She talked me through the wineries of the region including stories about the owners and which types were popular. She got even more friendly when I said I was on a beer tour and recommended some others that I didn't have time for on this visit. The store is mostly open air with big sliding doors, a handful of tables outside. Inside is a table for tastings, lots of wine shelves around really show off the labels. It was a hit with my friend, so I was happy to be led here.

Emily hosted our tasting and was fantastic. She's incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about wine, especially from smaller, local producers. She shared so many great stories behind the vineyards and had a ton of interesting wines for us to try -- all of which felt thoughtfully chosen. Her recommendations were spot on. We did a tasting for six without a reservation, which was a lucky break. They've only been open about a year, but I have a feeling this place won't stay under the radar for long. The space theme is fun (even the bathroom trash can is cool), and the prices are very reasonable. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying even more new wines. Thanks so much Emily, we can't stop raving about the experience!

This winery does not grow their own grapes, and so is in an industrial part of town. While they did a good job of fixing up an area for customers to sit- traffic is loud. You're literally right beside a major free way and it is very loud if you sit outside. Wines were not our favorite. We would not come back. We prefer a quiet winery with a nice relaxing outdoor setting. That's not what you get here.

The area is sprinkled with cute, bougie little shops--think artisanal jams, boutique goods, and cozy wine lounges that practically invite you to slow down and sip something delicious. There are also plenty of upscale restaurants that give the whole area a polished, elevated feel. We visited on New Year's Day, so a lot of the businesses were closed, which added this slightly gloomy but still strangely enchanting vibe. Even with the quiet streets, the town had a peaceful charm that made wandering around enjoyable. The Napa River Walk is especially lovely--perfect for a slow stroll with scenic views and fresh air. Along the way, we spotted murals that beautifully represent the city's culture and creativity, adding pops of color and personality to the downtown area. Parking was easy to find, with public lots available around First and Main Street. The signage can be a bit narrow and easy to miss, but once you figure it out, it's pretty convenient. Even though we came on a quiet holiday, Downtown Napa still left a great impression. We're definitely planning to come back when everything is open so we can experience the full energy of the area.

Can't wait to come here again when we visit Napa again.

When…read morereaching out to the team at Lewis Cellars they were gladly able to accommodate our group of 4 guests the same day of. When arriving to the property Judy at the front reception area checked us in and welcomed us with a refreshing splash of Chardonnay which is a fine and welcoming invitation to their tasting facilities. Shortly there after we were escorted to our wine tasting area which fortunately was inside (they did have ample outdoor seating) as it was rather warm this day. We were the only group in this tasting area at this time and were seated at a grand long table, all of the glasses and personalized menus were pre set. It was all visually impressive. The ambiance felt refined and polished in the newly reimagined tasting area, Gabriel glassware (for all you winos who know), comfortable upholstered seats and great views of the valley floor beneath. Our hosts name was Jose (if I recall correctly) he was gracious and informative about the wines. He made the experience extra special by pouring some of their reserve wines for our tasting and went above and beyond by bringing a couple of small canapé bites for our group as a special birthday treat!! Kudos to the culinary team as well the food bites were delicious and paired beautifully with the wines. I would love to come back and experience their full food menu offerings over the weekends. We likely went over our tasting experience time however there was no sense of being rushed out as I have experienced at other vineyards, the entire team was welcoming during our tasting. It was all of our first visit at this property and won't be the last. I would recommend this location to anyone wanting to try good Chardonnay's and bold Cabernet's with trendy food offerings.

We were a pretty rowdy group of 7 and I had asked for a more secluded table/pretty views when I made the reservation and they had us in the perfect area.

He answered all our questions thoroughly and took great photos of us and had us laughing the whole time. The wine tasting itself was good. I wish we could choose which wines/tastes we preferred rather than have a set menu.

Wandering Napa on a highly unsuccessful "no spend" day, I came in to No Love Lost for a tasting…read more Blaze (apologies if it's spelled otherwise!) was awesome. He walked me through my various tasting options based on preference, and got me set with a flight to my liking. He entertained my several questions about the process of wine making and whatnot and didn't hesitate to provide more in-depth responses. (I learned a lot and appreciate the time!) The mencia I found to be intriguing because it was so unique to me on the nose- I got more of a toast/smoked/fire on the nose but smooth and drinkable. I had this is my HH glass for the evening. Purchase wise, I took home the Picpoul Orange, as it isn't something I have ever had in my stock and will be perfect for when summer in Manteca hits, next to the pool! When in Napa it's hard to find places where you don't feel like you're priced out before you ever make your way through the threshold, but No Love Lost provides that perfect balance. I really enjoyed the Zin and Cab and will likely be back sooner than later- even if just for a HH glass and some reading time.

We enjoyed our glasses of white and Rose and even tasted a delicious orange wine! The white was smooth and came in stronger than you'd expect. The Rose was super yummy smelling and had some deep notes and that classic rose finish without overkill of sweetness. The vibe and atmosphere here is awesome and so chill, Jason will educate you on all his wines to food your liking, he's a stellar dude. We also got two cans to go!
