    Hidden gem! Gorgeous setting tucked against the mountain side in Yountville- small production amazing delicious wine! Our hostess Emily was delightful- warm and friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience unforgettable.

    Would recommend this unique winery as part of a Napa Valley experience any day! With a fantastic and very private location nestled in the hills off Silverado trail and such an unusual architectural style, Quixote is worth a visit. We had a tasting with small bites and a flight of Cabs and petit Syrah's which were all memorable. Pricing was reasonable and our educator was very well informed!

    Wines - 5/5 Service (Kevin) - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Absolutely LOVED this experience. Amazing red wines, beautiful winery and top tier service. Kevin was our host and sat with us during the tastings to discuss each wine. Came on a Tuesday at ~11am.

    Amazing experience especially with the fabulous Patty. We all purchased 2011 Magnums and can't wait to go back for more. Lovely view and tasty wines. Worth. Trip! We will be back!

    Tasting our first 3 wines at Quixote.

    I can't begin to say enough good things about this winery. We had an amazing experience here! Robbie, one of the wine makers gave us a tour of the barrel room and spent our entire tasting with us, going over in detail each wine we tasted. The wines were paired with a tasty cheese tray which were perfect with the wines. Each wine we tasted was phenomenal. The 2018 Cab was by far our favorite. If you like reds, I highly suggest this winery. It's one of the best in the valley.

    Sleepy gem with fantastic petite Syrah and Cabernets. Estate wines and lovely / unique architecture. Appreciated the host we had on Sunday and suggest you visit. This is on the same back road as Stags' so check out Quixote especially if you're visiting Stags'.

    Quixote is one of our favorites. We found this quaint winery a few years ago as part of a private tour that we arranged to find some wineries off the beaten path. We were looking for some great Sirah and Cabs and this does not disappoint. The decor is a bit eccentric, but the staff and tastings cant be passed up. Lynn will take great care of you, walk you through the history and vintages and ensure you are able to taste all that you can. Covid regulations are in place these days with small groups all getting their own room or outside but honestly it didn't seem that different from non-Covid times IMO. Appreciate a winery that isn't in a rush, isn't crammed with people, and staff that is willing to pull out a coravin and allow customers to taste what suits their palate, even if its not part of the tasting. If you are like us, and over multiple tastings per day in crowded wineries this is your spot. Great wine and great people.

    By reservations only, you can get the chance to experience the unique architecture that Quixote has to offer. Once you have a glass of wine in your hand, take a moment to really grasp how much thought went into the creation of the wines and the atmosphere of this winery. You might even notice that every single door frame and windowsill is a different shape and color! I can't think of another winery as unique as Quixote, just be sure to call ahead and make reservations since each tasting includes a barrel room room and cheese plate!

    Working fall harvest here with a renowned winemaker, who is also the consulting winemaker for Quixote. The winery itself is nestled up against the mountains, in the Stags leap District, right next door to Stags Leap Winery and Shafer. The vineyards are sustainably farmed and the winery itself is still family owned and operated. The winery's unique architecture alone is worth the visit, with a distinct Moroccan style and amazing hand cut tiles. The petite syrah (terrific) and cab are a nice side benefit! We spent time punching down some caps, cleaning equipment, squeegeeing floors - the usual. Arrived just in time to miss fruit sorting (whew), but had the privilege of tasting through the entire portfolio as well as the upcoming release through the week. The evolution is amazing. They make some amazing wines here - and do so in a very relaxing and refreshing environment. For sure the 2013 is going to be fantastic!

    Matthew was our incredible host, and the food pairings were amazing with their delicious wines. I'm usually not a fan of organic wines but this place opened my eyes to their beautiful country setting and the vino of course was our favorite part.

    Yeah - only 3 stars. Two stars for the wine - one tossed in simply because of the architecture and overall experience. BUT - let me preface this review by saying that I had such a good time here. I was here with 4 good friends, and it's just one of those thing you are glad you did... blazes itself in your memory. Quixote Winery is a bit hard to find. It's off of Silverado Trail but there is only a post with the number on it - - no signage at all. Once you figure this out, you drive up a long driveway, curvy - and then you finally arrive on the property. Architecturally, it's a very interesting building with impressive landscaping. Built by Hundertwasser, and supposedly his very last project, too - the building is unusual, rather Picasso-style, which in my book, means that a child with colorful clay COULD have built this place. But it is actually tasteful, and it is unique. Not having everything symmetrical was his whole point, being free in expression, and extremely colorful. The story goes that when he saw the final outcome, the owner said that was it was perfect. Hundertwasser looked at the building, entered, took a hammer and smashed a pillar, cracking it, and said, "Now it's perfect." It's an appointment only winery - - and there is a short tour with history. It turns out that this is owned by the original owner of Stag's Leap Winery. After he sold that, he decided to open up a winery in which he can make wine the way he always intended to, and hoped to do, before Stag's Leap had become such a huge business. Therefore, he kept this portion of land and built Quixote Winery on it. Interesting fact #1 is that all bottles here are screw top. I actually don't mind. Interesting fact #2 is that their shining star is a Petite Sirah - - not a Cab, not even a regular Syrah, but a Petite Sirah. No whites made here. NONE. Interesting, and totally unrelated fact #3: did you know that 86% of wine is consumed on the day it is purchased? Thought still a young winery - - they have 2 lines here. Quixote, their premium line, and Panza, their secondary line. The lady who gave us a tour informed us that they are trying to combine the lines more, as they had 2 Cabs, 2 Petite Sirah, 2 of everything. In the future, they will only have one of most varieties, but strangely enough, most of them under the Panza label. First off, the label is heinous. Second - - the Quixote label, also designed by Hundertwasser, is actually quite attractive. Why they would choose to produce more wine under Panza, I do not know. Having said that - - I had an enjoyable time on this tour. Six of us on this tour were seated in a private room with an outdoor patio overlooking the grounds and served up 5 varietals, and their Syrah added in at the end because I requested a tasting. The lady was really nice, pleasant, and knew her history, but in all honesty, I have NEVER seen anyone drink along with us during the tastings. That was pretty cool. All of us ended up buying a bottle of the Petit Sirah at $60 each.... it was pretty interesting. All the other wines fell flat at the end, there was no depth to the wine, and it would start off like it would explode - - only to die a quick death at the back of the mouth. Very bizarre. The Syrah did the same thing -- but after breathing for a bit, it improved a lot. The other bottles had already been opened prior to our arrival, so I am not sure what was happening there. Their Panza table wine was actually better than the Cabernet. Now even though the wines themselves were not as impressive to me as, say, Joseph Phelps, Opus One, or Cakebread - - I would definitely recommend going here for the experience of the tour itself. Very interesting architecture, and the place is built like it's someone private home, and you're simply in their dining room sipping on wine. It was a lot of fun, and the lady staff there (whose name I have forgotten) was very hospitable. $25 per person for the tour - - - and when you make reservations, they charge you BEFORE you arrive. Do not book unless you are certain you will be showing up. Thanks, Jung, for getting us on such a fun tour! Photos uploaded.

Each wine was distinctive, balanced, and delicious in its own way. You could really tell the care and craftsmanship behind every pour. What really stood out was the hospitality. Our host was not only incredibly thoughtful but impressively knowledgeable. She explained where each wine's grapes were grown, described the flavor profiles we could expect, and added insights into how the terroir influenced the wine -- all without it ever feeling too technical or over our heads. Even better, our designated driver was offered iced tea, lemonade, or an Arnold Palmer, which I really appreciated. It's always a plus when tasting rooms consider the full group's experience, not just the drinkers. The vibe was so warm and relaxing, we ended up staying for over two hours. It felt less like a stop and more like a true experience. Definitely one of the highlights of our time in downtown Napa.

My favorites were the 2022 Primitivo and 2021 Malbec, which we bought a few bottles of. Ambiance - Secluded private winery. Close to main Downtown Napa, but far enough away for privacy and a feeling of being far away. Appointment only, so very private and customer focused. Typically no more than 3 parties at a time. Today was considered a very busy day as there were 4 parties including us, lol. Gated private estate. 200 acres. Plenty of parking, especially since hosting only 3 guests at a time. Events - See their website. Well behaved dogs are allowed outdoors. Service - Skip is a history buff and we both talked for hours... After leaving, well really the next day (LOL), I realized that our tasting was supposed to be only 60 minutes. I guess because we got along so well, we stayed until closing! And he gave me a glass with a generous splash and let us walk the property alone after they left! So welcoming and trusting. Price - Depends on which tasting and what you buy; see their website for prices. Tastings range from $50 to $100 per person. One free designated driver allowed. Tasting fees waived with wine equivalent purchases. Hike tours $75 per person ($60 for club members). See their website for more information.

The views weren't the best (we were drinking on the sidewalk and there's a parklet too.) The 5 wines for $29 was not bad, but the size of the pours was lacking. The first pour was the smallest and then slowly they seemed to give us more (maybe they heard me!) Honestly, the pricier wines tasted better.

There's not a lot of great matcha places in all of 707 (Benicia, Vallejo, Fairfield, etc) and this experience had to be the most expensive and least inviting..with the least flavoring. It was straight milk with a dash of matcha. I asked for caramel and I taste nothing.
