Napa Valley Distillery
John D.

In Distill of the Night Napa Valley's first distillery (2017) since Prohibition, that features a bevy of signature spirits that take from a Ginn and Brandy to Whisky and Bourbon. I was gifted a surprise visit by my love on a recent trip to Napa. Which is a really big give, considering she's not into spirits like I am. The Good: *Our Spirit guide, Theodore, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and generous with the tasting pours. *You might get lucky and visit when they're bottling their wares, and that's quite the adventure watching. *Get a Groupon to cut the tasting price in half from $90/2 to $45/2 and a $10 credit towards items purchased from the store on your visit. *I enjoyed all the spirits we sampled, but I surprisingly really enjoyed their ginn, which has a great juniper berry flavor. *Great décor, vibe, and atmosphere in their tasting room/speakeasy. The Meh: *Some of the prices are a little high for what you get, but it's not surprising given the locale. *All their spirits are bottles at 80 proof. I really don't care that much--altho I'd love to try some cask-strength stuff--but I know some people do. The Ugly: *Not surprisingly, the neighborhood they're located in is a lil' sus... TLDR: Great place to visit when touring Napa and are tired of looking at and tasting fermented grapes, and you're finally ready for some real alcohol. :-P

Our trip started a little stressful, no fault of Napa Valley Distillery. Google Maps took me to the back of the building. We did see some very very healthy large chickens but we were like, "this isn't the right place". We called and they had us go around to the other side of the building and we were off and running. Our tour guide was pretty awesome and we were lucky to be part of only three couples and the other couples added a lot of fun to the experience. We enjoyed many of the spirits but ended up with a bottle of Old Hollywood Cocktail. There were many bottles that we would have like to take home if we had a car but we flew in and we were taking the train home. Really enjoyed the tasting and would highly recommend the experience!

Went on a girls trip to Napa and one of my friends doesn't drink wine so I wanted to make sure we hit a distillery. The location is tucked away and hidden. But once you find it, you'll be pleasantly surprised. If you want a tour make sure you call and make a reservation. The outside as well as inside is just fabulous!!! The inside has cool 60's vintage going on. The mixologist Alexander is a pure gem, give that guy a raise!!! He made our drinks and our visit so wonderful. He surprised one of my friends with a drink, and it's one of the most stunning cocktails I have ever seen! It was topped with dried flowers, and a butterfly!!! It was almost too pretty to drink! We also had some other cocktails along with the truffle deviled eggs. I will be back here every time I go naps from now on! Thanks for the amazing experience!

Our host Adan was nice and also very knowledgeable. Learning about the process of making and distilling spirits was really informative. The pourings were fair and tasted great. Be warned, while they are following state law with pour amounts, this is still a lot of booze. Make sure to have a sober driver, this tasting is not for the weak.

Loved everything about this place, the theme, vibe, and packaging of their bottles. The tour of their facility and the educational piece is unmatched. It was cool to see where they actually make their product and see how small their operation is. The full-lit bar upstairs and antique furniture made you feel like you were sent back to the roaring 20s. I loved the technique lesson on how to drink spirits and the demonstration of doing both ways and tasting the difference. Some of them were obviously a lot stronger than others but doable. Each of their bottles was very cute and petite and the labels are very unique. Everything is handmade. We were so impressed, we walked out with a membership haha! I won't tell you all the perks because you should go and experience it but it's worth it. We decided it will be our quarterly trip to Napa + I'm a sucker for unique packaging lol Do this tour! You won't regret it, one of a kind.

LOVED LOVED LOVED IT HERE. Napa valley distillery. No something you'd expect from Napa. It's worth a stop hands not. The aesthetic is amazing! Friendly employees. Delicious drinks! You'll find things on their drink menu you've never seen before and they taste sooo good! You can get yourself a glass of brandy and smoke a cigar on the patio, what more would you ask for?? If you find yourself in the Napa area and are "wined out", this place is a must stop! Plus, If you live in the area, they're liquor subscription, is also worth it! With your quarterly payment you get free tastings each month!

We had such a great time at the Distillery. We found this distillery through a local guide book at our hotel, and we are so glad that we found the time to stop here! We got a great tour and tasting from Alexander - he was extremely knowledgeable, taught me the proper way to sip whiskey, and just gave us such a fun whiskey tasting. The tastings are done on their second floor in a little speakeasy type fashion that made the tasting that much more enjoyable! They also have the Hollywood Bar as part of their distillery, where you can also try cocktails with their whiskey. We wished it had been open when we were there, but we cannot wait to return one day to try it! A must stop in Napa. This distillery will make even the non-whiskey lover appreciate their whiskey.

If you like strong (creative) drinks, an educational tour, and spirit tasting... And no I am not talking about ghosts (lol), you should visit the Napa Valley Distillery. I wanted to plan a girl's event with my closest friends to experience a new city and try a tasting outside of wine. I happen to have found this place on Groupon ( $69.70 for 4 people) - not too bad. Be advised, that if you decide to participate in the spirit tasting, schedule a reservation on their website. The environment itself is a mix of retro / 60s vibe. The staff is beyond friendly and the drinks are strong!!! The food itself was alright. We enjoyed the charcuterie board and the artichoke. This location offers live music, which is also a great experience. Now.. The best part, is the tasting experience. I loved it! The host was AMAZING, knowledgeable and all-around friendly. The tasting room located on the second floor was beyond beautiful. He taught us how to properly taste/consume top-shelf spirits. The product itself was so delicious!!! I never in my drinking years experienced a spirit so delicious. Best believe we purchased a bottle To take home. Also, if you use Groupon, they take $20 off your purchase. I hope This review encourages you to visit!!

I used a Groupon for a tasting at the Napa Valley Distillery and it was a great deal! My group was a little late for the tasting, so we missed the tour but our guide was awesome and redid the tour for us once we finished our tasting! The tasting consisted of 6 different drinks and then we could try additional ones that are available for purchase (if you purchase a bottle, part of the Groupon goes towards the total). After the tasting, my friends and I got drinks down at the Hollywood room. They have a ton of different cocktails and mock tails. Would definitely recommend stopping here for a drink before or after the tour!

#doyouevencocktail this place is a must!! Do you hear me? When you come to Napa this is your go to place! From the moment you arrive you will be impressed as we were. Alexander was out tour guide his presentation was on point. This distillery has arrived you hear me it's beautiful and classy. The upstairs tasting room was my absolute favorite the set up was definitely impressive. Great for friends and with your love. You must join on the bar club because you will be sold on the whiskey and everything they have here. Christian made sure we had enough water and we were okay I am for the first time speechless about the distillery! #youguysrock #impressed You have passed the 5 star rating with me!

Such an inviting place to relax amd ha e a cocktail. Lots of cool things to look at. Food and cocktail options are excellent. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Nice indoor and outdoor seating. Tours are offered but full up quickly. Fun experience we will definitely be going back.

When he finally made it to this place. The wife and I have been waiting to go here for almost 2 years now. And we finally made it. It was worth the wait. Parking on a Monday was very easy and of course we made an appointment so we can sit down and chill out and get our drinks. Even though they were short staffed we still got what we ordered and it tasted great I got the mai tai and it was on point. I like the fact that you had options either sit outside on some tables and some stools or you can sit inside and the Hollywood Brown it was a nice little spot to sit and chill. The service was great even while being understaffed. We decided to look around and check things out and there are many options of stuff that you can buy here as well we will definitely be coming back.

Ask the Community - Napa Valley Distillery

How much is spirit and cocktail tasting?

Depends where you buy! On their site $45 but cheaper on Groupon right now. They also waive the tasting fee if you join the club, which is only $95 per shipment 4x per year. Great deal and so worth it!

How long is the tour and tasting?

As a member since 2015, Tour/Tastings are roughly an hour. Depending on questions and alcohols tasted..... It's a great time and a great education on alcohol.

I won't bother with the things I liked after my card was used for fraudulent online purchases by someone at this location and I believe it was the male bartender...who I just happened to take photos of. I used cash and credit card everywhere accept here where I used my debit card with the male bartender. My friends used their cards with the female bartenders that arrived later and had no issues/fraudulent transactions. I don't know how it happened as I still had my ATM card, but as I headed home that evening I got a fraud alert showing 7 transactions just under 400 made at an online thrift store. They attempted an 8th purchase which was declined by my bank and the only reason I was notified. The place wasn't packed (Maybe 6 other ppl outside my group) and no one else was close enough to scan or get my card information from me other than the male bartender. My bank told me after investigating it was initiated from a Napa IP address and no, I don't live in Napa and of course i didn't make these purchases. I'm filling out a police report as well in hopes this won't happen to anyone else and to ensure that there are consequences for the person that did this. Just made a great day into a foul experience.

As I'm such a big yeller, I was looking at places that were pet friendly, and this place popped up with a full bar, full food menu, and it had a great ambience and a wonderful view on top of that. The restaurant is super clean, it was a bit confusing on how to enter the restaurant as we parked in the rear, and you have to walk to the front of the building to enter. We were greeted with happy faces, seated immediately. The only thing that I would say is a negative is since we had our dogs with us nobody provided them with any water while we were enjoying our lunch. If you're going to be pet friendly, please provide water dishes, or some sort of way for our pups to not stay thirsty. The other part that I was really discouraged about was that if you wanted to sit upstairs, you had to order at the bar and then carry your items up the stairs. This was not feasible as we had two dogs with us and so it was just an uncomfortable situation. The food was ok, I ordered the fried rice came out on a cute little pineapple, my partner had one of their burgers. I ordered one of their Fofo drinks and it was really delicious! But each drink cost around $15-$20 each. Overall for two people that Check was well over $100 and that was just having a drink and a meal each.

Located on top of the Archer Hotel, right in Downtown Napa, it has some wonderful views. At the time of this posting those views are somewhat tainted by nearby construction, but there is still plenty of nice shots. If selfies are your thing, this is a wonderful locale. Very cool, comfortable and casual vibe. Not bougie at all. Plenty of nice areas to sit. Be it at the bar, a table, some seating near the edges of the rooftop, or even some couches and lounge chairs. It's a really nice spot for a small snack or gathering with friends. I find the food to be very good as well. Stand-outs have been the smashburger and wings. Wings especially, as they were cooked very nicely. Truffle fries are a must and the brussels were good as well. I've tried the lobster roll and while decent, was a little disappointed. Service...First-Rate every time On this most recent visit, my Wife and I brought a first-time visitor to Downtown Napa, and I just wanted to thank Lauren for making our visit a lot of fun.
