    Eric was very knowledgeable about the wines we tried. Definitely liked bs with him. Wasn't a fan of the last kind of pork belly that was served in the pairing. The Chef from Chicago (wish I could remember his name) really killed his sauce and there was a Thai one I like especially a lot too. Only down side is the pork belly flavor, smoke from what I gathered over powered the sauces flavors. So that was a bummer. Maybe each chef doing their own version of the pork belly and not just the sauce would show case their particular style and twist on it. I'd go again though. Keep it up guys!

    We reserved a spot to try their Bacon & Wine pairing, because everything tastes better with bacon, right? It turned out to be pork belly, so even better. 4 sliced prepared differently, each with its own wine selection. My favorite was the English pea purée pork belly. Great spices! My favorite wine was the 2021 Double Barrel , Cab/ petite sirah blend. Our server, Francisco was very knowledgeable and quite enthusiastic about the wines, as he described each bottle poured. The tasting room is located in the heart of downtown Yountville with great views from the high top seating. Come for the bacon, stay for the wine!

    Pork belly wine tasting!!!

    The bacon and wine tasting with Francisco was Amazing! The flavors on each slice of bacon were delicious paired with the Priest wine! Can't wait to come back to eat at the restaurant next! Thanks "Paco!"

    Highly recommend the bacon pairing! I waited too long to write my review so my memory is failing me on names, but fantastic staff! Very friendly and accommodating, with great recommendations and detail regarding the pairings. The bacon was delicious (of course I enjoyed the wine as well!) We also did the cheeseboard which had a great, flavorful selection. Cute tasting room in Yountville that I'll definitely head back to for a repeat tasting.

    Priest Ranch was one of my favorite wineries to visit on our tour of Napa last year. One of the reasons I really loved my experience at the Yountville tasting for what was our 13th winter stop was that it was a bacon and wine pairing. The tasting room in Yountville was very hip and chic, with a sophisticated design that comprised the wine cellar with its glass walls and wooden shelving. While we enjoyed the experience at one of the high top tables, the lounge area is also very lovely with the fireplace and leather sofas. Priest Ranch meticulously crafted a bacon and wine pairing that was supremely magical and bursted with life and luscious levity. Our host on this culinary excursion, Jose, was the man. He was incredibly gracious and accommodating, as we enjoyed the pairings that went wonderfully well with the wine selections. We enjoyed the double barrel and lot releases so much that we picked up a few bottles to ship back home. Additionally, we made some new friends during our tasting, which is always nice when you are imbibing on wine and noshing on bacon. But my oh my... the bacon! Between the marinate, glaze and preparation of each, the bacon was sensational and paired very well with each of the selected wines. I even saw how each compared to the others. Very magical. The synergy of bacon and wine led to an another amazing experience

    We didn't bother to make reservations anywhere and so we just wanted to pop right in randomly to see what the wine tasted like. We were seated outside and had no idea how hot Napa would be that day. I personally enjoyed their Sauvignon Blanc and the red was good as well. It was a very cute place and we definitely will return in the future! Our friends from Ohio have never been to California or Napa so this was a sweet treat!

    So delicious! I wish I could make chicken like this, and paired with the kimchi and as a unique delicious combo. The fries and dipping sauce was so tasty. Definitely add this to your list of restaurants to grab food and sit upstairs while you are in Yountville.

    Absolutely loved priest ranch! We did the taste of terroir tasting first thing on a Friday morning and had the place almost to ourselves. The host was so incredible friendly and knowledgeable, the wines were amazing! Fell in love with the sauv blanc and I'm a red person! We got a lot more tastings that what's standard included they really go above and beyond. The chocolate tasting was a real treat and so different from what's out there. Presentation was gorgeous too. Definitely would come back!

    Cheese plate!

    One of the best experiences I've have at a tasting! We were on our annual girls trip and they accommodated us last minute. James was super super helpful. We will definitely come again. I wish I can give many more stars!

    We stumbled on this gem. Fantastic wines and great service. Jose too very good care of us. Can't wait to open our case of wine when we return home.

    Fun place to go, in Yountville, where you can get a decent smash burger. Seats outside were nice too.

    I came to Napa with a few girl friends and we decided to just stop into Priest Ranch's tasting room in Yountville, little did we know we would be spending our entire day here! We were helped by Juan and Emma. Juan is an amazing host full of knowledge and humor; he helped us pick which tasting we wanted based off our preferences. Emma is incredibly sweet and made this amazing cheese board with the cutest cheese flowers! Our party sat outside where the weather was perfect, we were checked on regularly and enjoyed our beautiful Sunday afternoon By the time we left we were making plans to come back to see the restaurant ,which will be next door and opening in a couple of weeks, and for the live music they will have during winter

    Bacon & Wine Experience
    Melody K.

    There was one day we chose to stay in town and go to tasting rooms within walking distance of our hotel. Priest ranch intrigued me for the Bacon & Wine Experience: four distinct thick cuts of pork belly with four of our wines. I had made reservations well in advance on a Thursday at 3:00. Upon arrival we were able to sit outside which was nice. I will say though, this was probable my least favorite out of the tastings we went to, nothing particularly wrong, just sort of blah. Our Tasting Room Host, introduced himself, poured our wines, served our bacon and left. The pairing was fun to try but not a repeat.

It's safe to say that I know them all quite well by now, but especially the sparkling wine houses in the region. Chandon is absolutely beautiful as a site. They had a renovation a few years ago and it served them very well. This place does wonders for their brand. It's so beautiful that it's our current top choice for a wedding venue, it truly is that special. The way it effortlessly blends between nature/outdoors and indoors is gorgeous. The wood table pieces inside the shop and the curved interior design of the club house are two of my favorite features. Visiting here is always a blast. It only took until our second visit to become a member. Aaron is a fantastic sommelier and truly so knowledgeable about the wines. He's also fantastic to talk to and a wonderful person to have at your table. The wines are great- the étoile brut is our current favorite. For something special the garden spritz is absolutely phenomenal, you truly taste the Earl grey flavor. I could clearly go on for days about how much I love it here. I wish I lived even closer- but that would be dangerous! I'm excited to be back next week for the club harvest social.

We've been club members for 20 years, and the sparkling wines have always been some of our absolute favorites. The staff is incredibly hospitable, welcoming, and attentive, and the food is delicious.

    Another wine tasting room we dim decided to check out and happened to catch my eye due to previous…read morereviews and was right next to Priest Ranch (which was also delicious). Walked in and no one was there to greet us, so we wondered to the back and noticed there was an employee outside helping another party (he was the only one there). He greeted us and shared our tasting options (2 for $50 or by the glass). We opted for a glass of Pinot (holy silky!) outside in the courtyard area (which is shared with neighboring shops and communal bathrooms). Sun was shining and the music playlist was fire. Evan was a great host, checked in a few times, enough to not bother us! Beautiful inside seating with multiple plush couches and chairs and a side room perfect for a larger party. Oh they have a really good smelling candle; sun sipping! Will most definitely be going back.

I highly recommend adding the butter and cheese tasting to your experience, it's some of the best butter you'll ever eat. Our servers both times were really friendly and sat with us most of the time, laughing and joking around with us. I also really love the seating because it feels like you're just sitting at home, with friends, enjoying amazing wines. The prices are pretty high on most of their wines but they are worth it! I'm so thankful our friends introduced us to Handwritten, it's one of our favorite tasting rooms now. Definitely add it to your list if you're going to be visiting Yountville.

It's a very laid back environment focused on Yountville and local artists. We recently attended a winemaker meet and greet event there. Keith Emerson, the winemaker, was very personable with a plethora of information to share. I highly recommend a visit to the Yount Room. If you like white wine blends (Sauvignon Blanc and Semilon) , try the Hibou wine from Cornerstone. Keith Emerson is the winemaker maker.

    Thanks for your response, Matt…read more I think there's an important distinction getting lost here. We do not dispute your staff's right or legal responsibility to refuse alcohol service. If Shawn believed members of our group should not be served, we understand and respect that decision. Our complaint is about how that decision was communicated and how the interaction was handled. If anything, believing that members of a group have been drinking should make calm, respectful communication and de-escalation even more important. The interaction felt judgmental and confrontational from the beginning, before the reactions you describe in your response occurred. We're also not defending every reaction that happened once the situation escalated. Some members of our group became angry and responded in ways they shouldn't have. But citing those later reactions does not address the behavior and communication that preceded them. Regarding the edited review, the reference to having visited other wineries was not removed to conceal that we had been drinking. We were in Napa visiting wineries -- that was never in dispute. The review was edited to focus on what our actual complaint was: the way we were treated. Interestingly, we went to Hill Family Estate afterward, told them exactly what had happened, and were met with kindness and professionalism. That contrast is ultimately why this experience stood out so negatively. Refusing service can certainly be the correct decision while the way that refusal is handled can still be poor hospitality. Both things can be true.
