If you are in Napa Valley, this is the place you NEED to visit. I went to a few wineries and this is by far the most interesting one. Not only that, my tour-guide gave me the best experience ever.
Their tours are reasonably priced, although they are on the higher-end when compared to other wineries. But what you pay for becomes apparent when you enter their lot.
A beautiful, nature-filled road leads you to their gates that resemble something grand. They offer outside parking right before you reach the doors and you walk a short distance to enter their cave; which is where the tour begins.
Jonathan greeted me as soon as I walked in and let me know that the tour I booked, which normally consists of a few people, would be private since I booked at an unpopular time. Obviously, I was excited!
He led me in and made sure I was well taken care of. I never knew someone could know this much about one particular topic, but Jonathan was well-versed. He taught me everything from how they made their wine, to how the history of this cave was incorporated into the business model. It was very nice to have someone with that much passion show me around. Compared to other places, this was the most informative wine tour as well.
At the end of our tour, I was given a notepad and pen to take notes on, while I was presented with different types of wine, nuts, and cheese and was given a quick pairing lesson on it all. Listen, I know I sound way too excited writing this review, but please try it out.. you'll understand why.
