    Expectations surpassed! This is a must see experience when in Napa. We did a group tour and hosted event for 30 people. The staff couldn't have been more wonderful. Mike and Adam were engaging as they played out the history of the winery and told entertaining stories while we tasted the most delicious wines. Our event coordinator was on point! Amy Scholz went above and beyond to make this event extra special! She was professional and nailed the look and feel we were looking for. Great and responsive communication. The food was amazing and the barrel room was decorated to perfection! Highly recommend for your next event. Our entire party was impressed beyond compare and yours will be too!

    We were so fortunate to have found the vineyard Golf-cart tour here at Chimney Rock and to have Josh as our host! Cruising around the vineyard was so magical and the wines were exquisite. The wildlife was inspiring, especially the birds and the turtles, and I loved the dedication to sustainability with their "Deep Green" mentality. Getting a visit from the winery Husky dog at the end was the cherry on top! Great job Chimney Rock!

    Veraison!

    I've long wanted to visit Chimney Rock. It's not the most "fun" or innovative tour -- the tasting takes place in the barrel room. However, the caliber of the wines speak for themselves. These are some of the finest Napa cabs I've ever had in 20+ years of visiting Napa Valley. Every wine is complex, expensive, marvelous, eyes back in head type of good. Chimney Rock is legacy Napa -- been around forever -- and the quality (and price) of the wines poured here show. Not cheap, but really a special experience. Just fantastic hospitality as well, I was really impressed by the wines. Definitely in the top 3 of wine quality I've experienced in Napa -- and there are a lot of top notch wineries in the valley! If you're a real wine snob and appreciate the finest wines served in Napa, check out Chimney Rock and enjoy. Can't wait to visit again. Thumbs up.

    Joshua was great! Very knowledgeable on wines and the Napa area. He offered us 2 extra tastings that wasn't on the list and opened a new Ganymede 2018 bottle for us to compare with the 2014 bottle. The vibe was a mix of elegant, peaceful, and scenic!

    Julian was FANTASTIC! Our tasting experience at Chimney Rock was nothing short of amazing. We cannot wait to be back again.

    We were members here before moving back to Asia, and their service and wine were always top-notch. The staff was always super friendly, and our server today, Talia, was no exception. She was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. It's rare to find wineries that are kid-friendly these days, but Talia was so sweet that she even offered them water in the wine glasses, making them feel like they were part of the tasting! Thanks a bunch! Definitely did not disappoint, still one of our favorite in Napa.

    We've been to Napa many times, and I'm sad to say this is by far the worst tasting experience I've ever had. It's too bad, because I really liked the wine but wouldn't have considered buying any after the taste of terroir with Ian. It started off with him suggesting we do our seated tasting standing at the bar instead. He was multi-tasking...excusing himself constantly for several minutes at a time before we even got started and throughout the tasting. He poured the first 2 glasses and told us to guess the wine as he scurried off. I left the 60 minute, $70 per person tasting having learned nothing more about their wines, history, process, etc. Unfortunately, the only facts that were shared by Ian were his political views. Incredibly disappointing experience.

    Such an amazing experience with Julian today! He went above and beyond during our tasting and took us on a great tour of the vineyards. Wines were delicious. Edited to add - we have since been to a few other vineyards and Chimney Rock was definitely our favorite of the day! We felt we got the best overall experience and wine education here.

    1st visit there & found it to be quite pleasant. It may not have the reputation of Stags Leap nor the massive cave in Jarvis, but it has its inherent architectural charms. The outdoor tasting area behind the main building was gorgeous, lined with comfy lounge chairs with overhead umbrellas to protect guests from the sun. There was also a patio seating area but with very limited overhead shades. The water fountain in the center of the concourse was quite soothing & zen. It was a scorching day so our tasting was done inside an AC warehouse. The wall was adorned with prob over 100 empty French oak barrels, perfectly stacked Bristol fashion. The interior was quite spacious, you can fit 10 tables 6 feet apart and still have enough room for intoxicated guests to dance. Its prob a good venu for a small to mid size wedding reception. We are not wine connoisseurs so will not make any judgements. For some reasons we preferred the 2017 South Hill & the 2016 Arrowhead over the other more celebrated vintage. We found them to be more light & refreshing.

Everyone having wine chose the Signature Flight, which included one white and three reds. I appreciated the option to substitute a Sauvignon Blanc for the Chardonnay, a nice personal touch. Each wine was distinctive, balanced, and delicious in its own way. You could really tell the care and craftsmanship behind every pour. What really stood out was the hospitality. Our host was not only incredibly thoughtful but impressively knowledgeable. She explained where each wine's grapes were grown, described the flavor profiles we could expect, and added insights into how the terroir influenced the wine -- all without it ever feeling too technical or over our heads. Even better, our designated driver was offered iced tea, lemonade, or an Arnold Palmer, which I really appreciated. It's always a plus when tasting rooms consider the full group's experience, not just the drinkers. The vibe was so warm and relaxing, we ended up staying for over two hours. It felt less like a stop and more like a true experience. Definitely one of the highlights of our time in downtown Napa.

But dog friendly. Quality/Quantity - I had a hard time with the website making my appointment, it's a user issue as I am just not tech savvy. So I called and someone actually answered the phone and made my appointment for me, THANK you! We arrived 15 mins early, so we hung out in the lobby reading all the history, etc. Then Skip took us to the best view overlooking the vineyard for our tasting; see pictures! We sampled almost ALL the reds! All of which were good. See pictures. I like the fact that we did side by side tastings of many of his wines. My favorites were the 2022 Primitivo and 2021 Malbec, which we bought a few bottles of. Ambiance - Secluded private winery. Close to main Downtown Napa, but far enough away for privacy and a feeling of being far away. Appointment only, so very private and customer focused. Typically no more than 3 parties at a time. Today was considered a very busy day as there were 4 parties including us, lol. Gated private estate. 200 acres. Plenty of parking, especially since hosting only 3 guests at a time. Events - See their website. Well behaved dogs are allowed outdoors. Service - Skip is a history buff and we both talked for hours... After leaving, well really the next day (LOL), I realized that our tasting was supposed to be only 60 minutes. I guess because we got along so well, we stayed until closing! And he gave me a glass with a generous splash and let us walk the property alone after they left! So welcoming and trusting. Price - Depends on which tasting and what you buy; see their website for prices. Tastings range from $50 to $100 per person. One free designated driver allowed. Tasting fees waived with wine equivalent purchases. Hike tours $75 per person ($60 for club members). See their website for more information.

Shortly after, her husband (and the winery's owner) Adam walks up with their daughter and asks us how we're doing. We continue to be starstruck. Service was wonderful. Seating was comfy. The views weren't the best (we were drinking on the sidewalk and there's a parklet too.) The 5 wines for $29 was not bad, but the size of the pours was lacking. The first pour was the smallest and then slowly they seemed to give us more (maybe they heard me!) Honestly, the pricier wines tasted better. I wish our wine tasting could've been free if we bought two bottles or something--I would've done that! Cute merch and store with goodies inside. Bathroom is clean. Would be back!
