Our first visit was last year when we came up to celebrate our wedding anniversary and my brother and his wife suggested this place as they are members. We had never been, even though we had come to Napa before, but they were excited to have us visit and celebrate here and when we saw it we understood why. We immediately fell in love! The view Rombauer has is one that takes our breath away. It's a gorgeous location and the wine is delicious. We had such a wonderful time, we brought some charcuterie items and just enjoyed every tasting so much that we ended up buying some bottles. Now every time we go to visit my brother we ask them to take us. Always look forward to enjoy the views, the wine and the service. Yes, service is fabulous also! Beautiful place, we're in love! read more

From the jump, everything was a 10/10. We visited on Valentine's Day during their special and were able to take advantage of the two-for-one tasting -- which made the experience even sweeter. The staff was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. And the vineyard itself? Absolutely beautiful. The scenery alone sets the perfect tone for a romantic outing. They truly helped make our Valentine's Day feel special. I would definitely recommend Rombauer to anyone looking for great wine, great vibes, and an unforgettable experience. Don't forget to visit the cave! read more

This was my favorite winery of all that we visited on our most recent trip to Napa. Normally we hang out in the Sonoma area, but our friends wanted to check out the Napa area as well, so we chose this place. The grounds are gorgeous! We arrived at 10am and they had our table marked and ready. The young man who took care of us was very knowledgeable and even gave us a recommendation for lunch that we actually went to afterward and it was very good. The wine here is amazing! I have always loved their Chardonnay, but the reserve Chardonnay is a whole new level. Our friends ended up buying a case and having it sent home. read more

David (our wine host) was absolutely outstanding. At just 24 years old, he has an incredible depth of wine knowledge that truly blew us away. Growing up in the wine business has clearly given him a passion and expertise well beyond his years. Beyond his knowledge, David was friendly, engaging, and made our entire tasting experience both enjoyable and memorable. If you're visiting Rombauer for a tasting, do yourself a favor and ask for David--you won't be disappointed! read more

Rombauer Vineyards - Our view from our tasting table - Wineries Near Me - St. Helena, California

Rombauer is a true testament to all things Napa Valley. Those bold and buttery Chardonnays are an absolute staple around these parts. But what I love about Rombauer is that although they're known for their Chards, they offer soooo much more. A visit to their tasting room could quite literally blow you away if you've never been here before. First and foremost, the scenery is unparalleled. Their tasting room is perched up high on a hill, revealing all of the beauty that Napa Valley has to offer. You've got the vineyards and those lush green rolling hills beneath you. A seat on the deck is perfect spot to relax here in my opinion. You've got the casual environment plus the majestic views right in the forefront. What I also adore about Rombauer is that as big as their name is, they still have a very casual and welcoming feel to their tasting room. I'm not opposed to dropping some serious dough in Napa Valley (it's inevitable at this point). However, it's nice to know that there are still some affordable, casual, and unpretentious places to relax in this area. I love that I can drop by and enjoy a Frosé or a glass of their delicious Sauvignon Blanc on the deck or in the garden. Speaking of the garden; it is glorious! I love taking a stroll through their gardens whilst casually sipping on the goods. They have seated tastings, cave tours, and self paced tastings (which I really enjoy). You can also take a peak inside of their wine cave which is really neat. Parking is valet only and the gentlemen who run the valet are AWESOME! I love chatting with them when I visit. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. Last but certainly not least, the WINE! Ironically, their Sauv Blanc is my favorite wine! But their Chards are definitely top notch. As someone who wasn't previously a fan of buttery Chards, Rombauer turned me into a believer over the years. They are so tasty, especially when paired right. Their Zinfandel is another favorite of mine. When the sun is blazing and I need to cool down, a Frosé on the deck absolutely HITS! It has become my new favorite summer excursion. Love me a Frosé with a view! Rombauer is a Napa staple for a reason. I hope they never change. read more

I arrived with some friends, to our surprise, they have valet service, they take your car as soon as you get towards the building, there wasn't a charge, but of course we tipped them, they seemed to be very happy with that. At least you don't have to look for parking right It was an exquisite, absolutely gorgeous day; the views here are stunning. Our server, Jennifer, was so sweet, and we had such a great time chatting with her. Oh my, we laughed, (Jennifer-her photo shoot) inside joke lol When I come back, she has to be our server, no question. She is the best! The wine here is absolutely exceptional, from the sparkling to the Chardonnay and those beautiful reds, plus a yummy Zinfandel. We even got to try a couple of dessert wines. If you like dessert wines, you gotta try these. I cannot wait to come back. What a beautiful afternoon, drinking, excellent wines, and hanging out with wonderful friends, that's what I call a perfect afternoon. Come on down, my friends, you will not be disappointed. Cheers, my friends and SYOY xo 11/19/25 read more

We went for the self-paced tasting, which included at least five selections. Once you finished your first glass, you could go over to the counter to get the next one. I was impressed by their Zinfandel, it was really jammy! Great atmosphere with beautiful natural, hilly views. We also checked out their wine cave, which was fun. After our tasting, we picked up a bottle of their 2022 Proprietor Selection Zinfandel, which is only available at the winery. Loved the blackberry, vanilla, and spice flavors! read more

This was my first wine tasting experience and I could not be more happy about it!

Spectacular views! Not to be missed! After lunch we booked a wine tasting at the Rombauer Vinyards in Napa Valley. It's one of the more affordable tastings at $25 per person for 5 wines. I chose the Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnays, a Pinot, Merlot and the Chardonnay late harvest dessert wine. All very delicious. I didn't love the Chardonnays since they were typical California- Oak and butter notes. But what an amazing view and the server/host was incredibly knowledgeable! read more

A sincere thank you to Phillip and the entire Rombauer team for their incredible hospitality and outstanding customer service.

Although we enjoyed their wines immensely, this review is for the picnic experience at Rombauer. Six months before our trip to Napa, I called and reserved an outside table for the 5 of us. As long as you buy their wine, you can use the picnic tables. It's technically limited to 2 hours but we spent about $300 on wine so they didn't mind us overstaying. At entrance, we checked in with the host and he gave us a map of the property and directed us to our picnic table//area. Covered by a variety of trees, including oak and maple and overlooking the valley and St Helena, I challenge you to find a more picturesque picnic area that serves world class wines. ( see photos) We went in early December. The weather was a perfect crispy 55F and the trees were alit in autumn colors. You do take your chances with an outside table if it's stormy. But they did provide a big umbrella which came in handy to shield us from the sun. Knowing that they didn't sell food there, we went to Sunshine Food just 5 minutes away in St. Helena and got a plethora of picnic foods ( see photos) They do not serve wine to you so you have to walk up to the main house where you can purchase wines by the glass or bottle and bring it back to your table . I didn't mind the trips to get wine because I got to walk through their beautiful garden each time. Parking was easy right at the front of the winery. The staff was very friendly and professional. Overall, it was a fantastic Napa experience. We will definitely be back! Happy Traveling!! read more

We were in the area and decided spontaneously to stop by. We didn't have a reservation so we would have settle for just a glass or two and enjoy the view. Well we got better than that! We were included in their wine tasting, learned about Rombauer Vineyards and enjoyed the amazing view. Our host was amazing, very knowledgeable and professional. We enjoyed the wine and had great conversations and did I mention the view? We ended up purchasing a bottle and paid for our tastings. We didn't have enough time to think about being members just yet so we'll have to revisit again! After our tasting we did a quick walk around the vineyard and soaked in the views. There are cute little sections as you walk around like "secret garden"... So beautiful and relaxing. You'll have to check it out for yourself. read more

As a Rombauer wine club member for over 10 years, I never visit Napa without stopping by this beautiful winery. Had a reservation for myself and 3 friends, one who was visiting from Paris, France. She was so excited to try a Zinfandel wine for the first time. As usual the grounds and the views are absolutely breathtaking at Rombauer. We were greeted by our fabulous host, David Ryan. David was friendly, engaging, professional and very knowledgeable. He and my Parisian friend got along very well, and she was very impressed. As usual, my favs were the Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel. My Parisian friend also loved the Joy Late Harvest Chardonnay (she took a bottle with her). Thank you David for making this visit a delightful, memorable experience! Cheers!! read more

Rombauer Winery, Calistoga, CA - March 20, 2025 We're members here and have enjoyed their wines for many years. We made a 2 pm appointment for indoor tasting on a Thursday. Member tasting is free and non-members is $25 per person. We were the only ones tasting indoors. It was such a beautiful day that everyone else was outdoors, but we were happy to be indoors. They have recently removed the indoor L-shaped bar and put in several tables. It was very nice when we were there, but I can imagine the space gets pretty loud if all the tables were full. They were very kind to let us bring in our 5 month old spaniel that rested at our feet. Our Server's name was Ethan. He recently moved to Napa from Riverside about a month ago. He was a wealth of knowledge when it came to the Rombauer wines we were tasting, as well as wine and the wine industry in general. We tasted a Sauv. Blanc, a couple Chardonnays, a couple cabs., the Santa Lucia Pinot Noir, and the California Zin. All delicious. We got the Gary's Pinot Noir, a couple Chardonnays, and the California Zin. Ethan gave us some suggestions about other wineries to try. read more

My girlfriend and I were on our way back home after a week up in Healdsburg and thought we'd stop by out of curiosity (without any reservation), as Rombauer is a well known standard for bubbly. I don't usually take the time to leave reviews, but I really wanted to after the exceptional service provided by Kevin Ramirez. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and provided an amazing overall experience. I'm so glad we stopped by and didn't miss out on the fantastic wine and valley views. I highly recommend this winery to those visiting area and want a high quality service/experience from the Napa area. read more

A beautiful hidden gem in Saint Helena. The tasting room is at the top of the hill overlooking the vineyards, and the view is magnificent to say the least!

Valet to hosts. Very clean a garbage can available at the site and beautiful gardens and eclectic artistic life size cows structures. Free aluminum bottled water where you get the wines. Dog and family friendly. Wines faves are their award winning carneros Chardonnay and yummy zins my fave is El Dorado. read more

Rombauer was one of my favorite winery experiences in Napa Valley. We arrived, and they do insist on valleting your car. From there we approached the host stand for our garden reservation. The host quickly took us to a large picnic table with the most stunning views that said "reserved" for us! I loved the touch of having our name on the table. We did not pay for a formal tasting and were direct to order at the 'Wines By The Glass' counter. You could order a self-guided tasting flight at the counter if you choose. We decided on two half bottles to share - their famous Chardonnay and their Cabernet Sauvignon. Upon first smell and sip it was easy to see why Rombauer is so famous for their delicious Chardonnay - and I'm not typically a Chardonnay person! They also allow you to bring your own food "picnic" style, so we unloaded our cooler of cheese, crackers and waters to enjoy with our Rombauer wines. Their garden is stunning. I love the meadering path with tables nicely spaced out which made the seating feel luxurious and private. The sculptures and flowers throughout the garden created a paradisal atmosphere that was so much fun to explore. Inside, their facility were the restrooms, which were clean and easily accessible, and all of the people who paid for the formal tastings. At the bottom of the garden is the entrance to their caves which are included in their cave tasting! We did not purchase the cave tasting - but it seems like a very interesting and fun experience! read more

We visited Napa back in September and I'm finally getting around to reviewing all the wineries we visited. We visited Rombauer and did their Seated Outdoor Tasting. It was such a great value- only $25 for 6 tastings + 2 additional ones our host Joe brought out. By far the cheapest wine tasting we encountered in Napa. The property had recently changed ownership and we had thought Joe had been working there for years and stayed with the sale. Nope, he had only been there a couple of months! He was so knowledgeable, so you would never have guessed it. He was hosting a few tables at one time, but always checked in and made sure we had wine in our glass and water. He told us a little bit about the property and invited us to stay after our tasting to get a wine by the glass. This was one of the louder winery tastings we had during our trip due to it being busy during our tasting (lots of outdoor tastings at the time because the weather was great). Definitely a fun little tasting to add to your Napa trip. read more

Another staple if you're in the Napa Valley/St. Helena. Such a chill vibe & beautiful views. Walk ins are accepted which can be tough when a lot of wineries are appointment only.

My review is more about the workings of the wine club than the wine. I love Rombauer wines and have been drinking them for many years. I used to live in the Napa area and recently moved back east to my home. I joined the wine club to get some of my favorite Zin and have been happy with the wine, as always. The wine is terrific and I would tell anyone who is in the Napa/St. Helena area to check out their wines as they are yummy. The wine club is a wonderful way to get wines if you are out of the CA area, but I hate when I get an offer for a sale and really it is only a partial sale. The wine club discount is always considered part of the sale. I chatted with whoever answered their wine club number and they were not sympathetic and instead a bit cheeky. They are not typically customer centric and expect you should be honored to buy their wines. I enjoy their wines, but have many opportunities to get other equally delicious wines without the attitude. I just wanted to note the lack of customer consideration. I have been to the vineyard and had many wonderful tasting experiences. The wine is always delicious, the vineyard is a lovely place for a tasting, but in the end it is just wine and product. read more
