    Tasting with Tom
    Marlene B.

    Bougetz Cellars owner Tom Bougetz is Five Stars! So accommodating and thoughtful! They were in the middle of a crush and took the time to serve us. It was an amazing experience. We were treated to the menu tastings and then some additional side by sides. The experience was above my expectations! My personal favorite was the Amaryllis. There was plenty of parking. Tom's brother makes the deck barrel seating which is so comfortable and fun!

    Bougetz was our third tasting room stop on the Napa Valley Wine Trolley tour (and fourth/last stop overall), and honestly I would've skipped it if I had just seen pictures. It's a small tasting room, but don't let that deter you -- what it lacks in ambience and vines, it makes up in delicious wine and an amazing tasting host, Tim. Tim walked us through "real" wine tasting (e.g., not being pretentious, sharing that everybody's favorite is different for a reason, "legs" are fake, testing the sweetness between the Cab Sauv valley and mountains, etc.) and made it fun. Even some people who wanted to skip the tasting were given a tasting glass to try one kind because Tim wanted them to experience it with the rest of us. Loved the Chardonnay and the Meritage, plus had such a blast laughing during this tasting. Strongly recommend!

    Awesome food and wine My friend David and I visited here today as part of our full day wine package that we purchased. The venue is beautiful! Lots of great places to sit outside and indoors to enjoy the high quality wine. We tasted 7 different wines and they were all outstanding! We enjoyed 5 reds and 2 whites and the quality was excellent for all of them. Tim was the wine expert that coached us through the experience. He was entertaining and informative about the wine. I splurged on purchasing a variety of high end wines from this winery for my own enjoyment plus gifts for my family. I highly recommend this tasting experience and the great quality wine!!

    Our hostess Carol Ann is the best!!! I finally made it to Bougetz Cellars Not in a vineyard...it's a tasting room. we were seated on the porch and it was a perfect day for this The wine was amazing!!! love every wine we tried and i took 4 bottles home. this seems to be a spot that locals know ...hasn't hit the tourist press (yet). definitely must try! PS...so you don't sound dumb like it did...pronounced "BOO GETS" NOT "BOUGIE ETZ" (yup that's what I had been saying)

    Tim was awesome. My wife and I had no idea what we were doing or what to expect. He made it a great experience. Highly recommend. Wines were excellent!

    We discovered Bougetz because it was on the list of wineries that accepted our priority wine pass. It ended up being a cute, small tasting room next to a few others on the road that Silverado Resort sits on. We reserved with our priority wine pass which got us two tastings for $30 (instead of per person). We were also super happy to find out when we were there that buying two bottles waived the tasting fee. Luckily for us there were two standout wines that we wanted to buy! The tasting included four wines, plus a bonus pour when we sat down, plus two bonus pours at the end. Damn no wonder we were more tipsy after this one. They had outdoor and indoor space, and had set our reservation up inside. I was a little hesitant to do that since we've been on the safer side during the pandemic, but we were the only ones there and outside we would have been next to a large group so we went with it. I will say that both people working there that we interacted with were incredibly nice, funny, and down to earth. I was a little uncomfortable that the guy that initially seated us took off his mask once he found out we were vaccinated (just to give more reference I'm one of those people who hasn't left the house in over a year because of a health condition). Luckily Carol Ann served us and she was super respectful about it, she kept her mask on and even talked to us from 6 feet away when not pouring and giving the story behind each wine which I appreciated. We tried: 2018 Sauvignon Blanc - Another more acidic one so I wasn't a big fan. 2/5 2018 Belle Reve, Viognier ($38) - Our first time trying this type of wine and it was intriguingly good. Similar to a chardonnay but just a different taste, with a slight sweetness. 4/5 2017 The Cairn, Pinot Noir ($42) - Apparently they pronounce it "the karen" which is hilarious. It was good, but not great. Missing that intense smokey flavor for me. 3/5 2017 Jovana, Merlot/Cabernet Franc ($52) - This one had a very funny story behind the name as well. Again I thought it was okay but not great. I like the more fruity merlots. 3/5 2017 Jetrois, Cabernet Sauvignon ($79) - I can't remember what I thought of this one just that I liked the next cab better. 2017 Amaryllis, Cabernet Sauvignon ($62) - This was fantastic, not too bold but still tons of flavor. 5/5 2017 Prominence, Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ($99) - One of those pure cabs that is super super strong. Too much for me. 3/5 The tasting experience here was definitely the most down to earth we experienced in Napa, so if that's your jam I'd recommend it. We got to learn all about the wines, the stories behind the names, and even how to correctly spin your wine glass and where to smell to get the most accurate smell of the wine. Fun times!

    Amazing wine and such a great experience. Tim was awesome, and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this place! We left with 4 bottles of wine - 2 Chardonnay and 2 Merlot.

    Bring a picnic and enjoy the sunset!

    The winemaker, Tom loves to make rich Cabs from only the best NV vineyards. Plus a Pinot from the Russian River, and a Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast. You'll learn all kinds of tidbits and fun facts from the tasting room team! They're knowledgeable with a true passion for the product. And you'll probably meet Tom too!

    Carol Ann was great and we absolutely loved visiting Bougetz! It was our favorite tasting to date and loved hearing the history behind the wines. We became wine club members because of how impressed we were with the wines and highly recommend to anyone in the Napa area!

    This is a must visit winery when you're in NAPA. You need to have a tasting with David who goes through all the cool sophisticated tips of wine tasting. The wine is so delicious. Please taste the Viognier White wine it's so good!!!! I highly recommend!

    We first visited Orin Swift a couple of years ago and had such a great experience that it became…read moreone of the highlights of our trip. Unfortunately, it was one of our last stops, so we couldn't take any bottles home with us. This time, we made sure Orin Swift was our very first stop, and it did not disappoint. The wines are fantastic, but what really makes the experience special is the hospitality. Marcel was an incredible host: knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the wines. He made the tasting both educational and fun, and he was so easy to talk to that the experience felt more like spending time with a friend than a typical wine tasting. The tasting room itself is beautiful and filled with the unique artwork and personality that Orin Swift is known for. If you're planning a visit, I highly recommend requesting Marcel. He made an already great experience even better. We're so glad we made Orin Swift our first stop this trip. Not only did we get to enjoy another amazing tasting, but this time we finally got to bring a few bottles home with us too.

    We first visited Orin Swift as friends of a member 10 years ago and after a recently visit, it…read morereminded us why we love orin swift, and we became members shortly after. The wines taste amazing and have the winemaker's signature bold complex style, especially in their red blends. Pours are very generous during tastings and the annual parties, both milk run and equinox, are tons of fun with plenty of food, wine, whisky, and music...events we look forward to every year. The tasting room in St Helena is one of the coolest around...everywhere you turn there's a unique piece of art and a different part of the journey of orin swift. You can definitely feel the love there.

I'd imagine that the tasting experience is pretty strongly shaped by the person serving you at the bar and the guy helping me was super friendly, down to earth, and yet still very knowledgeable and serious about the craft even busting out a 3D map is the thin to teach me about the various appellations in the region. Awesome experience, gorgeous spot, busy but didn't feel frantic, even on a sunny weekend.

It was very nice that they had a large selection of cheese and meats we could purchase to take home with us. They also had tons of accessories as well that were priced very well and seemed like nice quality. And the lady behind the cheese counter (I forgot her name) was super helpful and knowledgeable about what cheeses would go great with our wine, same for the ladies behind the meat counter! I only gave four stars because the girls at the register were not very friendly, and the lady that checked us in when we first got there was also not very friendly. Also, the restrooms were pretty gross and needed to be cleaned more frequently. Other than that this was a fun place to visit! We did walk in which was nice so if you need somewhere to do a last minute or unplanned tasting this is a great place!
