helpful staff that educates and pours. Hard to beat that combo.

An amazing time! The service from Joego was amazing, he truly made it an intimate experience. The wine here is great, as an avid white wine drinker, the reds here are delicious. My personal favorites were the Exzellenz, and of course the Kathryn Hall bottle. When the weather is nice, make sure to take a stroll around the vineyards and sit to enjoy the ambiance of the beauty surrounding you Definitely make the trip if you are in the area!

Alfredo was our server and was very knowledgeable, poured some awesome wines with a backdrop of beautiful vines! In between pours we all received an earthquake warning and he moved us to a safe area but of course, we took our wine glasses! :) Thank you Alfredo you made my first day of retirement a very special one that I will never forget!

Our guide, Fonzie was Wonderful! He was very knowledgeable as well as entertaining in his presentation. It may be obvious but the Hall wines are Outstanding!

My love/hate relationship with Hall Wines continues. I'm simultaneously put off by and attracted to what I think of as Hall's "extra-ness". It's always felt to me a bit too splashy, like someone had a ton of money and wished to show off that fact. Sometimes I can appreciate aspects (the art, the wine, the setting) of Hall but there's always something about it that leaves me unsettled. In an earlier review I reflected on a very unengaging cooking demo about which others around me felt the same. This time my experience was different but equally unimpressive. I'm sticking with the 4-stars as Hall is quite a show-pony but if I'm fully honest that 4th star is only aspirational; Hall did nothing to earn it on my most recent visit. As a member of a sister wine club with tasting privileges at Hall I reserved a 3-person weekday tasting. The "members only" patio on which that tasting takes place is lovely but the service? Abysmal. This is how you treat your best customers? Shortly after taking a seat someone came by for a hot moment to deliver a splash of something then disappeared. A very long while later I found myself flagging down someone else, trying to get someone to continue our tasting experience. He tried, I saw it, but whoever was supposed to be serving us was either overbooked, incompetent, or both. I'm not someone who requires or enjoys much wine banter but just getting the wines for my tasting proved unnecessarily difficult and hospitality MIA. Hall produces very nice, pricey wines and serves them up in a lovely, art and view-filled Instagram-worthy setting. I didn't have a 4-star experience on my most recent visit but there's no reason why Hall shouldn't be capable of delivering one.

Hall Wines was an experience beyond anything that I could have imagined. When we came to wine taste at Hall, our expectations were not set. I've been too many wineries in St Helena, but I've never been to Hall. The grounds were absolutely immaculate. The winery was stunningly, beautiful. Our server Alfredo Hernandez was knowledgeable, warm, friendly, inviting, and a superb host. I love talking about wanting and asking questions as I taste and both Alfredo and Tom were both a pleasure to engage with. We enjoyed absolutely everything in our experience. We enjoyed everything so much that I decided that after July of this year, I would like to switch my wine club over to Hall from another wine club that I have in Napa. Very much looking forward to our next visit!

Some of the best wines in Napa and the customer service at tastings is perfect. Beautiful outdoor space! One of the nice touches of the Hall Wine Club is the focus on longevity and club anniversaries.

Always a wonderful experience at Hall. Pizza Fridays are a must! The reds are fabulous. Hall's reds are the reason I switched from whites. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Worth every penny

The tour was super fun! I liked being able to taste the different varieties of grapes for each wine. It was great learning about the property, I was taken back by how much they talked about the owners educational background vs the wine. We spent 15 minutes of the tour learning where the owners went to school and the corporate achievements which had nothing to do with the winery. Odd right? The service was amazing and the art was super interesting. It's worth going for the tour and seeing the property. As far as the wine goes, it's average wine for the price of 200+ for a bottle.

Had a wine tasting at Hall winery on 3-19-2025 and RAY was our server. The tasting was great but Ray was even better. While tasting the great Hall wines my wedding ring slipped off and fell into the small spacing between the pavers. (Seriously, what are the chances?) Well I told Ray, our server what had happened and he jumped in with gardening tools and was able to pry the cement block up and retrieve my ring. Now please understand this process took 1/2 hour but he never gave up. Ray retrieved my ring and never missed a beat serving other people also. I can't tell you how relieved I was and what an amazing feeling it was to see Ray never give up and retrieve my ring. To say Ray was amazing Is an understatement. Thank you Ray and kudos to Hall wine for having such a dedicated and amazing employee. Thank you Ray for not giving up It is truly appreciate. M. Caulley

Not sure why I never visited sooner! The property is gorgeous. Can't wait to visit in the summer. Another plus is that they are kid friendly, which allows my husband and I to visit more often. We became members for that reason and the fact that their wines are fantastic. They have very nice cabs and something for everyone. We have done the tour and tasting as well as the member lounge tasting and have had amazing experiences with both. Learned a lot about wine and the property/history on the tour.

Worth a stop, even a detour. But not a special trip. Beautiful and grand estate with multiple tasting rooms. Enjoyed the idea they incorporated arts into the wine making and tasting process. But I was not that impressed by their Cabs.

Had an amazing day here with my husband and brothers. It's such a beautiful property with friendly staff. I've been here a few times, but our wine educator Alex gave me new information and back stories for some of the more frequent pours. He was very knowledgeable, we learned a lot, and the wines are exceptional. We will be back for sure, and I hope Alex is there!

Beautiful winery in Napa! I felt our tasting guide was a bit uncomfortable and it wasn't a super interactive experience (versus a remarkable experience I had at another winery), but it was great to check out an iconic winery in this area. We were greeted with a welcome wine, got a small tour, and tasted 3 different reds in a private room with the rest of the tour group. The grounds are incredible, and this place feels like an art gallery more than a winery. I didn't love any of the wines (not a big red wine girl) but my friends really enjoyed them. I wish we were told more about the wines and property and less about the owners, but it was still a cool experience!
