Go across the bridge and hook a left to the property/tasting room. Lori greeted us upon arrival was fantastic during our entire visit (we even brought our two kids). We were able to see how they bottled and packaged Chardonnay, met one of the wine makers, and then was led to a small tasting room (it was an AM tasting so it was still a little chilly out). Lori basically let us taste anything we wanted in their portfolio, giving us details and explanation of all of the wine lingo that growers and makers refer to. It was definitely an educational and fun tasting experience. Ended up leaving with 4 bottles (chardonnay, 2 pinots, cabernet sauv) and are now wine members. Besides Lori being a great host and the wines tasting awesome, the price point was far below what other wineries in Napa charge for these highly rated wines.

I've been to Napa many times and previously worked in the wine industry. This was in my top two…read morefavorite winery experiences. That being said, I never do tours, so this is based on my experiences with strictly tastings only. The property is a bit off the beaten path and you will likely lose cell service. However, the drive is beautiful and not incredibly far. Neyers is more of a boutique winery so do not expect the fantastic architecture you encounter at nearly Napa properties. The tastings are cheaper than they probably should be for the experience you get and the quality of the wines. Like most places, a tasting fee is waived with a bottle purchase. Reservations are required as tastings are done one group at a time. We tasted maybe eight different wines, some of them side by side so we could compare different grapes and styles. Our host was very informative and knowledgeable, teaching us more than any other winery I've encountered. We loved almost all of the wines and walked away with six bottles and a wine club membership in our group. I would highly recommend Neyers as a less pretentious and expensive winery but with equally fantastic (if not better) wines and a superb tasting experience.

The visits are pre-arranged and to the East of Rutherford in the Southern part of St Helena, about 25-30 minutes from the center of St Helena. A little out there off the beaten track, but nonetheless very nice. The only thing I am not real fond of is this steep tasting price of many of the vineyards, its seems like it is gauging the customer. But then again, it is my opinion. Without a doubt a beautiful winery and very nice wines, did I mention the view? Make it your next stop on your trip to the Napa Valley.

This was the only winery we insisted on sharing with the other two couples in our party. Laurel was our server and how awesome she was. I believe she may even be the front manager. The pours were very healthy! She quickly picked up on the tone of our party and jumped right in with a great sense of humor. She could hold her own! :) The wine, amazing. Do try the Moscato. It's not what you think, I promise. We bought a bottle after the tasting and walked down to the beautiful terrace with pizza ovens to enjoy the scenery. Laurel didn't push the wine club at all. We still bought a whole case and I'm still considering the club. It's reasonably priced. If you enjoy an occasional port, this one is for you! We had to include two bottles in our case.

Check out my photos, it speaks louder than my words :-) Take a stroll down to the Vineyard, Mr. Nick our host was so graciously tour us around. We love Encosta their Bordeaux style red wine, often purchased at Vintage Wine Merchants on Santana Row, in San Jose, I finally got to try their estate Gandona red and their amazing Chardonnay, Burgundian style, so lovely. You got to taste 4-5 wines, and if you decide to buy a few bottles to go, they may wave to fee depends on your purchase. $120 per person, you get 1 to 1.5 hours of the view for yourself, now that money can buy, worth every penny! Check out their Port too, and the lovely rose, when you arrive. This is 1 of my favorite visits ever in St. Helena, Napa Valley, and trust me I visit the valley here very often. Appointment only, we booked 6 weeks in advance for a weekend visit! Give yourself 80 minutes drive if you are coming from downtown Napa.

Call well in advance to see if any appointments are available. Gandona offers a unique setting above Lake Hennessey with unmatched visitas and beauty. Plus the winery itself is classic in its look, atmosphere, and the owners' use of reclaimed and repurposed wood and other materials. A quick tour preceeded our tasting and it was evident what a very special set of vineyards Gandona has as their own. Beautiful views abound at every turn in the paths! No wonder their wines are highlly sought after and their Cabernet Sauvignons are unmatched in the world of wine. Erin was a friendly, helpful, and amazingly knowledgeable host for our visit. Eventhough it was high season, we were not rushed and afforded a wonderful and relaxed tasting! The Gandona tasting room is set to take full advantage of the views and surroundings. The stone work alone is worth the visit. The Gandona Cabs are amazing, full-bodied, lushly layered wines and you can taste Pritchard Hill's influence along with the hand of famed winemaker Philippe Melka in the glass! If you are a fan of the best Cabs offered in the Napa Valley, be sure to include Gandona Estate in your visits! You will be treated to an amazing set of expereinces! Cheers!

She was incredibly warm, personable, and knowledgeable, and made us feel like we were visiting old friends rather than simply doing a wine tasting. Gale did a fantastic job explaining each of the wines, sharing the history of the winery, and giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the winemaking and harvesting process. You could really tell how passionate she is about the winery and the wines. We brought another couple of friends with us, and they enjoyed the experience just as much as we did. Gale's genuine hospitality and personal approach really made the day memorable. In fact, my wife and I enjoyed the experience so much that we decided to join the Goosecross wine club! That says a lot about how great our visit was. Thank you, Gale, for making our day so enjoyable. We're already looking forward to coming back and hopefully seeing you again!

We were a bit surprised how large of a group it was, as it was probably 12+ of us which for the price, made it a lot less intimate then some of the other 75$ tastings in the area. The grounds were very beautiful, from the huge garden, to the back bar tasting area, and going through the historical barn and the barrel area was cool. Our hostess was a sweet lady and really talked about the history well. At the end we sat down at the larger table and finished the tasting with one extra pour. The tasting was great and prices were quite fair but I do think I prefer the more private feel of a smaller tasting, with 2-4 people as at times our host stood on one side chatting to the large group and we really couldn't ask questions or hear what was going on the other side of the table. Would come back and did love their rose.

Going to the wine and facility, their juices are really good, they are medium plus in body including their Merlot, plenty of tannins and clearly a long living product. The place is small, it was raining so we couldn't explore the surroundings, but inside in the cave it's very cold and intimate, quite a unique tasting experience. After we finished we had a chat with David himself and few hours later he was helping me to take the car out of a ditch... Things like this makes you believe that we're still living in a good planet with good people in it!
