    Wine and chocolate pairing.
    Elizabeth S.

    Stepping into the world BACA Wines was an enchanting experience. The beautiful estate, surrounded by vines that seemed to whisper tales of generations past, was simply breathtaking. The visionary women, Alison Frichtl Hollister and Jennifer Brown, along with their dedicated team, have curated exceptional wine tasting journeys. Each sip of their complex and charismatic Zinfandels, crafted from exceptional California grapes, is a testament to their artistry. Peter, our host and wine educator, shared his passion for BACA's exquisite Zinfandels, making our experience truly unforgettable. It's evident that family values and a deep love for the land are woven into the very fabric of BACA Wines. CHOCOLATE & WINE PAIRING We enjoyed the flavorful harmony of five red wines expertly paired with handcrafted artisanal chocolates from Fleur Sauvage Chocolates.

    Beautiful tasting area, good wine and a friendly knowledgeable host, what more can you ask for? Tristan, made our tasting experience an informed one, with lots of history of the Baca-Hall brand and the Healdsburg area. We will definitely be back!

    Peter and Rick were awesome! They were so knowledgeable about the brands of wine. What a great wine tasting experience. We ended up with a bottle of Ring Around the Rosé, and Walt Clos Pepe. Then the vibe on the patio couch seating and be able to walk around the vineyard a little bit was great! Thank you.

    The outside is an interesting modern building and the inside follows with the modern vibe. It was loud inside and a tad cramped. I'm all for sharing tables whole tasting but my ears were ringing. The wine tender was trying to be personalable but we just wanted to taste amongst ourselves. The wines were so so and just not for me. Other wine tasters around our party were enjoying. Perhaps this is the winery for you, it was just not for me.

    Lovely little place. We walked in and couldn't accommodate us for a tasting but we're able to choose a glass of wine and enjoy it on the patio. Friendly staff and both wines were wonderful.

    What a wonderful find. We were scouting out places to bring a large group in the fall and this one is a winner! Lovely setting, great selection of wines from Baca, Hall and Walt wines - how fabulous. Inside and outside seating available. Inside you will see they have lots of fun games scattered about for a unique distraction. Can't wait to bring our group here in October - yeah!

    Fun wine tasting! Thank you, Tristan!

    Very fun place to go wine tasting. I love that it was more than just tasting - they add a game of guessing each wine's tasting notes. My group went during some rainy weather, so we enjoyed the tasting indoors. Our host, Tristian, was knowledgeable and a great sport with all our silly jokes.

    They call this a wine and food experience. Laughable. More like a tidbit nibble experience.

    So Fun! I love learning about bubbles and tasting different…read morebubbles from around the world. I got the International Cuvee Blind Flight. Of course, I got them wrong. I don't have the refined palate when it comes to bubbles to get it right. What was surprising was that I ranked the English bubbles as my #1 fave. WOW! Now, I'll be on the lookout for English bubbles on wine lists to try more to see if there are any others I like. Sarah (the proprietor) is a gem. She's been in the biz for ages so she's got lots of tidbits and wisdom to share. Highly recommend stopping by here if you like or want to learn more about sparkline wines and champagnes.

The interior is absolutely charming with tasteful decor. I was greeted immediately with a smile followed by a glass of water & tasting menu.

My friend and I decided to do one of the surprise flights which turned out to be quite a bit of fun I enjoyed each one of the glasses, however, was incorrect in identifying /matching was however my friend guessed correctly-- it's all about having fun! We also treated our self to one of the charcuterie boards, which was absolutely scrumptious. The star of this was the hot honey to dip in with the goodies on the plate. The ambience is fun and lively and the owner, Sarah was quite delightful and her staff friendly and knowledgeable. I absolutely will be returning!

    I want to be transparent at the outset: we ultimately did not visit, so this review is not about…read morethe Champagne, the space, or the in-person experience. It is specifically about the reservation handling and customer service we experienced. My partner and I recently moved to the Bay Area and enjoy exploring restaurants, wine, and tasting experiences. Our plan for Thursday, August 13, was to attend the San Francisco Champagne Society Happy Hour at 6:00 PM and then go to our confirmed 8:00 PM dinner at Lazy Bear. Our Lazy Bear reservation was correctly booked for August 13. My partner genuinely believed she had also selected August 13 when booking SFCS through Tock, but the completed reservation and reminder emails showed Wednesday, August 12. We do not know whether the date reset during booking or we simply made a selection error. Either way, we acknowledge that we failed to notice the date shown in those two emails and consequently missed the reservation. The next day, as soon as we discovered the problem, we contacted the owner. We did not request a cash refund. We asked whether our prepaid $102.90 Happy Hour reservation could be moved to an available time that day, either 5:00 or 6:00 PM. The owner explained that he had held two seats, prepared the space, and created a menu for the missed reservation. I understand that resources may have been used and that the original booking was designated nonrefundable. However, the only exception initially offered was an upgrade to a $125-per-person experience. The total would be $334.06, with our original $102.90 credited, requiring us to pay an additional $231.16. The first time offered was 7:00 PM, which would not work because of our 8:00 PM dinner. The owner later offered 5:30 PM under the same upgrade condition. Trying to reach a reasonable compromise, we proposed using our original payment for the same Happy Hour experience that day and separately purchasing a $75 or $125 experience that weekend. We explained that we are Champagne enthusiasts, had just moved here, and wanted to explore the different experiences step by step and potentially become repeat customers. The owner's final offer was that we prepay a completely new $125-per-person reservation for any date that month before a 3:00 PM deadline. Only if we made that new purchase--approximately $334.06--would he allow us to attend the previously paid Happy Hour at 5:00 PM that day. He also stated that we could dispute the charge and might win, that Tock's coverage would still pay him, and that we would then be unable to make any future reservations at his establishment. I understand that a business may enforce a nonrefundable no-show policy. If the answer had simply been a polite "no," I would have been disappointed but would have understood. What created such a negative impression was making a substantial, time-limited additional purchase the condition for any accommodation, even after we offered to purchase another experience separately that weekend. It felt less like a gesture of hospitality or a good-faith attempt to resolve an honest mistake and more like using the mistake as leverage to secure an immediate additional sale. The warning that a billing dispute would result in being barred from future reservations made the interaction feel even more adversarial. This was not about the $102.90 or an unwillingness to pay $125 per person. We were already prepared to make another paid reservation. It was about the principle involved and the way the situation was handled. Based solely on this customer-service experience, we decided not to visit or make any future reservations. Again, I cannot evaluate the Champagne or the on-site experience; this review concerns only the reservation process and the owner's handling of the issue.

    TLDR; Excellent Champagne, well priced, and Bill was warm and knowledgeable…read more Came with my mom for Mother's Day ahead of dinner nearby. Bill greeted us at the door and showed us into the space. Despite being a primarily residential building, the tasting lounge was professional, clean, and well curated - great vibe (no idea why anyone would feel differently). Started by pulling up maps to show us where our wines would be coming from with details on the terroir and some history on the producers. Many of these producers he's visited and knows personally, which made whole experience feel much more authentic than others tastings I've done. Can tell he really loves this stuff and his passion is contagious. Poured very unique bottles you won't find many other places and all delicious. Recommend any champagnes fans in Bay Area visit.

The tasting was great, with surprisingly generous pours! Which was wonderful. After the tour, we visited the deli and the food was very yummy with a decent amount of portion sizes for the price. For the tasting however, that's where the bad experience happened. We were having such a wonderful time, until we got a woman named Alayna. She seemed like she was in a bad mood, had a bad attitude towards us, made us feel rushed, corrected the way we "tallied" our choices on the tasting menu, and was extremely off-putting with little condescending comments. Other than that experience, we enjoyed our time. We would come again, and just dodge her in the future if we saw her in the tasting room.

The chirashi (fish and rice) bowl was fresh and flavorful, the fried items were seasoned without feeling too heavy, and the katsu sandwich was crisp and just enough to leave you wanting more. We liked it enough that when I noticed a couple standing outside looking over the menu, I motioned for them to come in :) No such thing as perfection unfortunately. For example, the shiso bites looked nice, but for the price and portion, I didn't think they were worth ordering again. One item had run out as well, which is why we got the shiso bites in the first place. Overall, a very good happy hour experience, a peaceful atmosphere, and a setting that makes it easy to linger. A must-try restaurant in Yountville. My gf raves about RO whenever she gets the chance, and we'd definitely come back.
