    Garden surrounding the building exterior

    Lovely garden exterior with an excellent wine tasting and cave tour! We learned so much about the traditional champagne method during the cave tour. Our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable! Would highly recommend! The bubbles were delicious, and there wasn't anything in the tasting I didn't like. Ended up having several bottles shipped back home to Oklahoma. Note: you need to reserve this one in advance, and the price point might seem higher for some, but it's definitely worth it!

    We loved this place. What a great tour! I was fascinated by the making process, storage process and finishing! Amazing. We had an afternoon tour with Francesca and she was wonderful. I enjoyed seeing photos of their wine featured at many presidential functions throughout the years. I asked a ton of questions and learned so much. The cave is so cool. This place is family owned and has a long history. The tasting was done inside the cave. We tasted everything!!!! I had so many favorites. The blanc de Blanc is my favorite. We really should've become members. Luckily they have some of their offerings at local shops such as total wine. But they have so much more ay the site. And it was completely no pressure to buy anything. Parking was plentiful. The grounds are gorgeous. It's a bit of a drive but totally worth it. Be sure to book in advance. They limit group sizes.

    AMAZING vineyard and wines (if you like sparkling wines). I didn't catch our tour guides name, unfortunately, but she was amazing- she had short blonde hair. Full of information and just overall great. This was our first time to this vineyard and I will definitely be back. All of the sparkling wines were DELICIOUS!

    Best sparkling wine (champagne) produced in America hands down, in my opinion. Available at BevMo and TotalWine and restaurants. All sparkling wines made completely via the traditional French méthode champenoise. All bottles hand riddled, cave aged, and naturally carbonated from two fermentations. Several sparkling varieties available including regular and Rose types. Still wines also available. Unique old hand dug caves with natural lichen on the ceilings, just like traditional old wine caves. Great and informative cave tour with lots of detailed information on the production process with tasting of several different varieties at the end. Very romantic trip. Great ambiance! Great champagne quality and taste! Very informative and friendly tour!

    amazing sparkling wine! although I didnt book early enough in advance to do a full cave tour (will have to try again next time), we were still able to do the all-sparkling wine tasting in the cave! it was such a unique and fun experience. jeff was very funny and made the entire experience a blast for us. the whole property is very beautiful and they have the cutest cat named lola. :) this was the perfect start to a long day of wine drinking.

    Sparking Wine Tasting

    You can never go wrong here with their fantastic sparking wine! They are renowned for a reason. That reason being their sparking wines can absolutely compete with champagne. Once you taste their blanc to blanc you will understand. My personal favorite was the blanc de noirs. I enjoyed every single sparking wine I tasted as most were refreshing and crisp! Not overly sweet thank goodness. We enjoyed our tasting on their lovely patio which was covered by a generous amount of foliage, perfect for a hot day. The entire staff was kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Learning about the history made the tasting experience that more enjoyable!

    The cave tour with tastings was fantastic! The staff were super friendly, and the history of the property and family and wine is super interesting. I previously had no idea it was served at the White House state dinners several times over. The caves and processes that take place in the caves like hand turning the bottles and how they are stacked is remarkable. The wines themselves are delicious too!

    Bubbles in the morning! Best way to start your day! We enjoyed a tour of the caves and then after a little walk got to tasting some of the current winery exclusive sparklings. After our tasting we went back to the shop and were able to taste a few more which we ended up buying. I felt a little rushed tasting in the cave, but once in the shop, I felt I could slow down and really taste and figure out which were my favorites to take home and enjoy. Fun way to start your day!

    The fourth winery on our Napa Valley wine tour this summer found us embarking on the first proper wine cave tour of our trip, Schramsberg, located up in Calistoga. Having been around since the 1860s, Schramsberg's caves were excavated with pick axes, and you can see the marks they made to this very day. Fortunately, their caves have held up incredibly well for more than 160 years where they store rows upon rows of exquisite sparkling wine. I felt a little like Charlie walking into Wonka's chocolate factory when the double arched doors opened and we entered the cave. T was an amazing guide who took us through the passageways that stored the sparkling wine aging in the bottles, stacked like jenga rows. It was pretty neat. As we went deeper into the caves, we discovered this moss like substance that had been forming for a while on the ceiling and along the sides of the cave that T described as lichen and said had many positive qualities such as indicating the quality of good air. They looked like spider webs that spiders in Australia spun. But we were told it is quite harmless as T specifies, the more lichen, the cleaner the air. We saw some very old casks that were apparently lost in a bet then won back the same way. We were shown how they get the yeast out of the bottle through a process called riddling. Then we had our cave tasting, which was magical as we had some cool reserve sparkling wines that Schramsberg only hold exclusively to the tasting room and don't distribute. Naturally, I bought a wine club membership. Schramsberg was definitely my favorite winery to tour and experience on my trip to Napa Valley.

    Founded in 1863 by Jacob Schramburg made his home then his winery on Diamond Mountain. This winery has a great history hosting British royalty and US presidents. We were part of a private cave tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Took us through the caves and the wine making process and shared moments in history. Even how a game of poker played out. We ended in a wine tasting room, pretty fancy. The charcuterie was top shelf. Cheese was paired with the wine. Additionally had Spanish Marcona almonds, dried apricots and cherries. My favorite pairings were: Caminate del Cielo Noirs with Le Secret de Compostelle, amazing cheese. Jaime Estate Cabernet with Prairie Breeze Cheddar. Not really a cab drinker but loved this. This is the best wine tasting ever!

    3 years going to Napa Valley and this was the most unique winery and one of the best tasting on my top three. Here's why - the mountain setting and secret chambers of their wine creation process, the extraordinary quality and taste of the sparkling wines, and the scientific process shared with the group of how the wine was made. You can't beat this process put together. We visited this winery to fulfill our Sparkling Saturday trip and it was such a win. My favorite bottles has to be the 2019 Skywalker Blanc De Noirs and the Brut Rose (which are the final wine bottles on the tasting roster). Crisp, bubbly, some tint of fun grasp, and some sweetness to add. What makes the wine unique here is their filtration process and extra efforts to level the yeast for removal. And some bottles with limited bubbles help reduce the chances of harsh hangovers. I can see why this winery is many known figureheads' favorites. Going through the wine cellar in the mountains was such a cool experience to witness the creation process head on. The very first winery in the Calistoga region nonetheless. Keep in mind there will be an extra car ride up in this mountain to get to the wine cellar. If you're able to book more than one hour for a tasting, defintely do so. We had too much fun here and certainly wasn't ready for it to end. Happy to finally cross off this winery on our bucketlist that has been on for a long time.

    Although eerie looking it's actually very beneficial to have in this environment.

    Our party had a lovely time here. They have such a lovely spot hidden away off the main pass. There are cats on the property to control the pests in case you have allergies just keep your distance. It was amazing walking down into the tunnels that were dug out over a century ago. The history and ambiance inside was amazing. I felt as if I was in Meatloaf's music video "I Would Do Anything For Love, but I Won't Do That". Candles, lighting, even webbing (and your tour guide will give you the trivia on that). The tasting was lovely and fun to do. My group was so happy we went.

One woman made sure everyone knew she was a member and kept mentioning how she had already seen the castle too many times and was bored of it, saying she only came to bring her family for a birthday. It kind of disrupted the experience for the rest of us. When we got to the torture chamber she also started making some really inappropriate remarks, which was a bit uncomfortable for the group. Aside from that situation, we still had a great time and really enjoyed the tour and tastings. Overall it was a memorable experience and definitely worth visiting if you're in Napa. 5 stars for Eli!!

I wish I would've gotten something special for my occasion while there. Like a signed bottle or something marking the special occasion. It was just the perfect experience all the way around. interesting that it was also the 50th anniversary of the Chardonnay that made Chateau Montelena & Napa Valley famous. Of course, we checked out and bought 2 bottles of reds at the end of the tasting without even thinking about buying the white. So disappointed that didn't occur to me to this morning. I mean the red cab's are just to amazing on there own. Ok so here is how the visit went. When we showed up early at 9:30am, we actually meant to just walk around the lake and view the birds. We made no reservations as we figured the place was fully booked for months. So we just wanted to at least see the famous vineyard.. we drove up and we immediately noticed the beautiful grounds. I mean stunning in every way. We even watched and photographed a beautiful white swan gracefully move throughout the lake. Afterwards, we walked up the path to the chateau and was presented with a old historic and charming building residence. Absolutely stunning, a complete representation of the movie bottle shock. We continued to walk around the building where we were allowed to enter the wine tasting room. At first, we were unsure of what to expect. I believe her name was Lynn invited us to have a tasting. Everyone was so gracious and nice. Just felt so sophisticated & elegant in every way. Lynn was so nice and inviting that I just wanted to say thanks to her again. You made our tasting feel amazing. We ended up buying 2 bottles of red cab when we were there to avoid paying for the tasting. I mean I'm so happy that I got to experience this winery. The history and quality wine making really is the standard for the area. A complete must visit if your ever in Calistoga. Thank you.

It was around 5pm on a Thursday and we were the only ones around. The tasting cost $40 for 6 pours, starting with a rose and ending with a Cabernet Sauvignon. I am not very fond of reds but all the ones that were on the tasting menu that day were very good. The rose was my favorite. I was talking to the owner and he mentioned that he prefers to be out making wine instead of pouring and I can see that. Also, the pours were very tiny. There was not much information shared about the wine etc, he left the bottle with the information side turned towards you to read up on your own.
