I've booked a tour and tasting of this wonderful castle experience. A lot of wineries up tastings,…read morebut they don't really allow you to tour the facility. This tour took you into the bowels of the castle where you got to see where they stored the wine and places where the wine was made. Believe it or not this is an unusual experience and I would say worth every minute of the tour. Having said that this is a castle that was brought over from Italy brick by brick. So the dungeon isn't a real dungeon and the tunnels aren't exactly tunnels from the 1600s but still you get the feeling of how the Winery operates. It's truly an experience that you won't have anywhere else in Napa. They also have a mini animal farm on the property that you see once you exit the facility. This is a nice little experience for the children who go on the tour. The gift shop is actually an excellent one with unusual items not normally found in the local gift shops. I purchased several of their aiders as gifts and everyone loves them. If you can order them online, I would do so they're very unusual and a great gift for wine lovers.

There are many other beautiful wineries to check out

To kick off day two of my birthday weekend in Calistoga, my wife and I decided to visit Romeo…read moreVineyards and Cellars. Romeo holds a special place in our hearts because we visited them a little over seven years ago. During that experience (which you can read about in my previous review - if interested), my wife and I had a grand experience with former Business Manager Emma, who administered the delicious tastings. Fast forward to the present, we looked forward to enjoying a glass of their finest red before finding lunch. Upon entering the walkway, we were enthusiastically greeted by an employee named John who quickly ushered us to a vacant table for two. My wife had a slight reaction to the beautiful flowers that were in full bloom. Out of the kindness of his heart, John provided my wife with a bottle of Pure Leaf tea that calmed her allergies. We told John that we were interested in enjoying a glass of red, in which he quickly ran off and returned with a bottle of 2009 Eugenia Cabernet Sauvignon. Upon doing the swirl and sniff test (sounds dirty doesn't it?), I knew that we were in for a treat. Since we were both in dire need of a meal, we sadly could not continue the party. However, we will make a return visit in the near future to enjoy a full tasting experience!

They're famous for their Chardonnay which shocked the world at the judgement of Paris 50 years ago.

Every wine throughout the tasting was of exceptional quality and John, who oversaw our tasting, was extremely personable and knowledgeable of the wines and history of the property. 10/10 and would recommend to everyone looking for a great experience to go with great wine.

They were already closed for the day, but Jarred was kind enough to let us have a seat in the patio and a few sips. He was incredible, and gave us a lovely experience for the few moments we spent there. I would use the word "cozy" to describe this location -- perfect for couples or groups to enjoy. It's got a very homey and intimate vibe, which I have to say I sometimes prefer to the large mansion/castle wineries. I definitely would love to return for the full tasting, although the detour was enough for me to purchase a bottle of their Rosé, and my friend was very close to buying the Muscat, both of which I recommend.

Even my boyfriend, who is not a wine drinker and was dreading the tasting, said he enjoyed 5/6 of the wines we tried (big win!)

Dirty Looks was a smooth and unexpectedly delicious find as well. We loved them all and purchased 7 bottles they were all so great! Will was such a great host--he really knows how to explain the wines while adding color and personality to the stories behind them. He made the tasting even more enjoyable! We've now been to both their Paso Robles and Calistoga locations, and both are super cool, with incredibly fun decor and settings. Tank Garage is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something a little different, playful, and delicious!

Cohn, Judd's Hill, and Clos Pegase. We decided it was finally time to visit Girard, and I'm so glad we did! The winery is beautiful, and we chose to enjoy our tasting on the gorgeous outdoor porch. It was such a relaxing setting with comfortable seating and a wonderful wine country atmosphere. That said, the interior is just as inviting--modern, elegant, and a place you could easily spend an afternoon. Diane took care of us during our tasting, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was knowledgeable, welcoming, and generous with her pours. Honestly, I couldn't even pick a favorite wine because every one she poured was delicious. She made the tasting fun, informative, and never rushed. We also ordered the cheese board, and it paired perfectly with the wines. It had a wonderful assortment of cheeses and accompaniments, and every bite complemented the tasting beautifully. If you're looking for a relaxed, welcoming winery with excellent wines, beautiful surroundings, and outstanding hospitality, I highly recommend Girard Winery. We'll definitely be back!

The tasting cost $40 for 6 pours, starting with a rose and ending with a Cabernet Sauvignon. I am not very fond of reds but all the ones that were on the tasting menu that day were very good. The rose was my favorite. I was talking to the owner and he mentioned that he prefers to be out making wine instead of pouring and I can see that. Also, the pours were very tiny. There was not much information shared about the wine etc, he left the bottle with the information side turned towards you to read up on your own. The place itself is beautiful and it used to be a hardware store. It's right next to the city hall and across the street from the police station. There is street parking as well as a public parking lot next to the police station. The place is dog friendly and the owner bought out a bowl of water for my baby. I didn't buy anything but I would visit again.
