[[HIGHLIGHT]]We dropped in Sunday around 2pm. It wasn't busy at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have both outside and indoor seatings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Only 1 table outside and inside were taken. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a windy day so we decided to sit inside due to bad allergies.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We chose the $50 single vineyard flight of 3 wines: Syrah and 2 cabs and the $70 single vineyard flight : Syrah, 2 cabs, chard, and a sparkling rose. The wines were complex and didn't taste cheap. All the wines were smooth. It's just pricey. Wished they waived a tasting with a bottle purchase but it was a $250 minimum purchase to waive 1 tasting. The female staff who poured for us was knowledge and nice. la dame Michele sparkling rose- smells aged but tastes fine, dry Weather carneros gap vineyard Chardonnay- not oakey or buttery at all, refreshing Crane vineyard Syrah- peppery, smooth GNR vineyard cab- fruity, smooth R/D vineyard cab- fruity, smooth Coombsville vineyard cab- fruity, smooth - the best cab Twisted oak cab- fruity, smooth read more

The wine I tasted was pretty good! I didn't try a glass but a sip of one that was suppose to be good! Justin who worked there was really nice and gave us very good suggestions. I tried their Sauvignon blanc that was decent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is like a lounge but located in downtown, with a lowkey vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came on a Friday and it was not that crowded. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice ambiance and nice decor and vibe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The place is good to try and grab a glass of wine! I will come here again to get a good vibe and chill. -Marshay D. read more

Hands down one of the best wine tasting experiences I've ever had at John Anthony Vineyards Church Vineyard. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The wine was absolutely amazing across every variety we tried, the pairings were thoughtful and delicious, and the location is both beautiful and incredibly convenient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I truly can't say enough positive things about our hostess, Krishna. She catered to every thought and need before we even had to ask and made the entire experience feel personal, welcoming, and elevated. Fantastic wine tasting experience for a great price. I highly recommend the Church location and wine pairing experience -- can't recommend it enough! read more

My wife and I were in town celebrating our anniversary and stopped by John Anthony for a tasting. Exceptional experience thanks to Fernando! It's rare to find hospitality that feels genuine. The wines were great but the elite service made this a top-tier stop during our visit. read more

Walked-in without a reservation; apparently my friend is royalty here because that is how they treated her. We tasted and tasted and everything was so good. We also got the caviar served with smoked salmon. It came with chips which is my favorite way to eat it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While here, mid Friday afternoon, they had live music and the woman signing did a great job. It was not too loud and made for an even better time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I left with a full heart, a happy pallette, of course, some cabs to take home. read more

Absolutely the most welcoming crew downtown.

Stopped in for a glass of wine and we were assisted by Thomas. Thomas was educational, and found what we liked on the first pour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun spot to grab a glass of wine while downtown.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

It was an incredible experience, informative and well curated. Allison, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She is very grounded and easy to talk to, while being a great host and spokesperson for John Anthony. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's has an upscale and minimalist element to the design with great details and little love notes to their various wineries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wines themselves were tasty and approachable while also still being complex and delicious. I'd definitely recommend trying out a visit and supporting this great winery. read more

My husband and I had such an amazing experience here!!! Like a lot of other reviews, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is at first questionable especially if you stop in early in the day because it's a smaller more intimate tasting room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, [[HIGHLIGHT]]we really enjoyed the one on one experience we got.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our sommelier was amazing! He made some great suggestions based on what we told him we liked and let us try some additional wines that were not on our tasting list and really took the time to get to know us and make us feel special and welcome. He was personable, professional and a wealth of knowledge. The wineeeeeeee!!!!!! Oh my. It is amazing!!! Do not sleep on these wines! Will be buying some more and shipping it to the house. It is so good. We look forward to the next time we get to stop by in person and thanks for the amazing experience! You guys are doing it right! read more

My friend and I actually won a trip to Napa through Lets Make A Deal which was an amazing opportunity! From start to finish Krishna welcomed us warmly and made our experience one for the books. She came out to great us with wine and offered to take our photos and gave us a tour. Chatted with us. Just made the whole time a wonderful experience. My friend even joined the wine club and we cant wait to come back! read more

We had such a great experience at John Anthony Winery. Our tasting was led by Alison, and she made the whole visit feel special. She's an incredible storyteller and brought the winemaker's history and each wine to life. The food pairings were spot on and really elevated the tasting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I can't wait to open a bottle at home and be reminded of the experience we had at their beautiful church location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The wines are incredible, the atmosphere is warm, and Alison made it unforgettable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend a visit and definitely ask for her if you can. read more

Came here with my girlfriend on a Wednesday night with a Priority Wine Pass. The sommelier greeted us and explained that we could purchase just one tasting if we were okay sharing glasses, and the pass would entitle us to a few extra discretionary pours. We decided on the portfolio tasting. She asked me what I liked and I said cabernet sauvignon. We started with the NV sparkling, which was light and refreshing. She then poured us the 2023 Carneros sauvignon blanc, which had an unusually tropical nose of papaya and pineapple; she explained that this, as well as the high alcohol content of 15.4%, was the result of allowing the grapes to ripen for longer than others. We then proceeded to the 2022 Jameson Canyon chardonnay, which was smooth and buttery. The 2021 Carneros Gap syrah was fruity with some notes of spice and barbecued meat. She then poured us a vertical of the 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon (the 2019 and 2020 were part of the regular tasting, while the 2017 and 2018 were bonus pours). I liked the 2017 the best, with great structure, bold tannins, and a slight amount of earth. My girlfriend liked the 2018 the best, with more mellow tannins and a more fruity, approachable palate. Based on our preferences from the last round, our somm poured two additional premium wines: the 2019 R/D cab for me and the 2019 Epps cab for my girlfriend. The somm definitely knew what she was doing, since the character of each wine was indeed quite similar to the ones we liked before respectively, though by that time we were a little too drunk to definitively say that the single-vineyard cabs were better than the Napa Valley cabs. Overall, this was an excellent experience, and with its convenient hours and walkable location, this is a great choice after dinner if you're staying in downtown Napa. At $60 for 10 pours shared between 2 people (note that the actual number you get with a pass could vary), this is also a good value given the premium quality of the wine. read more

This is a cute tasting room right in the heart of Downtown Napa. We were staying at the Andaz Hotel next door, and received a coupon for a small tasting discount. There are cute areas to sit in and lounge and it's a solid experience. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The tasting room in downtown paso was amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Allison our server was so informative. She knew everything about the history as well as each wine.

Josh was a great host. He made sure we were taken care throughout our tasting. Great conversations and very attentive.

We had a Reserve Tasting at the Church Vineyard for 10 people. Hostess was phenomenal. She was great with details about the Church itself and about all of the varietals that we tasted. She knew everything about John Anthony Vineyards. She's great representative. Along with that was the Chef pairings, which were great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was the classiest tasting we have ever had in Napa.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Maybe, I'm too young or not experienced enough, but for the price of $125/person for their highest tier, it wasn't mind blowing... even if a cup or two came from $300 bottles. I had been here a long time ago, but told a friend it was good before. But this experience wasn't the best. It was also empty on a Saturday afternoon/evening when it should be super busy. Also, if you plan to come here with others, just note you cannot get different tiers and they have to be the same. Which was interesting for me since all other locations allow you to pick different tiers. read more

Great location in heart of Napa. The staff was great -- knowledgeable and welcoming. Opted for a wine flight and they were all enjoyable. Lots of private seating options -- couches/tables. Nice relaxing vibe to enjoy some great Napa wine! read more

Stopped at John Anthony with a group of 6 and had a great time. We did the spring splash passport and found John Anthony from the list. Opens earlier than the other tasting rooms in the area. Staff was knowledgable and kind. We purchased a few bottles of one of the Sauvignon Blancs. read more

I stopped in this tasting room in downtown Napa on a September Saturday evening during harvest season. The Napa streets were abuzz with people, diners and music. I came across John Anthony and looked in the windows. 1 person was there. I thought, well, why not go in and get some good attention and learn about their wines. The customer service was non inspiring. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was no ambience[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]],m. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a tasting room for private customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Too bad it's taking up space on First Street. read more

Fun tasting place near a hotel and across the way from the Hog Island restaurant area. After lunch there, we stopped by for a tasting, and we had a blast! Started with the rose. We both liked it. Chardonnay was great too. Then moved onto some reds. The coombsville cab was excellent. Our server was very nice and helpful. We ended up buying some wines for shipment, and they arrived before we did! read more

My husband and I dropped into John Anthony for a nightcap while we were staying in Napa. It was conveniently located right next to our hotel, and we were able to walk in easily at 9:00 on a Saturday night. The space was reasonably attractive in a loungey kind of way (we sat on an animal hide sofa). If you're looking at photos on Yelp, you should note that the really pretty place is the actual vineyard, I think--in any case not the tasting room in downtown Napa. There weren't tastings available that late at night, so we settled in with a couple of glasses. I got the sauvignon blanc and my husband got the pinot. Both were solid, but I guess we didn't get the full experience of a daytime visit. We did have the pleasure of listening to a blowhard customer who came in right after we sat down and talked loudly and non-stop for the remainder of our stay. Anyway, can't blame John Anthony for its clientele (though I did get the sense he was a friend of the bar, or at least a local character), and the guy who helped us was perfectly polite. We enjoyed our wine and would maybe swing back if we were back in downtown Napa during tasting hours. read more

Christian was the best host! The wine was amazing and the best wine I ever had I My life!!

Wine tastings were delicious, vibes were immaculate, staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and as a cherry on top: music playlist was on point!! We stumbled upon this place on accident and this was a fantastic experience for a couple hours just hanging out and tasting their wines. Make your way up here and check em out! Will make for a fun afternoon. read more

This tasting room was AMAZING. Beautiful decor, perfect volume on the music, and of course, FABULOUS wine. The Syrah was my favorite. Jeremy's service was warm, hospitable and authentic - it felt like hanging out at a friend's house rather than a place of business. I loved it and I'll most definitely be back again! read more

We did the reserved tasting. Everything was excellent. Our favorite was the Chardonnay 2017 and the Syrah 2016. Just bummed that one of the wine my companions wanted to purchase was out of stock. Our hostess added 2 wines to our tasting that where not part of the reserve. We liked it too and purchase a couple of bottles. Very good experience here.

Finally tried this place, and loved it!! Right in the middle of downtown Napa, right between the Andaz and Archer hotels where we frequently stay. Open until midnight! SO rare and refreshing for a wine bar. Best of all, the wines are truly excellent, and they have both tastings and by the glass. Can't wait to return! read more

While visiting Napa we came here for a visit. We had never heard of John Anthony wines, but the lounge looked great and the experience matched that! Our wine educator was very knowledgeable, not only about their wines, but also about the area and other wineries. He did a great job providing us with the wine tasting notes and describing each wine we tasted and he was spot-on with regard to nose and palate. He was generous with his pours and offered a couple of wines that we might enjoy that weren't part of the basic tasting. Their glasses were spotless and of the correct weight to offer a great experience to those of us who truly appreciate the entire wine-drinking experience. I would highly recommend stopping in here for a tasting and be sure to take some home, this is very good wine! read more

Great service and cool vibe The setting has beautiful furniture and nice music The food was not available for purchase read more

The worst organic grapes I have ever tasted both green and red! Also the fastest rotting! I will never buy from this producer again!

Yelp find! Yes...went to Napa just to say I've finally been to Napa. No, I didn't visit any wineries but did visit Main Street Napa (which was okay). As we walked around for a bit and ate, I Yelped wine tasting and John Anthony (JA as I will call it), popped up. High ratings and reviews and opened late on a Sunday (1000pm). Score!!! I had my son with me and they cute lady who helped us with the wine tasting said it was no problem for him to join us inside (but not for wines of course). JA was awesome. The interior was nice, the service was awesome (I didn't catch the gal's name but she was working Sunday night, 2/15), the wines were good and I think the wine tasting flights were affordable as well. $15 for 3 flights and more if you do the other samplings. I ended up getting a bottle of their Sauvignon Blanc after the tasting so they comp'ed the wine tasting and I just paid for the bottle (I think that's typical when you wine taste). All in all a great time for me even though we never made it out to a winery. The service is legit here as well as the wine. Check it out!

This place is beautiful and provided the best tasting experience! Jeremy was super knowledgable and spoiled us with lots of tastings and great bites to go with each. Well worth the pricey tasting fee (I'd definitely pay that all day long for this experience). We had so much fun, we ended up at the tasting room in downtown Napa that same evening and got spoiled by Jeremy again! read more
