Another fun visit to Ashes & Diamonds. Even though they are known for the red wines, we really enjoy their white wine. If you're wondering whether you should pay to have the focaccia bread... you should! Thank you to Joseph who served us this time. read more

A cute and elegant winery in Napa that truly feels like a hidden gem. One thing that really stood out is that it stays open later than many other wineries in the area, which makes it a great option if you want a more relaxed and flexible visit. I would recommend making a reservation, but if you are walking in, it is still a lovely spot to stop by for a glass or even a bottle or two. You can enjoy the space indoors, outdoors, or simply walk around and take in the atmosphere. It is also easy to find, easy to park, and easy to enjoy. The service was great, and the sommelier was especially helpful in guiding us through the tasting options and helping choose a wine. We ended up getting a bottle of the Natural Wine Chardonnay, which was lovely. Honestly, I wish we had bought more. Overall, it was such a charming experience, and I am already excited to come back for a full tasting next time. read more

Stopped in to Ashes & Diamonds on a family trip this weekend. Got a beautiful March Napa day which was pleasantly warm but cool in the shade. We had reserved the A&D Wine + Cheese tasting and were promptly sat with an area for the kids to run around. Wonderful to allow our pup to enjoy as well! Our servers were great with wonderful descriptions of each wine we tasted. They were quick and attentive without making us feel rushed. Allowed us to take our times tasting and enjoying the food and wine. The wine was EXCELLENT!!! I really enjoyed their V.1 and Napa Valley Cab but too be honest ALL were spectacular. Did take a V.1 to go because it was too good to pass up. Also the food was delicious too! They have a beautiful pizza oven out in the back and served one of the best sourdough focaccia breads I've ever had! Salty and crisp outside with fluffy, chewy, bouncy inside. We all enjoyed their quince jam and cultured butter spread on top. The goat Gouda was probably my favorite but all 3 cheeses paired well with the wines. Staff was great to help take our family pics in the vineyard as well. Small parking lot but easy to access the wonderful facility. Would love to come back! read more

Review #1,014 Posted on 3.13.26 We came here for a tasting on Saturday March 7th while in Napa for the day/night. This spot is very close to the main highway right when you turn off/exit. One thing that holds true for the most part about these wineries is they all have huge pieces of land they're on, and plenty of space. You never feel crowded or cramped. We got sat inside right away at a nice corner area for 2 looking out to their property/vines. Our server was awesome, very knowledgeable. We had 4 wines to taste, and all were good. They also gave us some cheese & crackers, and fresh focaccia bread with a sea salt butter, and a jam, to me that tasted like strawberry, but I believe was fig. The cheese, bread, butter, jam were all really quality stuff. My favorite wine was the first red we tried, 2nd wine of the 4 overall. It was the cab Sauvignon 2023. It was super smooth and for my style not as much after bite, which I like that consistency from start to finish without as much change. I'd come here again for sure to taste. read more

Ashes & Diamonds is an amazing winery and unique facility with a mid century modern setup. The owner we were told is from Palm Springs and wanted to bring his Palm Springs look to a Napa Valley winery. We made a tasting reservation in advance and arrived a few minutes prior to our appointment and were warmly greeted by the winery host staff. The winery has a number of different tasting options available at different price points. We opted for the one with the wine flight and cheese and it was a great choice! The wines were all really good and we chose to take a bottle of Rose back home with us. The host staff were all so warm and welcoming and this was a standout winery during our time in Napa! read more

My friend recommended this place to me (he is a regular / member) so I was excited to try it as our 3rd spot on a marathon of wineries day for lunch! The food was INCREDIBLE and the wine pairing was great. We had a mushroom and roast chicken dish that I dream about! The people we interacted with there were lovely and kind - they were attentive on pacing out our meal and wine. The space was gorgeous and cozy, our only more modern aesthetic stop that day - we had lovely weather and sat outdoors on their shaded patio. The indoor area was so cute and I wish we could have spent more time exploring the grounds. We will definitely be back! read more

What a WONDERFUL find on our trip to Napa! Special shoutout to Natalie who made our tasting a memorable experience. We were coming to celebrate an engagement and Natalie's energy was over the top while sharing lovely facts about the wines. The interior tasting room is colorful, hip, and "jazzy". I found it to be so comfortable compared to outdoor tastings where you're typically baking in the sun. We opted for the Wines and Cheese which is $75/pp. This was very fair for the fantastic Point Reyes cheese, homemade focaccia, and the wines. I'm typically not a red wine enjoyer, but these were served at a perfect temperature without that classic bitterness. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a hip and new winery on their trip to Napa. read more

A decent wine tasting experience with scenic views. There is a decent amount of parking at the location. There is some indoor seating, but the majority is outdoors. They have umbrellas to provide shade, but most of the tables had at least a chair or two in the sun. Some of the staff were more enthusiastic about the wines that we were tasting than others. The service was definitely really good for other tables, but not so much for us. The majority of what I learned about the wines was from listening in on what was being told to other tables. I also learned from another table that they usually have house-made focaccia, but the oven was not working while we were there. The wines that we had were decent. Some of the other tables were given the option to swap out some of the wines if they didn't want as many reds, but we were not. It was still a fun experience overall, but I wouldn't necessarily feel the need to go back unless someone else wanted to go. read more

Although the wine wasn't really my taste, the place itself felt wonderfully warm. The staff had a cool, easy vibe, and we ended up having some of the best conversation, the kind that makes the whole visit feel memorable read more

Truly my favorite winery to visit while in Napa. The property is so unique and picturesque - the tasting room is a vibe too. The staff is also lovely and so helpful when it comes to giving perfect recommendations. It's also one of the few wineries that puts as much intention into their food program as the wine. Every time we've gotten a chance to eat there, we've always had a delicious and seasonal meal. Can't recommend enough! read more

Exceptional experience at this winery! Matt was an outstanding host for our party of five. We were walk-ins and were welcomed with genuine hospitality from the moment we arrived. The tasting was excellent, and our group's favorite was the Grand Vin. Matt's local recommendations and knowledge of the area made the experience even better. We'd already indulged at a nearby restaurant, so we skipped the food, but everything we saw looked wonderful. He was also kind enough to let us explore the beautiful grounds and take photos, which made for a perfect end to our visit. Overall, a 10/10 experience. We can't wait to come back! read more

Wonderful food, wonderful wine, wonderful setting. No notes. Highly recommend, also kid friendly.

Still one of my favorities, and now I'm an actual member. It's simply gorgeous and the wines can't be beat! read more

We were in the region off season and popped in after the host at a previous tasting recommended this as our next stop. They had space to squeeze the two of us in for a tasting. We opted for the A&D wines & Cheese tasting. Our guide through the tasting explained the winery and its offerings. He answered our questions and kept things moving at a comfortable pace. The décor felt retro to me, kind of 1960s. A tray of local cheeses, sourdough focaccia, butter and quince preserve was brought out to accompany our wines. Our first taste was their NV Crémant, a sparkling, refreshing start to our tour of tastes. I think this was our favorite though we did also enjoy 2023 Rosa, 2021 Cabernet Franc, 2022 Bates Ranch Mountain Cuvée and their 2022 Grand Vin. The cheeses were delicious. I have a goat cheese allergy, so my husband enjoyed that selection. The focaccia had the nice tang of sourdough with a bit of salt on the crust. The cultured butter was delicious and went well with the quince. We ended up purchasing a few bottles of the Crémant to take home. What an overall lovely experience. read more

The WORST wine tasting spot ever. My friends and i came here spending a day exploring napa. We were soooo excited for this spot because we haven't gone to a wine spot together and let me tell you, we were shook by the service. They were degrading us because we didn't know that much about wine. It was our first conversation as well like we haven't even started the experience yet. There was a team in the back that just continuously glared at us... stay away from here for those who are newer to wine. They were su ch knot it alls and we felt not welcomed. It really was sad and at the end, my friends and i were super bummed because we spent money here:( read more

My friends invited me to one of their exclusive event they hosted for Wine and Wellness. I was honored to be her plus one for this vineyard. It was my first time visiting this Vineyard and I heard great things about this place. I was trying to purchase the rosé that they have but unfortunately they were sold out for a while. We headed to the event a little bit late so we weren't able to participate in the wellness part but we really enjoy the small bites that they provided. The weather was perfect for the day. It was a little bit windy and sunny but we were able to sit under the shades, enjoying our tasting. I'm a big fan of their rosé even though I'm more of the red wine person. Overall I really enjoyed their events and hoping I can get my hands on their rosé soon! read more

Ashes & Diamonds - 6 bottles pickups - Wineries Near Me - Napa, California

4.5 STARS Date: Saturday, September 21st, 2024 Time: 1pm Party of: 5 *Rosé: №7 -- 2022 *Cabernet Franc: №8 -- 2021 *Mountain Cuvée: №5 -- 2022 *Curated local cheeses with A&D Sourdough Focaccia *Seasonal chips & house-made dips A girlfriend and I decided to get our group together and do a day of wine tasting. She's a member here at A&D, so I believe we did the Member Picnic? I never saw the bill, but based on the descriptions on the site, I'm guessing that's what we did. The website says it includes the snacks above as long as you buy a bottle of wine. For the bottle, we asked our sommelier / wine steward what he would recommend to pair with the food. He suggested the rose or the cab franc. We tasted both and settled on the cab franc. It was paired well with the cheeses and dip. Plus, I'm more of a red wine girls anyways, so I was happy with our selection. One in our group wanted take home a bottle, so he tried the Mountain Cuvee. I took a sip and actually enjoyed this one more. But I tend to like more bold, full bodied reds. He ended up purchasing it. The grounds are cute. And the decor kinda modern. I didn't wander around much to explore. We sat outside, so were able to enjoy the nice weather. I could see inside the main building, so saw the yellow and white motif that seems too dominate the winery. Glad I was able to visit a new spot. And this is super convenient if you are having lunch at Don Giovanni. REVIEW #3569 read more

This was by far my favorite winery of the trip. It doesn't look like any other winery in Napa -- the design is modern, sleek, and such a vibe. I enjoyed every single second being there. The wine was amazing, and the staff was just as great -- welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive. The cheeseboard and bread are absolutely to die for. I definitely recommend paying a little extra to add that on because it truly elevates the experience. There was one wine in particular that completely blew me away -- I had to leave with a bottle that day. 10/10 would absolutely recommend. read more

I gave this place a two star very overpriced very staged and just dry all around. There are many different wineries way less expensive and much more fun. read more

We absolutely loved our time here, we even ended up signing up to be wine club members. It was very unique wines which we were craving after a weekend of a ton of Pinots and acidic Cabs. We loved the 70's style decor and yes while most is outdoor, we luckily had a nice shady spot. Our tasting guide (Ryan?) was super knowledgable and had great banter, giving us many recommendations for the area as well. We opted for the cheese and bread tasting and it was well worth the additional cost - the butter, bread, and cheeses were some of the best I've ever had (especially at a winery) - I repeat, DO NOT skip out on the butter and bread. We loved that all the wines were easy on the palette, none were too acidic or tannic forward. We loved the Chenin blanc and the last bottle on the tasting (red at $105). Overall a great vibe, seems like they do allow children and pets perhaps? But we enjoyed our time here! read more

I enjoyed our reserved tasting here. It was rainy and windy when we went, so we were given blankets and the heaters were turned on outside. I enjoyed it. It's a nice, farmstead feel and the service was great. A very nice woman helped us and told us the history of the place. read more

Place was relax and chill. The service was great. The person who helped us was very knowledgeable about the wines, and the wines were really good! We had white and red. The cheese served went really well with the wine selection. It was a 5-10 min walk from our hotel. read more

Lunch was amazing. Wine was ok I thought. I would come back here just for the lunch!! Cute place, def gives dessert vibes

Rude staff. Worst service in Napa. Told us to go somewhere else and "google" where to go after 4PM! Do not recommend!

Tasted three wines, a white blend, dark Rosé, and a cab Franc. Steel barrel aged. Not a fan, heavy on the tannins. So if you like bitter wine, then give this a try. But honestly it was one of the sommelier that was loud and dishing out rude comments about customers. She complained about how people come and don't support the wineries, how they don't buy the wine and how people are on their phones the whole time. It made the ambiance very awkward. read more

We had the best time at Ashes and Diamonds the wine tasting was wonderful and the food pairing exceptional. The duck confit takes over 60 hours from marinade to slow cook to 500 degrees crispy skin. Their white wine this year was wonderful. Their rose' was another we loved, we also bought the Cab Franc their wines are hard to match! The grounds are pretty the inside and outside is so relaxing we stayed a few hours enjoying the property. We ordered 3 bottle to ship to Maryland and they arrive Saturday 6 days later. read more

Ashes & Diamonds is one of the most exciting destination for a while because it is different from most other cabernet power house offering the rich extracted powerful Napa style cabs. It offers an impression with their traditionally styled Napa Valley wines, which focus on terroir and classic older style California winemaking. The winery is located at entrance to Napa Valley, right off the main Highway 29. Its can't miss zig-zag roof and portholes pay homage to the iconic California mid-century modern architecture.. Today we had the opportunity to taste the latest releases from Ashes & Diamonds, and were completely taken back, as the wines were nothing short of sensational. The lunch pairing menu was refreshingly Hungarian inspired dishes and paired well with most of the wine. The Rutherford cabernet was a personal favorite, sourcing fruits from the famed George the III. Stylistically all the wines are refreshing and not overpowering, the experience is top notch. Would recommend to be the first stop of you are coming from San Francisco and book the lunch pairing, you will have a great time! read more

Very disappointing. Staff in the background glaring, making weird facial expressions to the questions that we were asking. Consisted of three tastings, and then you're done. Experience is based on getting you to sign up to be a club member not even allowing you to purchase a single bottle of wine to enjoy the day more with friends. I can't stress how bad the background staff was. They seemed extremely rude. Is it that hard to smile and make people feel welcome when you are spending time and money to be at the winery! Please put your staff through customer service training! read more

Ashes & Diamonds is a MUST if you are in the area (locals or visitors) The wine is so good and what makes this winery stand out if their culinary team.

Definitely check it out next time you are in the area! read more

$50 for 3 tastings was a disappointment. It also lacks the overall experience offered by its competitors.

This was our third and last winery of the day, and sadly it compared unfavorably with the prior ones we visited. This winery has a unique mid century modern vibe (I felt like we stepped onto a Brady Bunch set). The tasting price was on the high side, and unfortunately my group didn't find any of the wines enjoyable. They all lacked structure and personality. I understand this is a young winery but each wine was so bland and one-note. In addition, the service was terrible, with a major lack of hospitality. The timing in between each pour was long, and the descriptions of each wine were brusque and rushed. Our server literally gave us a 10 second spiel of each wine and rushed off. It also took forever to flag someone down for the check, even though were seated inside in plain view. The only bright spot was the cheese platter was nice, especially the bread (sourdough focaccia) offered. But we will not be returning. read more

Underwhelming at best, overrated at worst. Ashes and Diamonds is aesthetic Instagram-bait for a slightly-younger crowd than the traditional Napa demographic of yesterdecade. Think mid-late 20-somethings who work in tech in the Bay Area. A tasting is also pricier than wineries in the area that make much more complex and interesting wine. I will give them credit for: * the cheese plate was really nice (a decent selection of cheeses, some almonds, and a surprisingly good bread) * our server was very nice but overworked * the architecture and decor is very aesthetic and a breath of fresh air to the more traditional "Napa winery look" Onto the bad: the wine, unfortunately. My group got the Grand Cuvee flight, which was approachable and inoffensive, but otherwise pretty meh. Not a lot of body, nuance, flavor development, etc. etc. The flavors generally just kind of... fell flat and tasted like average $20 Safeway wine. Of the four we tried, none of them made me think about wanting to take a bottle home. * 2015 Cab Franc * 2017 Grand Vin (IIRC this is a blend) - the favorite among the less wine-familiar in our group * 2018 Mountain Cuvee Bates Ranch Vineyard * 2018 Cab Sauvignon Mountain Peak Vineyard To be fair to them, I'm seeing a lot of reviews mention that the wine here is "delicate", so maybe they just didn't fit my flavor profile. For reference, I'm currently all about Pinot Noirs that are bright with red fruit, but have some darker blue fruit and light tannins lurking in the background. I usually appreciate a darker but fruit-forward wine, like a Cab Sauvignon - current favorite is Realm's The Tempest. (Note, I'm seeing a lot of people in the reviews praise the meal + wine pairings - we didn't have time to do that pairing, but maybe the food and wine pairings are better) read more

One of the more delicate wine and high aesthetic wine tastings we did in Napa! Service was very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Similarly to other reviews: their wines don't have much body to them. They were good but overpriced for what you may be looking for. They are very delicate and good pairing with sharper cheeses. The aesthetics here are amazing! Beautifully retro with some mid century vibes. I would say it is still a good visit when in Napa! read more

Went there for a lunch tasting menu with some friends and enjoyed a nice outdoor spot on a beautiful day in the beautiful town of Napa. The space is very well designed and large for great views and a nice ambience. Sitting outside was spectacular and made the experience even more enjoyable. We shared salads which I ncluded, fresh corn, and greens, and were followed by the selection of meats, including duck, which was perfectly executed with appropriate sources, and other delicacies. Each course was accompanied with a glass of wine, starting with sparkling wine and moving to their robust red. I enjoyed their wines, good character solid Napa style wines a little bit on the lighter side but still enjoyable. I recommend this place read more
