Vineyard 29 Tasting Room

My friend and I walked wanting to get a tasting to start our night. We were told to be seated and weren't acknowledged at all by the gentleman behind the bar. They just sat on their phones with no care. It wasn't until Lay came from around the corner and was very kind and let us know she was able to accommodate us for a formal tasting before closing. She was the BEST host we've experienced all weekend! She educated us and met our needs during the whole tasting, and I am extremely appreciative of her hospitality :) Definitely recommend Lay to host your time at the tasting room. Truly one of a kind!

Lay was an amazing host! She beautifully guided us through an exceptional tasting experience at Vineyard 29. Fabulous wines! Highly recommend visiting.

My boyfriend brought me to the tasting room for my birthday. It was both our first time experience. We did not know what to expect but can I say it was an amazing first experience at vineyard 29. Jonathan Q. was our wine expert. From the get go, Jonathan had an amazing personality, very kind, knowledge and overall a down to earth guy. He really made our first experience amazing and a great birthday. My boyfriend and I were so happy and immediately felt welcomed. Jonathon walked us through the different tasting options they offered. He did amazing explaining it and as well describing the wines. A beautiful atmosphere, lovely decore, I LOVED the MUSIC, and great wine. My boyfriend and I had an amazing time to even just getting to know Jonathan and appreciated him for his knowledge, great experience and time. By the way we came around April and still think about this awesome experience, we look forward going back to Napa and plan to ask for Jonathon.

We had the portfolio tasting on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasn’t busy inside. Leigh (Lay?) was our host and we loved her personality and manner of describing the wines. She’s obviously very knowledgeable but not the least bit pretentious. Cool spot. Great wine. Excellent host. 10/10

We booked ahead but they also welcome walkins. We were hosted by Jonathan who was both knowledgeable and gave us our space. Fabulous, cozy space. Gladly return. :-)

Wonderful service and atmosphere. Manger and staff very polite and friendly. Super educational and fun. Took their time to present and share details of the wine we were tasting. First time experience and next trip we will visit the estate and vineyard!

Walking by noticed the decor, I love it! The giraffe is holding a chandelier. Didn't have time to taste so adding to my list to come back though

Stumbled across this gem while I was killing time before dinner. Loved the aesthetics and design of the tasting room but most importantly the customer service from Lay Martin! She was very warm and personable. I would come back, especially for Lay!

Christian and Lay were such great hosts! I learned so much about the wine while having a great time with friends. Highly recommend to people wanting a chill day in downtown Napa! Will be recommending to everyone I know.

I had the best tasting with my girls! Christian was our guy and was so knowledgeable! I would definitely come back!!!

Loved Lay!!! Changed our entire experience during our trip! She accommodated to my interests, which is something I didn't get from other wineries. Definitely would come back!

I'm shocked more folks weren't in here yesterday! This place has the best wine & wonderful staff. Also, the interior is welcoming, pretty & fun! You all are missing out if you haven't tried 29!

I was walking downtown when the beautiful decor of this tasting room caught my eye! I decided to stop in and check out their wine selections. I was greeted right away and told I could sit wherever I wanted! I decided to sit on one of their beautiful couches! A nice gentleman came over and i selected one of their tasting options. I'm not really a red wine kind of person, but theirs was really good!! I even bought a bottle! Will be back!!

First off the aesthetic here is unmatched. I loved it so cute for a girls day or even a solo date. You can do tasting or buy wine by the glass. I came in for a glass as I waited for happy hour at the Archer. The guy helping me was so helpful and customer service was amazing! I had a glass Sauvignon Blanc which was $20. Price point a bit high but you pay for the aesthetic I'm sure. Nonetheless the wine was awesome. The vibes were impeccable and the aesthetic was unmatched. 5 stars.

This is a beautiful, relaxed, wine tasting room in the heart of downtown Napa. It is locally owned and part of the Vineyard 29 winery in St Helena, which of course also offers tasting experiences, but with food and a chef. Here, there is no food, just water and breadsticks for your wine tasting. But the large spacious room is gorgeous in white and black elegance and very comfortable. Reservations are required, although a young couple walked in and there was room to accommodate them that Sunday afternoon. Vineyard 29 was created by Teresa Norton and Tom Paine in 1989 with their first release in 1992. It was acquired by Chuck and Anna McMinn in 2000 along with the Aida winery. It is known for it's red wine, particularly their Cabernet Sauvignon, but they also have a Pinot Noir, Rose and Sauvignon Blanc, with wines generally rated in the 90's, developed with old world methods combined with new world processes. Here in this luxury downtown location, we had Jonathan as our guide, who is very down to earth despite the upscale positioning of this space, with wing-backed black chairs, chandeliers and large sculpted black Giraffe art decorations against white walls in a space inspired like an Apple store, with a large open front access and a large bar area in the rear, not unlike a Genius Bar of tech retail fame. There are several tasting experiences, starting at $40 for 3 wine samplings which typically includes a Sauvignon Blanc, Rose, and Cabernet, but we replaced the Rose with a Pinot Noir. The wines are separated in to 2 general groups, with their CRU label and Vineyard 29 group, further delineated by the V29 and Aida grapes. The per glass tastings start at $20. The wines represented here are high end wines, with the less complex wines under $100/bottle, and the higher end Cabernets reaching $300-$400 each, depending on composition, terroir and age. My wine tasting companion and I had a relaxed time chatting in leisure and enjoying these fine wines in a luxurious environment on a beautiful summers day in downtown Napa.

Absolutely incredible experience. Emmanuel was so knowledgeable, friendly, and kind! It was my birthday and we decided to spend it with these folks and it was the best decision. Amazing wine accompanied by such wonderful insight. The inside area is gorgeous with awesome ambiance. Will go back again and again!

The Vineyard 29 Tasting Room is a tasting room for the Vineyard 29 winery that is located in St. Helena. It is a very beautiful and laid back space with an interesting decor. V29 produces wines under two labels, CRU, which is a lower prices brand of different varietals, and Vineyard 29 which is focused on high-end cabs. We chose a Collectors Tasting which focuses entirely on current release cabs from both labels. Max was our server and he was friendly and professional, bringing our wines at a nice pace. He's also very knowledgeable about the vineyards and wines. The wines were served at the proper temperature in very nice, large stemware, one piece for all tastings. It's a matter of taste, but we were very impressed with all of the wines. At the end, Max brought us a tasting of one of the library wines, a 2014. Would recommend a visit to the Vineyard 29 tasting room.

Vineyard 29 was our second visit to a wine tasting room ever. What an absolute gem. Max welcomed us and got us started with warm hospitality. While Max got pulled off onto a large party, Gregory took over for the remainder of the time and he was absolutely amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable and warm with us in conversation. We were here doing the mid tier taste test and were impressed by every single offering. We ultimately ended up obtaining membership and getting three bottles. Kudos to such great wine and great staff. Gregory and Max really made our visit special and we will be back again very soon.

This spot was recommended by another tasting room in the area and I loved the interior of the tasting room! It felt very posh. I got a glass of the rose since the server said it was pretty dry, which it was. I would definitely come back

I may be a little biased A friend of mine was a wine maker here for years Quality is off the charts, gotta buy a case or two

This downtown Napa tasting room is a gem along the main strip! The aesthetic caters very well to the millennial vibe but don't let that single anyone out, this wine will knock anyone's socks off. My date and I each got different tasting flights so that we could share and compare and wow... I was impressed! The Cru flight - The more cost-accessible wine but it will surprise and excite you. I am not a huge white drinker but their Sauvignon Blanc caught me off guard and I had to claim a few bottles of my own. The Vineyard 29 Estate flight - The high-end, "I never thought I would spend this much on a bottle of wine" flight. I have had the pleasure of enjoying many wines throughout the Napa Valley and these estate wines are very excellently made. I am not a Zinfandel drinker (forced with too many holiday magnums over the years) but their zin was so smooth, so delicious, and so groundbreaking for me, I had to buy myself a bottle to show my family. TLDR: TRY THESE WINES. You will not regret stopping into this lovely little tasting room and you will not regret whatever bottles you may walk out with. Next stop - Their winery!

Vineyard 29 Tasting room was absolutely exceptional. Emmanuel was wonderful. Wine was amazing and great ambiance.

Love love love this place!! We stopped by for a flight and a few glasses. The sommelier/ wine specialist was an absolute delight!! She gave us a lot of information on each of the wines we tasted. She was, also, so sweet to my little dog! Great wine, amazing service! Definitely recommend.

The most beautiful tasting room in Napa. I went when they first opened and the staff here are so nice! They were attentive and educational on the wines and options we had (tasting vs bottle). Got a bottle of Rose to share and it was only around $30+ chilled. I love the decorations here and it's definitely Instagram worthy. Grabbed lunch someone in downtown Napa and head right over to the tasting room.

What's not to love!!! Everything at Vineyard 29 gets 5 stars!!! Beautiful decor, great wines!!

Jonathon was an amazing host to guide us through great wine and explain all the details. Great music and vibe!

Excellent wines and service ~ great place to stop in between tastings OR to just hang out and have a wonderful afternoon in Napa! The hosts are great, wines too, and the venue is excellent!

Absolutely amazing experience. This tasting room is by far my most favorite downtown indulgence yet. The staff is at your service, beyond friendly and knowledgeable about the wine the serve. The decor and vibe is so eclectic and well thought out. I felt like I was visiting a celebrity and enjoying wine in their home. I'm pretty particular about wine and I was pleasantly blown away with the wines I tasted here. Ask for Da Marcus, he was a fabulous host. I will be returning asap!

Our brand ambassador, Max, was professional, knowledgeable, patient, kind, informative, thorough, and personable. The wine was extraordinary. The ambiance was deliciously pleasant. Can't wait to return.

Amazing experience - we were one of the only parties in and got amazing personalized service. Wine and staff were great, but what made me fall in love was the interior. We loved it - like modern glam. Will definitely come back and recommend this place.

Not cool. I'm going to go ahead and say that maybe they had another large crowd coming which is why they turned ours away. We walked by twice after leaving two other fabulous wineries, and theirs was still empty. I'll just leave this here and keep walking like we should have done when we saw this place ‍

Two words. One name: Gregory Vaughn. The level and quality of service we received was unbelievable (in a great way). We were doing a Brandy tasting and could not help but want to go into Vineyard 29. Gregory was soooooooo hospitable and knowledgeable! I will definitely be back and am currently looking over membership information. It seems a little intimidating when you walk by but it is not at all. Prices are worth the experience. Can't wait to bring more friends and family in the future. Definitely make a reservation.

My husband and I were visiting from northern Indiana to try a few wineries in Napa. We headed into the tasting room between lunch and an appointment. Wow! The place is spectacular! Clean beautiful and a spectacular giraffe chandelier which was a great conversation piece! Wine was great- we especially loved the Zinfandel! Our host Jonathon was awesome!! So friendly, knowledgeable and sweet! We stayed and just chatted with him for over an hour! Highly recommend stopping by to see him!

My hubby and I snuck away for the night without the kids. This was the 2nd tasting room we visited. We absolutely loved this place. The decor was sophisticated and comfortable at the same time - and it was a wet and cold night so we wanted comfy! We each had the CRU tasting and couldn't decide which wine we liked best, they were all so good! The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The music was just the right volume and vibe! We loved the ambiance as much as we loved the wine. Luckily we only live 45 minutes away so we'll be back!

We tried their cru and Vinyard 29 tasting. We had a wonderful time. Our host was knowledgeable and made the event fun and entertaining. Out of the 8 glasses we tried the V29 estate Cabernet was the best. Rich, fruit forward and great finish. We got to sit outside and watch the Napa Christmas parade..bonus. This is in a great location and I will definitely have to comeback.

I love Vineyard 29's new and improved tasting room. As Napa locals we have to try every new spot that opens in downtown. We loved their old tasting room so we had to give this one a try. It does not disappoint. We were greeted by the kindest people who took the best care of us, and enjoyed some delicious wines. We went right when they opened so we definitely want to give it another go now that they are also serving bites. See you guys again real soon.

I was traveling for work and decided to drive down to Napa for some wine tastings. The tasting room across the street recommended Vineyard 29 so I stopped by. It was just me so it was nice to have a lovely conversation with the wine connoisseur. He poured some samplings for me and explained the notes - guiding me a long the way as I tried to describe what I was tasting. I recommend this place!

The service here was sub par, to say the least. It seemed as though the employees would rather talk to one another rather than patrons. Loud outbursts and yelling from staff, while at the same time customers trying to have quiet conversations over their noise made the ambiance less than favorable. The pseudo Hermes throws and cheap furniture pieces made our party feel we were not at an establishment not made for us. The wine was really good, but unfortunately our server made it clear he would rather talk about the gym and squats and bench press than provide us with a warm and welcoming invitation to continue our party. Will not be returning any time soon.

Vineyard 29 is an amazing winery so it's no surprise it's an even more amazing tasting room. The ambiance, staff and (of course) the wine is extraordinary. If you're looking for an upscale and fun place to taste wine while downtown look no further. Ask for Gregory, Demarcus or Lauren!

If you want superb wines and AMAZING host with a luxurious atmosphere, this is the place to be! We were welcomed with open arms and a beautiful glass of their Sauvignon Blanc along with great reds! I would highly recommend checking out this luxurious tasting room and ask for DaMarcus!

Literally the best bar in napa! It's sooooo cute!! And service is amazing! I learned so much about wine and it was so good!! Gregory is amazing bar tender and we will definitely be back next time we're in time! Highly recommend to everyone!! It will be the highlight of your visit to napa!

Such a delightful experience at Vineyard 29 in Downtown Napa! Wines are delicious and the customer service we received from Max was top notch. This was one of our favorite stops during our trip and we will absolutely be back!

Vineyard 29 is a nice swanky spot to do a wine tasting in downtown Napa. My girlfriend and I were visiting and stopped in after a recommendation from another tasting room. The tasting room had just opened up earlier in the week so we weren't exactly sure what to expect. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and sat for a tasting. The wine was pretty good, though our host made our time there even better. Gregory was very attentive and certainly seemed to know his stuff. He also welcomed any questions we had and made the tasting very fun and enjoyable. We learned a lot and walked away from the experience very satisfied. The place has a cool vibe and we would definitely go back. Shout out again to Gregory - if you visit, make sure you ask him about the water from freshly squeezed rocks!

Very good wine in a nice setting. We had some miscommunications and they stepped up. Nice staff and Management. Convenient location with comfortable spacious seating.

Not only does this place have tasty wine (we are a fan of the rose) but it's kid friendly! They have always made us feel welcome with our 1 year old toddler (they even provided some crayons and a puzzle). Beautiful place, would totally recommend!
