Ink Grade

Ink Grade is a wholly unique tasting experience. You won’t find anything else like this in Napa. If you’re seeking a more boutique, innovative, and creative tasting experience, then book with them! The ‘Senses’ tasting room utilizes the same projector technology as the recent and very popular immersive Van Gogh exhibit. What is most pleasing, is they are not using the stunning and intricately curated aesthetics to distract you from mediocre wine. This is a rare example of style AND substance. The meticulous process behind each bottle and the lengths they go to, creates delicious options of white and red. My wife and I were truly taken care of, and left with the notion of seeing something special unfolding in the early stages of a winery that will no doubt continue to collect accolades from experts in the industry and wine fanatics alike.

Ink Grade offered a phenomenal tasting experience that totally exceeded our expectations. Balkis was an excellent hostess, and provided not only really helpful information on the wines and winery but also was just fun to chat with. The wines were exquisite. I especially enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc and their Merlot. All wines were very terroir-driven and complex. The tasting experience was very intimate and conversational. I would highly recommend.

Pretty thin red blend considering it’s from St Helena. High price point for this wine. Not worth the price.

Wonderful private tasting experience. A little on the pricier side for a tasting, but the private personal guide through the wines with Balkis was amazing.

A truly wonderful and unique experience. Balkis has incredible passion and is extremely knowledgeable. A definite hidden gem in Napa

Exceptional wine quality, unmatched experience, great testing events.

We had an amazing experience at Ink Grade, a beautiful tasting room with top notch architecture, super modern and inviting interior and beautiful crafted wine where the winery is about 30 miles from St Helena. As it is far to visit the actual vineyard, and before the owners can build a full winery for visitors, the tasting room is a great option to taste their beautiful red blends as well as the Cabernets. Everything here is top notch and the attention of the details show! The Zinfandel merlot blend (2019) is actually very approachable. The Napa Cabernet blend is brilliant and of course the Howell Mountain Cabernet is to die for! The hospitality team here is so awesome and we had a lot of fun talking about food, wine and the vintages. The stars all aligned on our visit, what a pleasant tasting!

Took part in the SENSES by INK GRADE tasting last Saturday with Max. "Soarin' Over California" meets Wine Country was the coolest experience! Highly recommend this experience with some great wines!
