Joseph Cellars Winery - Wine Tours Near Me - Calistoga, California

We recently had a terrific tasting at Joseph and highly recommend a visit. We made reservations for a tasting on a recent Monday in June. Our host Timmy called in the morning to let us know the group before us had cancelled so he was flexible on timing, which we appreciated. When we got there, we found out we were the only visitors until late in the day (that's the good thing about Mondays!) so Timmy offered to move the tasting outside so we could enjoy the beautiful weather, a great suggestion. The tasting itself was great; Timmy had lots of useful and interesting info to share about each of the wines we had, and we really enjoyed each one (and bought several bottles). We did the experience with the paired bites of food, and it was interesting to see how the food changed the wine flavor. And since it was only us, Timmy was able to sit with us and we had a fun and wide ranging conversation that only added to the experience! We also were lucky enough to meet the winemaker Al on our way in, and the owner Joe on the way out. We have visited many dozens of wineries now all over California and this is easily one of our top 2 or 3 experiences. Definitely recommend! read more

Some of the best wine I've tasted! The cave was amazing!! Marie took the BEST care of us- she was so knowledgeable and hospitable. Will absolutely be back next time we're in town! read more

Went to 4 wineries for tastings during a family trip to Napa. Joseph Cellars was by far the best. Exceptional service from our tour guide, Timmy. We got to tour the cave as well as conduct our tasting experience inside of it. Timmy gave incredible descriptions of notes we should have tasted in each wine. The small bites provided accented each wine beautifully. Thank you for the incredible service and hospitality, Timmy. The property itself is so beautiful and welcoming. We highly recommend a tasting/tour here! read more

This is a belated review of Joseph Cellars Winery in Calistoga, where I had a reservation for my group of 15 girlfriends for a 40th milestone birthday in Napa. For my milestone birthday I was looking for a boutique winery that had cave tours. Joseph Cellars not only had a beautiful rustic winery and grounds, they had a large cave where their wines were made and stored. And my group got a private tour of the cave! When my group arrived, we were seated in the library past the main tasting room. The library had sofas and chairs, plenty of space for 15. The gentleman who hosted our group was welcoming and a great story teller. He pointed the wines from the tasting menu, took group photos, and gave us a lovely tour of Joseph Cellar's cafes. Sadly, I can't remember his name but he was great! After the cave tour my group had down time to hang out, talk, and drink more wine in the library. I loved the private setting. Thank you Joseph Cellars Winery team and our host for welcoming and accommodating my group of 15 for a milestone birthday! I am so grateful they welcomed our group; as many wineries in Napa Valley are still not accommodating larger groups in the pandemic. Highly recommend if you are looking to book a large group for wine tasting and cave tours at a gorgeous boutique winery in Calistoga! read more

A beautiful winery with delicious wine & Marie was a gem!! She's extremely knowledgeable and fun! Our group had an excellent time here.

We loved everything about this unique cave experience. Marie is an awesome guide, her depth of knowledge was incredible, she answered every question we had. We joined the club so we can continue to enjoy this wine from the Carolinas. read more

This has been our favorite winery we visited so far! The wine and food pairings were all outstanding and the cave is magnificent. I loved every wine and loved how they gave each person a detailed sheet of the wine and it's food pairing, but had a space for notes so we could record our thoughts for each pairing. Beautiful space. Ended up buying a few bottles of wine to take home too. They have a sweet cellar cat who is so friendly. read more

The highlight of my Napa trip! The tasting was exceptional! The wine was perfect and Timmy went above and beyond to ensure that I had a great birthday experience (mission accomplished) and I can't wait to return! The selections of wine were perfect! There's not one I didn't like. Sure, I had preferences (Cabernets and the Pinot noir were my favorite), but they were all wonderful. The rose was a pleasant surprise because I typically do not care for rose. The cave experience was like no other and the property is bougie, yet comfortable and cozy at the same time. I can't wait to return! Please support this winery. You will not be disappointed. read more

A Calistoga Must! Joseph's Winery was one of the most unique and excellent wine tastings we've had! The vineyard is so welcoming- a true family operation. The wines are amazing and the tasting rooms and cave are stunning. Keagan, our host (also the operations manager) really made our group feel like VIP's, as did the owner, Joe and his beautiful wife and children. The wine was exceptional (that might explain the case I bought and why I joined the club) as was their hospitality. Our group was a little naughty towards the end (a little on the loud side), but we were never rushed out. Fun tips- Book a cave tour- so fun! Try Yoga and Bubbles on Sunday mornings @ 9. $20 with the class + champagne after or COMPLIMENTARY if you're a club member. The bonus is the wine cats that wonder by as your doing yoga poses. The custom cheese here is amazing!!! read more

Great experience. Wine is awesome. Staff is wonderful! Try a tasting in the cave or enjoy the views from the outdoor patio.

If I could give this snobby place a zero I would. No good. I just visited last week and they treat you horrible plus the wine is no good. Luckily Girard Winery and V. Sattui Winery saved our trip. Save your money and visit Girard Winery, V. Sattui Winery, Prager Port Works & Winery, or Castello di Amorosa. read more

Our first time visiting Napa and this was our first winery, it was a great experience! When scheduling our tasting Maddie was extremely friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating. This was not my experience with other wineries while scheduling tastings so this made me even more excited about our visit to Joseph Cellars. At our tasting Timmy, our host was welcoming, fun, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was cozy and charming as it is a smaller winery, which made it personal. Each wine we tasted was different but wonderful in its own unique way. We are primarily red drinkers but we surprisingly enjoyed their whites also. We joined their wine club and look forward to reliving the experience at home and returning again soon in the near future. read more

I couldn't believe that I joined a wine club, however after tasting the wines at Joseph Cellars Winery - I was hooked. In fact, there was another couple with VGP and I on this trip and we both joined the club. We had tastings of quite a few wines and even had a barrel tasting. There was only one wine that I truly did not like the taste of (interestingly enough this was Joe's personal favorite). The delivery of my wine has since arrived and I've opened one bottle - a 2012 Chardonnay and it was as tasty here as it was when visiting the winery. Joe calls this boat wine - I liked his take on 'neighbor wine' as well. I bought two late wines and can't wait to open those up! The experience of meeting Joe and Hannah was fantastic. I think I teared up when Joe shared a personal story of when his dream of owning a winery came true. We are already planning on going back to Napa in September and we will be sure to stop in to Joseph Cellars again. read more

My husband and I had a very enjoyable tasting experience at Joesph Cellars. Although it was a hefty tasting fee ($100 each) it was worth it. We were greeted with a glass of Rose and enjoyed that while overlooking views of the vineyard. Next we went into the wine cave for a quick tour. Our tasting consisted of wines paired with a small bite of food. For example the sauvignon blanc was paired with an apricot with goat cheese & honey. All the wines were stellar and the experience was relaxed, comfortable and informative. I would recommend a visit to this winery! read more

Without question, best possible experience in Napa. Ron was amazing, the owner, Joseph, was onsite and VERY interactive. Quality wines, excellent experience, off the charts service with selection and quality. If you don't visit this one in Napa, you're missing out. read more

Very Disappointing! If you are going to charge $60 per person for tasting, it better be good. They do not waive tasting with a purchase and only tasted 5 wines. The wine was not bad, it was just not worth a $60 tasting. Known for their cabs we didn't even get to taste a cab. The experience was just okay as well. If you are on the fence with this one..... I would pass! So many more places to visit with exceptional wine and experience for less $ read more

Wow! Wow! Wow! What a time! First off I'd like to thank Maddie for the amazing experience with the wine tasting! She was absolutely fantastic and very knowledgeable! Beautiful scenery as you pull up to the winery and you start your way from the entrance through the vineyard to the top. Greeted with glasses of wine and a smile makes you feel quite taken care of and appreciated. We strolled into the caves to examine the process of wine making along with the storage of the barrels. We then make our way back to the main building to start our tasting. Now neither myself or my wife (on our honeymoon) are experienced at all in the wine industry. Maddie was very kind and answered all our questions we had. This was my first tasting and it was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend anyone in the area of Calistoga to take a look at some beautiful scenery along with some very amazing wines! We even tasted the grapes straight from the vine!! We will definitely be back in the near future! Once again I want to say Maddie was an excellent host and she made our experience exceed our expectations!! Thank you Joesph Cellars winery y'all are a top notch crew! read more

A great find in Napa wine country, time spent here was a definite highlight of our trip to Napa. Ron in the tasting room was enthusiastic, accommodating and knowledgeable about the product. They have great pride in their product and it shows. Unique cave tasting is a must. Although not cheap, their wines are all complex, unique and memorable. Of course I bought a case and joined the wine club. Now that I'm home, my only regret is that I didn't spring for two cases! read more

These guys Joe and Ron are the best! They treat me so well when I come in. This would be my second visit and they definitely make me feel welcomed and are just pleasantly nice people who accommodated me on both visits. I actually have told a few people about this particular Winery and spoke very highly of them just because it's just a really intimate experience, no pressure into buying anything just a real chill environment... Thanks, I always leave happy and excited! read more

Let me just start by saying that this place was beyond incredible! My husband and I have a 1 1/2 year old daughter and this was our first trip away from her... it did not disappoint! We made an appointment for a private wine tasting and Keagan was our host. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and definitely showed us a good time! He started by giving us a few wine tastings in the main building, then took us into the cave where we sat one-on-one and enjoyed more wine and some of the best cheeses I have ever tasted (never knew I could like cheese as much as I liked wine). Keagan took his time with us and was very thorough in answering all of our questions (we know absolutely nothing about wine). The cave is a MUST SEE! It was such a wonderful experience and loved how private and intimate this tour was. After we finished our tastings, my man and I were on our way to another winery but decided to cancel and stay at Joseph Cellars because it was just too good. Luckily we did! Joe, the owner, and his friends came to the winery and we ended up talking and drinking with them all night. I don't think another winery could ever top this experience! We left with 4 bottles of phenomenal wine, a nice little buzz, and an awesome memory of our first trip away together. Thank you Joseph Cellars! We will be back next year! read more

Wow. Beautiful family, fabulous wine, amazing experience! You won't want to leave! read more

I've been coming to Napa since the 80's and this year, we came upon Joseph Cellars. We met Ace and Joe at a wine tasting at the Wine Country Inn and immediately hit it off with these guys. We bought their delightful zin and enjoyed it with our dinner at Cook that night in St. Helena. The next day, we drove up to their winery which is under construction and were treated to a fun tour with tastings in their newly mined caves and soon to be tasting room. What a refreshing Napa experience! Great wine! Great people! It'll be fun to watch it all come together. We're looking forward to going back in 2013 when it's all completed. read more
