Beautiful Day Beautiful Wines
H W.

One of the few (left) family owned wineries. Cozy and personal. Very engaging staff and good wines. Nice time and a great way to end our week in Napa.

It's not easy to find a winery that could accommodate 8 people plus a baby and dog but Hagafen pulled through. They charged $55/person for this sized group with no refunds for bottle purchases which seemed reasonable considering and didn't charge the DD that wasn't drinking. The seating area was beautiful and very comfortable. Our wine guide Charlie was super helpful and even showed us around the barrel room. We were able to bring plenty of snacks and hang out for a few hours. The wines came in hefty tasting pours and they had a very diverse variety. The bottles were very reasonably priced. Everything produced here is kosher which, understandably, doesn't impact the flavor at all.

Impromptu visit to this relaxed vibe winery created by founder / owner who started this labor of love in the late 70s. According to the wine manager, he is still active and at the winery almost every day, including the day we visited. We enjoyed both the red and white tastings at $50 per person. Quality was good. Stand out was 2016 Can Sav. Price for tasting and bottles seemed excessive, that is just the way it is Napa. Our wine host was warm, knowledgeable and relaxed, like the winery. Enjoyed the '16 Cab Sav again the next night at a biz dinner in SF. Cheers!

While this is a kosher winery, there's nothing particularly different about the winery itself nor the wines/flavors. Just a 'thing' if you happen to keep kosher I suppose! Our friends are members here (ooh la la) so we were able to get a free wine tasting with them - amazing! I didn't catch our server's name but he was friendly and knowledgeable about everything we tried. I liked the setup here too - each group got their own little bench nook and table and there were curtains in between to separate you from the next group. Our server explained and poured one wine at a time and we were able to customize which wines we wanted to try (i.e. I don't like red wines, so I was able to just try whites/roses/sparkling). I enjoyed all the wines I tried and the weather was great for sitting outside.

The winery has great wine and customer service. They have a gorgeous outdoor seating to enjoy your wine tasting and you get to just kick back and relax. I was pretty impressed with their estate Merlot. Getting a reservation was fairly easy and quick. Will be visiting again !

Couldn't have had a better wine tasting experience for my first time! For $45, it included 5 wines. Though they had a Signature Tasting already picked out, you can actually customize and pick any 5 wines to try (as long as they're not collector exclusives). The tasting is also free if you buy $50 worth of wine! We tried the Chardonnay, Rosé, Merlot, and Cabernet... but my favorite was DEFINITELY the 2009 Late Harvest Sauv. Blanc! It was incredibly sweet and decadent. I ended up taking a bottle of it home with me. Apparently it is great on top of some ice cream! I highly recommend trying it! FUN FACT: all of their wines are kosher! Reservations were very quick and simple on their website. The staff were also exceptionally kind! They came by periodically to check on us and see how we were enjoying the wines. They were very informative and descriptive. Super easy to approach for questions! They also started us with some complimentary Dry Riesling,and ended us with some sparkling wine for our anniversary.

Found this place as I saw it was one of the wineries in Napa that offered sweet wine. Tastings are a set menu, which I did not know prior to coming. However, our server was super nice & friendly. I told him that I preferred sweet wine, so he went out of his way to serve us a couple of their sweeter wines after our tasting was finished. We ended up loving the 2 sweet wines that we tried, that we bought bottles of them, which were the sweet Riesling & the late harvest. The late harvest was amazing, it had tasting notes of caramel & smelled like honey. They have a great deal of if you spend $75+ on bottles, one of your tastings is free. 1 tasting is normally $45, so if you get 2 bottles, the deal is definitely a steal. Overall, we loved this small winery & they even let us walk around the vineyards & taste the grapes on the vines.

Casual wine tasting experience with delicious wine. I love wine tastings but theres usually a couple i'm not a big fan. To my surprise, I enjoyed all of them! They were all smooth and balanced. Our server was very nice and would explain all the notes and details of each wine that was poured. When we told him we liked sweeter wines he let us try some as well. I liked how they let you walk around, even in the vineyards. One of the best tasting experiences, cant wait to come back and try more of their wines!

I don't like chardonnay. But theirs is wonderful. I'm enjoying what I bought there a couple months ago right now.
Erik S.

This was the first winery we visited on my November tour with the nice folks from Platypus (read my review of them). Hagafen is the Hebrew word for vine. I'd never heard of them before, nor do I have any particular proclivities toward Kosher products, that 3/8 of my family notwithstanding. So, I'm simply happy to have discovered them. I enjoyed every wine on their tasting menu, yes, but I particularly enjoyed the chardonnay (see pic). I almost never like chardonnay; that overpowering oaky buttery furniture polish finish in many keeps me away. Hagafen's chard had none of that, but tons of all those other wonderful grassy and mineraly flavors. I always like happy discoveries while out on adventures, and Hagafen is one!

Beautiful views. Great wine!
Kate M.

Wonderful wine tasting experience at Hagafen! We loved chatting with Vince, who gave us our tasting. Everything was set up beautifully and the property was nicely maintained with stunning views. Vince was so knowledgeable when it came to the wine and the vineyard's history. My husband and I really enjoyed the entire experience and would absolutely recommend Hagafen for a tasting appointment.

Came here as my first wine tasting for an anniversary. It was a very nice and simple experience. The tasting was for 5 wines, and they allow substitutes. The staff would occasionally stop by with the next wine, give a brief explanation of the wine, and leave for around 10 minutes. In between tastings you can walk around the property. There's a vineyard and a chicken coop nearby. We substituted the Hagafen Pinot Noir for the Late Harvest Sauv Blanc. It was very sweet, tasting very similar to honey. Apparently it goes well with cooking or on top of ice cream. The staff made sure this was the last of the 5 tastings because of the sweetness. We also got a complementary wine to start, and a complementary sparkling wine for our anniversary to end. The wine here is also all kosher, but they do not boil the wine to preserve the taste. The cost of the tasting is $45, or you can purchase $45 of wine, so we took home a Late Harvest Sauv Blanc and a white wine.

I visited three different wineries in Napa Valley over the weekend and this was by far my favorite. The vineyard is beautiful and the patio we sat on was cool and breezy and most importantly, every wine we sampled was incredible. I wish I had bought more wine while I was there! They do have a wine club which I am considering membership for to get special pricing. You know you're in the right place when you see framed menus on the wall in the gift shop showing that their wines have been served in The White House!

Everyone having wine chose the Signature Flight, which included one white and three reds. I appreciated the option to substitute a Sauvignon Blanc for the Chardonnay, a nice personal touch. 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.

Quality/Quantity - I had a hard time with the website making my appointment, it's a user issue as I am just not tech savvy. So I called and someone actually answered the phone and made my appointment for me, THANK you! We arrived 15 mins early, so we hung out in the lobby reading all the history, etc. Then Skip took us to the best view overlooking the vineyard for our tasting; see pictures! We sampled almost ALL the reds! All of which were good. See pictures. I like the fact that we did side by side tastings of many of his wines. 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. Owner Comment - Congrats on your family's success since 1939 and congrats to this winery's success since 1992.

After we finished eating, I frantically researched (read: checked Yelp) for a winery to visit. Housley seemed to fit the bill--good reviews, dog-friendly (we had her dog with us), and what seemed to be a reasonable tasting price. We get there and we realize it's owned by Tamera Mowry (who is now Mowry-Housley!) There's a picture of her and her husband (a former baseball player) in the window. We're sort-of starstruck. Shortly after, her husband (and the winery's owner) Adam walks up with their daughter and asks us how we're doing. We continue to be starstruck. Service was wonderful. Seating was comfy. 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. I wish our wine tasting could've been free if we bought two bottles or something--I would've done that! Cute merch and store with goodies inside. Bathroom is clean. Would be back!

Joe took great care of us and explained all of the wines so well, it really enhanced the experience -- by the end we even felt convinced to buy a bottle!
