Exceptional service and wine. I had such a phenomenal time and this husband and wife team are stellar. Showed us where the wines are prepared after harvest. Definitely recommend

Mr. & Mrs. Moss mad the crew!!!!

Girls trip in Napa Valley. First stop J. Moss and we're soooooo happy we came. Met the husband and wife team who served us wine, gave a tour and told the story how how things happened. Very inspirational and excited to visit a Black Owner Winery! Thank you for your hospitality! We had an awesome time! We'll be back! Only bottle of wine that come back home with me!

Wine Tasting in Napa Valley, California. THIS PLACE IS THE BEST. EVERYONE SHOULD FEEL WELCOMED!!! Love this winery. Its so unpretentious First time here, I moved from Washington, D.C.

Place setting for our private tasting.

I came here with a group of 8 and James made us feel so welcome from the minute we stepped into his beautiful tasting room. We only had a reservation for 7, but James didn't bat an eye and quickly set an extra place setting for our private tasting. We got 4 generous pours for a modest tasting fee of $40 per person. The wines were bold, flavorful reds, which we enjoyed as we snacked on cured meats, crackers, and hand sliced cheese. James was an incredibly gracious and generous host. He even took us to the back to show how his wines are made and let us sample from the barrel. J. Moss wines are available in a few places in the East Bay including Shen Hua in Berkeley, Crown Liquors in Montclair, and Diablo Foods in Lafayette. Most bottles were around $80 each, so not cheap, but definitely uniquely equisite. I loved learning about James' personal and professional journey and could taste his passion for high quality wine in every drop.

This tasting room is a hidden gem, beautifully situated on the corner of First Street and Randolph…read more The space blends charm and elegance, featuring beautiful wood (BW) throughout and a vintage ceiling fan system that adds a touch of character and cool comfort. 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.

Excellent wine tasting, our host really knew her wine and she was so fun to talk to…read more We ordered a cheese and charcuterie plate and it was perfect. The crackers they had in there were gluten free - hallelujah! And the ambiance was nice, it was very aesthetically pleasing. Overall a lovely experience.

Tours and tastings are by appointment only. Call them at 707-226-8320 or email at…read moreinfo@hendrywines.com to schedule a tour. 21 years of age and over only. Not kid friendly. But dog friendly. 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.

She presented us with the history of the winery and detailed information on the wines on our tasting menu. The winery and grounds are fantastic. We we so impressed with the wines, my wife and I became wine club members. I highly recommend making a reservation to visit Hendry if you are wine tasting in Sonoma/Napa

The Pinot and 2020 Estate Cab are my favorites. 2. Tastings are affordable and the playlist is a mix of oldies and groovy RNB music. 3. The living room/couch set up is COMFORTABLE with a great view of all the goodies for purchase. 4. Adam Housley walked in, greeted all the patrons, and truly made us feel welcomed. The staff are already incredibly kind and well informed, but his surprise appearance was the cherry on top.

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!

Would absolutely recommend you popping in for an unforgettable wine tasting. A home converted into a tasting salon brings a homey, comfortable, and inviting ambiance. Amber is such a lovely host and made our experience truly memorable. The wine of course is the star of the show with delicious White and Red options. As a cab girl I left absolutely in love with their PhD. But my friend who leans white took home a bottle of Truth be Told Sav Blanc! Definitely worth popping in for a visit!

We had heard of the Educated Guess wines and had no idea that this was the place that makes those,…read moreso it was pretty exciting. Found out about this place on the app Tock, while looking for an impromptu place to go wine tasting near downtown Napa, and it turned out to be such a hidden gem! The Tock app is great for finding last minute available reservations in the Napa area, I probably would not have been as likely to hear about this place. When we got in, it was empty and our experience felt so special being the only ones in there. The seating was also nice with a homey but aesthetic feel. 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! We did the undergrad tasting and there was a good variety. We also received a complimentary cheese and cracker board and ended up buying a bottle of Hypothesis at the end -- brought it to dinner and it was enjoyable :) will definitely be back here

They sell curated food products from gourmet balsamic vinegar, crackers, popcorn, flavored olive oils, jams, and of course. We decided to try the bourbon latte and white rabbit. They have a variety of flavors but the bourbon latte caught my eye. Me not realizing that it felt like summer outside during springtime, we ordered both drinks hot. Sidenote, the drinks do come iced as well. In addition to our drinks, I bought lemon curd jam and rosè jelly. There was only one person working when we were there but we didn't wait long for our drinks which was a big plus. Aside from that, the bourbon latte was very tasty and I loved the fact that the bourbon syrup wasn't too overpowering. Next time I go, I'm definitely getting it iced. Napastäk is definitely a gem and I recommend stopping by to visit if you're in the area. If you love taking picturesque photos, this is the perfect place! They having tasting too!

Worst $11 of my life. 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.
