"An estate that emphasizes organic farming across vineyard blocks and produces wines from a blend of Bordeaux-style varieties; tastings pair pours with sweeping property and foothill views, and visitors can opt for guided experiences that include tours of the vineyards and winemaking facilities to learn about the estate’s approach." - Jessie Beck
"Without question, Quintessa is one of our favorite wine tasting experiences in the valley—it's also one of the locations where we recommend springing for a tour. The grounds are truly breathtaking (they include a calm, clear lake surrounded by vines), and you'll finish up at a perfect hilltop perch, taking in a grand view of the valley while you sip on one of Quintessa's red blends.

"This estate winery resumed private on-site tastings while continuing virtual tasting options for remote guests; visits are by appointment only and follow enhanced cleaning and staff-safety protocols so visitors can enjoy outdoor, socially distanced experiences on the property." - Sara Button
"The sauvignon blanc they make at Quintessa is fantastic, but it’s their red blend that will make you understand why some high price tags on wine are justified. Coming here for a tour feels as special as the wine they make. There are incredible views of the lake at the center of the vineyards. The cellars are so pretty you’ll want to have your engagement party in them, and the tasting rooms feel more like high-powered board rooms they might use for the G8 summit. Tours and tastings range from $70 to $150 - it’s not cheap, but it’s absolutely worth it." - Will Kamensky
