After a long day floating down Russian River, my friend and I were wandering around to take advantage of being in the area. Very impulsively, we decided to pull over while passing Lola. They were already closed for the day, but Jarred was kind enough to let us have a seat in the patio and a few sips. He was incredible, and gave us a lovely experience for the few moments we spent there. I would use the word "cozy" to describe this location -- perfect for couples or groups to enjoy. It's got a very homey and intimate vibe, which I have to say I sometimes prefer to the large mansion/castle wineries. I definitely would love to return for the full tasting, although the detour was enough for me to purchase a bottle of their Rosé, and my friend was very close to buying the Muscat, both of which I recommend. read more

Had a wonderful experience tasting wines here. The selections were unique, and the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. We happened to be the only couple visiting that day, which made the whole experience feel incredibly personal and special. They even took a Polaroid photo of us--a thoughtful touch that made the visit feel even more memorable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a distinctive and one-of-a-kind wine-tasting experience in Napa. read more

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Lola wines. From the customer service to the ambiance to the vine variety and taste- everything was top notch. We made a reservation the day before and were able to sit out in the back patio area. They contacted us beforehand to see if we had any preferences or requests for wine tastings. We enjoyed learning all about how the wines were made and they all tasted fantastic. Even my boyfriend, who is not a wine drinker and was dreading the tasting, said he enjoyed 5/6 of the wines we tried (big win!) We spent a couple hours here and we were sad when it was over, it was the perfect start to our day in Calistoga! read more

The moment we walked in, this place felt like home. Even when they were about to close they still let us taste the wine we were going to buy. The owner of the winery actually took the time to have a personal conversation with me and I appreciate his humble opinion and advice I would suggest this place if you want a very intimate and personable experience. read more

Pretty obsessed with this spot. Visited with a friend who is a wine club member, parked around the corner, was greeted inside and led thru the cute lil house to the sweetest garden. We absolutely loved all the wines on the tasting and were so charmed by the staff, the history of this young winemaker. Also learned they also own Cortez Conservas for a perfect snack to pair with the wine, and the cutest shop off the garden to poke thru. read more

Went there with friends for a tasting in a quiet Saturday afternoon Beautiful spot in Calistoga. Understated but a nice little outdoor garden and attentive staff! Wines were all unique and a nice change from all the other Napa winery scene. Loved the whites and particularly the Chemo. Blanc I highly recommend this place. read more

My daughter and I celebrated Mother's Day with a wine tasting at Lola Winery, and it was such a wonderful experience. Kaitlyn was an amazing host -- she explained the wines and the history of the winery so thoughtfully and made the tasting both fun and educational. Every wine we tried was unique and delicious, and we were introduced to varietals we had never even heard of that are now some of our new favorites. The back patio is absolutely beautiful and feels like a peaceful oasis, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy great wine. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Lola Winery to anyone looking for a memorable wine tasting experience! read more

My husband took me and our kids here for a wine tasting before we checked into our resort in Calistoga. They are one of the few wineries that actually allow kids, and I can see why! The back patio is absolutely delightful and perfect for kids, lots of cool plants and trinkets to look at. The vibe is super homey and cozy and you literally feel like you're at someone's house (which the building actually is). The service is super friendly and welcoming, and you definitely feel like it's a different pace than the busy city. We ended up getting 2 bottles and the bottarga (roe). A bit pricey but totally worth it! read more

Was nearby and saw review on Yelp. They are nice to get me in with a very short notice. The tasting house is pretty cute, with a cozy backyard for the tastings. Very interesting wine offerings. I surprisingly really liked the whites. Grabbed two bottles after. Really hard working people here with great personality. It was a hot day but they kept the area cool with strong fans. Really enjoyed the visit . read more

The wines here are excellent, they were described by a very informative person named Jarred and he knows his stuff. Additionally, our minds were blown after having the Bottarga and Mojama food offerings. I have never had these before and they were so delicious, we took some home (along with wine). The beautiful garden setting was so relaxing and enjoyable, I highly recommend anyone to go to Lola wines! read more

Lola is a tasting house in downtown Calistoga (no vineyard views but cute setting). They have an adorable outdoor patio where you can taste 5 wines for $30 or the entire line up for $50 (10 different wines). It's a small family owned winery and the wine maker and his wife is usually around saying hi and introducing the wines to people. We visited during the Valentine's weekend and they had a sweet surprise treat and also took Polariods for everyone to keep! Loved spending time there and ended up buying a bottle of Dry Riesling and two different Pinot Noirs. More wineries based on views, price, varietals at finevining.com IG @fine.vining Cute for pictures: 3/5 QPR: Average price $20-50 Main varietals: Dry Riesling, Pinot, Cab Tasting fee: $30, waived with 3 bottles read more

Lola Wines - Wineries Near Me - Calistoga, California

Favorite winery of my Napa Valley weekend by far! The employees were so welcoming and friendly and even sat down with us for a bit to chat and tell us about the winery, wines, and other recommendations for our trip. The tasting was one of the cheapest we did and the best wines. The cherry on top was the ambiance. You can do an indoor or outdoor tasting but I recommend the outdoor as it is in the "backyard" of the house/winery and feels like you are in a cozy garden. This is a must visit winery when in the Napa Valley area! read more

It's a small operation but definitely a gem to stop at in Calistoga. Just along the main road, walking into Lola Wines feels like you're coming over to your friends' house out in the countryside to savor an afternoon with people you enjoy being around. There isn't much seating and during the past few months, at least, you won't be seated without a prior reservation, so definitely book ahead. Easy check in - just walk right in to the backyard and you'll be seated and introduced to the selection. We went for the mixed tasting on this occasion, meaning we had some of the reds as well as a few whites. Served beautifully for your pouring pleasure, and each comes with its own little story from your host. And due to the coziness of the backyard area, you get a lot of personalized attention from the host as you proceed through the tasting. You may even catch a glimpse of the Lola founder during your visit, as he's known to come by. There are some wines at Lola that you can only purchase at the Lola house. You won't find them on store shelves elsewhere in the country. Again, it's just a really small operation so supply is very limited. But this adds an element of pizzazz to the tasting, I think. Best part? The restroom at the Lola house has a pink ball pit bathtub. Why? Who knows? Do we need to ask? No - It's wonderful. Definitely no regrets about coming to Lola. We had a great time. As a complete wine amateur, I thought the wines were pleasant and tasted different enough that I enjoyed going through the tasting. Don't ask me for wine reviews hahaha. Lola is nice cozy place to spend the afternoon with good company and an enjoyable tasting experience. read more

Such a gem! Unique wine in a cute little tasting area outdoors. We stumbled here without a reservation but they had a cancellation and took us in. Great hostess makes you feel at home and explained each wine and the fermentation process perfectly. The smoked roe and mojama was so interesting as a pairing to the wine. We truly enjoyed our experience here and brought bottles home to enjoy. Tip: Stop in even if you don't have an appointment. They are so friendly! read more

Awesome wine tasting experience. Lovely wines and lovely people. The patio is cozy and intimate. We try to visit whenever we're in the area.

Service was terrific. Wines good. Ambiance very good. Food mediocre. A substantial change from the large wineries in the area.

Lovely garden setting, great wines, knowledgeable friendly staff . A perfect wine tasting that is more intimate in a smaller relaxing setting. The outdoor seating on the patio is absolutely perfect and the music playing was a added touch it was a great vibe. read more

Super cute and the wines were great. The wine manager was nice and knowledgeable. We had a nice time.

We first tried a bottle of Lola Pinot at Lovina right around the corner from Lola Wines. The Pinot was so good that we decided to visit Lola during our next trip to Calistoga. Lola Winery is located in a quaint house that is a combo of office space and tasting room. Rafaela greeted us at the door and gave us a quick tour of part of the house. Given the COVID situation, we got to sit outside in this wonderful outdoor area in back. As it was chilly, heat lamps and blankets were available to keep us warm. We began the wine tasting with several white wines even though we prefer reds. The Dry Reisling was fantastic and not at all cloyingly sweet as many Reislings are. The second white wine was the Malvasia Bianca which is a unique wine and a rare one for Napa. The flight of reds included several Pinots and a Cabernet. All of them were excellent. During the tasting, we ordered a cheese plate which turned out to be the best cheese plate we've had ever. Seth, the winemaker, hung out with us and gave us a lot of details on how the wines at Lola are made. We ended up tasting every wine that was available for tasting. Wines for the tasting are served in an interesting way, and I won't tell so you'll have to go to Lola to find out. My partner and I always pick the smaller wineries because we like the intimate, friendly nature of these wineries. Lola Wines is one of those wonderful, small wineries that has a passion for making excellent wines. Rafaela and Seth were great to talk to and the vibe at Lola is very comfortable and laid back. We are definitely going back for another visit! read more

It is the cutest little winery where you get to taste delicious wines in the back garden. Such a chill place , reminded me of wine tasting back in the day when it was cheap and unpretentious. Tried the little bites of bread from model bakery with butter and seafood jerky.. it was very good. As for wine, liked all the wines they had but the Cabs and Malvasia Bianca are favorites. Oh and Jared was awesome and shared all his knowledge about the wine making process and food pairing . Great service and a cute garden tasting is waiting at this winery. read more

How utterly fantastic. They are so agreeable with how they approach winemaking and they are so inviting to the consumer! I loved hearing the stories on this beautiful spring day. Sipping wines in their patio to classic roots music in the background, our host Corey showered us with vignettes about the life and times of Lola's winemakers. Even going so far as to notice how much we love photography - and to tell us about their upcoming art show featuring the black and white photographs of the vineyard workers themselves. Their wines are as graceful as their presence, light on the approach, with a sophistication that comes across clearly. How well received we were and thanks to the Chronicle article they were featured as one of the top 25 wineries to visit. We have to agree completely, glad they made the list and wish them the best. read more

Lola Wines is an amazing, very charming tasting room, with really delicious wines. The woman who helped serve/share the wines (Lydia) was super knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It was cold and rainy when we were there, so we didn't get to sit in their lovely patio, but the shop/room is artistic and warm and welcoming. We bought the Cabernet, which almost tastes like delicate chocolate, and it was so delicious to drink with our dinner at home. If you are in Calistoga, you really should stop by Lola Wines! (make an appointment first.) Cheers! read more

We're on a weekend wedding venture tour and came across The Lola House serendipitously as our puppy's name is also Lola. We stopped in and experienced the best service (Cory), wine, and food (bottarga) of the entire weekend. This place is truly a gem. I'm hesitant leaving this review as we will be back often but know it's only a matter of time before the valley and out-of-towners know what The Lola House has to offer. read more

Great small winery located right off the Main Street in Calistoga. We came in without a reservation at 4 p.m. The guy working was so very nice and let us do a quick tasting before they closed. We were so thankful. They have the most beautiful courtyard out back. We really enjoyed our hour here and def want to come back. The wines were all really good and all on the dry side. We took home bottles of the rose and Pinot Noir. This is a wonderful tasting room with great wine prices compared to some other places in Calistoga. Great value! This place is a must for any trips to Calistoga or Napa! read more

Quaint, personal and outstanding. If you're seeking unique, explorative wines and a truly genuine tasting experience, I highly recommend Lola. Rafa went out of her way to ensure we had an educated experience. read more

A group of us attended a tasting at Lola Wines the other day. We all really enjoyed it. Corey tasted us thru a generous list of wines. He was informative, knowledgeable, and very passionate about his work. This is the thing I love about wine tasting! Even the owner - Seth Cripes - stopped by to chat a bit. It was so nice to meet the person that made these wines - you don't always get that opportunity. The tastings came in these two-ounce tubes - making it easy for anyone sharing a tasting. Reminded us all of science class! The tasting takes place on the back patio of a quaint house on Hwy 128. It was private and Corey turned on the heat lamp for us. Seth's wife does all the decor and artwork. What a talented group! I left with an awesome Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - so good! Until next time! read more

If you are in Napa Valley you must visit Lola Wines. By far, it was the best experience I had in the valley. The place is charming and cozy and Rafaela, wife of the winemaker/owner, is a brilliant artist and turn the place into a beautiful art gallery. I learned a lot with her about the process of making a perfect wine, she was adorable. I love having my tasting in the back patio outside. Lovely. The wines were exceptional. Malvasia Bianca was my favorite and so Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. I hope to be back soon! read more

Lola Wines is such a good find! Very cute atmosphere in their garden for the wine tasting and the experience is more personable like you're at someone's dinner party. They started you with a Pinot Noir Rosé as a welcome taste. This was actually the only Lola wine we've tried previously and it's a good one. The official tasting started with a Dry Riesling, which was nice. Next was a Malvasia Blanc and this is the only 100% MB served in the Napa Valley. Our server let us know this is the wine we will remember all day and he wasn't wrong. The Chenin Blanc was next and that is a favorite varietal of mine. This Chenin Blanc was different from others I've experienced with its jasmine note. We had two rounds of Pinot Noir next; Lola's flagship, the Russian River Valley and their 10th Anniversary Reserve. Both were delicious but I preferred the flagship for it's drinkability and I thought it would compliment food well. The final tasting was the Cabernet Sauvignon and again that was good too. We left with three bottles, the Rosé, the Malvasia Blanc and the Russian River Pinot Noir. Best little winery in Calistoga! read more

A hidden gem just off Hwy 29 coming into Calistoga. Felt like I was in someone's awesome home, a circa-1892 home with cool art and an adorable garden. The whole family, human and canine, were there to charm the visitors that filled every table. Great wines & conservas and wonderful way to spend an afternoon. A must-visit and I'll definitely be back! read more

Where to start. Nestled alongside the road outside of Napa is the LOLA Winery. We are not wine coneiseurs by any means, so we were honestly expecting some pretentious sommelier that would think we couldn't appreciate what they had to offer, considering how highly reviewed LOLA is. It couldn't have been further from the truth. Our wine tasting was a casual, yet intimate experience essentially in the beautiful back patio of someone's home. We were treated as good friends at a dinner party with a host that knew everything there was to know about the wine they were serving. Each wine we had was fantastic. The Chennin Blanc could only be described as "gluggable", perfect for after work, relaxing at home. The Pinot Noir was floral and delicate. The Cabernet was fruity, smoky, and not too sweet. I basically only drink beer and whiskey. I'm really into microbrews and I'm dedicated enough to try thousands of them. I don't even like wine, but this changed my mind. I'd happily go back tomorrow. read more

This tasting room and family was by far the best experience we had during our week and wine country!! We stumbled upon their place and took a chance!
