Came here with my team and we had such a great time. Good: - Andrew was super fun to talk to and explained the story of - He gave us extra pours during our tasting just since he wanted us to experience some of his AJ wine - The place is really cozy and comfy and I like the mission of the place - Felt very premium for the price that we paid Bad: - Less seating so we had to stand the whole time Overall the experience was so memorable and I'd come back! read more

Andy and Karen were both amazing people and treated us fantastic. Andy knew every single question I asked about the wine industry. Not only is it a great wine tasting experience. It was also extremely educational. If Andy is in, make sure you ask him about his time in the wine industry if you want to learn about Napa Valley wine this is the place to go. I couldn't recommend this place enough. Not only will I be coming back, but I will also be coming back with a group. read more

We had already been doing wine tasting nearby and decided to check this place out. They serve 5 different wines for tasting. You can just tell them your preference and they can choose for you. Matt did a great job finding wines we enjoyed, and he was very knowledgeable and professional. My favorite wine was the Cobden Wini Old Federal Vineyard Cab. Matt informed us that it was the winemaker's dad pictured on the bottle, doing some kind of math?!? My favorite part of the experience was the "welcome dogs"... yes two adorable dogs that showed us lots of love while we were there, starting from when we entered the venue. This place is spacious and gives off a fancier, more formal feel than the tasting room at Feast It Foward next door. But both experences were great in their own ways. read more

Had a great time talking to the owner, AJ and learning about the boutique wineries he represents. Also so nice to be able to taste delicious wines while walking about downtown Napa! Loved the location right next to Oxbow Public market and The Model Bakery! We joined the club so we could gain access to their wines. Well done! read more

The Wine Thief will steal your heart as you consume some of the best wines in Napa Valley. Andrew was an amazing host with immense expertise about wines, Napa Valley, and not only his own line but the other wines they serve as well. My husband and I found this little gem walking around Napa and stopped in because of the name. As soon as we entered, we got a friendly greeting, and the tasting began. We tried so many wines, including the "Stagecoach," which had a prominent spice to it, the "Toro Block," a unique red with a lovely finish, a 2019 "Spring Mountain" with a touch of spice, a 2019 "Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon" with a super smooth finish (one of my favorites), a "Sugarloaf Mountain" cabernet from 2018, and last but not least, a 2019 "Extended Barrel Aged Malbec" that stole my heart. No matter your taste in wine, there is something here for everyone, and we loved the intimate setting. The wines were truly top-notch, and I would (and plan to) order some for the holiday season. Despite the many choices, it is easy to choose once you try a few, and Andrew was more than generous to let us try his wines. The only other thing I can say other than what I've already said is that this is a must-visit location when you're visiting Napa Valley, and finally, although their slogan, "Drink it like you stole it," is very catchy, these wines make you want to sip slowly because the quality is beyond what you may find at even the most highly rated places in the area. Once again, thank you, Andrew, we will be back! Lillian Mareddy. read more

We did a tasting at The Wine Thief on the 4th of July, which was also my husband's birthday. It was surprisingly empty, so we enjoyed an intimate tasting with Andrew. We expressed our like for deep-red wines, and he formed a customized tasting for us. All of the boutique wines we tried were the best of the best among Napa valley. Throughout our tasting, Andrew had us "guess" which wine was from his winery. It turns out his pinot was our favorite! He did give us an extra pour due to my husband's birthday. We also taught my hubby to throw wine corks. It's the new classy version of beer pong. This definitely made our experience. We will certainly be back when in Napa again. read more

Shout out to Sven for providing such an incredible experience! As inexperienced wine lovers, we came in totally lost but wanting to experience a fun tasting experience. Ultimately we did three tastings at different locations and this one blew them all away! Sven was super patient and showed genuine interest in us as people, clearly even enjoying and being able to intelligently answer our crazy slew of newbie questions. Not only that, he even had us tasting $100+ bottles of wine!! Even more, we had the opportunity to personally speak with one of the vineyard owners about his wine and his story. I wish we had saved all our time and money from the other tastings we visited and just did multiple at the Wine Thief. These guys truly know their stuff, love their jobs, have ZERO pushyness, and are simply great people providing GREAT wines! (Be sure to grab a bottle of the Solamente!) read more

Seriously wish that I had come here my first time to Napa, and my first day this time. Moe was SO knowledgeable and personable. He has a wonderfully dry sense of humor and a huge personality. His whole goal is to find you wines that suit you best and wants to help you discover what suits your palate, whether you're a newbie or a pro he will be able to help you. I will never take another Napa trip without stopping here and doing a VERY REASONABLE tasting and chatting with Moe. read more

Fun spot! We had a nice time trying some great wines from all around the Napa Valley. Located across from the Oxbow Public Market, east of downtown Napa. This place is cool because you can try many different labels. There are several vintners represented here and they are all small (under 500 case to 3,000 case) range. Mostly wines you have never heard of, but fun to experiment with new stuff! They seem to focus more on reds but do have whites to taste as well. The wines are available to purchase and price points vary. I liked the chill vibes here. A few cozy sofas as well as several stand around tables and even a community table. Makes for meeting new people and small talk easy. We will return next time we are in the area! read more

Having been to quite a few tasting rooms I'll say the wine thief is very impressive. The wines they have are high end and from small producers like other tasting room but they seem to pick the best wineries. We actually enjoyed the wine thief more that most of the winery tours. Next time I'm Napa will do one winery tour and few other tasting rooms downtown including the wine thief. The guy who did our tasting, Matt, was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience superb. Make sure to request Matt for your tasting. read more

Karen demonstrated exceptional kindness and imparted her extensive knowledge on oenology, enlightening us with her expertise in the realm of wines. read more

Most excellent experience! Mo was the most real, funny, and extremely entertaining wine tasting host! He went over all of our options with us and really listened to what we liked and disliked in order to find us the best wines to try. He was very knowledgeable about each of the wines that he chose for us to sample. He was able to hone in on our tastes and preferences to help us choose the best wine bottles to take home. We ended up finding a couple of real amazing new wines that are not available in some of the larger stores because they were not mass produced. Very top notch quality wine with excellent ratings! When visiting Napa, you cannot pass up The Wine Thief! Thank you so much Mo for the wonderful experience and memories. We will definitely be back for truly some of the best wines in the area! read more

The Wine Thief reminds me of the old Napa where you could go somewhere with a group and actually relax over a glass or bottle of wine and a fun time. No frenzied, overpriced tastings here! They have a versatile selection of wines and always relaxed, friendly service. When you finally find parking or manage to leave the overcrowded Oxbow market, make your way here to restore your sanity over wine and a chilled out vibe. Such a gem! read more

AJ the owner is a real cool Bostonian cat! Great wine tasting of unique wines only available there. Beautiful taste room. 2big rooms for a nice group to have a private tasting . Don't miss it. Finish with Oxbow next door for lunch. Enjoy! read more

Dave was an incredible host. He explains the wine, history of it and then pours the samples. Most of the wines here are small batch (from what he mentioned). Really delicious wine. Stop in for a glass or a wine tasting (VERY reasonably priced). You'll be pleased! read more

Who could have predicted that the best tasting room in Napa was the one within a short walk from our hotel? You must absolutely go to this place if you're in town! If you skip it, you will lose out on a phenomenal experience! Not only is the wine great, but the guys here are entertaining as hell! Andy and Mo know their product and provide useful info along with a vegas style comedy approach that is pure entertainment! I don't give 5 stars on a first visit (my rating system gives 5 stars for consistent excellency) but am making the exception for Wine Thief because I know others who go here regularly and their experience is the same as mine was. This is really a 6 star place! I have a few tips to make your experience as good as it can be. 1) stop at the bakery across the street and grab some bread and a little oil for the tasting. Share it with Andy/Mo. 2) plan to take your time. The more time you spend with them the more information they can provide about the wineries and the wine you're enjoying. They have so much knowledge about the growers, the winemakers, the wineries, the different regions etc. etc. Don't let that knowledge stay bottled up inside them! Give their brains time to breathe! 3) plan to laugh, share stories and jokes and be entertained. If you have a stick or bug in your butt, have it removed beforehand. These guys are pure fun and it would be such a waste not to be part of their show! 4) buy some of their wine and consider joining their club. Apart from all the joking around these guys are serious about the wines they pour. You'll be able to dial it in and find something at a reasonable price that you can drink every day. Ask questions and consider their advice. It's a great opportunity to learn and enjoy (usually you only get to do one of these at a time!) 5) Once you get home, drink every day. Order more wine. Plan another visit out to Napa and the Wine Thief! read more

Great service very knowledgeable about not only the wine but how it was grown. Sven and Matt were super helpful making our time fun and enjoyable. read more

Our weekend getaway ended on a sour note. After an enjoyable time in the tasting room, we purchased 4 bottles of wine. We were told the wine wasn't on location and it would be shipped to us. We were told we would have it within a week. The week came and went with no wine being delivered . After numerous phone calls over the next month, we never received the wine even though on two occasions we were told "it will be shipped today". I eventually contacted my bank and filed a dispute in order to get my money back for the wine that was never received. Very surprised and disappointed the way this was handled on their end. Needless to say I will not be back! read more

The best variety of interesting tasting wines I have ever experienced! Although it's a pay for tasting, it's not often you get to try a $125 bottle! The staff is also helpful in explaining the various wines and their origin. read more

My wife & I discovered this 'hidden gem' by happenstance. Not wanting to deal with the 'post-COVID' traffic facing us on our drive South we made a u-turn back to the City of Napa. The Wine Thief was the only wine tasting room that was open for business thus limiting our options. I have to admit I was hesitant on visiting a wine tasting 'room' while in the heart of the Napa Valley littered with an abundance of actual wineries. The Wine Thief and notably our host, Matt made this experience one of, if not the best wine tastings we have been a part of. The wine we were served was simply fabulous. It was also quite affordable especially in comparison to the 'big vineyards' offerings. The 2016 Cabs we tasted and purchased were twice as good as JP's Insignia and at 1/3 of the cost. I really have to hand it to Matt, our host, very knowledgeable and gracious. We've already boasted about this place to many of our friends and plan to return on our next visit North. read more

At about 2:30pm, I called The Wine Thief hoping to get a last minute tasting reservation. Sven answered the phone and told us to come on in! It was such a pleasant experience and Sven was so knowledgeable. Whenever we finished a glass, he was right there pouring the next tasting immediately! I'm so happy we found this gem of a tasting room during our trip. read more

We loved The Wine Thief! We came to Napa for a quick visit and wanted to see what all the excitement about this establishment was all about. We had such a good time!

We ran across this place in downtown Napa after a day at the wineries--and what a find it was! The wines were delicious, and the service was impressive. Our initial pourer was young but extremely knowledgeable, and by the end of our wine flight, the owner of the establishment (who produces several of the wines) was serving us and striking up conversation. The one downside I could find was that seating is not available for tastings unless you are making a larger purchase. As a result, we did our tasting leaned up against tables. While this was no problem for us, it might be difficult for some patrons when doing a larger flight. read more

Extremely rude worker. I hate leaving bad yelp reviews, but this one earned it. I've been to Napa several times but never have I encountered something like this. We came for bottlerock and decided to stop here before going in. We had a group of 6 of us and from the time we came in, the man working was extremely rude and uneasy. It was a beautiful warm day and he complained to us immediately for keeping the door open for too long while the whole group was entering. He had a very off-putting tone, almost as if if was a hassle for him to help us. Mind you, this was around 2pm and we were the only ones in the establishment. As we were leaving he very rudely tells us that we need to clean up after ourselves and not leave our empty wine glasses on the table. read more
