A true hidden gem in Napa! Don't let the generic office park location fool you. Laurie Rich is one of the great hosts in the valley. The LeBijou and "H" Block Cabernet Sauvignon are terrific and their Syrah and "Graciano" are well worth your time! read more

Flew back to SF to attend the yearly Lobster Feed and to see Laurie & Tink, the owners of Falcor. The long tables filled the cellar and were full of Lobster, Prawns, Sausage, Corn, Potatoes, Artichokes, Onions, and that fresh garlic to smear on the French bread. Their award wining wines were flowing and new friendships were made. The Falcor mascots (Bujou & Falcor) added to the fun. We never have a bad time when we go to one of their events. I especially miss living in SF and not being able to partake more in those. Thank goodness the flight is only 2 hours and I can go drink some great wines and have some belly laughs to go along. Thanks Falcor for another great party. read more

Man, I'm getting woozy! WINE: ---------------- I'm glad we found Falcor, which was the height of our Napa trip. What a great selection of tasting wines! And what STRONG wines those were! We had: 2012 Trousseau Gris, Russian River Valley (not for sale) A great opener. A crisp wine flavored with honeysuckle, pear and melon. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/falcor-winery-napa?select=8UFIsiF5nKMBv7zoaif6_A#iCqd09LvmsoxTSmb_sdSnw) 2008 Chardonnay, Los Carneros ($36) A gentle butterscotch flavor with a toasty oakiness. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/falcor-winery-napa?select=8UFIsiF5nKMBv7zoaif6_A#0XyZDIhhQpMAX2RYhEZWBQ) 2007 Bilancia, Napa Valley ($37) A blend of 48% Zinfandel, 26% Syrah, 21% Petit Sirah and 5% Charbono. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/falcor-winery-napa?select=8UFIsiF5nKMBv7zoaif6_A#_NT46HbId_uctnMnc4OLxg) 2006 Syrah, Napa Valley ($34) A strong wine with blackberry, wild plum and dried currants. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/falcor-winery-napa?select=8UFIsiF5nKMBv7zoaif6_A#yiwfDRfqbe419U7wODh9Yw) 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley ($65) A well-balanced wine that aged nicely! I enjoyed this one the most. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/falcor-winery-napa?select=8UFIsiF5nKMBv7zoaif6_A#4KOBaQTxDdnfh-UoFvjglQ) There's no tasting fee for wine club members (free to sign up!), and for all others it's $15/person, which is pretty reasonable given the quality of the wines. Additionally, Falcor waives one tasting for each bottle purchased. Their bottles are very reasonably priced as far as Napa wine goes. SERVICE: ---------------- Our host, Keith, was quite personable and passionate about the business. He gave us a tour of the facilities and showed us the destemmers, wine vats, bottling equipment and the rows of casks. There's nothing like finishing a tasting by getting a tour of the place where the wine was made! Since it was our first time to Napa, Keith gave us a winery and restaurant guide and recommended some restaurants and some other wineries. He talked about the history of the area and suggested that we take the scenic route (Silverado Trail) instead of the main highway. I was impressed by the level of personal service that Keith provided, and the fact that he wasn't afraid to recommend competitors. That goes to show the high level of confidence that Falcor has in the quality of their own wine! LOCATION: ---------------- Falcor is located at the back (furthest from the street) of a business park at Unit #115. You won't be tasting wine on the rolling hills of a vineyard, but many other wineries are located in business parks as well. Don't let their modest location dissuade you, as their wine is the real deal. We look forward to coming back for a wine-food pairing. Rumor has it that Keith is quite the cook too! read more

We had a great time at the lobster feed!! This was our second time at this event and it was another awesome experience. The amazing food, flowing wine and friendly environment made it perfect. It was fun chatting with new people and seeing familiar faces. Can't wait until next year! But I'm sure we will be by before then to pick up some more of their delicious wines! read more

The only reason I post is to save others from a cheap experience. We went to the lobster fest that was advertised as being in their wine CAVE...I walked in was so sad, I thought it was a joke. Such false advertising, they should have said in our warehouse. Such a joke for people to say world class, they are lying. They are in a warehouse, the had a little radio playing guns and roses. Crappy tables and chairs, it was really stupid, and low class. If they had any class at all would have had a small band playing, maybe some finger food, and not have pulled a bait and switch. Food was good but who goes just for the food. who would want to spend $139 to eat in a warehouse that was not even that clean. the work benches were littered with stuff, I would think they would have cleaned up more. All of those 5 stars and probably family friends. It has nothing compared to all the other wineries that actually have land and a beautiful operation, and grow their own grapes and an actual wine CAVE. We got ripped off. read more

I loved this place!! The wine wasn't really my thing, I prefer desert wines which is not their specialty but I still enjoyed everything here. We tasted with one of the owners (I'm so sorry I forgot her name!!) and she was amazing. Full of awesome info and she even helped with our next stops. You HAVE to try the chocolate sauce. Oh. My. God!! We bought a bottle. It was expensive but totally worth it!! ****Word of Caution**** While this vineyard is listed for the Sip California wine card they do not participate. They stated they had not intended to be on it this year. Despite that I definitely recommend hitting this place up. Totally worth the stop!! read more

We went to the tasting room in Sonoma plaza. We walked in at 7:02 even though most tasting rooms in wine alley close at 6. Jim, the owner happen to be behind the bar. I asked if he was open and he welcomed us with open arms. We continued to do a wine tasting with him for about an hour. He said he would stay open as long as we are happy, and we were. He served us chess and crackers as we sampled dozens of wine. We could not have been happier. The experience was like going to a close friend or relatives house and you can talk like you are old buddies. My wife and I are very excited to go to the vineyard one day and see the work that Jim so passionately describes. Thank you Jim and falcor for making our trip to Sonoma well worth it. Paul Tarasco. read more

Falcor Lives!! Falcor was a fantastic way to start off our wine tasting trip through the napa valley. Certainly located in the least likely place you would imagine a wine tasting place to reside. Its oddly situated in an almost vacant business center, just a block away from the DMV, along with an exterior portraying anything but a winery. We fortunately were pleasantly surprised to walk into an exceptional, cozy, secluded, classy atmosphere. Similar to the living and dining room of a fairly decent sized nice home. All equipped with two absolutely cute lab dogs named Thora and of course Falcor. Some might be taken back with the presence of dog's in a wine tasting room, however, being the dog lovers my friend and I both are, it was an added bonus. My friend and I were thankful enough to have been assisted this day with the wine tasting by the extremely friendly Stacy. She was an absolute pleasure and ball to be around and certainly added the already great tasting selection of wines offered. She also went over a little bit of History regarding the wines. For instance, Falcor got its name from the good classic movie "A Never Ending Story" Does anyone remember that great movie?? I certainly do...awe.. memories... We were also given a quick tour of the small establishment and which Stacy explained to us how they actually hand press there grapes in the barrels which explains why they of course only develop smaller batches.. good to know : ) The different varietals of wines we tried were fantastic and certainly equipped with more of a higher alcohol content which left us feelen quite good : ) We were also able to try one of there wine infused jams which was INCREDIBLE!! Which alone has me wishing I bought one aside from the wine. Oh I will certainly be making my way back to this loca. Despite the misleading location, this place is an absolute jem. Incredibly sincere, welcoming service, a fantastic selection of wines and a come to find out, incredibly classy, relaxed environment. read more

Always love visiting! The wine is great and the personal attention Laurie gives everyone is top notch. I became a member on my first visit a couple of years ago and it's always my first stop when I'm in the area. A hidden gem that is not to be missed. read more

My wife and I enjoyed our recent visit to Falor, tucked away in a corporate park near downtown Napa. Our server- who impressed us with his awesome memory by recognizing us from a trip to Dean & Deluca quite a few months ago- anticipates this area becoming a bustling wine community within a few years as other tasting rooms open. This is something to keep our eyes on. We tried a selection of five reds and whites while sitting at a long table in a spacious tasting room that overlooks the barrel room. Production is very small- just a few hundred cases of each varietal- and the winery also does custom crushes for independent growers/winemakers. I like how Falcor, unlike most wineries, releases their wines a few years after their vintage date. The idea is that, with this extended aging, the wines will be more structured and integrated. The complementary tasting began with a single-vineyard 2004 Chardonnay from Sonoma ($38) that had good structure and a delightful smoothness, but had overt butterscotch notes; drinking it reminded me of the butterscotch hard candies that I'd suck on growing up. The 2005 Zinfandel ($36) from Dry Creek Valley was my favorite among the wines I tried; it had brooding tannins, dark raspberry fruit and an enjoyable gravelly/scorched earth finish. The other reds (the 05 Sangiovese- $34, 03 Cabernet Sauvignon H Block- $65 and 02 le Bejou- $40, a Bordeaux blend) were decent, but forgettable. My personal preference- and I think this is true for most people-is to drink wines two to four years after their vintage year. While I respect Falcor's holding their wines back a few years before releasing them, I would have enjoyed the reds more when they were younger, with the exception of the Zinfandel. I'll enjoy the bottle I purchased and return next year to taste the new releases. read more

This place is really cute but different. It's in a business-like building with a nice fireplace and a dining room kind of setting when you have your tasting. The staff is totally awesome and chill. Falcor makes you feel like you're at a friend's house and you're going to eat dinner or something. You have your tasting with like 8 other people. Our crowd were real cool, from all different parts of the world, and just really nice and talkative. The wine pairing was awesome! You really get the feel of what's food items would be best with what wines. The food is delicious, especially the wine jelly chocolate. Totally different experience you would get from your typical wineries. Well, it isn't your typical winery. They buy grapes from other wineries to make their own, because they don't have the capital to buy their own land and grow grapes in Napa. You don't get to see the field of grapes or anything like that. I don't think that really matters as long as they're doing their job well though. P.S. They are slightly pushy about their membership and buying their wines. read more

Awesome wine and staff!

We came here for our first wine tasting experience. It could not have been more pleasant, fun, educational, inspiring and delicious. For my fiancée birthday they brought is ice cream and cake to blow out candles and paired with wine. The wine was consistently flowing and the price couldn't be beat. Brad was intelligent, informative and helpful. Recommend for everyone. read more

Went because of glowing reviews on yelp. The service was good, but they severely overcharge for large groups. There are plenty of wineries in napa that would have better view, better service, and more reasonable price. Make sure you double check the prices before going/ make a reservation! read more

What an amazing find!! Definitely not your typical Napa experience, which was quite refreshing! Zack was phenomenal- FUN, informative and gave us a tour of the facility even though we didn't have a reservation beforehand. Don't be offset by its location-- they wines are divine and very reasonably priced for the exquisite fruit they use. Solid tasting! Enjoy! read more

Tells you something when the owner of the business takes the time to fire back in an attempt to discredit your revenue. Maybe if she spent the time improving her service there wouldn't have been a negative review in the first place. Just saying. Needless to say, I'm not spending my money there again. Just one guy's opinion read more

Cute winery located close to the Meritage hotel in Napa. They are in a commerical business area, so it's a little off the beaten path. The owner seemed really nice/friendly, but it was packed when we went. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the wines that I tried (the Bon Jus was too dry and not sweet at all, the Chardonnay was too oaky tasting, and the 2002 or 2003 Cabernet was too strong tasting, and had a strong earthy flavor to it). However, if you like more aged wines, this is a good winery to check out. At least they have a large parking lot! read more

Amazing boutique winery. Went on a wine and food pairing event through Groupon. Never would of found the place as its not one of the main wineries in the area, though we were glad we did. I've never been a white wine drinker however the Chardonnay from here was one I definitely wanted more of. The food cooked and prepared on site by our guide Chay, was 5 star quality. At the end of the event, we ended up joining the wine club and walking out with 3 bottles of wine and wanting to come back for more of the delicious food they served. It was a fantastic experience, thank you! read more

Thank you to our host, Terrah for an amazing experience!! Terrah was really friendly and made our visit very exclusive in their tasting room. We made a reservation and was running a few minutes late and Terrah called to make sure we're OK in finding the place because it is a bit hidden. Turn on your GPS and you'll find this place, no problem. Our reservation included a pre-fixed flight of their reds and whites (5 choices) paired with 4 different kinds of cheese along with apricots and toasted garlic bread. Their goat cheese and brie was DELICIOUS where I had to ask for the brand and where it's from. I definitely recommend the cheese pairing. Overall experience was about an hour, and we didn't feel rushed at all since it was suppose to be a 1 hour limit. I recommend coming here as one of your wine tasting choices in Napa. Definitely make a reservation on their website because they are slowly becoming more exclusive. Come hear how the name Falcor came to place and who established it. They also do private dinner parties and events every quarter for their wine members. They told me they just had a lobster feast, and a mardi gras one coming soon? Now that's enticing! read more

This must be the hidden gem of the Napa Area. The folks there were the friendliest and most attentive of all the wineries i attended. I enjoyed the tasting so much that i have been thinking about my next visit since the moment we left. The Wines, LOVED THEM !!!! We went with friends who were already members but we will also be joining as members enjoying their wines directly. They have definitely earned space in my wine storage. read more

Such an intimate and friendly winery! Laurie is such an affable host who makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. Love her southern hospitality charm! Superb wines...have a hard time picking my favorite as there is not one I would not drink. Graciano, Syrah, Reserve Cab and Cab Franc just to name a few. If you're looking for a less crowded and more intimate venue for tasting, this is the place! Off the beaten path with incredible wines at reasonable price. Cheers! read more

Falcor is a hidden gem. The wine is amazing and the staff so welcoming. Especially Laurie- She is one of a kind. Try the Graciano and Tempranillo you won't be disappointed. read more

Found our way here on a treasure trail (groupon) We had to wait a long time for it to open up as everyone that worked there had stepped out to prepare for an event. Ended up at a hotel down the street called meritage (also some good wines) an hour later when we came back it was still not open yet, Not a great start... so we opened up some snacks and waited. It is out in a corporate park and it was dead there, There is hardly any good scenery to see at this place, When we did get in and start tasting it was worth the wait. Ryan took care of us with some good ol sarcasm and ribbing making us feel at home, Jim showed us the kitchen and discussed the benefits of being a smaller winery, There were a couple extra people hanging around having a good time. Great wine and a great time, jibs and jokes were free as long as you have a sense of humor. I ended up picking up a few bottles and joining the wine club. Its a place i will go back to for the wine and the people instead of the busier more pretentious winery with the beautiful scenery.. read more

When you think of a winery, you think of rolling hills and vineyards across the landscape. While walking into Falcor Winery is a bit different from the landscape of a picturesque winery, you won't be disappointed. It's pretty neat how they are able to bring in grapes from all over the place and can make their own versions of wines right on the property. It makes for some great ways to experiment. The lady who helped us was great; it was just me and a friend who was visiting from out of town and the experience was worth it. The price wasn't over the top and the wine samples were great, would love to visit again sometime in the future. read more

Friendly staff & delicious wines. Very warm and inviting atmosphere. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a non-pretentious, enjoyable, relaxing & educational experience. Enjoyed our first tasting so much we became members. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

We visited this Winery on July 4th. We were the only customers and had great service. We enjoy heavy reds and this Winery did not disappoint. Tasting fee is $30 pp for the reds only tasting. We will definitely return in the future. read more

We had tried some Falcor zins while on vacation a year or two back, and had liked them so much that we mail ordered them. On a whim, we decided to try to find the winery on our way home from camping over Labor Day. We almost left because the tasting room is in an industrial area and we thought we had the wrong address! Since we were coming from camping, we were pretty grubby and didn't have an appointment. Nevertheless, our hostess, Tarah, accommodated us, and was even good enough to find a movie for our 9-year old to watch while we tasted. Tarah was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We really loved the wines and ended up joining their wine club. We will be back! read more

Oh my god! So I'm from Seattle and I love wine and have visited Napa and Sonoma many times and I just fell in love with Falcor! Just visited their new tasting room in Sonoma and I absolutely loved EVERYTHING about it! Beautiful decor, really sheik and fun atmosphere. Laurie (the owner) personally welcomed us inside and sat down with us to do a tasting. Needless to say, we're best friends! Love, love her! We absolutely loved their Rosé, 2013 Rutherford Select and their 2011 Bilancia was phenomenal. We will definitely be back and have also committed to Mardi Gras in May! read more

My wife and I dropped into Falcor on the way back to our hotel at the end of our day and we sure are glad we did. We had a great time learning about the company and their wine from Casey. Not to mention we loved everything they poured us. Falcor is definitely in our ''must stop'' rotation for Napa trips moving forward. read more

Wow Falcor always exceeds expectations! Laurie and Tink knock it out of the park! Pig & Pinot party was exceptional - best of the best wine, out of this world food, amazing music and an overall fun and engaging environment and was able meet some phenomenal other club members and guests. If you want out of this world vino with aligned hospitality - this is your place! Casey is exceptional and my only "omg have to visit" winery when I make it back to Napa. Thank you Falcor team! read more

This is an awesome winery. Do not let the location fool you, this is a great low key winery. There is a welcome party of 2 super friendly dog. The ambiance is personable and welcoming. I highly suggest to anyone leaving Napa and is looking for a great way to end the day. read more

The winery and tasting is a great experience, but this updated review is about the Falcor Sierra Foothills Malbec. Quite possibly one of the best wines I've ever had!!! Like liquid silk, it was perfectly balanced and simply amazing for a 2007. I've cellared many Malbecs for 7 years and still not had one as approachable as this. Simply amazing. Get over the dirty feeling of paying more than $25 for a malbec and treat yourself ASAP!!! read more

Though we were a little late for the tasting room since it was filled we still got the chance to be seated in another area and sample some great red wines. Also I may have found my favorite wine falcor's Malbec! It is amazing! There company is fairly small but worked perfectly for us since we got to see the area in which they create the wines as well. After Doug told us of a great steak place that we decided to follow him to and enjoy dinner with another couple. Great experience. read more

I had a good experience at Falcor tasting room. I really enjoyed the wines: the Chardonnay was delicious.. real creamy and rich but not too heavy. The Cabernet's were nice, they poured us the 2003 and the Zin was nice as well. Doug took us back into the cellar for a tour and we tasted out of the barrels and got to have a couple of sneak peaks. I think the Chardonnay and the Malbec from the barrel were my favorites. The tasting room is beautiful. You wouldn't think it was there since it's right off of Napa Corporate Drive, near the DMV.. perfect for after the lines at the DMV to go by for a taste. They do complimentary tasting for everyone which is way cool. Industry doesn't pay of course anyway. The tasting room is pretty small and they don't have a lot of folks working there so if you walk in and there isn't anyone a round, shout out and they'll hear you and come out. It's worth the stop for sure: small production wines and very tastey. read more

Great wines here! Definitely not what we expected when we arrived, but we were still pretty happy with our choice of choosing Falcor. The woman working was very knowledgeable with her wines and the history of Falcor Wines. The tour was short, but we got to see how their wine was made. Their chocolate sauce is divine! read more

BEST WINERY EVER. it was like finding the needle in the haystack of wine country! Nothing exciting as far as the property, but the wine was amazing. read more

As a part of their wine club for the past two years I have been continually treated to great boutique wines. However the highlight is always the great service you receive in this non traditional setting. if you are lucky you can arrive at a slow time and get to know them while sipping on some wines and lounging on their couches. Some of their runs are so small that they continue to be wine club exclusives like their upcoming port. An incredible first try if I might say so myself. read more
