    Tasting bar
    Steve W.

    If you're coming to Etude, they specialize in Pinot Noir and Cabernet primarily. You will not see a Merlot or Sauvignon Blanc on the list. We had the $60 wine tasting, which does not come with a charcuterie board. They do have some charcuterie items on their menu which you can purchase separately. $60 gets you a private table on the lawn or under an outside pergola. Walk-ins can head to the bar inside. In the heat of the summer, it's a little uncomfortable in their outside seating area and there's very little seating inside (7 spots only). We opted for inside. Sean was our wine guide, he was highly informative and entertaining concerning the wines he poured for us. Inside the gift shop there's not much in the way of merchandise, but you can buy some older vintages of wine and they do have a 50% off section. We had a great visit and even got a couple of pours that were not on the tasting menu. Informative photos included.

    Property is beautiful. Staff is wonderful. Thank you David and Sylvia for an amazing experience. David's wine descriptions were spot-on and was an amazing host. Sylvia helped my shy dog with an exposure therapy walk . Their white sparkling wine, their Napa Cab, and their Late Harvest Sauv Blanc (but there's 11 bottles left in existence so go fast) were great! :)

    The Service We came here with a large group of 17 people. They were at first hesitant to take a group larger than 12 but once they accepted our reservation everything was very smooth and accommodating. As a large group from far away we arrived in batches - those that arrived early were welcomed inside with water and got to hang out to wait for the rest of the group. They were also kind about waiting for a car that was late for our group and we started 10 minutes late for them. The Location We were setup outside on the beautiful groups at tables of 4 all clustered together with large white square umbrellas. It was gorgeous with the ivy climbing up their lovely production building and the main winery building off to the side. The wines and tasting The staff were wonderful, pouring and explaining each wine, the region, and explaining general wine information to our group that had novice and seasoned wine tasters. The wines were lovely - the rose refreshing, the first pinot noir a bit acidic and strong, the second pinot noir very very tasty (we got 2 bottles), and the final cab sauv was a great round out to the tasting. Overall great winery, very beautiful, friendly knowledgeable staff, and tasty wines. Cant get much better for group.

    I'd recommend this for its beautiful property but not for the service. We had just come from Bouchaine down the road and had had the most amazing experience with the service and that was at the lowest tier. The wine was good and while our pourer was nice, she did not create an experience for us, which we look for when we go out to Napa. Otherwise, we could've gotten a nice property and good wine here in the Santa Cruz mountains/Los Gatos/Saratoga area near where we're from.

    Beautiful winery! The inside tasting room has vaulted ceilings and very comfortable sitting area. They are currently remodeling the outdoor patio area and we can't wait to see it completed. Wines are fantastic and they have an industry wine club!!! How awesome is that. Yes, we will return they have great magnums!

    Etude was such a lovely spot for a wine tasting! It's a smaller vineyard, but I actually think I prefer that, as it was a more personal touch from the people we interacted with to the story of all the different wines we tried. We sat outside, and the view of the vineyards made it feel so peaceful and relaxing. The staff was friendly and helpful, making sure we had a great experience without being over the top. I especially loved their Pinot Noir-- smooth, flavorful, and some of the best I've had. The outdoor setting and laid-back vibe made it the perfect place to slow down and enjoy a beautiful day. I'd definitely come back for another visit!

    We had never been to Etude wines before but we left impressed and a little tipsy. When I saw an event listing for their Blanc de Noir release party on Wine Country This Week ( a great one stop source for wine country events), I knew this was a party I didn't want to miss! We arrived right around 2 and were greeted by the friendly staff and given a glass of their newly released sparkler and it was spectacular. Dry and bright with lemon mousse and very light toast. They had put out a spread of charcuterie but first stop was the Oyster bar. They were shucking medium Vancouver Miyagis and wow, just wow. They were creamy, sweet and lightly briny, perfect for the sparkling wine. We found a table and friendly servers came by with more treats including cucumber sandwiches (English high tea style, crust less with cream cheese, mushroom empanadas, veg cups with green goddess dressing and super tasty shrimp ceviche on tortillas. We ate, drank and were merry. We even got to try their Rose', 2 Pinots (Heritage was my fave) and their kicking Cab. We thought we were done but then the desserts came out, blackberry mini cheesecakes and two flavors of macaroons. Every single member of the staff was friendly, fun and helpful. This is definitely going to be an annual event for us. See you there next year.

    We got a tasting reservation for 3:45 pm, which I soon realized was a little odd since they close at 4pm. So when we arrived the place was empty. Their grounds are quite nice with a few vines and a nice courtyard for outdoor tastings. It was a little chilly so we opted to have our tasting indoors. The lady who served us (can't remember her name) was VERY knowledgeable about wines, regions, growing, soils, etc. She really gave us quite the education. Maybe a little too much information because at some point we just wanted to enjoy the wine and chat among ourselves. Their wines are mostly pinots and they are very good. They have snacks that you can purchase separately with your tasting. We had some black truffle potato chips and OMG they are addicting. I bought 2 more bags to bring home. Overall we enjoyed ourselves, but didn't purchase much since their wines are kinda pricey.

    What a beautiful winery and amazing service! Angel and another wonderful man (which I am forgetting the name) was our servers. They were generous, kind and extremely thorough about the wines. Our children played in the beautiful/serene area, and the adults enjoyed chatting. It was a perfect day! There are also snacks that you can buy, including truffle fries. The winery is exquisite and extremely modern and clean! High recommend :)

    OMG!!!! In a Napa world of Cabernets, you have this Diamond specializing in Pinots!!! Where do I start? So, the service is AMAZING! James helped us this time; I truly wish I could take him home and make him my BFF. He had an unparalleled knowledge of the Napa growing region and a knack for explaining the nuances of the wines. The wine selection: what can I say? Superlatives are inadequate when describing the Etude wine selections. What made me fall in love with the Pinots is the versatility. A Pinot can be paired with a red meat & fish with equal enjoyment. Etude Pintos take excellence to a whole different level. They exemplify what Pinots are supposed to be. AND, now the Cabs - wonderful in the nose and magic on the pallet. I wish I could go every day. Do I recommend it? Absolutely! We are proud members.

    Loved this winery! Our server was so sweet and informative. The wines were all delicious. Both indoors and outdoors had perfect seating. If I were a local I would definitely join their club.

    (9/18/22 Visit) We had a lovely wine tasting experience at Etude. I had not heard of them before so was excited for the visit. Our hostess was wonderful, I wish I remembered her name. She was so friendly, gave us the background on the wines and answered our questions. The pace of the tasting was well planned. I usually drink Pinot Noir and they had 3 on the Collectors Tasting Menu. They asked if we wanted them to pour the Pinot Noir wines individually to taste one by one, or all 3 at once to compare. We went with all 3 at once and they marked the glasses for reference. I really enjoyed them all. I don't really drink white wine but I loved their 2020 Pinot Gris. Our group bought a couple bottles of it. I'll definitely be looking for their wine back at home too. All of the staff were nice and attentive.

    We were excited to check out Etude due to enjoying other Pinot Noirs from the Carneros region. We made reservations ahead of time and were seated immediately upon checking in. Our host was nice and provided a lot of education but also stayed and talked A LOT. Usually I appreciate when they tell you about the wine and let you then sample on your own- we were given our first sample but then our hostess stayed a good 5-10 minutes listening to education (which was interesting but would have appreciated breaking up some of that stuff), she also started repeating stuff and then our wine was warmer when we wanted to try it. There were maybe 4 tables outside with guests and at least 10 tables inside that were empty. The group next to us were given multiple extra tastings. We didn't love any of our Pinot Noirs and wanted to try a different region since we like to leave with at least one bottle from each winery. Our server said they were "too busy" (not sure how especially with all the empty tables and time she spent with us, we were also under our 60 minute "time limit" that they set) and could not offer us any more. However, if we wanted to join the wine club then we could get an extra pour. So...do you or do you not have time / open wine? Also, we explained that we do not live in a state where their wine club ships so we couldn't even join. She said instead we could leave with 3 bottles at 10% off- I don't often buy expensive wine without even sampling it. The wine we tried was fine but nothing that stood out. This was by far our most awkward experience and definitely stands out from the trip but not in a positive way- this would be the only winery from our trip that I would not revisit. I know the tastings include a set amount but I have never been to a winery that doesn't even offer an additional pour.

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.

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.

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.

There's not a lot of great matcha places in all of 707 (Benicia, Vallejo, Fairfield, etc) and this experience had to be the most expensive and least inviting..with the least flavoring. It was straight milk with a dash of matcha. I asked for caramel and I taste nothing.
