We had an amazing experience at Caymus Vineyards, thanks to Ezekiel! He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. He took the time to explain the wines and made the entire tasting enjoyable and memorable. His passion and professionalism truly stood out. We highly recommend visiting Caymus and asking for Ezekiel--you won't be disappointed! read more

Celebrating my cousins Bachelorette, we were a group for about 12, beautiful private space. Tasting was amazing wine and charcuterie boards. Not sure if there was food because our personalized menus only shared our wine list. I was not mad at it. Staff was very attentive and genuinely excited for her. We were encouraged to visit around the vineyard. We stayed for about 3 hrs or less read more

I've heard of their wines for many years now and never went to the winery up until now and man it was as good and even better than I imagined. The interior has that calming and quiet peaceful existence. It's nice and cool inside with nice seating areas. There's a small open area that shows the history and pictures of the family as this beautiful winery is all family-owned. There is a large area where you can see all the wine barrels which is so cool. There is a gift shop to buy any wine they offer. There is a nice bar area to relax n enjoy some fine wine. The exterior grounds are ideal for relaxing with some wine and learning about this Caymus Winery. It was the perfect day w ideal weather with cool music playing in the background. There are comfortable seating areas with shade and even some couches for your comfort. The landscaping is beautiful and definitely picturesque. Our host Whitney was superb and deserves some praise (can't spell 'Praise' without a 'raise'). She was sweet, warm and knowledgeable about their wines and made for good interaction. I think we tried about 7 wines and this is rare when I say that I enjoyed every one of them. I ended up buying 3 different bottles which is the most I have ever bought at a single winery and am kicking myself as I should have bought a couple more. They always make great gifts or party welcomes. I think I've been to close to 25 wineries in the Napa area alone and this one has got to rank in my Top 5. I will be back for sure. read more

We had an amazing experience at Caymus! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the beautiful grounds and the welcoming atmosphere. They have a gorgeous glass-enclosed room with a bar where you can relax and enjoy wine by the glass. The bartenders were fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to explain the history of the Wagner family and their many different wine labels. Of course, the original Caymus Cabernet is their most popular, but we also really enjoyed learning about the Caymus-Suisun wines. The wine, service, and setting were all wonderful. We absolutely loved our visit and will definitely be back! Try their SUISUN wine it's fabulous. read more

Caymus will FOREVER be on our list of stops in wine country. Today was our third visit to Caymus and they always deliver. Their hospitality is second to none and it goes without saying that the wine is amazing. Every glass gives you something to enjoy. hubs and I are both veterans and are treated like royalty here. I could go on and on telling you about each and every experience but I suggest you make a trip and see for yourself. Luis hosted us while we were there and cemented our allegiance to Caymus for life! read more

We have been to Caymus a couple of times wine tasting. Their winery has several tasting g areas, inside and out. They do not rush you. The Sea Sun is a good Pinot for every day drinking.

This is our 2nd visit to the renovated facility. Reservations as always are hard to come by so it is awesome that they have a bar where you can order by the glass and lounge or walk around the beautiful property. The wine bartender was really amazing. Unfortunately you can tip using a credit card so you need cash, which unfortunately I did not have. Chris at the wine shop is very knowledgeable, friendly and very polite. Even if you are like me and make last minute trip plans, this is a go to place to get a great glass of wine with beautiful scenery! read more

An absolute gem of a winery--graceful, inviting, and memorable in all the right ways. The path from the parking lot to the entrance feels like a quiet prelude to relaxation, lined with lounge chairs tucked beneath charming, roofed garden alcoves. Each shaded nook invites you to pause, unwind, and take in the surrounding greenery before stepping inside. Our group of six adults and one very content 10-month-old (we called ahead to be sure he was welcome)--settled in effortlessly and were rewarded with an experience that felt both relaxed and refined. We chose the veranda, where the view opened onto a lush garden alive with movement. Between sips, we caught glimpses of hummingbirds darting like jewels, butterflies drifting lazily, and even the occasional chipmunk making a curious appearance. Our hostess guided us through the $50 tasting with warmth and expertise, bringing each of the five wines to life with just the right balance of knowledge and ease. Every pour impressed--distinct, expressive, and genuinely enjoyable. And the thoughtful touch of applying the tasting fee toward bottle purchases? That sealed the deal. Each couple left with at least two bottles in hand--a testament to both the quality of the wine and the smart, guest-friendly approach. Inside, a wall of glass reveals rows upon rows of barrels stretching into the distance, a quiet reminder of the craftsmanship behind every glass. You can wander through this space via the gift shop, adding another layer to the experience. A place that manages to feel both elevated and welcoming--I'd return without hesitation. I highly recommend this winery. read more

It was our first time visiting, and surely won't be our last. We visited on a Thursday, which was nice without the weekend crowds but the best part is the gorgeous garden! We were seated in a nice alcove with a living wall. It was a bit chilly for a late spring/early summer day but I really appreciated that they had blankets for us too! A really nice touch. The space feels very inviting, like a luxurious backyard garden! Steve took great care of us, very nice gentleman who went through the history of the vineyard and the family behind the tasty wines. The winery does not have food though, so it might be a good idea to eat before heading there if you're hungry. It was also a really nice touch that they gave us the wine glasses as a souvenir and applied the tasting fee towards a purchase (which is not hard since everything is so tasty!). Reminds me of what a Napa wine tasting experience used to be like many years ago! A wonderful afternoon experience but be sure to make a reservation ahead of time! read more

Every time I'm in Napa I stop by Caymus to get some Zins They are only available at the vineyard. I LOVE that they do this. This time I arrived shortly after opening at 9:30am Andrew approached me and I asked him some Questions about the single vineyard zins. He asked if I had time to do a little tasting and I enthusiastically said yes. It's kind of unbelievable a big commercial winery would even do this. Kudos to Andrew. I ended up buying 7 bottles and he even tossed in a deck of Caymus branded playing cards. Very cool. Of all the big wineries Caymus is the best. read more

This was a great time! This was our first stop of the day, and we were worried the rest of the day would disappoint. The atmosphere and scenery were beautiful. It was so relaxing. We sat outside with beautiful weather, and we tried 5 wines. They added an extra into our tasting for July 4th. It was an "Honor" bottle. Our educator was very sweet and knowledgeable! read more

I am so happy I decided to book a reservation at Caymus Vineyards. I have tried their wines back home and so when looking for where to go in Napa, I decided on this location. As with all the vineyards, the scenery is beautiful. However, this location also has an elevated elegance, which was just a beautiful way to spend an afternoon. Our server was amazing as she explained the history behind the location and the family who created the wines. All of the wines were absolutely delicious. This was one of the few places that I actually took a bottle home from. The barrel room is beautiful. We sat outside and the ambience was just amazing. Definitely recommend this is one of your stops when visiting Napa. read more

We stopped by Caymus Vineyards in Rutherford after visiting their Suisun location and were really glad we did! The property is absolutely beautiful. There's plenty of parking and both indoor and outdoor tasting areas, which gives you some nice flexibility depending on the weather. We didn't have a reservation, but that wasn't an issue. We went to the bar area, ordered a couple of glasses and found a cozy spot inside to enjoy them. The pours were generous, and the wine was delicious. It's a great option if you're just passing through and want to take in the grounds without committing to a full tasting. Bonus points for the free water available--it's a small touch, but appreciated. I'm definitely planning to come back for a full tasting experience next time. Highly recommend stopping by, even just for a glass! read more

Review for Caymus - Rutherford Location I'm still in disbelief at how disappointing our experience was at this location. Our original reservation was for the Suisun location, but due to a fire there, our tasting was moved to Rutherford. We didn't anticipate how much farther this drive would be compared to Suisun City, which forced us to rearrange our entire day -- including our other vineyard tastings and lunch plans -- to the Rutherford/St. Helena area. On top of that, heavy traffic and an accident caused a 30-minute delay. Out of courtesy, I called ahead to let them know, and the woman I spoke to assured me it would be fine and that our tasting would simply be shortened. I appreciated that understanding -- until we arrived. Upon walking in (yes, 30 minutes late as discussed), the hostess coldly informed us that our reservation had been cancelled. She showed zero empathy, didn't care what I explained, and offered no alternatives. She simply said, "Sorry, too bad," and suggested we go buy wine at the bar instead. At a place like Caymus, I expected at least an attempt to accommodate us or reschedule. The dismissiveness was one of the worst customer service experiences I've had at a winery. The only reason I'm leaving two stars instead of one is for the bartender, who treated us kindly and with respect. Otherwise, we would never consider returning to this location, nor would we recommend it to others. Extremely disappointing. read more

This place is a must try spot in a town full of amazing spots. Their hospitality is unmatched and the garden area makes you feel like you're in a small town outside Italy or France. Our host, Michell, kept the tasting fun and light with factoids about the winery and the family. I love how they always bring something out that seems like it's a secret and nobody else is trying it. We went home with a few bottles of some early wines that are only available at that winery so their pitch worked. I'm not mad at it. Thank you Caymus for always making our experience unforgettable. read more

We had an incredible wine tasting experience at Caymus Vineyards! The beautiful setting, welcoming atmosphere, and exceptional wines made our visit truly memorable. Our wine expert, Ezekiel "EZ," was the highlight of the experience--knowledgeable, personable, very funny, and genuinely passionate about the wines and vines. He made the tasting both informative and relaxed, answering all of our questions and guiding us through each pour without ever making us feel rushed. EZ's warm hospitality elevated the entire visit and made us feel welcome. We highly recommend visiting Caymus Vineyards and asking for EZ--you'll be in excellent hands! read more

The place itself is nice, but the staff's snooty, pretentious behavior was not so great. Why? We had an awful experience here. My friend, a monthly visitor, was treated poorly. We had reserved a time for their barrel room. They bumped her reservation to the next day without informing her of the change. They either overbooked their day or someone slipped them some cash to take our reservation. We were not tourists who flew in for a week to just come back the next day. We were on a single-day excursion. What made matters worse was that our friend, who was furious at this point, was receiving responses that they didn't even care that she was furious. The manager brushed her off in the same manner. They wanted us to sit at the bar. They also offered us to sit in the lobby. What is the point? We had reserved the barrel room. That isn't a compromise. The bar and the lobby have zero vibes for people who drove over an hour to experience. Not sure why places think that they can treat people this way. Huge thumbs down. read more

Tracy was incredible! She was so incredibly knowledgeable, made us feel special and her attention to detail was impeccable. Our favorite is still the flagship Caymus Cab and Special Edition. But it was so fun to try a little bit from all of their brands! Especially the SavBlanc as it was so crisp and refreshing! Definitely going to add that to our rotation. The whole tasting room is exquisite, clean and so dreamy. It was lovely being indoors during the cold winter day and a new experience at Caymus. We will definitely be back! read more

Such a wonderful experience. I made reservations in advance for a party of 18. Everything was handled wonderfully. We had outdoor seating in a private corner outside. We enjoyed the wines that were served and half of my group ended up making purchases. Our host even gave us an extra pout because it was my sister's birthday. The only thing that would make the experience better was if they were licensed to serve light food. Even just cheese and crackers would be great. But I understand that's not part of every winery's business model. Overall a great experience. read more

If there's one vineyard you need to go to it's Caymus. Of course, one of the best vineyards around and has a great name, but there's more to it It was the only vineyard that didn't not pressure you into buying wine or joining a wine club And as long as you bought a bottle, your tasting was at no charge, which was not the case we had as many. Bill our wine expert was more than just a person who explained Caymus and wine making to us, but he explained the history surrounding the area and how different areas started. All in all it was very informative about the history dating back 100 years on how things started. And of course he had a bunch of stories of the original owners that he shared with us read more

Beautiful grounds and amazing service at Caymus Rutherford. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather, and our party was seated outside in the Redwood Gardens. We were told by our host that due to the upcoming rain all the outdoor furniture would be put away until next season and tastings would be indoors. We were given a history of the winery and an overview of each wine. Wine tastings are $50 per person, however, the fee is waived with the purchase of a bottle comparable to the price of your tasting. We all enjoyed our experience and the wines! read more

I've always wanted to visit Caymus for a tasting, as it's one of my favorite wines. It took six visits to Napa Valley to finally make an appointment, and I'm glad the winery was able to accommodate me and my boyfriend. The tasting room is on the ground with a beautiful garden. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by their friendly staff and taken to a tasting area where rows of wine barrels lined up. We got to taste five different wines from the Caymus family, and the staff shared the history of each wine. Our favorites were their 50th anniversary Cabernet and Zinfandel, so we decided to ship some home. I'm so glad we had an opportunity to visit and taste Caymus wines, and we will be back. read more

I love Caymus wines. Doing a Caymus tasting was a no brainer during my trip to Napa. Unfortunately, they were sold out when I first looked, however, after a quick call they managed to find a spot thanks to a late cancelation. So happy they could fit me in, however, I still had high expectations. Those expectations, well, were met+! You're greeted with a very nice kept sake glass, a bottle of Fiji water, and the list of wines you'll be tasting. It is almost a private tasting as you get seated in your own section of a larger room and provided a tasting guide who basically only oversees a table or two. You'll get your money's worth on the tasting straight-up, especially with a sample of reserve on the list, but why not convert that tasting cash directly into a bottle (or two). That right there is a win-win in my book. read more
