    We had a Saturday afternoon reservation to do a tasting for two at J Moss. This was our second stop on our black-owned winery adventure, and it was a great experience. We were warmly greeted; first by other guests, then by the owner and his wife, and finally with a personalized tasting menu that had our names printed on it. It was an excellent tasting experience, and we were given a plate of different crackers, breads, nuts, and brownie brittle to use when tasting the different wines. After tasting, we were invited back into the production area where Mr. Moss explained his process and showed us one of the wine cellars . He is very open about his process of getting into winemaking and sharing the lessons he's learned along the way. He also was willing to give us some suggestions for good places to eat in the area. An interesting fact we learned is that in Napa wineries must own 10 continuous acres in order for their tasting room to also be on their property. This is why the J Moss tasting room is not on the land where they grow the grapes. However, Mr. Moss is a smart businessman; he owns and operates every part of his own production process.

    Customized pamphlet so sweet!

    My husband took me here for our anniversary. We had the option of sitting outside in the gorgeous courtyard or inside with ac and tv. They had a customized booklet with our names wishing us a happy anniversary. I thought that were such a sweet special touch. We were even brought complimentary nuts and crackers. I LOVED the wines We bought 3 bottles. James was very informative, kind and showed such great hospitality. It felt like I was visiting a family member that happened to be a sommelier. I can't wait to return with friends and family!

    Definitely go see J Moss on your Napa trip. Service was exceptional, and wine was delicious. We squeezed in a tasting on a Saturday morning, and I am so glad we did. We got to meet the winemaker and enjoy details we wouldn't have gotten otherwise. I loved the 2016 cab and the red blend. They have been my favorite reds so far!

    Look how cute! They personalized their tasting booklet with my name.

    I signed up for a wine tasting the day before on their website and James was nice enough to call me back and schedule the tasting over the phone.The tastings are $35 per person and include at least 3+ wines and a tour of their production facility. James and Janet made the entire experience feel very welcoming and educational. Their wines are great and award winning. Because of Covid now, tastings are done outside on their patio area. In the future, I hope that their website booking is more seamless or they put their availability on CellarPass for people to book exclusively online.

    Absolutely love this place and can't wait to go back. Professional, informative and an all around great vibe! 10/10 recommend to those who prefer smaller intimate experiences. The owner was around and is also very kind and knowledgeable. The wines were great, and the staff is phenomenal and made sure we enjoyed our experience. Can't wait to go back!

    Mr. James, affectionately referred to as Uncle James, we had an amazing time! Thank you! Get the candles! They smell great. I'll be making my order soon, and I'll certainly be back.

    We spent two days in Napa visiting 7 wineries and this one was by far everyone's favorite (we were…read morea group of 4). The small intimate setting, beautiful views, amazing wines at reasonable prices, and great cheese pairings made this place a stop to remember. I ended up buying a case and joining the wine club. They also waived our tasting fees with our bottle purchases (I think it's one tasting waived per two bottles but double check me on that). They also gave me a free (and quite sturdy and good quality) branded wine key, perhaps for joining the club. I also appreciated they gave us water bottles and allowed two of our guests (who were driving) to join us but not have to pay for the tasting. I wish more wineries allowed that to allow for safe and responsible tastings. Highly recommend and will definitely be back again! This by far will have to be a stop for us every time we come to Napa. Thank you Taylor Family Vineyards for a wonderful time!

    Taylor Family Vineyards was our first vineyard to visit on our Napa trip. We went to 3 vineyards…read morefor 3 days, and Taylor was by far our favorite. The setting was SO intimate (we were the only ones there), the view was beautiful, and we were treated like family in someone's home. The owner even came out to greet us. It was so sweet. Their story was amazing, the wine pairings were great, and we loved every single wine we tried. This was the only winery we visited where every person in our group bought multiple bottles, a case or a membership to their wine club. All of us still get the email updates from the vineyard, and look forward to their spring release wines (specifically the Sauvignon Blanc & Rosé)! When I tell you every wine of theirs we tasted was amazing, I mean every single one! I've even received hand written cards every Christmas since we visited from the family. They truly made our experience so special. Their wine, their vineyard, their hospitality and the attention to detail made Taylor Family Vineyards our favorite winery to date. I can't wait to visit again!

The wine tastings in the downtown location are always lovely -- everyone is very kind and very knowledgeable. Their white and rose wines are delicious as well -- May I suggest frose with their rose?

My family and I came on a Saturday afternoon per the recommendation of the owners, who we met at a Tesla event. We didn't go to the vineyard itself, but the tasting room that they have in downtown Napa right along the river . We were greeted kindly and decided to settle on three tastings. My mind was blown by actually liking Rosè, a drink I usually am not a fan of! We started off with two white wines, followed by three various red blends, one of which we took a bottle home. They also have a neat membership program that is essentially of no cost per year as long as you buy a bottle a year (I believe there's some price minimum depending on the bottle). This also includes free tasting all year round for up to 6 people at a time. The wines were explained to us in great detail, and the guy explaining it to us (I wish I remembered his name, but he was great) entertained all our various questions as we are wine novices. Highly highly recommend !

My husband and I were able to call ahead and schedule a very last-minute tasting, and from the very beginning, the hospitality was exceptional. I work in the wine industry on the retail side in Texas, while my husband does not, so creating an experience that feels both educational and approachable for both of us is not always easy. Steve absolutely nailed it. He welcomed us warmly, shared thoughtful stories about the wines and the winery, and made the experience feel incredibly personal. The tasting room itself is beautiful and feels like a hidden gem in Napa. We especially loved learning about the wines and the woman winemaker behind Levendi. The tasting was stunning from start to finish. What truly sets Levendi apart, though, is the level of hospitality. Since our visit, I have referred many of my favorite clients to Levendi, and Steve consistently goes above and beyond for them. He bends over backwards to make sure my customers are taken care of, and every single person I've sent has come back raving about their experience. At this point, a trip to Napa would not feel complete without a stop at Levendi. I honestly cannot imagine Napa without Levendi -- or Steve. If it's your first visit, do yourself a favor and try the Stagecoach. You won't be sorry.
