"The historic, ivy-covered stone building where Stags' Leap hosts its tastings was built in 1890 using stone mined in a local quarry. The building and its lush grounds, which feature a bocce court, fruit orchard, native plant gardens, and an ancient stone cellar, are steeped in the history of the region; the house is even rumored to be haunted by a friendly ghost."

Our favourite winery on our trip to Napa! The gentleman who did our tasting was so kind and knowledgeable. The charcuterie served at the tasting was so complimentary to the experience as well. Also, the host who greeted us had so much knowledge of where visitors were from across the world, it was quite impressive and welcoming!

Beautiful peaceful and quiet winery, Stags’ Leap Winery, established in 1893, is a historic estate located in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, California. Known for its elegant wines and storied past, the winery has played a significant role in the development of the region’s winemaking reputation.  History and Legacy The estate was founded by Horace Chase and his wife Minnie Mizner Chase in the late 19th century. After changing hands several times and ceasing wine production during Prohibition, the property was revitalized in 1970 when Carl Doumani purchased and restored it. Under Doumani’s leadership, the winery focused on producing high-quality wines, particularly Petite Sirah, which became its signature varietal.   Wines and Winemaking Stags’ Leap Winery is renowned for its Petite Sirah, a varietal that has become synonymous with the estate. In addition to Petite Sirah, the winery produces a range of wines including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Viognier. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes traditional techniques and a commitment to expressing the unique terroir of the Stags Leap District. Visiting the Winery The winery offers a variety of tasting experiences by appointment, allowing visitors to explore its historic grounds and sample its acclaimed wines. Guests can enjoy guided tours of the estate, including the 19th-century Manor House and wine caves, providing insight into the winery’s rich history and winemaking practices.  Ownership and Management Currently, Stags’ Leap Winery is owned by Treasury Wine Estates, a global wine company that acquired the estate in the late 1990s. The winery continues to uphold its legacy of producing high-quality wines that reflect the character and elegance of the Stags Leap District.

Our party of 4 visited stags' for the tasting and tour and had a lovely time overall. The estate is gorgeous, has a historic feel. It really feels like a step back in time and you can tell the grounds are well cared for. The wines were excellent, and the tasting itself was delicious! They do give you a lot of wine to try so be careful lol! We got to try a great variety and everything was well explained. It did feel a bit more commercial than i expected. Our wine guide was knowledgeable but it felt very rehearsed which made the tour feel a bit impersonal at times. Still it's a great stop, especially if you appreciate the architecture and well crafted wines!

Our wine tour was great with a very knowledgeable host, Agatha. She taught us SO much about how to pair wine with various foods. The history of the estate was so informational and we really enjoyed our tour. The wine was good, especially the Malbec. Just not our favorite compared to a few others so that’s the only reason I’m not giving it a 5 star. Definitely worth the trip and loved the experience!

A short drive off the main road. Far enough back that it's quiet and feels private. The grounds are amazing. A nice plus is the parking is spacious. We had no issue at all parking a RAM 150. We walked in without a resy on a Thursday afternoon, and they quickly brought someone to escort us outside to talk wine and drink wine. The staff is very proud of their grounds and wine selection and are very generous with options. We have had their wine several times before and were looking forward to visiting, and were not disappoointed. We were exceptionally taken care of, again, just walking in, no reservation. And after, we were given the business card of our rep, and encouraged to come back the next day, at any time, and ask for her to try more wines. TOP NOTCH service. And their wines are pretty damn good too.

Beautiful winery. We loved their twelve falls wine and had to take a bottle home. We also took the guided tour and it was very fun and informative. I would recommend doing the tour and of course a tasting on their patio is always a must. A little pricier than perhaps other winery experiences and I recommend booking in advance as soon as the dates are available because they go quickly.

World class red wines, especially Cabernet Sauvignons. On this trip to Napa we stopped in unannounced and the assistant manager was so accommodating and attentive. He was super knowledgeable about the wines and history of the property. We were able to do an abbreviated tasting and fell in love with (and bought) several bottles. The historic old home, restored into a tasting room/event center, was like walking into a museum. Looking out the windows, you are surrounded by beautiful views of endless vineyards. You can almost feel what life was like here a hundred years ago. A must stop for fine wine lovers.

Without a doubt the best winery experience in Napa. Be sure to book ahead early, they have limited space and do not take walk ins. The building itself is stunning. The patio for wine tasting has the best view over a small portion of the valley. Our host was amazing, fun, and informative.

Should be on every wine lover's itinerary when visiting Napa! The history, the serene location, stupendous wine and unparalleled staff ensure life long memories. If you're fortunate to have Madi as your hostess, she can answer all your wine nerd questions having had worked on the production side + being a somm. Call ahead and don't miss this!!!

There are so many wineries in Napa to check out. I'm glad we stopped by Stags' Leap. Don't be like me and confuse it with the other with a similar name. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave us the backstory in incredible detail. The building is beautiful, and the wine and cheese are superb. Be sure to check out the Speakeasy!

Hand up, ‍, I mistakenly booked my reservation at Stags' Leap instead of Stag's Leap. However, the tour and story at this place was very good. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and showed us a very good time on the tour and tasting. It's a cool story on how the estate has changed hands and modified to allow for service. The grounds are gorgeous, the house is immaculate, and we did have a good time. The wine....eh, not my cup of tea. Most of the wines were reminiscent of those full bodied over-powering, tannin-rich reds that Napa is known for - but I'm personally looking for more nuanced wines when I can find them. Overall it was enjoyable though.

Wow!!!!! I loved visiting here and the wine was so good! Grounds are amazing and beautiful! The home looks like a castle . Huge and old! We sat outside and had heat lamps so we were nice and cozy! Wine was served with a charcuterie board! Details and stories for this winery are excellent! We did buy one bottle of our favorite wine . The gentlemen that work there are knowledgeable and very nice!

Madi was our wine expert and she was the best! She was super knowledgeable about the history and wines at Stags' Leap. All of their wines were so good and our friend we went with actually signed up for the wine club membership because they were so good. We already booked our next tasting/tour because it was that great. Reservations are required unless you're a member (still recommended). The ambiance for the porch tasting was gorgeous, they had big open windows that looked out over the entire property. The only "con" is parking is a little tricky. Otherwise this is a definite must go to in Napa Valley.

Excellent your and tasting experience! I came here on a Sunday afternoon (New years eve). They don't do too many tastings/tours per day so definitely book early. That being said, I called last minute to join two friends and they were able to squeeze me in! I did the estate tour & tasting. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable- both about Stags' Leap and Napa in general- and friendly. Stags' leap is a beautiful estate with some cool history so I'd highly recommend the tour. The wines were all excellent! And while you might only see 5 wines listed, we actually ended up trying 8 in total! Our guide brought a few others out for us to compare. I ended up spending a bit more than I planned and got a pricy wine that I absolutely loved- early present for a celebration this year! Would recommend to others!

Very nice smaller winery to enjoy a short stroll around the grounds. We didn't do a tasting here but enjoyed the quick visit.

If you want a combination of a history lesson paired with great wine, this is your place. The story of the beautiful property is fascinating, including the speakeasy and trap door in the floor. The charm of the house has been preserved and it is a fun winery to visit! My server was gracious and passionate telling the story!

We meant to go the other Stag's Leap and learned about the difference in the apostrophe. Even so, the tasting was outside Ina beautiful porch overlooking a vineyard. They gave us a small charcuterie, which we appreciated. I thought the tasting was good, however they lost me when they asked for a gratuity. We've been coming to the Valley for almost 15 years and this is not a welcome change. It prompted me to look up the etiquette surrounding tastings and I still don't know what is correct. It caught us off guard and tainted the experience.

Yelp
Very disappointed with the service here. My husband (who is a nondrinker) and I attended several wineries over the weekend. This was the only one who charged (once we arrived) an additional full price payment for my husband. They said if he was to sit in the car they would not charge, but if he was on the property we were to pay the full $95 for him. Since we had already driven there and could not reschedule with another winery we stayed. Separately, out of all of the tastings only 1 (IMO) was worth purchasing. Although given the situation, there was no way we would have spent another $ there.

Stags' leap is a bit off of Silverado trail, but we'll work the drive. The venue is a historic house with some amazing history. Beautiful tasting rooms and views of the grounds. The service here is top tier! The wines are very good. I really enjoyed "the bookkeeper " and had to bring some home.

Our wine tasting and tour with Madi was amazing! I couldn't have had a more enjoyable experience. I learned so much about this historic winery and mansion, toured the home and 1920's speakeasy in the secret basement. The outdoors was simply beautiful and the wine tasting was perfect! The 2019 LTD Edition Cab Sav was to die for... so I joined the Club and will now enjoy at home! This Winery Tour/Tasting is a must for anyone visiting Napa Valley!

10/10 experience! Def recommend making a reservation and doing a tasting in the porch with Christian. We started off with a Chardonnay ("porch pounder") and then proceeded to try a Merlot and a Red Blend. Finally, we made our way to the Cabernets (their specialty) and closed it out a Petite Sirah. Each wine was paired perfectly with different bites from the board! We closed out the tasting with a brief tour of the grounds, inclusive of the speakeasy downstairs and "jail." The history of this property was also super interesting, dating back to Corus, Chase and Minnie Meissner days & prohibition. I'm excited to return and do another tasting with our favorite person, Christian!

A recommended winery for my friends and I to visit on our annual Napa Valley trip every November. Red Fridays was a day for us to add Stags' Leap to our list and heard this place was known for their Cabernet Sauvignon. Love a good Cabernet after a nice hearty savory meal. Our tasting started at 11am and our host took great care of us and was very knowledgeable on all of our bottle tastings. We had the 2017 and 2018 Cabernets from Stags' and it was tart, a good dry, and some buttery tanins included. As we kept going from one bottle to the next, the quality of the wine elevated. I was most excited for their signature Audencia wines as this is what this place is known for. My most favorite of all had to be the 2019 Stags' with the Malbec. This was more my style with a bit of spice and velvety touch to it. The Audencia came to be my second favorite and for those who enjoy a hearty tart type of wine. The winery scenery too was lovely and do make sure to take a trip to the second floor to enjoy some of the traditional settings. A winery with so much history and will be enjoyable as you listen in on the tales while sipping on your glasses.

Our girls weekend in Napa included the Manor House Experience at Stags' Leap Winery. This is a must for anyone visiting the area. The history of the house AND the Stags' Leap name is probably one of the more interesting histories I have heard. The wine is oh so good, this with the education and pairing was one of my favorite experiences. I purchased a Black label Merlot that was very tasty.

We had a wonderful experience on the Manor House Estate Tour and Tasting a couple weekends ago. Our tour/tasting guide, Madi Nisesen, was extremely knowledgeable on all things wine. And Madi's presentation on the history of the property and the winery were both very informative and entertaining! Stags' Leap Winery is definitely a place you must visit if you are planning a trip to Wine Country!

We came to Stags Leap this past weekend for the manor tour and tasting. We really enjoyed hearing the history between the manor home and the battle of the apostrophes! Our host, Marcelo, was very informative and friendly! We really enjoyed all of the wines that were poured during the tasting. We liked the Cabernet that was $140 the most. We had a great group on our tour who were all so friendly and we talked for about 30 minutes or so while tasting the last 3 wines. Everyone ended up purchasing at least one bottle of wine or even joining the wine club. Their reds were very good and I would highly recommend a tasting!

We were so excited to come visit this winery. We had joined a membership months before and our driver had called in reservations. When we arrived we waited for over 15 minutes to be greeted and then were greeted by a rude hostess that had no interest in helping us. Even after confirming the appointment with our driver and the manager we were still not offered a tasting even though there were several tables open. It was such a disappointing visit for a winery we were so exited to visit. Very disappointed with the customer service and would not recommend spending the time to visit this winery with so many excellent places around. Luckily for us, Chimney Rock got us in last minute and gave us an amazing experience. Highly recommend trying there instead.

The tour was very good and the guide very knowledgable. The winery is set on grounds that are picturesque and have a rich history. The wines however were somewhat pedestrian for the region and for the $150pp not worth it.

Stags' is my favorite winery because of the great wine, amazing views, and hospitality. I've been a member for a couple years now and at my most recent visit we had the pleasure of being hosted by Madi. Probably the most knowledgeable and personable hostess I've had in Napa, keep up the great work!

Sol was our host and she was just awesome. So personable and friendly. She took us on a tour through the manse with a glass of rose, and then we tried the Malbec, twelve falls, coombsville and Rutherford cabs, then the leap and na cede malis petite sirah, then the two dessert wines! We ended up joining the club because of the 25% discount (so it made it worthwhile). Or maybe not! . Anyway, the wines delicious the service even better and such a beautiful ambience. Highly recommend.

Not sure why I'm giving them two stars but I'm a nice guy. I will say the host the day we were there for a tasting for 2 was not. We had an appointment for 2 tasters and two spouses who weren't tasting. When the host found out two of us weren't tasting we were invited to wait outside (and not in a polite tone). We were sitting in a nice cozy lobby with a fireplace that was basically empty but it was clear that she didn't want us in there. We were dressed fine and I thought we classed up the place. This was pretty insulting imo. The winery was not that busy but they did have a full tasting and tour set up for 12. No water offered nuthin! This was on a Wednesday afternoon and the rude woman was a 40 something dark haired women. She needs to get some training or the alternative (canned). Not a classy woman that's for sure. To add insult to injury the tasting took over 2 hours!Literally sat outside in a non tasting area of the patio on a breezy and coolish day. In retrospect I probably should have addressed the issue that day but I figure I would put the full weight of my elite yelper status to work!!! My counterpart and I were expecting a little more moral support than our spouses buying a couple bottles of $150 wine and tipping them!!! Next we discovered we didn't even visit the better of the two Staggs Leaps. This one is the lesser version of the two and is basically the red headed stepchild of the Staggs valley. You want to go to the higher rated "Stagg's Leap" off the main road not this dirty old house that needs a good dusting. The wine tasters out there mention that Napa can be a bit snootie compared to the other wine regions in CA and in this case they were right! Go to the proper Stagg's Leap or even better go to Heitz and skip this place and their rude host. We were there on a Wednesday in May in for a 3:00 tasting. Won't be back but will hit the real Stagg's Leap on our next visit. This place has been living off the reputation of the award winning "Stagg's Leap". You know if you have the apostrophe after the word you are the wannabe winery. Ouch! Sorry...not sorry!

We wanted to visit this winery since we really enjoyed their cabernet. It was so smooth, fruity, and bold. We made reservations 1-2 months ago for the $85 Manor tour and tasting. We had a 1pm Friday reservation. The tour was 90 mins and we got to tour around the Manor, outside, speakeasy room. It was informative and interesting. When we arrived, they poured a tasting of the viognier. That was good. During the tour, we had 2 more wines. The sauvignon blanc was just ok and the Malbec was really tannic. The tasting included a cheese plate at the end of the tour where we sat down to taste 3 red wines. They were all bold, but were so tannic and not smooth. The Petite syrah was a bit better, but not by much. We were so disappointed. The wines were too young. The cheese didn't help the tannins either. The cheeses were good though (Bellavitano with Merlot, Aged Gouda Beemster, Fiscallini white cheddar white, cracker, and dried cherries). Our tour group was a tough crowd. Noone really spoke much. The tour guide probably knew we all didn't like the wines because she didn't come back after to ask if we wanted to take any wines home. We did tell her that we think the red wines were too tanic for us. There's outdoor seatings too, but I think the tour is only indoors.

I came here with my husband to enjoy a tour on a Saturday afternoon. Jim was our tour guide and did a great job of explaining everything and keeping us engaged. The location was beautiful and getting to walk around the grounds was amazing. The assortment of wines was also nice since it was much different from other winery options. The pairing of cheese at the end was fantastic and overall a great time. I highly recommend a visit.

Today is June 11 Sunday ... as the Napa Valley Chauffeur I am always on the lookout for exceptional service like I provide ... having my clients here early for their reservation, their educator came out and made a snide remark to me right off the bat in front of my clients when I was trying to take a picture for them ... Since you are not professional enough to even speak properly, when meeting someone I had to post this review grow up . After having these blended families from Montana and Illinois, they just came out and told me that you were the only educator over or four days that they didn't tip ... we are all in the customer service industry and you dropped the ball and tried to make me look bad. I don't appreciate you at all ...

Not to be mistaken with the "other" establishment with a similar name but with the apostrophe before the s ... This is the winery established by the Chase family, with the stone manor house, speakeasy, and cabins. By far, IMO more rich in Napa history and ambiance than the other which is known for its wine cellar. Highly recommend the tasting tour, made even more enjoyable as a small group.

We had a porch tasting at Stags' Leap, with Madi as our wine educator. This was by far the best wine tasting event that we have experienced. Stags' Leap was our first, but we have had several since, and our Stags' Leap experience with Madi was beyond compare with the others. The wines were fabulous, and Madi is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of both the wine making process and the history of Stags' Leap winery, which is quite fascinating. The ambience at Stags' Leap (we did a porch tasting) was beautiful ~ peaceful and idyllic, with a touch of elegance. We highly recommend!

A couple of friends recently joined Stags' Leap as members and invited my boyfriend and me to a day of fun in Napa, so we had to say yes! We started the day in the speakeasy, where we enjoyed lunch (that we brought ourselves), some great wine, and a few games of pool. Once lunch was over, we were ready for our tour. We got to explore a little bit of the estate and learn about the history of the winery while sampling some of the wines. After the tour we were seated in the tasting area, where we were offered wine and cheese pairings. After buying a few bottles of cab and chardonnay, we set out for the bocce court. It was a beautiful day in Napa, and we had a wonderful time hanging out at Stags' Leap with friends. Everyone there was so friendly, and it was a relaxing time for everyone!

We have enjoyed Stag's Leap wines for many years and decided to go to the winery with friends. I called in November to make a reservation and they told me I needed to call back in January as they didn't book appointments that far out. I called back in January and booked an appointment with their team for February 17. We arrived at the winery at our scheduled time and the winery was fairly empty due to the weather. We checked in and the manager told us he didn't see us on the reservation list. I showed him the reservation and the phone number (which we confirmed was theirs) and he preceded to tell us he couldn't help us. Finally I let him know that it was up to him to determine if we would have a good experience at the winery or a bad one. He gave us a small splash of one wine and dismissed our group. He also said he had been in hospitality for 30 years, but we found that hard to believe. Someone who had been in hospitality for 30 years would acknowledge the mistake and do what is needed to make it a good experience for all. Very disappointing at Stag's Leap . . . and they weren't even busy.

This is a beautiful winery in Napa valley. I had a blast on the tour and the guide was very funny, entertaining and informative. This place has a lot of history and it's worth seeing. You can see a nice and historical house. The wine pours are generous and you can taste plenty of wine throughout the tour. The wine for me was good to decent. Nothing blew me away and I didn't buy anything even though I had in mind purchasing 2 bottles. They give you tastings of $200 bottle wine. I just didn't find anything I liked enough to buy. That's personal taste. I had so much fun I had to give 5 stars. If you go, make reservations.

Love this winery. The wines are all amazing that we bought them all in our last wine tasting. The service and learning new things about the region, wine and maker is always educational. Our server was very nice and spent time to "talk" to us, not just pitch us on their wine, the gentleman was genuine and took pride in his job.

OMGOSH NEW ALL TIME FAVE HANDS DOWN!!! WOW OK so I honestly don't even know where to begin! For starters, I had received recommendations about Stags Leap on my first trip to Napa and never made it there. Well about a month before my second trip I was looking online at Stags Leap and saw that there was only one reservation slot left for the entire three days we were going to be there (Sat-Mon). I went back and forth on if I should take that 10am Monday slot. For $75/tasting, I had to wonder "is it worth it?" I was also paying for my sister's too (because I figured she'd think I was crazy for booking us a $75 tasting!) So I was out +$160 a month before the trip even started. Gosh looking back now I'm so glad I did that! The night before our Stags Leap trip, I took a gander on Yelp. I started to panic as I quickly found out that there are TWO Stags Leaps: one is Stag's Leap Wine Cellars and the other is Stags' Leap Winery. (Notice apostrophe placement). "Oh gosh!! What did I do?" I thought to myself. Did I even book the right one?! Were all my friends telling me about the other Stag's Leap? Did I just waste $160 on a subpar second class wannabe winery? Alas, it was too late for me to change plans or look into it further. So the next morning at 10a, my sister and I trekked up to Stags' Leap. They do a really good job in all the confirmation emails to warn you about how this location is tough to find on navigation systems. I appreciated the warnings, but we had no problems. After many twists and turns up the road, we parked at this GORGEOUS estate!! My jaw hit the floor before we even walked in. We were greeted right away by our hostess, Sue. She let us know we'd get started soon, but offered us a Chardonnay as we waited. She also told us we could tour the house which we did. Such a beautiful manor. I could tell it was built in the late 1800's and the dark wooden interior reminded me a lot of the Hotel Del Coronado. I also used the restroom and it was definitely old school in there (had a pull chain as the flusher!). Our tour soon got started with an intimate group of 12. Sue actually told us that they only allow 40 people on property per day. Wow! I felt privileged (and lucky that I scored that 10am slot a month prior!). Sue told us about herself and her journey. She's relatively new to the property, but you would never know it. She has a background at Disney which is probably what made her such a great host. She was so authentic, fun and knowledgeable! She walked us through the house and the history. I loved the story of Frances Grange, the second owner of the manor and a true original businesswoman! Sue even took us down into the speakeasy. I felt like I was at a 1920s Gatsby party. I just love historic estates like this! You just get an almost eery vibe that a lot happened here. We walked outside and saw the pool ("Where Gatsby was shot" as my sister whispered to me LOL!). It isn't functioning but was still cool to see. Sue said they are trying to fix it. We also stopped and took pictures by the vines. Wow-- these are possibly the most stunning views you will see in all of Napa. The pictures I have don't even do it justice. As we walked around, Sue continued to pour us various wines, which were all fantastic. After our guided tour, Sue took us into the tasting room with a long table seating 6 of us on each side. We had the most generous tasting I've ever had the pleasure of partaking in! Overall, we ended up with 7 tastings total! And as we were starting to wrap up, I asked Sue how the Malbec was (as I wanted to buy a bottle for my boyfriend). As she started describing it to me, I asked if she had any to taste. She said she'd check, but didn't think there was any open. She soon emerged from the back with a full bottle and said "Oh well, I'll just open one for you!" lol! She then let everyone have a taste of the Malbec as well. Grade A customer service. So all in all, we actually ended up with 8 tastings! I ended up buying the Malbec but am still so mad at myself for not buying any others! All in all, this is an five star experience all around. From the absolutely stunning views, gorgeous grounds, excellent hostess, and superb wines.... Stags' Leap cannot be beat and it is my new Napa favorite! My sister wholeheartedly agreed as well. Even two months after our trip, we still talk about Stags' Leap all the time! I have also since recommended it to coworkers who went to Napa and they also came back saying it was their favorite! I can't tell you anything about Stag's Leap Wine Cellars (aka the "other" Stags Leap), but what I can share with you is that I highly doubt that they could have a better overall experience than this Stags' Leap. I'm SO glad I picked the "right" one when making my reservations. Biggest word of advice- BOOK EARLY! Like Sue said, only 40 people are allowed on property a day and you do not want to miss out on this.

Superb winery with excellent staff! We didn't have a reservation and only stopped in to the gift shop but ended up being assisted by Madi who was simply terrific. She recommended a few wines to sample and I ended up having those shipped home. Madi spent a good amount of time with us but she is so genuinely kind and knowledgable it felt like we were members. This is a must stop winery next time we're in Napa!

This place is gorgeous with a great story! The amiance is classy and pleasant, and it feels very private. We were a group of 6 and had a fabulous time with Rob! Definitely ask for Rob and also for his story. Our experience was elevated with Robs professionalism, warmth and knowledge. Absolutely enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for wineries in Napa. Note: read the instructions on the website carefully on how to get to this place, network is spotty in the area.

What a treat! Please put this on your list for must try wineries. We had such amazing wines here.... (Malbec and Cabernet were our favs). The history and details of how they have come to where they are today are the highlights! Beautiful grounds..... very very personable staff. This will be one of your favorite wineries in Napa!

Revisited this stunning winery with friends. Tammy took great care of us and this time, I had to purchase a bottle of Voignier. It was a nice way to unwind from Sunday's wine tasting from Rutherford to St. Helena to our final destination Stags Leap District. The views just keep getting better and better and certainly the wines. Just keep traveling along Silverado Trail my friends ~ wine not! We are excited to come back on Saturday, August 4th for the 125th Anniversary party! You don't want to miss one helluva party. Speakeasy here we come, how cool is this place! The haunted stories amuse me. I'm not scared of anything haunted. Love the history, love the wines, love this stunning winery, what's not to love! Celebrate good times come on! Cheers and see you on Yelp (SYOY)!

Wow! What an amazing winery and experience (even during COVID)!!! We came for my moms bday and this was by far our favorite experience. 1. The grounds are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. 2. The ALL the staff was extremely nice, welcoming and friendly 3. The wines were right up our palate! They had some restrictions and we couldn't experience everything, but what we experienced was just perfect. Sol was our host and this girl is AH-MA-ZING! She made my mom feel special (and all of us, for that matter). She remembered all of our names. She took a million perfect pics of us while we were there. She had the perfect stories as she was telling us the history of the winery. She gave my mom tastes of other things she wanted to try. We even signed up for the wine club with her! Let me say this...it's almost unheard of that you have a terrible experience at a winery. Most people enjoy their experiences and of the wineries I have been too, I would say most of them are extremely nice and I liked them...probably a 7-8/10. Sol made this place a 10/10 for me and my sisters. I will forever recommend this place to all my friends. I highly recommend this place (with Sol!) if you want to take it to the next level. We are looking forward to coming back!!
