A truly fabulous 5-star experience at Clos du Val Winery! We were warmly greeted by Ani--with a glass of rosé already in hand (such a perfect welcome!)--and then beautifully hosted by the fabulous Cynthia, who made our visit so special from start to finish. My daughter Chandra, her friend Chrissie, and I were celebrating an all-girls early birthday weekend (for both Chandra and me), and we couldn't have picked a better final stop. Clos du Val absolutely did not disappoint! Every wine was outstanding--from the crisp, refreshing Estate Sauvignon Blanc (the perfect summer pool wine!) to the delicious Malbec and elegant Yettalil. And of course, I couldn't resist taking home a magnum of the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon--simply exceptional. Not surprisingly, we left with a full case of wine and the happiest memories. A perfect ending to a beautiful Napa weekend--highly recommend! read more

A visually gorgeous winery with a smaller foot print, we came in for a morning tasting with Sarah. She was such a sweetheart and gave us such a history on the winery and the wines themselves. We did the classic tasting, starting with a white and going into 3 (or 4) more reds. While the white was ok, the reds really did stand out, especially the Pinot Noir and the last one on the tasting ($200 a bottle). The reds really are the star there and we got a generous pour of each. The dip that came with our tasting was a nice labneh like dip with fresh bread and persimmon. Property is smaller but gorgeous outside and in (sleek but not too cold and bland) and the restrooms were nice as well. Would love to come back in the warmer months to enjoy the patio. Great stop in and thank you Sarah for an awesome time! read more

I enjoyed relaxing in wine country especially with my boo. We had been to several other spots in the valley and mountains of Napa and Sonoma counties but clos du Val takes the cake. We loved the ambiance and the service. The establishment was first class all the way. We will definitely be back for more! read more

We walked in with no reservations hoping to enjoy a couple wine by the glass vs doing a tasting. Luckily it wasn't too busy so we got a high top by the window. Normally this is done outside, but it was raining, the patio area looks great and would definitely come back again to enjoy it. They have 6 options for wine by the glass ranging from $15-45 each. I enjoyed the Rose and the Cab Sauv was good too. Service was kind and friendly. Great experience overall! read more

I like this winery because of its size and ambiance. The property is well.kept and scenic. Their reservation system allows comfort during your visit with room for members and walk ins. The patio which is heated overlooks the Lil grapes growing in peace. The staff is attentive and aims to make ones visit enjoyable. Their understanding of the family business seems to he very good. The details in having your personalized visit ready is another fine touch. The wines also are some.of the better in the valley. This is a great place to enjoy a few hours in a nice relaxing environment away from some of the more hectic spots in the valley. Five stars. read more

Really beautiful estate. It feels like you're in an elegant living room space with an open backyard garden and view. I love the attention to detail and the fact that the guest name is printed on the tasting guide. The sourdough and pesto dip was a great addition to the tasting and just made our experience more enjoyable. Service was awesome. I lean more towards white wines than red wines, but I really enjoyed the red wines here. Would definitely come back here and recommend it to any travelers coming through Napa Valley! read more

Five shining stars for this winery in Napa! Recently opened my bottle of wine from Clos du Val & it brought me back to my day in Napa with one of the best experiences at this winery. This was one out of two stops we had and it blew us out of the water. From the service with an exception tasting by Favian to the grounds to the wine, everything was five stars. The place itself is beautiful and not terribly huge to walk around but quality over quantity, in terms of size, was what I had in mind for this spot. It was the perfect day with perfect weather and ordering wines to ship home was a breeze. I would definitely come back if I ever visit Napa again and now always keep an eye out for Clos du Val wines when I go wine shopping! read more

I had a fantastic experience at Clos du Val. I visited with my family and four small dogs--and I've never been to a winery that showed so much love to our fur babies. Clos du Val truly went above and beyond. We were all treated with such care and warmth. The wine--especially the Rosé--was the best I've tasted. I live in New York and stopped by during a trip back to Napa Valley. I expected a simple tasting, nothing more. But between the friendly staff (shoutout to Lupita!), the welcoming atmosphere, the educational touches, and of course, the incredible wine... I left as a new member. read more

Visited Clos du Val on a sunny Saturday afternoon during a weekend Napa getaway with my best friend. We didn't have a reservation, but the staff was accommodating and seated us right away around 2 p.m. We were given a lovely outdoor table shaded by an umbrella, with a peaceful view of the vineyards. The property is absolutely beautiful, modern and warm with tasteful decor that really enhances the overall experience. While we didn't do a full tasting, we ordered glasses of wine and relaxed. I ended up falling in love with their Sauvignon Blanc. It was crisp, bright, and just what I was craving. I loved it so much I bought a bottle to take home. Service was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Even without a tasting reservation, we felt completely taken care of. Would absolutely come back. Next time I'll plan ahead and do the full experience. read more

We had an amazing tasting on the 4th of July with a group of 8! Cynthia and Nikko were amazing and super knowledge about the winery story, property, and of courses wines. The Yettalil was by far my favorite and the snacks and bites were incredible. Our tasting was on the actual 4th of July and they let us stay way pat closing time! Highly recommend and will 1000% come again read more

First time in Napa. Beautiful vineyard and winery (both inside and outside). Our host/sommelier was very friendly and informative. She (Sarah) took her time to explain each bottle to us and made offered more to any wines we really enjoyed. Their cabernet franc was my favorite, it was my first red wine that ever tasted like that. You could really taste the fermentation and you could just leave it in your mouth to let your taste buds soak it up. Highly recommend for a more quiet but still immensely beautiful spot in Napa! read more

I cannot begin to tell you how much we enjoyed our tasting at Clos du Val. We were attending a wedding and only had a bit of free time. The groom, who's a member, made last-minute arrangements for us to have the Hirondelle House tasting as soon as they opened at 10 a.m. Favian was in a meeting, so Aaron hosted us. He was wonderful! He barely finished telling us about the history of CDV before we started peppering him with questions. We learned so much more than just the terrior; everything from cork to the Brix scale to... well, I can't even remember it all less than a week later. This is, however, a winery, and the five we tasted were wonderful. I loved the cabernet franc, and their '21 Yettalil which had just been named Best in Show at the 2024 Decanter World Wine Awards the previous day. Suffice to say we all became Cercle du Vin members. And, yes, we were able to visit with Favian. He's as gracious and fun as others have said. Despite getting their start in the early 70s and even participating in the 1976 Judgement of Paris, the venue is modern, yet very comfortable. I look forward to my next visit. read more

Clos du Val was truly such a highlight on our recent girls trip to Napa! The short version,: A+++, the service, estate, wine and overall experience was absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. The detailed version: From the moment we arrived, we had our own private table with a customized menu welcoming our party, and a line up, including tasting notes of the wines we would be trying. It's honestly all about the little details and they nailed it. I am so mad at myself, but I cannot recall our wine guru's name (I WILL remember and update accordingly), but he was the absolute best. He was a local gentlemen, who knew his stuff well and really made our overall experience so special. He paced our tasting perfectly, made the tasting relatable and even offered to be our photographer! The estate was gorgeous, the mixed and natural textures really complimented all the greenery and honestly it was such a vibe. They had this super cool photo op wall with a couch and it was just a beautiful place to enjoy some wine. Leading me to....the wine! I truly enjoyed all the wine I had. I am not a frequent wine drinker, I enjoy it, though I made not know all the details I can appreciate it. What I really enjoyed was learning more about their wines and having a lovely and diverse line up of various types. They bring out some lovely snacks to nosh on well tasting. We enjoyed a lovely whipped feta dip with crackers and fresh veggies. Our whole party ordered some wine to ship home and I look forward to opening that bottle! read more

Fantastic experience at Clos du Val! Ambiance was great, tasting room so cozy, and the charcuterie board was delicious as well. We did the retrospective decade tasting which was so fun and interesting - I had not tasted wine older than myself till this day lol If you have done wine tasting in the past you know the most important part of the experience is the host... well that's what made the whole experience stand out even more! Our host (Aaron Horwitz) was fun and friendly, super knowledgeable of all the wine on and off premises which made the whole tasting experience extra elevated. Would definitely visit again and recommend it to all Napa visitors. read more

We toured and visited many wineries during our search for the perfect wedding welcome reception venue. After visiting Clo du Val and chatting with Nico, we knew we found our place! We fell in love with the property and their wine. This past weekend we held our wedding welcome reception (6/6/25). Needless to say the event was extraordinary - friends and family loved the wine, the ambiance and most importantly the hospitality. Nico and staff are amazing. Nico made the process seamless and kept us in the loop throughout the entire time. Nico coordinated with Chef Gary who created an outstanding farm to table California fare. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

My wife and I had an opportunity to do a tasting at Clos du Val on a quiet November Wednesday afternoon. Since it was raining lightly, the tasting was indoors. The ambience of the winery is very nice, you're amongst the vineyards in this modern building. Our tasting consisted of 5 wines, one Sauvignon Blanc and four reds. The wines were all good, but we agreed that the Cabernet Franc was our favorite. We also had a delicious cheese platter with the tasting. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about their wine, including that it's a favorite in Asia since President Clinton served it to the President of South Korea. Great info! Definitely recommend Clos du Val! read more

Our last winery stop on our week-long stay in Napa was one of our favorites. Our experience at Clos Du Val was memorable not only for the excellent reds we enjoyed overlooking the grounds but because our guide, Melissa, made our time there special. Located on the south end of the Silverado Trail in Napa Valley, Clos Du Val was a winery on our list to visit due to its history connected to the Judgement of Paris in 1976 and their great wines (naturally). The tasting room has a modern design with a dark wooden interior and open-floor layout. The wide-glass paneled sliding doors open to the outdoor patio area that holds a fountain directly in front with the vineyards in the backdrop. There are further outdoor seating areas to the left and white with paths to walk past the rows of vines growing grapes. There's a cool sofa perched against one of the vine-covered buildings with a large double door that's great for taking pictures and selfies. Our flight tasting comprised the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Hirondelle Vineyard Estate | Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2019 Yettalil | Stag's Leap District Bordeaux Blend. Everything poured for the flights was exquisite, especially the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, my favorite. Additionally, we enjoyed a nice dip on which nosh while we sipped our wines. Melissa was our wine host and ensured we had a wonderful experience during our stay at Clos Du Val. She was personable and accommodating in her service and had great knowledge of the wines and history of the winery. She even brought out a bottle of the 2015 Hirondelle Vineyard Estate | Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon to compare the 2018 vintage originally on the flight list. Her engagement with us was part of why I decided to join the Cercel du Vin, even though I had already joined two other wineries that week. The wines that we enjoyed on-site I knew I wasn't going to find locally in South Florida, and the experience I had sealed my wanting to continue enjoying Clos Du Val in the future. read more

Favorite winery experience in Napa on my trip!! First of all, Favian is amazing and I would ask for him next time if we come back, hands down. He was knowledgable, friendly, engaging, charismatic, and he listened to us and modified the tasting based on what he heard. He is incredible and my whole group is Favian fans!!! This tasting was exactly what I envisioned for a Napa wine tasting. It was just our group at a nice table outside overlooking the vineyard. We started with a rose which I loved enough to ship one home. We tried like 5 different wines, including a super old one which was cool. I'm not a huge alcohol drinker, but I really appreciated Favian's explanations of the wines and comparing them to one another. We took a ton of photos on the property, and spent about 2.5 hours there. Would 100% recommend Clos du Val to anyone visiting Napa. read more

It was love at first sight. What a beautiful winery from the outside in. Drawn in by the Judgement of Paris fame and the Stags Leap District, the notoriety is justified with a library of vintage gems. Not a drop left in the tasting. Yettalil is exquisite in its soft complexity. The unique rosé warmed the glass with its peachy glow sourced from cab franc that is dedicated to that purpose. Each winery's background is shaped by the storyteller, and Aaron is a master at evoking its stoic history and humanity. As one of the remaining family owned wineries, it was easy to join the club. We look forward to many more visits. read more

My friend and I were treated like royalty at Clos du Val, thanks to the amazing hospitality extended to us by Rodrigo, our very knowledgeable and friendly server. We sat outdoors on their spacious patio, and tasted several wines, while learning all about the process of growing and making their delicious product. We were also served a tasty dip along with some homemade bread sticks that were the best we ever tasted...what a treat that was! As Napa Neighbors, it is such a bonus to enjoy these complimentary offerings in January, and to have the opportunity to learn about our friendly local wineries. Because of the delightful conversation we enjoyed with Rodrigo, we have put Clos du Val at the top of our list of favorites. Thank you so much, Rodrigo, and thank you, Clos du Val! read more

Known for their reds and love the rose and white options too. read more
