    Unfortunately, we were not in love with this stop of the trip. Our host was way too talkative for our taste (and not even about the wine a lot of the time), we didn't enjoy any of the wines, and the tasting was outdoors without heated lamps so we were quite cold (we were given blankets but it was still too cold for us). We mentioned wanting to go to the bourbon room when we made the reservation but they didn't take us until at the very end I had to specifically ask, and even then he seemed reluctant. Sadly, don't think we will be returning.

    AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE at Aonair Winery. I highly recommend this unique winery tour. The property, which you get to see, is beautiful! The wine was delectable. I enjoyed the Grenache blend the most!

    Beautiful view drinking their bubbly rose

    This was hands down my favorite winery in Napa!!! The wines are great but the service was incredible! Matt is one of my favorite hosts ever!! They are so welcoming, yet knowledgeable, yet fun, and the time flew by while we were there! Oh and not to mention the views are STELLAR!! We were able to see their cellar and caught a glimpse of their wine making process. It was incredible! Lastly, for the whiskey and scotch nerds - they have an awesome man cave / whiskey room in a hidden spot you have to see! You need to stop by and check this place out!

    We were recommended Aonair buy my boyfriends boss and I am SO thankful we were. This was such a unique experience compared to the other 4 vineyards we visited on our trip. It is so low key, tucked away in a converted home, and you really get an in depth look at the vineyards and get to tour around the property. Matt was a great time and kept us laughing throughout our visit. The tasting is at no cost, and as they are a smaller operation you need to reach out directly via phone or email to book. The three bottles we ordered just arrived and I cant wait to open them! The bottles are beautiful with the dipped cork and will make a great keepsake.

    One of our favorite wineries on our visit to Napa. The grounds are absolutely stunning. We got a warm welcome and a personalized tour. We sat out on the balcony for our first 2 wines. They he took us in his four wheeler through the vineyards and stopped at a lovely spot overlooking the lake. When we got back we were given a quick tour of the cellars. Highly recommend giving this place a visit.

    The view is to die for

    Incredible just doesn't quite describe it.... the wine and scenery are second to none. It's. A bit of a beautiful drive up the mountain but with the beautiful day and the weather being perfect... we loved the time together. Small intimate winery where you feel Like family

    We visited 16 wineries on this, our first trip to Napa with the total experience at this winery being by far the BEST experience we had! Our hotel concierge set up this reservation for us and when we arrived, we found that this experience was very exclusive, with only one other couple being there at that time. Dan spent a lot of time explaining the winery and owners, as well as the owner's history to us. He was very relaxed and allowed us to sit, and sip one wine at a time, while taking in the incredible views from their deck without being pressed for time. He took us on an ATV ride through the vineyard, over one mountain to see Lake Hennessey on the other side, from a beautiful gazebo they built on the hillside, in Dad's Block. We were able to taste wines while out there as well and then we came back and were fortunate to get a tour of their wine caves and barrel room and vat area. Their wines tasted AMAZING! They are definitely of a higher quality and worth a try! This is a very small batch winery, only offering wines to those who have visited and members. The prices of their wines are very fair, considering how exclusive they are and have amazing this property and this experience was! We can't wait to return and do this one all over again!

    Boutique winery up on the mountains with the best vibe. Multiple people in the Napa wine industry recommended this place and I couldn't agree more! One of the best stops in all of Napa. You definitely won't be leaving without purchasing a few bottles because all of their wines area AMAZING. Tasting room has an outdoor fireplace. They also take you on an ATV that leads to a patio with wine barrel chairs and amazing view of the lake Hennessey. More wineries based on views, price, varietals at finevining.com IG @fine.vining Main varietals: Bordeux varietal red blend, Cab Franc, Can Sauv, Grenache blend Tasting fee: No fee to taste Average wine rating on Vivino: 4.5 Cute for pictures: 4/5 QPR: 4.5/5, average price $40-100

    Dad's Block View on Aonair Property!

    Sunday was my family's first time visiting Aonair. Jose was our host and we got incredibly lucky with this one. Jose walked us into the building and greeted us with bubbles. We sat around the fire like a family enjoying the bubbles and talking about the wine. Then he took us in an ATV through the vineyards, which was the coolest thing I have ever done. He brought us out to "Dad's Block" which is one of the most majestic views of the valley. We enjoyed more wine among with the vines, which just feels right. Jose ended the tour by taking us through the caves, which circle beneath the property and showed us where the wine is produced. Aonair is lucky to have Jose and we can't wait to plan our next trip back to see him. Aonair is a must-see vineyard if you want the full experience! Thank you!

    Aonair Winery is not one of the big-name Napa wineries but it clearly is one of the most enjoyable to visit. It is located quite far above the valley above the Silverado Trail. It was the most relaxed wine tastings I have had in a long time. Sitting in lounge chairs overlooking the Napa hillside is not a bad way to spend a Friday afternoon. The staff is very knowledgeable and the passionate about their wines. The prices are reasonable for the high quality of the product. I also appreciated that the winery is very supportive of our military service members with sizable discounts. Overall, Aonair was a wonderful surprise. Reservations are required.

While working in St. Helena, I could never find an opening in a reservation, so here was a great opportunity now that all of us are retired. Our friends live in Clear Lake while we live in Vallejo, so this is a central place to meet. It was the best decision I made because every year for the past several anniversaries, we've gone to Cache Creek to C2. Their food and service is excellent because my husband enjoys poker, but I thought a change of scenery would be nice. And it was! Firstly, it was very kind of the staff to present us with a greeting card signed by everyone -- how sweet and thoughtful! We will cherish that! Secondly, we were very impressed with how the food/wine was locally sourced. It was incredible to hear the story about Custom, the Bull, and taste the difference between the Highland beef compared to Angus. Our waitress was "Erica S." She was engaging, personable, and very informative. My husband and I would definitely like to return to return to experience the dinner menu! We and our guests had the following dishes: Artichoke appetizer Arbororio Biscuits & Gravy Two Cheeseburgers Three Bloody Mary's Farmstead Margarita When they found out it was our anniversary celebration, the house sent over four glasses of complimentary champagne and a dish of dessert -- again, very sweet and kind of them I now understand why so many crowds flock to this restaurant! It's well worth the wait! If you have not experienced a meal there, you must definitely go now!

    I was really excited to try this restaurant for the first time, especially for Mother's Day, and…read morewhile the food itself was excellent, the overall experience was disappointing enough that I would not return. From the beginning, there seemed to be constant miscommunication between staff. We specifically booked an outdoor reservation and were seated inside instead. While mistakes happen, it set the tone for the rest of the evening. The bigger issue involved the wine and corkage fee. We purchased a bottle directly from the market associated with the restaurant and were told by the employee there that the corkage fee would be waived if we bought their wine. When we sat down, our server Sara told us that was not true and that we would still have to pay the fee. I explained what we had been told, and when she asked if I wanted a manager involved, I said yes. Before the manager even arrived or clarified the situation, the server opened our bottle of wine. In the silence and confusion, I reasonably assumed the fee issue had been resolved. Then the manager came over and told us we would still be charged and implied that nobody at the market would have told us otherwise. The way it was handled made my husband and I feel like we were being accused of making the whole thing up, which was especially upsetting on Mother's Day. At that point, the bottle was already opened, so we were essentially stuck paying the fee regardless. Between being seated incorrectly, the poor communication between employees, and how dismissive the situation felt, the service completely overshadowed what should have been a special meal. The rest of the service we felt ignored and there was minimal effort to accommodate. Great food alone is not enough to justify returning when the hospitality experience feels this frustrating and unprofessional.

The barrel tasting was great and surprisinly all their wines are pretty drinkable right out of the barrell I suppose because they dont have much tannins so they dont need alot of tiem to mellow. I liked most of them but at $250 a botttle I felt they were way overpriced compared to other high end Napa area wines we are familiar with. After the cave tour they sit inside and you get to try several more wines so we had plenty to drink. I was not expecting a full size pizza for the two of us we already had lunch plan right after so we took most of it with us.
