Davis Estates was almost too good to be true. I took interest in visiting after reading a great review from a blog that listed it as thee best Silverado Trail Winery, which is such a huge compliment. (https://whimsysoul.com/silverado-trail-wineries/) I can't comment on the wine per say as I don't drink alcohol. However, as for service, setting, and scenery I have a few notes. Service - I must say they are top tier. Me and my partner were hosting friends from Washington, D.C. and our reservation was for a party of 5. Davis Estates was kind enough to make a confirmation call 24hours in advance, but silly me still got the reservation times confused. We arrived 30 minutes late, but Davis Estates was very understanding and still accommodated us. We were served by Garrett Anderson, who is also the gentleman I booked the reservation with. Garrett had incomparable firsthand, lifelong knowledge about the wine industry having grown up in Napa. We appreciated his fun and funny demeanor, and enjoyed having him as our guide. Setting - The setting was stellar. We sat at a large bar height wooden table just outside the venue on a shaded deck. We all felt the roominess of the table was most comfortable as at some tastings, the smaller bistro tables can get overcrowded with glasses, food etc. The menu's were personalized with each of our names. Although I hadn't tasted wine, I did have a few bites of the food pairings and I was ready to ask the chef his recipes! Everything was so tasty and you could tell the food was prepared with care. Not all wine tastings are accompanied by such delicious food pairings so this was certainly a happy surprise. As for adhering to COVID protocol, Davis Estates did a tremendous job. We only interacted with Garrett and from my view all tasting settings were more than regulation distance apart. There weren't many people on site either which also reassured us that Davis Estates valued protocol over everything. Scenery - By far, the best part of this winery. It's almost like you're not in the U.S. The ambience of the winery was such a compliment to the tranquility of the vineyard we overlooked from our table. There was no bustling, no loud talking. It was quiet and calm and it was much appreciated. Our visit was certainly a much needed retreat. We thank Garrett, our chef Mark Caldwell, and everyone else at Davis Estates for such a charmed experience. Visit date: 7/25/20 read more

Top notch - wine is delicious and food pairing perfection. Stumbled upon this estate, and when telling everyone where we visited was highly impressed. It was meant to be! read more

This was my first ever wine tasting, first time in California and wow was I impressed. We were even more impressed when our second tasting of the day (at a VERY well known place) was absolutely horrible. This place is pretty new as far as Napa wineries go but you can tell they spent a lot of time and thought into the place and keeping it relevant to its previous history. The service was impeccable. We bought a membership and will be recommending this place to everyone. read more

We had a special tasting experience at Davis Estates. We were gifted the tour and tasting experience which included a tour of the beautiful cellar caves, the restored event barn and a seated tasting with food pairings in the stunning tasting room overlooking the terrace and the valley floor. Erin was a gracious and a low-key, but informative, host that made for a relaxed experience. We started with a Sauv Blanc for the walk, then a 2017 Cab barrel sample in the cave. Both were very good and the Cab has some very good potential. The facility and art work is first class, including a Monet, a couple of Picasso's and several Remington sculptures. The sampling included a Chard, a tasty Merlot (not normally one of my favs), a delicious and very drinkable Cab blend, the Zephyr, along with the 2016 Cab. We enjoyed the Zephyr the most. The chef was preparing the small bites in the beautiful open kitchen area. The short ribs were especially decadent. Overall it was a good experience (it should be for $100 per person) that would be a unique treat for someone special. Wines range from $42 for the Sauv Blanc to $100+ for most of the reds. They were sold out of all Pinots. read more

I have been up to Napa many times, as it is only a short drive away from San Francisco. I have been to dozens and dozens of wineries and I have to say, Davis Estates is something special. I went up with my family over the holidays and it was just lovely. We had a tour and tasting and we were blown away. Unreal grounds and caves. Great Wine. Complete Luxury. Such thoughtful and attentive staff. After our tasting, we then ventured out on the balcony for a picture or two while we enjoyed the sunshine and views. We even bought wine to take home and signed up the Wine Club!! I'm hooked and want to come all the time. (I am going back up this weekend to do the Food and Wine Pairing....CANNOT WAIT!!!!) Note- what's nice with Davis Estates is it is exclusive. They limit the number of guests that can visit in a day...which makes for a much more intimate experience. Make sure you make a reservation in advance! read more

Came here for our honeymoon and did a wine tasting with food pairing and tour. Sheree was our host and she was amazing. We had an amazing experience! The chefs food was delicious! We loved Sheree's knowledge and passion for the winery. We felt so welcome and couldn't be happier with the experience. Thank you so much for a wonderful memory. We will definitely be back. read more

One of my favorite wineries in the Napa valley. The food pairing is great. The beautiful wines and stunning view make for an amazing experience. Thank you Maddy for taking such good care of our group! read more

I don't normally leave negative reviews for any places , however this experience left me feeling inclined to do so. Stunning estate and great wine, however their wait staff accused us of being "over served" even though we were coherent and spread out on their patio couches ? If you're younger be aware that this place is less judgmental and farrrrrrrr more welcoming if you're older and white. Truly disappointed by the waitstaff that left a poor taste in our mouth. Go back but be aware you maybe received as a "mess" or "over-served" because of your age or if you make yourself feel comfortable...... read more

We had a great tasting experience on Friday at Davis. We booked a reservation about a week or so in advance and we did the food and wine pairing. We got seated on time and we had a quick tour around the tasting room. The views are incredible from the patio! We sat on a cozy couch for the tasting experience so it was super comfortable. The food was absolutely incredible and the wines were just as delicious. We ended up joining the club because we loved it all so much! Please do yourself a favor and go visit this new winery in Napa! read more

Marcela did a fantastic job! We were enthralled and fascinated with her knowledge of the estate. The wine and food pairings were excellent and the location was perfection! Highly recommend read more

Brandon Davis was our host. It was great learning about the history of the winery and how they survived one of the recent California fires. The wines were fantastic!!! Each wine was served with a food dish prepared by their on-site chef. It really helped to bring out the taste of the different wines. We enjoyed it so much, we ended up joining their wine club. So hopefully we will have many more similar experiences over the next several years. read more

Nestled in the north valley is a gem worth discovering. The food pairings are the focus, but the wine is equally impeccable, and the service was uniquely attentive. The view ain't bad either. read more

This is an amazing Winery. The poshest place I have ever been to in the Napa Valley. Went last weekend and were treated like family and royalty. Was given a private tour, went into the cave, and was given the opportunity to drink some fabulous wine with pairings made in their executive kitchen. The food prepared with each selection was amazing. Could have stayed there all day. The effort to put forth a fabulous product was not lost on me. The views were amazing. Davis Estates, this is how it is done! read more

I can't remember how I was referred to visit Davis, but I am over the moon that I was! I live and work in the Valley and I have visited this wineries more than any other last year. I went in today for what was probably my 5th visit and Holly (who has taken care of me before) treated my friends and me with so much love and warmth. I did it... I joined the wine club.... AND I AM STOKED!!!!! Their wines match their hospitality and food and ambience. i recommend Davis Estates as often as I can to my friends and my guest (customers) read more

Good wines and a beautiful setting. Extra attention to our experience earns two thumbs up. Note tastings with freshly prepared food pairings. read more

A must see in Napa! If I could rate 6 stars I would. It can be challenging to find a winery that has a quality chef, friendly staff, sweeping panoramic views, and amazing wines. Davis Estates has it all. As soon as you enter you can tell how much detail & time went into designing the property. They have an old restored barn, a room that can only be entered by finger print (wine club members only) and a original windmill on site. The food pairings were incredible It really pays off that they have a chef in house. A lot of wineries will give you just a cheese plate... at Davis you will get uniquely paired four course experience. There are many options for seating as well including a swinging bench outside, romantic fireplace, or near the bar next to the chef. Oh, and they made a cute personalized menu with my name on it-- Nice touch! I will defiantly be back! read more

Perfect wine tasting afternoon at Davis! Holly gave us a tour of the estate and walked us through our tasting pared with delicious bites to eat. The property and scenery can't be beat. We will be back for sure! read more

Very beautiful estate. Love the wines and foods pairing. Friendly staffs. Wines are pricey. Nicole is the best host.

This place was recommended by a guy at a winery in Yountville we just visited. We decided to visit there on our way to Frank Family. We arrived at the place, and there were no cars at the lot... we are the only customers out there on a sunny Tuesday afternoon around 2pm. We walked in... immediately we see a very small and confined room, which is very unexpected and uninviting.... A middle aged blonde lady immediately said to us: "Do you have a reservation?", "No, we thought we drop by to check out the winery. ", "Oh, you need to have a reservation!" silence... We apologized, "Sorry, we didn't know". "Well, I can check to see if we have any availability." We thought to ourselves, hmmm... interesting. There are zero cars at the parking lot... There is no one at the winery... and then she said, "Our minimum tasting fee is $60 per person." At this point, we are so discouraged by the unfriendliness of the greeting lady, even if the tasting is free, it started to be a question "is it worth our time?"... We looked at the giant closed double doors that supposedly lead to the tasting room. We asked, "Can we take a look at your tasting room?" "No, we reserve our facility to reserved customers only". "Ok, that's great for you! Have a wonderful day!" What a disaster visit! Don't know if this is even worth to come back with a reservation! Thank you, but no thank you with your attitude! There are plenty of awesome wineries to visit in Napa/Calistoga, and are friendly, happy to welcome new visitors and help getting us a reservation on a slow weekday afternoon. read more

The most complete and thoroughly enjoyable wine tasting & touring experience! The property is ridiculously gorgeous, casual & welcoming yet stunning & fabulous. Davis Estates uses every opportunity to showcase who they are and what they love without being pretentious and stiff. The staff welcomes you in like an old friend with a keen eye to detail that make you feel like a VIP. Their wines are rich and intriguing. You immediately want to sit & stay in the comfort of their space and enjoy bottle after bottle! You Must do the food pairing. The Chef is phenomenal!!! Cheers to Mike Davis and his staff for creating The Best wine tasting experience in Napa Valley!! read more

We attended a group lunch with wine pairings at Davis Estates last week and had such a lovely experience. The food was catered by Meadowood and was fresh and tasty. We started with a taste of sauvignon blanc while heading out on the impressive tour. For lunch we enjoyed the citrus and beet salad with viognier, the short ribs with cabernet sauvignon and the citrus black sesame tart with a late reserve chardonnay. Such a beautiful winery with top notch service! read more

This is by far my favorite place to taste in the valley. The staff is warm and inviting, the views are beautiful, ambiance is amazing, and the food pairings are spot on! Just yesterday, I tasted with my wife and our ambassador Holly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I recommend trying the food pairing because the chef absolutely kills it every time. read more

This place will blow you away! To start the architecture is amazingly beautiful and shows off an unmatchable view of the valley. We had an appointment for a food and wine pairing, I highly recommend this. The food was outstanding! The chef really dose a great job matching the dish with the wine and it was just about the best food we had all weekend in Napa. Was wishing I could have had a full meal. No matter your reason for being in Napa you do not want to miss this place! read more

Incredible experience! Kathleen was absolutely wonderful. Got a tour of the property and a wine and food pairing. Everything about this visit was friendly, warm, and welcoming. The wines were some of the best I've tasted in the valley. I can't wait to come back again! read more

Excellent experience. Holly H was an amazing host. So impressed with what Mike Davis has put together. They made us feel special from the minute we walked though the door until the minute we left. We will be back. read more

You should know that not even the most expensive tasting will get you a peek into the special room (sadly that's the reason why we paid for the $150 tasting but weren't allowed in.) The wines are very good (we joined the club) but for the tour I would recommend the wine and food pairing they do because they have a chef in house and the dining area is beautiful. The whole estate is beautiful! Not dog friendly (except for one area for club members) but decent shade if you have your pooch. read more

Great wines and view! Private tours and wine tasting during Porch FunRun and the exceed my expectation. Very nice lounge area.

WOW!! We had our first visit here on Valentine's Day 2015. We got extremely lucky and made an appointment for the 4 of us shortly before we showed up. We had no idea what to expect and we were truly blown away! We got SO lucky! It was a private tasting (a standard here) in their BEAUTIFULLY refurbished barn (seriously breath taking). The hospitality manager Christy was the sweetest most down to earth person and she was extremely knowledgable about EVERY aspect of wine. It was a private tasting and ALL the wines we tried were fabulous. We bought one of each! Currently they have a very limited tasting availability per day so book ahead of time! We really loved the personal experience they offered and appreciate their motivation to keep that vibe as a staple to their name. If you go to ANY winery while in the Napa valley this should be first on your list! It's fun to be part of a winery while they are still in their beginning stage! We can't wait to come back for many years to come and see this place evolve and grow. Thank you Christy and Davis Estates for an unforgettable time. We can't wait to return! read more
