What a little gem to highlight the Meritage Resort. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable with their wines. It's located in the cave... Kinda dark when you first walk in but once you open those iron doors... Nothing but smiles! Yumm, loved the Meritage Cabs. Ayed and Ed are assets! After a long day of tastings it's the best feeling to just walk over and have a glass or two of wines at Trinitas. Good conversation, a warm and welcoming crowd and most of all, great quality wines. We tried the chocolates... I suggest sharing an order... Way too rich but a definite must try. And the breadsticks are addicting! So for a relaxing time and a nice wine experience... This is a must! read more

Horrible service. Below average wine. They didn't want to serve us. They didn't explain anything. They wouldn't let our group sit together. Waste of time. Go to inglenook, Darioush or any of the other amazing wineries. Don't waste your time here! Everything was below average read more

Trinitas was located in a "cave" behind the Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa. What I enjoyed about the cellars was the ambiance- a not-so-dimly lit area with wines and other goods in the room (including doggie treats?!) Trinitas serve three types of wine flights- one custom flight, a reserve flight, and one which includes a chocolate pairing (from local Kollar chocolates)! My friend and I opted for the chocolate pairing, which comes with four wines and four distinct chocolate pairings, each paired very well with the wine it came with! If I were to go back, I'd opt for the custom flight because there were some wines there that caught my eye that I wasn't able to try the first time around. Maybe bring some chocolate along the way as well ;) read more

Trinitas Cellars - Wine and chocolate pairing option! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Napa, California

One of the most amazing wineries I've been to so far! Not only do they have a winery, they have a spa too! If you've been here, you know exactly how I feel! The entrance of Trinitas sets the mood. It makes me feel like, I'm entering an underground vault. To the right, is the tasting room and to the left is the spa. We had the chocolate and wine tasting. I've never done that before so that was awesome. I think my favorite wine was the cab, for the life of me I couldn't remember the year :( After the tasting, we had the opportunity to tour the spa. They took us back to show us the Jacuzzi room, massage rooms, and the locker room. There are no words to describe the vibes, you're honestly going to have to come and see yourself. I am not going to lie though, the packages are pricey so please make sure that you review the menu or inquire about certain pricing. It would be perfect for a couples retreat, or even a birthday celebration with you and your girls, or even an anniversary gift, the possibilities are endless. Since my last visit, I have been in the process of making plans for me and my girls to return asap to the spa since we didn't get the full experience. Maybe we can do both the tasting and the spa. read more

One of my favorite wineries I like going to since it's in a very nice area of Napa. There is a resort across the street and open air seating in the plaza where the winery resides. I like their reds but their chardonnay is to die for. Extremely buttery and crisp, works very well with the seafood I eat most of the time. Maybe like 1/2 Napa trips I go to, I usually stop in this area to chill and relax after tastings. read more

Had some business at the edge of Napa and I was with a coworker who had never been in the area before. We didn't really have time to sight-see or do a full tasting. I found Trinitas Cellars accidentally and at first thought I'd made an error for the short choice of a tasting. Boy was I wrong!! We were welcomed by Cynthia, who was lovely, engaging, and generous with greeting us to the area and giving us some background about the winery and owners. We were served complimentary tastes - And the wine was delicious! I tried both a Chardonnay and a Cab. Then we were also offered a sample of the Franc-is. Wow- yum! Such a great experience and lovely ambience! I will be back! read more

Yesterday we ventured to Napa Valley to do some wine tasting. Our first stop was Trinitas Cellers. Our amazing host Tony Robustelli really made us all feel really Special! Tony is so warm, genuine and outgoing. If you want to have a great time and also learn about the wines Tony is your man! He served us a selection of their best wines and was very knowledgeable about the different vintages poured. We ended up buying some of the Mataro which Tony told us should go perfectly with our Barbecue dinner tonight. Please check them out and be sure to hit them up and find out when Tony is working, you will be very pleased! read more

Went wine tasting here today. What a beautiful place! A must see if you're visiting the Napa Valley. I tried out several wines and continued on by purchasing quite a few. Just loved the hosts, Kimberly, Leslie and Curtis. They were all very knowledgeable and very friendly. "My wine glass runneth over. Thank you. read more

Cheers to 5 stars! Maybe it's because this place just met and exceeded my expectations for a great wine tasting experience in Napa. Or maybe it's because being there gave me so many warm and fuzzy feelings that now I'm feeling star-generous. Who knows. But there it is. First of all- shout out to my man Tony!! He's the kind of guy you'd want to share some wine with. Funny, light-hearted, and genuine. Thanks for the life advice! Next, the wine. It's $30-$40 for five tastings. It was comped for us because it's on our timeshare property. It was amazing, and it became more evident after visiting other wineries in the area. I especially liked their big cabs. We went home with an '06 cab and the 2013 CAB FRANCis. If you love Pope Francis like I do, ask them to tell you the story behind it. Also, they're open til 7pm, which is a huge plus. read more

What an incredible find, like magic wine cave. So beautiful inside and the atmosphere is so friendly and fun! I was blown away by a gentleman who works here, who remembered me from 2 years ago. Impeccable service from our wine taster Kevin and a great team all around. We arrive 30 minutes before closing but me and my girls never felt rushed, Kevin took his time to explain the wines we were tasting and to laugh and joke with us. I will always come back here, great wine and good people's! read more

Trinitas Cellars - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Napa, California

It took me a while to catch on: * The name of the place is Trinitas. * One of their light red wines is called Rose'ary * A heavier red is called RatZINger. * There's something vaguely religious about those wine labels. Are you as dense as me or have I laid it all out for you pretty clearly? Trinitas is owned by "the Bush family" which just about caused me to spew wine all over the cave when revealed by Lamar, our friendly and generous pourer. Lamar further clarified, "not THAT Bush family" and we returned to normalcy. The owners are just your average American filthy-rich-winery-owning-Catholics not those other filthy-rich Americans responsible for America circa '89 - '93 or '01 - '09. That aside, I very much enjoyed the tastings here in the wine-cave-carved-into-the-hillside-under-some-vineyards and beside the Meritage's Spa Terra. The steep $20 per person tasting allowed big-pour samplings of 5 wines from amongst a full page of offerings and there were some very nice selections on offer (I particularly liked the reds). The $20 fee also nets you a for-keeps logo wine glass. The cave is a cool, comfortable place to hang out for a while and that $20 fee pre-establishes you as a baller so, if you find yourself over indulging you're right there at a 4-star resort and who knows, maybe there's a room there with your name on it. Additional Info: * You can join Trinitas "wine society" to get 3, 6, or 12-bottle wine shipments throughout the year. Joining also gives you other perks including discounts at the resort and in the spa. * The cave has a nice assortment of pretty gifts for purchase if you want to bring home something besides wine. * After sampling, take a walk up through the vineyard path above to see Napa's iconic grape-crusher statue up close. * Trinitas is at the very southernmost edge of Napa. If you're driving anywhere near the grape crusher statue you're very nearby but you won't see Trinitas. Siri should be able to lead you here. read more

Instead of signing up for a pre-organized wine tour, we decided to take on wine country based off of the best choices we found on Yelp that could accommodate a procrastinating bunch of new wine appreciators. Trinitas Cellars is located underneath the vineyard. Pretty awesome. Took us a minute to find our way there because we were confused about it being in a hotel. Once you walk through the lobby, it'll be quite easy to find. I shared a chocolate wine pairing with Ervin so as not to get drunk at our first stop (I'm a lightweight). Chocolate & Wine is only $32.40 (taxed) and it includes a 2012 Chardonnay paired with a chili lime tequilla tortilla brittle, 2011 Mysteriama, Old Vine paired with Tart Cherry Truffle, 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon paired with a Cappucino Truffle, and a 2013 Sblam, Late Harvest Sauv Blanc paired with Lemon Zest Truffle. Among these 4 pairings, I would rank the Chardonnay and the Cabernet as my favorites! The flavors of the wine and the chocolate neutralized one another. The Sauv Blanc with Lemon Zest was a little too sweet for my taste buds. And the Mysteriama on its own was tasteful! You can't go wrong with Trinitas. Their sommeliers are extremely knowledgeable and took into account that my group and I were a bunch of first timers! read more

Visited this winery to experience the tasting.. I just need to say it was a great experience! The tasting room located at the rear of the resort is a gem. We were helped someone who was very knowledgeable of the wine, pairings and of the area. I defintely recommend this place. Tasting is $20 for 5 wines. I definitely recommend the winery exclusives. This was so fun that we ended up buying 5 bottles from him. We will be defintely enjoying these wines at home. The wines I recommend are their revelation cabs. A must try! There is also a Restaraunt/bar next to the taste room that has multiple pool tables and a bowling alley!!!!!!!! read more

This is the place where I finally enjoyed wine tasting. So a year ago, I went to Napa for the first time. Not knowing anything about wine other than liking a not so dry, not so sweet white wine. I know my palette, but I don't know how to speak in vino. I expected to be educated about wine while sipping this one and that one, but nope, not my last trip at another vineyard. I guess I looked too young that I wasn't really acknowledged during the tasting unless I buy a few bottles in the end. Luckily, this small little cellar that was a bit hard to find, since it was in the back of the Meritage. The whole time I thought I was going the wrong way. Anyway, 2 of my girls and I found the cave, made our way to the seats in the far back. We were greeted by Lamar as we scanned through the menu. What caught our eyes was the chocolate/wine tasting combo. Chocolates made by Kollar Chocolates. MMMM.. what a plus! But we came too late that day, they were out of the chocolates, so we settled for a regular tasting each. I'm not sure if they have anymore of the 2012 Chardonnay. It was absolutely delicious! And I'm not a chardonnay drinker myself. It wasn't as dry as the usual, went in quite smoothly. We ended up going back there again the next day just for the chocolate/wine pairing. You get to adventure out with about 2 different wines per piece of chocolate. The experience is quite mindblowing, especially if you're up to adventure out with your palates. read more

I can't believe I haven't written about Trinitas Cellars -- they should win the award for friendliest service in Napa Valley! Their staff and management, under the warm leadership of their proprietor, Garret Busch, treat both members and visitors just like family -- that's exactly the experience I would like to have when enjoying wine! They are a small and budding winery at the tip of the wine trail behind the Meritage Hotel (under the Grape crusher statue on Hwy 29) -- quite an easy stop to start or end your day in Napa. We usually go towards the end as they are one of those wineries that open late (until 7pm), and we usually catch a game of bowling at the Meritage right after to sober down prior to heading home. Or you could also stay overnight at the Meritage -- members get a 20% discount. You can tour the grounds on your own, or schedule a private tour -- which I recommend. On our first visit here last year, we tried it and got lucky as Garrett himself toured us around the vineyards. We really appreciate his passion as he talks about the vineyards, its history and the hands that sustain it. The family are devout Christians, which explains their quirky naming convention -- some examples: "RatZINger" for the wonderful Zinfandel blend, and "Cabernet FRANCis" -- which was presented to and enjoyed by Pope Francis himself. If you want a winery where you feel right at home with family and friends -- this is it. Oh so highly recommended! read more

Went to this wine bar with my bf because this place was open a bit longer compared to wineries and you don't need a reservation. From the yelp reviews we were under the impression that this place was going to be underground but it's under a Vineyard behind the hotel. You have no service in the bar so use their free WiFi! Wine: We got the chocolate and wine which is $30 per person. This set comes with very very small sips of 4 wines and 4 regular sized chocolates. The wine portion compared to the chocolate was very off, I left feeling I paid $30 bucks for 4 pieces of chocolate. The wines were sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, cab and I completely forgot the last one but it was a oaky wine. Service: Quite disappointing experience. Our server did not give us any kind of information about any of the wines. She just repeated everything we already read on the menu then walked away. Majority of the time she was with other customers. read more

Trinitas Cellars - Chocolate wine pairing $30 - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Napa, California

I had been to the Meritage Resort many times for breakfast with the girls, spa day and work functions but this is my first time coming into the Trinitas Cellars (right side of the cave across from the spa). Parking is free and you can walk through the hotel to get to the cellar. The Cellar is nice and bright with nick nacks you Can buy throughout the store. It's a standing room for the tasting but there is one seating area at the end of the bar for 4 that we were able to sit at. We each did a tasting of the wine and chocolate pairing for $40. My sister in law said the prices have gone up over the years as it used to be lower for the tasting. Overall great chocolate and great wine. You can buy the chocolate you sample in the cellar as well. When you finish or before your tasting you can walk outside to the top of the cellar where the vineyards are to take pictures or go on a short short stroll. Caution for those in heels as it's a bit steep, we still walked it in our heels for the photo lol. Enjoy! read more

Trinitas Cellars - Wine and chocolate pairing. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Napa, California

Nice wines, friendly pourer who gave us a couple of good recommendations on other tasting rooms to hit up. The resort is large and very chichi--we felt like we took the grand tour by the time we were in the tasting room. Excellent reserve Chard, and reliable Cab, Pinor, and other reds. The $20 tasting gave me sticker shot, but as I soon discovered, that's the Napa norm. They also had some elegant gifts, and tasty gourmet nibbles to pick up. read more

What a cozy little cave tasting room! I really like the ambiance/decor of the tasting room. $20 for 5 tastes or $30 for 4 tastes with a chocolate pairing. Normally, I'd say it is a bit pricey but we got free tastings because our friend is a member. We also nibbled on some purchased cheese and complimentary bread sticks during our time there! The staff was very friendly and we had a great time! read more

Pinot noir 2009 Carneros -- enjoyed with cheese, water crackers, & cured meat. Anyos (sp?) our charming sommelier with his Jordanian accent rolled off descriptions of the wines-- descriptions also on the tasting menu, but the words sounded so much more "alive" coming from him. Perfect since wine is alive too--each second the air touches it, evolution. The cave has no reception, so when I checked in, I was already in the limo...missed out on the 10% off-- pooh. So check IN first! Loved the hats & crosses/ jewelry. Loved the catacomb smell-- earthy & cool inside. Small standing room bar area. The spa smells across the hall didn't infiltrate the tasting room, so your olfactory nerves will not protest. Being catholic, I adored the story about the origin of the name Trinitas. The catholic punditry found in the wine names tickled me pink-- very clever. read more

After years of wine club membership st this beautiful and unique winery I've discovered another Service Superstar! Matt!!! He's knowledgeable, engaging, funny, and attentive. Whether you are a member or a first timer, seek him out for a phenomenal experience that will leave you longing for a return visit the minute you step out of the gorgeous, cast iron filigree doors leading you out of the cave and into the lavish grounds of the Meritage Resort. Thank you Matt, we will be back to taste (and likely buy) your latest recommendations for us! read more

Not sure how I haven't been to this place after so many trips in Napa and been to many other wineries. This place would give you a nice experience whether small or bigger groups. Love the ambiance and setting here! Super friendly service and their wine flight was actually pretty great!! I love how they offer variety of white and red, some places focus on specific red, but they do a nice job of their selections from Syrah, Zin, Cab. Good wine, nice outdoor patio, friendly host! Will be back for sure! read more

This is the second time I've been to Trinitas, and it didn't disappoint. Shout out to Kevin who always finds time to make friends with everyone in the room. The wine is as good as the people who serve it. They have a new building now and it's beautiful. There are plenty of wines. My favorite isn't one on any of the testing menus, it's called SBLAM. It's a white dessert wine, and it's like drinking honey. The best wine I have ever drank. There are amazing red and whites. 10/10 would recommend. Also a plus is that they are open until 7, whereas most of the Napa Valley wineries close at 5. I Like that they don't talk you into buying anything and if you don't like something they will help you find something that you do like! Thanks Kevin and everyone else, you are all amazing! read more

Not much of a wine drinker so I think the preference is subjective. In terms of the experience, it wasn't bad but felt a bit rushed (came here on a weekend and it was packed). The tasting range up to $45.00. The environment was great as it's in a cave (the opposite end is a massage). Quite honestly after the second glass it was hard to tell the difference and they sort of all blend and taste the same... it's a good experience and very informative, but if you're not a wine enthusiast I would not recommend it. read more

Trinitas Cellars was the perfect place to spend a beautiful day in Napa Valley. Having visited several wineries throughout the day as well as on a separate trip to the Wine Country, Trinitas truly takes the wine tasting experience to a new level. Surrounded by the beauty of the vineyards and the accompanying Meritage Resort and Spa, the Trinitas Tasting Room provides an exquisite yet serene backdrop for enjoying the assortment of unique wines Trinitas Cellars has to offer. I had heard stories and seen pictures of the beautiful Estate Cave, where the Tasting Room is located, but it was even more breathtaking then I imagined. Once inside, the Trinitas Tasting Room provided a quiet oasis in which to enjoy the company of good friends over a sampling of delicious reds and whites. Our group was fortunate enough to try Trinitas' recently released 2011 Chardonnay, a crisp, refreshing white, perfect for a warm spring day. As a red aficionado, however, the Mysterium topped my list and is a must-try! Coming from out of town, I wasn't able to bring any bottles home with me, but I am hoping to sign up for the Trinity Club, one of Trinitas Cellars' wine societies, which offers a combination of reds and whites four times a year at a reasonable price (even for a law student like me!) And they ship to Massachusetts - extra bonus! The trip was far too short, but I'm anxiously awaiting my next visit to Trinitas Cellars, hopefully to enjoy the Resort and Spa as well. Cheers to delicious, hand-crafted wine in the beautiful Wine Country. read more

Can you please have 6 stars so I can give this place an extra star, yelp?? Brought some friends here to do the wine and chocolate tasting today and per usual, Trinitas did not disappoint! Locally sourced chocolate was delish, wine was on point and Ayed took great care of us. This is by far my favorite winery to visit in Napa/Sonoma area. Bonus - we walked up in the vineyard to see the gazebo and the view was absolutely gorgeous! Make sure to take a stroll up there after tasting in the cave! read more

Trinitas Cellars - Pano view from the vineyards - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Napa, California

Staying at the Meritage for a conference and I wanted a little bit of leisure time before getting down to business. My gentleman friend and I walked in around 4:45 and were welcomed by Dave, who proceeded to blow us away with his attentive, personable demeanor and knowledge of those most delicious fruits of the vine. He picked up on our shared affection for Cabernet and made recommendations accordingly, eventually leading us to a truly delectable Zinfandel that neither one of us would have ever selected if left to our own devices, of which we purchased a bottle. This felt like a quintessential Napa experience: laid-back, approachable wine experts getting you a tiny bit tipsy while teaching you about the wonders of oenology. Would definitely recommend, especially if you can get Dave as your host. read more

For this being my first time at a winery, I was happy with what I had experienced. My friends took me with my boyfriend down to it to get a taste for Napa Valley. It was great! Afterwards we took a walk through the garden area they had and took pics at the gazebo area on top of the hill. Lots of great pic moments when we went. The wine choices were ok, and if you are new to wine, like myself, this will help round out your palette for what you do like or don't. Try it! You will like it, especially if you are a first timer. Tip: Go there on a double date! read more

It was lovely wine but Tony the guy behind the counter was flustered and rushed. We got here at 5:45pm and was informed they close at 7pm. My sister has a membership which allows het to bring 3 other guests for tastings. Just really felt like since we didn't have to pay we were treated like second class citizens. Yea sure it was busy but dumping 4 glasses and walking away... I had to lead the tasting while he was busy coding out people's tabs.. I came here for a good time and thought I went about it the right way by coming with my sister and her prepaid membership. I'd come back for the wine but my experience was soured by Tony l. read more

I love this place. First found it when driving around wine tasting in a Sunday and was lucky enough to stop in and Wow they had Raider game on also. NFL and wine, gimme more. So I got a membership and every time I go there I find a new delicious wine and enjoy the company of their great staff. There is plenty of seating, both indoors and out. Being right at the entry into Napa it is a great place to start your tasting and pick up a few bottles. read more

Kyle & Kevin are the Wine Experts here! My mom and me were at the resort just for the day and following a wonderful facial we were hankering for some good vino. Kyle took us on a journey with history and local culture as we sipped our flight of delicious Whites & Reds. We visited on a Monday afternoon, so we really had the entire tasting room to ourselves; getting highly educated on the grapes, history of vineyard and the resort expansion currently in development. Time flew by and an hour later we finished our tasting and set out for our adventure in Wine Country feeling pampered and happy! read more

Wines aren't my favorite here but it's open until 7 which is a huge bonus. It's also located on Meritage resorts property right off the Hwy so it's conveniently located for when you don't want to hang up your wine tasting experience after normal winery hours. Our pourer was a older lady who had tons of jokes and helpful information. Not sure if I'll be back but there's a big possibility I will. read more
