This winery was a great location with several beautiful Sequoia trees scattered all across the grounds. The wine tasting room itself was small and quaint, with a few small high tops and a bar to sit at. You were able to do the wine tasting of all red wines, or all Cabernet wines (I liked that they offered both options), for a decent price. Probably not the place to go if you like only white wines. Thought the wine was just average, as was the tasting experience itself. Sounds like if you decide to visit, the wine AND food pairing would be the way to go (based on previous positive reviews). read more

Everything here is amazing!!! Where do I even start?! Wine quality: EXCELLENT! We started off with a Haire Vineyard Chardonnay that was not buttery (I don't care for buttery chards) easy going, with hints of lemon and apple, and some minerals. This might be one of the best chards I've had! The Atlas Peak cab was also amazing! For a mountain cab, it was very gentle and not particularly bold or overwhelming. Overall, their wines pair very well with food, and that's important! Service: AMAZING! Gary helped me with my wines and he was very knowledgeable and just a fun person to chat with! Kate was also very helpful! After I left, I called the winery and Vicki helped me out. She was very courteous and helpful! I really can't say enough about the high quality of the service here! Bonus: they serve food here and the the items on the menu are delicious! We ordered a pizza and some fried olives and had the opportunity to experience firsthand how well the wines paired with food! Wished more places would serve food to go with the wines. Wine Club: Fully customizable! How awesome is that?! A lot of places will either ship their most expensive wines or force a wine that's not very good onto their club members, but here, I get to pick specifically the wines I enjoy, and I'm very grateful for that! Great experience! I enjoyed this place, but more importantly, the wife enjoyed it (happy wife, happy life )! read more

Friendly staff, good lineup. I love the cambium! They recently introduced food paring with the tasting...DON'T DO IT. It actually interfered with the wine. So even if you're a club member and can get the food paring for free...resist the temptation. read more

Great food, great wine best hospitality. Taste world class cabs under the trees. Try the syrah read more

I had such a great experience at Sequoia Grove. My host was kind and so knowledgeable on the history of the winery and its production methods. The food they brought out for me was exceptional and paired deliciously with the wine, especially their Syrah. Huge fan of their truffle popcorn and Cabernet meatballs! Thank you to the entire team at Sequoia Grove for your great hospitality and warmth! read more

What can I say, well this lovely establishment guided me and my palate to appreciate red wine. Sip by sip with lil tastes of the Cabernet, Merlot and more. Delicious memories. It has changed a lot in the 30 plus year since but the wine still holds a special place in my heart. Cheers! read more

No greeting upon arrival. Did not feel welcomed in any way and were shoo'd away after inquiry about glass and bottles.

If I had to recommend a place to do a membership, this is definitely top 3! Not only are the wines amazing, but it's the only place where u can share your membership with friends and family that come to town without you having to be there! Lowest bottles were about $30 and the higher were about $165...so not bad when considering other places are usually $50-75 for the lower bottles. Here your membership is buy 3 bottles per quarter vs a dollar minimum at other places. So say you like the $30 wine...that's $90 per quarter, vs other spots where it is a $200+ per quarter membership fulfillment. I bought a bottle of the 2015, $155, which I was told will last a number of years. I really liked the 2013, $165, tho so decided on our following trip to get a couples bottles of that, plus a few others. Definitely looking forward to using my Coravin to start on some of these wines I've picked up. They were also doing a Christmas sale, so wines are even less! The ambiance with the little private fireplace was amazing and the customer service we were given when we went back to pick up wine...top notch! Highly recommend trying this place, especially the Cambium tasting. They do have other items not on the menu that are good as well. read more

Nice little gem here, tucked away with a beautiful open outdoor seating. I was pleasantly surprised how spaced out all the tables were - very Covid friendly so I felt very safe coming here. They offer two types of tastings - current release or single vineyard (all reds) and also a cheese & charcuterie pairing ($20). I was able to try the current release tasting ($40) as well as the vineyard tasting ($50) and was very pleased with what I tasted. Prior to starting the tasting, we were poured a Chardonnay not on the list and it was a great palette cleanser- a nice crisp start. I enjoyed the 2017 Haire Vineyard Chardonnay as well as the 2016 Reserve cabernet sauvignon from the current release tasting, and from the single vineyard tasting, the 2015 Tonella Vineyard and 2016 Stagecoach Vineyard Cabarnet were both outstanding. Yes I ended up buying 4 bottles in which by then I realized joining the membership to get the discount made sense. Haha. Yes, they got me but I walked away with some very good wines. I wish I could remember her name but we also had a great server. She's a student training to be a sommelier and was super knowledgeable and kind. If you get her, you're in luck! read more

First class! Wines are really, really good- not the overblown big Napa Cabs but rather more old school classic Napa which are just so well balanced! Visiting is so nice and special and their Wine Club Program is also really great. Brian provides elevated concierge service making recommendations and ensuring that we know our options in the program. read more

We had a great experience overall and we especially enjoyed our tasting with Gary. He was extremely knowledgeable and his enthusiasm for wine was contagious. We loved the beautiful setting under the sequoia trees, and the laid back atmosphere made us feel very comfortable. Definitely recommend a visit to Sequoia Grove. read more

We've been here a couple times for tastings as wine club members and the experience has been fantastic every time. We most recently had Gary help us and I can't say enough great things about him. He was very knowledgeable, charming, entertaining, and funny. As for the wine, Sequoia Grove is known for their reds, specifically their Cabernet Sauvignon, and they do an amazing job! They have a great variety from Cabs you can just drink on their own and enjoy, to more full-body Cabs that would pair well with a nice steak dinner or cheese platter. If you're strictly a white wine drinker, this may not be the best place for you, as they generally only have Chardonnay. It's a decent Chardonnay, but that will be your only option. If, however, you're a red wine drinker and want to have some of the best Cabs Napa Valley has to offer, do yourself a favor and come here! read more

Wonderful ambience and outdoor seating area with pleasant staff. Wines are less developed and are a bit edgy. Not buying a bottle here.

We had the best experience here. They were able to squeeze us in for a tasting on a Friday which was timely for my birthday. Shout out to Julie for making it happen and for Darleen for her impeccable service. We had an amazing time. read more

One of my favorite experiences during our trip to Napa. We only did the wine tasting but I was so bummed that we weren't able to do the food pairing because it looked incredible. I think our wine expert was named Michael and he was so knowledgeable and gave us a great time. The outdoor seating underneath the huge trees was such a vibe and a perfect setting for a nice wine tasting. Michael even let my wife try multiple different white wines that weren't on the traditional tasting because she doesn't like Reds (yet) so we felt very welcome. Highly recommend: The Stagecoach Cabernet Sauvignon was my favorite wine that I tasted throughout my trip -If you're able to do the wine pairing DO IT -Their Sauvignon Blanc sells out fast so if your there when they have it you should buy it. read more

Very cute winery and I love how quiet this place is. They have a decent charcuterie board you can order. I also appreciate that they are one of the easier places to get reservations at in Napa, it's all done online too. 40 pp for their current release tasting. I would say the wine is a solid 3.5 stars. read more

Incredible wines! Our family enjoyed our experience so much. Oscar made the afternoon such a pleasure by sharing what makes sequoia grove special. We enjoyed some yummy bites from the kitchen and ended the afternoon with a warm cookie and cab. Mmmmm! Beautiful grounds and perfect service! Thank you Oscar! read more

As a recent bay area transplant from San Diego, I am always looking for new places to bring family when they visit. I booked a Terroir tasting this past weekend for my visiting sister and fiancé solely based on yelp reviews (hence why I feel it is important for me to leave one here). Unfortunately, my family (in-law side) experienced an unexpected loss the day before our reservation here, so I was completely torn on whether to keep the reservation or not. The circumstances were extremely complicated with my sister in town, and I ultimately decided to move forward and take this as an opportunity to spend quality time with my one and only sister and process the loss. Struggling to maintain composure, I explained my situation to the staff, whom were all ultimately very accommodating. Whilst this visit was an emotional rollercoaster, the overall experience was as all the positive reviews have stated. I could not have asked for a better food-wine pairing experience especially in the state I am in. Some notes: The grounds of this winery and the Cambium room where the tasting took place is beautiful. Our host and chef Britny were very thorough when explaining each pairing. The seating was spaced well enough to be comfortable during these times. I look forward to returning with more friends and family in the future and leaving a more comprehensive review. read more

Nice winery in Napa if you want to do a tasting of some reds! They had Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. They also sell snacks if you are hungry. The mushroom arancini was very good. Our sommelier was very personable and gave us tons of recommendations when our third winery cancelled cuz of the weather. They have cute bottle etchings too read more

Sleepy tasting with very mediocre wine. We were so excited to try this on our first trip to Napa, based off all of the reviews. It was very disappointing.. The staff was nice but the entire vibe of the place was very sleepy, and perhaps old fashioned. It's very beautiful there! But it all just felt a little underwhelming. We were totally willing to not care about any of that if the wine was great! It was not.... Sounds like food pairings might be the way to go here? I hate leaving bad reviews but I would have appreciated someone saying this to me before we booked a tasting here. We only had so much time and wanted to really make the best use of our few winery choices. This one was a regret. read more

Did a wine tasting here today for 4. We enjoyed their wine solid 4. Our sommelier, Kristin(I'm pretty sure is her name), gave us a 5 star service. We bought their Merlot. Yes Merlot ;). And their fancier Cab Franc. We also had their small bites. Fried green olives, Focaccia and Romanesco & too crisp/brown pita chips. I suggest the Focaccia! The atmosphere here is 5 star, like our sommelier! I look forward to going back sometime this year! (Only negative, was their suggestion to go to Elyse Vineyard/Winery for Zin. We went, the sommelier there, was not our cup of tea! Nor was the 2019 multiple bottles of wine he poured. Definitely, I would skip Elyse Vineyard/Winery) read more

Made a reservation here for our 2nd stop in Napa Valley, and this was a great winery with a beautiful, open outdoor tasting area. (Didn't see get to the interior due to Covid) Mason attended to us, and his friendliness made the experience wonderful. We felt very lucky to have him introduce the wines. We got the Current Release wine tasting, which started with a Chardonnay followed by a Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and a Cabernet Sauvignon. Mason gave us a bonus taste of the Syrah at the end. I would recommend stopping by Sequoia Grove Winery if you're making a trip to Napa, especially if you're looking for a pensive and pristine outdoor tasting experience rather than a more flamboyant one. read more

Thank you so much Sequoia for showing my dad a wonderful time. The kind woman at the front served us tastings inside despite us not having a reservation and the winery being booked up. My dad went there during his honeymoon in 1985 and really wanted to see it again. He unfortunately has terminal cancer, so our trip to Napa was very nostalgic for him. Thank you so much for your kindness, I will definitely be back! The wine was delicious as well. He bought a bottle to take on a romantic trip up north with my mom next month. read more

Very beautiful winery. We had the sips & snacks and everything was wonderful. I am looking forward to a return trip.

Introduced to me by one of my husband's coworkers, Sequoia Grove's Chardonnay has become one of my favorites! So naturally, I had to go to the source on my last trip to Napa. We were welcomed to our tasting with a splash of a very unique Chardonnay that was actually made by 2 different winemakers: started by one and finished by another! It was so good, I definitely bought a bottle to bring home Our sommelier, Oscar, was an extremely knowledgeable wine educator and brand ambassador. Not only did he make the tasting worthwhile with great descriptions and history behind the grapes and wines, he also made it special by bringing us the most delicious brownies to taste alongside a killer Cabernet. Tbh, I loved every wine I tried You can also go around the main building to see vines planted for different varietals. Since we went during/ towards the end of Harvest, a lot of grapes have been picked, but the leaves were still so pretty with hints of autumn I can't wait to go back and visit (especially the winery dog)! read more

A must stop tasting for every trip to Napa. We either start or end our trips here. Their selection of wine topped with the excellent customer service of this winery is certainly a dream. Get the fried olives while you can. read more

This was an absolute gem from location, ambience, hospitality and wine! Gary was someone we would have wanted to sit for hours with sharing wine with his spirit and knowledge. Kate was accommodating and just lovely in making sure our party was taken care of. read more

If you like California wine, this place is it. It's not Italian wine but it's good nonetheless the less.

Fun experience with the family here! Beautiful Winery with classy decorations! We were here for the Chef's lunch tasting menu. We had Halibut with wild rice, Beet Gnochi, Duck 4 ways, Braised Short Rib and of course red wine to pair with it. I wasn't too impressed with the food but I like the beautiful presentation and their dessert (dark chocolate brownie) in the end. Thanks for trying and keeping us company! Definitely be back for more wine! read more

what an incredible winery and such awesome staff! We got to have Oscar and if you ever go here you need to ask for him! The wine is impeccable, especially their Cabernets. I've been here many times and you would walk up to their bar inside but now and maybe it's because of Covid it's all outside seating and it was just lovely. Oscar was attentive, kind, funny and just loveable! We will be back! Thanks for an incredible experience Oscar! read more

Very nice scenery great wine and delicious food. The food was incredible and the waiters were helpful not snooty and just nice all around.

We have traveled the 29 hundreds of times always passing and never stopping at Sequoia Grove Winery. My wife put a stop to that and requested we make an appointment for a tasting. We are not novice wine drinkers. We take this subject pretty serious and our collection of fine wines represents many visits to wineries throughout the pacific region. I did my research online and booked my tasting for two on Sunday afternoon. We arrive and are shown a comfortable spot on the patio with very padded chairs and a small table for our wine. Our wine server Tom inquires as to what we would like to explore on the menu and suggests that we allow him to bring us a sampling of most of their wines. Done says I. We enjoyed almost all the wines; tasting most of their cabs as well as various other varietals and their 2 chardonnays. Everyone around us seemed to enjoy the wine and the atmosphere was very fun and festive. Sequoia Grove also has a food program and we watched people order off the menu and enjoy some pretty sensational looking dishes. They also provide a food and wine paring experience when safe (outside of the pandemic) which compares to that of a 5 star restaurant. There was zero pressure to join their wine club but learning that wine club members had access to their sister winery St Francis, free tastings for up to four guests at both wineries, 20% off of wine and discount on food and other items, I decided to join. Yes, this makes the 7 wine club membership. But, this place you seem to get a return on your investment. Our experience at Sequoia Grove was positive hence the 5 stars. We are already planning a visit in March and also plan to bring some other winophiles to experience the wines and atmosphere of Sequoia Grove Winery. This place earns an easy 5 stars. read more
