This was such an incredible and memorable experience! We saw 17 wild cats on our tour, which included cheetahs, clouded leopard, black leopard, sand cat, bobcat, and so much more! I loved that they had a good mix of large and small wild cats. The tours are by reservation only and you can reach out to schedule a tour. They keep group sizes to no more than 8 people as to not overwhelm the wild cats. The tour was extremely informative and you will learn a lot about these incredible animals. Their facility is super clean and they love and care deeply about these wild cats. The tours are meant to educate the public about the decreasing population of wild cats around the world and provide funding for worldwide wild cat conservation projects. It was so incredible to see these amazing animals up close. There are light refreshments halfway through the tour and merchandise you can purchase at the end of the tour. Highly recommend reaching out to book a tour with them or go to one of their open house events!

We…read morecame for the farm tour and cheese tasting and I left feeling underwhelmed but optimistic better days were to come. Patty, the tour guide spoke about the history and her Peruvian partner's substantial impact on the business. She led us down the road to see the chickens, pigs, and goats and encouraged us to peek through the window of the factory, though it was close to the public because it had to stay sanitized. Not as educational as I had hoped Despite being an unusually warm day Patty insisted we do the cheese tasting outside. We tried 5 different types, and oddly I preferred the cows milk cheese despite her specialty being goats milk. I also wasn't enthused about having the tasting on an unstable picnic table surrounded by an endless number of flies we struggled to fight off, and the cheese was steadily melting. Not what I pictured for a cheese tasting. With some additional resources this place could be spectacular.

Patty, the owner, cheated me out of $200 for renting her my goats to eat her pasture. She only…read morechecked prices after the fact and decided to decrease her costs (with a witness) without even asking me. Then she wouldn't pay me and blackmailed me to sign a false receipt! She then rented my goats to another person without informing them of the cost. She thereby involved an innocent party in her scheme, again without asking me if moving my goats to another party's land was OK with me. My goats are my babies. I need to know where they are at all times. She claimed, after the fact, that I should have been driving a fair distance every other day to check on them. This was not part of our original deal. Besides, Patty OWNS A GOAT FARM AND SHOULD KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF GOATS! Patty advertises herself as a goat farmer, but she doesn't even have any of her own goats! This woman and her farm are a run-down fake. Patty is quite elderly and suffers from severe memory loss. She is not even able to walk into her pastures due to physical issues. Don't go there. You will be disappointed in the lack of authenticity. This goat farm is a definite has-been and suffers from deferred maintenance, an owner who can't remember anything, and junk strewn everywhere.

So our expectations going in were that we'd learn a bit more about local Napa history and maybe see a spike or two on the K2 meter. Clearly, Devin and Ellen are pros! Our evening began with a meetup at a local landmark. I won't give away the exact location nor the name of the spirit we encountered, but even *they* were engaging and lively and communicated with our group via the equipment provided, right off the bat. The tour began and ended on time and included stops at multiple local "haunts" dating back to the late 19th Century. Devin and Ellen did their research, and imparted information infused with humorous banter and interactive elements. One odd moment occurred when my phone received a text from my kid, despite it (and my watch) both being on airplane mode. Could that be attributed to the supernatural? Overall, 10/10, would "appear" at this tour again!
