    Date of Visit: 8/6/2023 Highly recommend the Spring Mountain Vineyard in Saint Helena! We visited on Sunday afternoon and our hose Jacob warmly welcomed us with a splash of 2022 Sauvignon Blanc. He took the time to bring us into the cave, pass the stainless steel and French Oak Tanks, and explore the cave with a tasting of the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon with candles on the side. We also walked to the Victorian building "Falcon Crest" House for a side by side tasting of 2004 Elivette and 2015 Elivette. I personally love 2015 Elivette on the nose and 2004 Elivette on the palate. Here are the 4 wine we tasted during our visit: 2022 Sauvignon Blanc 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 Elivette 2015 Elivette

    Wonderful atmosphere. Amazing service We tasted thru the vintages today. Worth every penny. The history and the views are awesome.

    Great wine. Beautiful setting. And a completely approachable, friendly, engaging and informative tour given by Val D. She was awesome and made the entire visit wonderful. Thank you! Money and time we'll spent.

    Very Instagram worthy background ;)

    I took my little cousin who just turned 22 to this beautiful winery. I read that it was one of the better experiences in Napa from Reddit. We booked a 3pm tour on Monday & there were only 3 of us in our group so very intimate. I love our wine host (Can't remember the name though)!! We toured the winery & had the wine tour inside the historic & beautiful house. One of the best carbenet Sauvignon & sauvignon blanc I've ever had!! Highly recommend if you're into smaller groups :)

    Came for a wine tasting with our friends, who are members. I would say this is a pretty hidden and not well known winery. But it's a gem and super cute and have pretty good wines. They have a gate at the front but you just let them know that you have a reservation and the name and they'll buzz you in. We were greeted by Jacob, who had our first wines ready for us. He lead us to our outdoor area - which had 4 large patio chairs, a few wine barrels acting as tables, and a personalized menu/price list of what wines were trying today. The scenery was gorgeous and our view was of the vineyards and the mountain. It was a super nice day and our area was covered by large umbrellas to protect us from the sun. We did the Cottage tasting, which was 4 wines - 1 white and 3 red. We never felt rushed even though I think the tastings had a time limit. They do not allow dogs though - FYI. Even though it was all outdoors. Jacob was super nice and informative. And we had a grand old time here. We left with a few bottles of their sauvignon blanc. Next time we'll have to come back and see the Falcon Crest house.

    I usually like to keep my favorite places low profile since it isn't easy to find a peaceful and lovely winery. The delicious Cabinets, personable wine educator, historical buildings in the property, warm greetings - all you can ask for during a tasting trip is here.

    Incredible property with an awesome tour and tasting! Our guide was awesome (sorry, forgot her name!), she was very knowledgeable about the history of the property and the wines. Wines were lovely, this place has a lot older vintages than most you'll find in napa, we tasted many from the 2000s-2010s, and one all the way back to 1992! Tastings took place in a historic mansion which is apparently also the set of a famous tv show from the 80s. Highly recommended, love all the wineries I've been to on the mountain, this one is certainly a highlight.

    Estate where tasting room is located and roller skating occurred

    The wine educator, Ish, who originally hails from Puerto Rico and has the "hot blood and personality" of his culture put on a lively presentation. He took us around the grounds and we visited the estate home that has many stories to tell. One of them was how over 40 years ago while the house was closed up and no one residing in it, the local kids would sneak in and roller skate on those beautiful floors. He even hinted who those kids were and now are known personalities in the NSV. I visited Spring Mountain Winery many, many years ago and happened to be there when the current owner, Jacqui Safra, was on the property. While Jacqui did not say very much at that time, I learned from the staff ( they were not set up for tastings at that time) the many stories about Jacqui and how he accumulated the acreage over the years as he focused on the various micro climates (it was an incredible story and one I better not share as it was very personal.) But Jacqui, being ranked as one of the 50 wealthiest people in the world (Donald Trump does not come close) bought the vineyard and estate in 1992. There were three well known wineries on the property and he acquired them all farming over 200 acres and the remaining 600 odd acres was left as a natural setting. They use cover crops and not pesticides and everything about their techniques are sustainable. MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TIME SPENT WAS THIS LATEST VISIT DID NOT INCLUDE THE WALK THROUGH THE VARIOUS SLOPED VINEYARDS, the micro climates and A BUT MORE ABOUT JACQUI. Why? Based upon my accumulated experience visiting here "back in the day" (and this is why I knocked one star off the rating) there is so much more than just tasting the wine. While the story about Jacqui is interesting, during my first visit back in the 90's, it was related to me that the winery was bought to demonstrate the amazing finished product that can come from the Spring Mountain area and its many microclimates. The caves that are within the hills that have been enhanced are incredible and "back in the day" I caught a glimpse of all of the Premier Grand Cru and Grand Cru wines stored on site as Jacqui loves Bordeaux region from what I was told, such as Pauillac and Sf. Emilion varieties. I am mentioning this as the Spring Mountain wines were not sold for many years and were just laid down and aged after the property was acquired. I believe Jacqui wanted to assess how the Spring Mountain wines would perform over time and once the team confirmed what they had, they started to release it. It must be great to not have to worry about cash flow but now the wines are elegant and to be enjoyed each vintage. The terroir gives an amazing variety of grapes due to the landscape, terraced vineyards, microclimates and the winemaking team. If it were my call, I would push for.more of a visit to the vineyards and explore the land and what God has provided as it is impeccable. I believe Jacqui acquired Spring Mountain as thought these grapes could provide more of an old World finish which is what I think he sought. Spring Mountain Winery produces 25% of the total grape volume of the Spring Mountain AVA. The estate and vineyards start at 400' and go to the top are 1,600'. Couple that with the microclimates, terroir shifts, temp changes, soil changes/ wow, the winemaker has an amazing arsenal to work from. The tasting room is beautiful within the original estate that was done over several years ago. The Chardonnay had a good oak balance, the traditional cab can be laid down for several years due to what the winemaker has done searching the various blocks, and the 2012 Elivette Cab just blew me out of the water; it was very nice for our wine educator , Ish, to offer that. Tasting that alone was worth the trip. On the drive up Spring Mountain Road about 0.5 miles before you reach Spring mountain Winery, there are some cool photos op places/ a waterfall on the right, and some great photo ops on the left of the vineyards and the mustard plant ; as each year towards the end of winter, the vineyards scream color below the bare vineyard trunks!!!! They come alive with gold, yellow and orange; it is mesmerizing. Worth a stop. But I wish the tour included a suggestion to "bring your mudders when you come" as you are going out to the vineyards as part of the tour. Spring Mountain is amazing, the story of Spring Mountain Winery and what Jacqui has done is terrific, and finish it off with the Elivette cab. Then stroll through the property one last time before you leave with many memories.

    Lovely experience at Spring Mountain. Our wine educator Michael shared history and stories of the vineyard we'd not heard before. Lovely setting, excellent service, amazing wines, fantastic experience. Our favorite spot in the valley. A true treasure!

And the lady behind the cheese counter (I forgot her name) was super helpful and knowledgeable about what cheeses would go great with our wine, same for the ladies behind the meat counter! I only gave four stars because the girls at the register were not very friendly, and the lady that checked us in when we first got there was also not very friendly. Also, the restrooms were pretty gross and needed to be cleaned more frequently. Other than that this was a fun place to visit! We did walk in which was nice so if you need somewhere to do a last minute or unplanned tasting this is a great place!

My friends and I were limited in our wine knowledge and he admitted that he felt like all wine tastes the same.

She sets the image about drinking this near a pool and I immediately would get transported to her explanations. It was giving "Remy" from "Ratatouille" moment when you close your eyes and see/feel all the different imagery. Throughout the tour, we are educated on the fact that they have two different addresses because they are at the border of both Sonoma County and Napa! Literally best of both worlds! Afterwards, we tried multiple different wines in their caves and educated on the different notes, how to hold our wine glasses, and the importance of everything. Before this experience, I was completely unaware of what to look for, but now I feel like I have a better understanding of everything. Certain notes I didn't even expect like the peppery taste in one of the wines. It was so cool knowing that these type of caves and winery exists and I feel like our host, Krista, made our experience even BETTER. Thank you Krista for showing us around. This was completely unforgettable and I WILL BE coming again!

If you purchase 2 or more bottles of wine, the tasting fee is waived. The pours are also plenty so this is a great deal. I just loved their flexibility. Valet parking was free!
