It's hard to decide if the wine was the best thing about Truchard Vineyards or if our host Justin was the best thing about the visit! We appreciated the depth of information and history that was shared with my husband and I about the vineyard itself and the wine that we tried. The tour through the actual vineyard and the caves were excellent and beautiful. We made sure to leave with a few of bottles and join the Club. We can't wait to come back! read more

What a delight! Justin responded quickly to our request for a reservation and gave us the five star treatment. The tasting and tour of the caves could not have been a more wonderful experience. Justin was very knowledgeable and such a warm host. We highly recommend visiting this vineyard. read more

My boyfriend and I took a little getaway to Napa and he found Truchard vineyard. This was my first time ever wine tasting and Justin took really great care of us from all of our questions getting answered to actually getting to know us. We were able to sample many of their wines and see the cave where all the barrels of wine were kept. We even purchased a beautiful bottle wine. We can't wait to comeback and would definitely recommend to friends and family. read more

If you want the Napa Disneyland experience don't bother coming here Anyone who rated this place less than 4 stars probably wanted that and does not know wine or is simply super bougey. This was the best tasting I've ever been to. On Tock their scheduled filled up but I called DAY OF and the owner answered the phone. Folks the Owners are in their 80s. They manage 400 acres. How incredible is that? Arrived early and was greeted by Justin who ended up being our guide around the property and our sommelier. Justin was absolutely AMAZING. A true treasure of this establishment. For 2 hours Justin poured us wine, and told us everything about this unique amazing vineyard. Folks this is what Napa used to be. I'm not interested in the flashy nonsense the big corporate guys have. I want to step on the soil, understand the microclimate, know the history of the owners. This tasting is worth far far more than the $40 they charge. It's one of the bargains of Napa Valley. Check it out before things change. read more

We started our first wine tour at Truchard Vineyards. Justin greeted my friends and I with a welcoming smile. First tasting was the Chardonnay and every wine we tasted after that was pure bliss! We were hooked and ended up purchasing 4 bottles of wine. The family owned property was amazing and the hospitality melted our hearts. Justin was really patient with us girls as the tour went on and took the time to answer all our questions. Overall an amazing experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! read more

This wine club is great (referring to the red wine club as that's what I like; I imagine the others are similar). The wines are very good and reasonably priced, with a nice selection each quarter and the opportunity to choose which wines you like. Customer service is stellar - they always answer the phone, and it's very easy to make changes or special requests. I once had to change my shipping address and they even graciously helped me do that after the change deadline. I visited once a few years ago and had a small group tasting which was a really nice experience. Highly recommend read more

I've been a club member here for about a year, but just did my first tasting and tour (which is the only downside -- a bit difficult to get a tasting, as they are open on weekdays until 3:30, and only by appointment.) Justin did a good job as pourer/guide. Nice atmosphere/environment - beautiful grounds and cave, while being laid-back and unpretentious - and good wines. Some are better than others, but there is good variety and most of the prices are reasonable, especially by Napa standards! read more

This is the best tasting and tour we experienced in Napa. Great wine, nice family and Justin was lots of fun and knowledgeable.

I had the most amazing experience here. The vineyard is gorgeous. Visiting the Truchard family and their amazing staff will make you feel like you were there visiting friends. Carlix was our wine tasting guide, he was extremely knowledgeable (probably because he is one of the guys who actually makes the wine). He shared all the history and stories behind the Truchard family and how they came to have their Vineyard and answered a TON of questions we had because we were not the most wine savvy people. He took us down into the cave where we got to smell fresh new barrels and sip some delicious Cab . We finished our tasting with a walk through the vineyard to see their inspiration for their iconic Truchard logo. I left feeling extra special as Carlix gifted me a birthday present (it was actually my birthday). 10/10 would recommend and would definitely return when I'm back in Napa. read more

Truchard was the first winery we visited once we arrived in Napa and the experience set the tone for the remainder of the trip. The staff was warm, friendly, and infinitely helpful. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking, and their wines are excellent. I'm personally not a white wine fan, but when I tried their Chardonnay I couldn't believe how great it was. I would definitely recommend Truchard Vineyard to anyone visiting Napa. Of the ten + wineries we visited, Truchard was a favorite. read more

Fantastic experience! A breath of fresh air amongst the numerous wineries in Napa / Sonoma. The tasting includes a guided tour of the property (which is beautiful) and their wine is very palatable - both complex and subtle at the same time. Justin gave us the tour and tasting and knew how to make the experience more than just shoving wine in front of us (as many wineries do) - he fostered conversation, taught us a bunch about the property and wine, and was genuinely interested in any questions we had. Can't recommend enough! Just go there! read more

If you are looking for a "big vineyard with a family feel" this is the place. They are family run and the employees have been there for many years. I appreciate the individual time the server took - walking through the vineyards tasting the grapes!!! Affordable but high quality. Authentic. Great quality. Great read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Truchard Vineyards. It was worth the wait to get an appointment because the entire experience was special and memorable. We visited during harvest so we got to see grape crushing and learn about the process. We took a tour of the vineyards and the property is breathtakingly beautiful! The wine is delicious and the prices are incredibly reasonable. A cab franc for $38?! Serena was our tour guide and she was AMAZING! She provided a hands-on tour and really took the extra step to personalize our tasting. If you're looking for more than just a bar or seated tasting, and want to actually explore the property and learn about wine-making, I would 100% recommend Truchard. Just keep in mind that you need to make an appointment, but it's definitely worth it! Thanks Serena! read more

I am born and raised in SF Bay Area. I have been a customer of Truchard for more than one decade. This is the only wine club I belong to. This is the only winery in which I buy wine for friends, family, and customers. I just got back from Italy, and I toured Tuscany. Tuscany is nice, but overrated. The wine and surroundings at Truchard far exceed the Italians. read more

A lot of vineyard tours are geared towards wine tasting but Truchard offers a great all-around experience. What I most appreciated about Truchard was the authenticity. It's a working vineyard that is family owned and you'll see that when you're there. You'll get an opportunity to visit the wine cave, walk around the grounds, and learn a little bit about the history of the vineyard. You may even spot Mr. and Mrs. Truchard since they still live on the property. Their wines are delicious and since they grow a large variety of grapes there is always a large selection to choose from. I'd highly recommend scheduling a tour and when you see how much care and passion goes into their product, you'll likely walk away with a bottle or two or twelve. BONUS: They have a bunch of kitties running around! read more

We made an appointment for one of the hour-ish long tours/tastings here and I was truly wowed by the love that our guide Aida described goes into literally every vine. She was all warm smiles as she greeted us and walked us into the tasting room. After a fascinating background talk on Tony & Joanne, the couple who own and still work the vineyard with their youngest son, Aida started us off with a pour of their buttery (yum!) Chardonnay. Glasses in hand, we all walked up into the grapevines, growing in the backyard of the main house. Aida poured us Merlot & pointed out the different types of grapes growing across the acreage that stretched far beyond our line of sight. In between the vines and alongside one of the 8 clay-lined pools on the grounds (all built to catch rainwater & sustain the whole 400-acre vineyard for a whopping 3 years!) were various fruit trees. Tony's passion for growing has translated into most every kind of fruit tree thriving on the property; we saw pears, figs, olives & plums. Somewhere on the property, there's even a vegetable garden. Fascinating guy, Tony - Aida actually said that he knows each vine and they even (offsite) press their own olive oil! After a pour of the Pinot, we headed into the caves. Whereas the full sun heated us up while walking through the grapevines, the 60-degree cave cooled us right down. Oak barrels lined the expansive cave, and Aida even showed us the far end where they held an event for their club members. Neato! A pour of their (very good) Cabernet finished off our tour as we headed back to the tasting room where we started. Aida graciously answered lots of questions & offered a pour of their chilled Roussanne dessert wine as we perused the different bottles for sale. Prices were all in the $30-ish range, & the purchase of two bottles waives one tour/tasting fee. Aida made this tour/tasting experience truly special with her warmth and obvious respect for the family. What a great way to taste and experience Napa!! read more

I made an appointment for 4 at Truchard because I read online they have vineyards and include a tour of the cave. The tour itself didn't feel very informative, it was rather short, and we spent very little time in the cave. It was cool that they tried to be interactive and poured wine while we toured the grounds ("toured" is a bit misleading since we walked a total of like 100 feet into the vineyards). Overall, it's not a terrible vineyard to stop at, but if you are looking for a more complete vineyard tour and experience I would go somewhere else like Kunde. The tasting room here is very mom and pop, I actually think the vineyards are someones backyard, so I guess you could call that personable, but it felt a little ghetto and the wines were unexciting. read more

We are happy wine club members who brought friends here for a tasting yesterday. The wine is spectacular, the property is gorgeous, their story is inspirational, and host Justin is truly a rockstar. He is patient, knowledgeable, funny, and makes the guests feel so special. Truchard never disappoints and should be at the top of your list for a unique and delicious winery experience. read more

My husband read on a Wine Blog that Truchard Vineyards was definitely a place to visit (tour and taste) while vacationing in Napa. He definitely steered us correctly. It is a smaller family owned winery experience. Reservations/appointments are required. We were greeted by Matt who provided us a tour of the property and a wine tasting. We also got to explore their caves which has a beautiful entrance. He provided us an in-depth history of the family and the property and the beginning of the winery. The wine we tasted was delicious! It was so good we had to join their Wine Club. Their prices are beyond reasonable and your tasting fee is waived with a wine purchase. (I don't remember how many bottles needed to be purchased). I highly recommend making a reservation and visiting Truchard. Give yourself a minimum of 2.5 hours to enjoy the tour and tasting without feeling rushed. They do not sell in stores so you must purchase wine on property or through their Wine Club. It was also cool to learn that they supply grapes to many popular Napa wineries such as Mondavi, Nickel & Nickel, and Far Niente, just to name a few. read more

Hard to find and by appointment only. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/truchard-vineyard-napa?select=r80gMg_wwEQqwPDQXYWuSA#8IDCkCpSwu3M-MsMuzTZ8A Three small tastings per day, so beware, you may not get to tasting here. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/truchard-vineyard-napa?select=r80gMg_wwEQqwPDQXYWuSA#gQvxNz5H_BaO16DOoMIomQ Very good price point on Chard and Merlot, considering the high quality of the two wines. Second best Chardonnay in Napa. Tastes like champange without the bubbles. No malolactic fermentation for the Chardonnay. Fruit forward with a full palate of stone and citrus notes. Second best Merlot in Napa valley. I truly hate Merlot after the movie Sideways tried to make it out to be more than it is. This Merlot is very special. The Merlot is done in a Cab style. It is quite good and worthy of a purchase. It actually tastes more like cab than their cab. read more

Who needs a guidebook when you have Yelp app on your iPhone!?!? We were on a road trip and driving to Napa from SF. I found Truchard on the way there, and called to make an appointment. Luckily, we were able to get an appointment that afternoon. Upon arriving, we were greeted by Adrian. When we got there, we were the only ones there and he told us 4 other people would be joining us on the tour. Adrian was a great host, he was very friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and funny. I loved that there were only 6 of us and the tour felt very casual and intimate. And very informative. Quite frankly, I showed up at Napa Valley not knowing too much about the region, so I really appreciated the short "lecture" he gave us with the map of the region. He even had us taste their Cabernet Sauvignon right out of a barrel in the wine cave, where the wine is being aged. The tasting consisted of 6 kinds of wine and the fee is $15. But they waive it if you purchase a bottle (that's such a great idea). I am a Chardonnay lover and they had one of the best Chardonnay I've ever tasted. Picked up two bottles. Could not be happier with this visit. Would definitely be back when we are in the area again!! Thank you Adrian! Thank you yelpers! read more

I am not a wine person because I don't know about wine nor a drinker person but never imagined this is the most wonderful amazing experienced I've ever been, simple but the feelings with the environment while drinking variety of tasteful wine never ever imagine I would enjoyed it the most for my whole life... the feelings that you only feel the positivity in your life that you more appreciate the nature and life with this simplicity of the environment connected with the nature bonus with the dosing anti depressant wine..I mean the best of the best anti depressant medicine in my whole life is this wine in this wonderful vineyard. I can't control my self but crying because I'm thankful for all the blessings I've had and that's the only feelings I can feel at the moment on that place after drinking there wine...

We became wine club members after the tour! What more can I say? Adrian, the wine marketing director, who gave us the tour was very personable, warm, gracious, and knowledgeable. One can even forgive him for being a loyal Packers fan because his personality definitely compensated for this major setback... This tour is a definite stop because everyone is allowed to drink the wines while touring the vineyards and caves. Every single varietal we sampled were smooth, complex, and palatable. I was a major fan of the Roussanne wine before this tour and Truchard's version has converted me to a cult follower! Truchard believes in creating quality wines without the exorbitant price tag. I am looking forward to our first shipment. read more

Emailed two days before I needed to visit and they were able to accommodate two people. They responded fairly quickly and during our two hour tasting we did a lot for the price of $40. We tasted about 6 wines, toured the vineyard as well as the cave. It's a very family oriented operation. You can tell how passionate our guide Carlix was about the wine because he also wears other hats for the wine made onsite. Would definately recommend for someone looking for a different type of wine tasting. read more

After some research and going back and forth between so many options, I decided on Truchard because of such great reviews. Now Im writing one because our experience was great! Im going to keep it short and simple. It was intimate, personal, informative and beautiful! Our host Adrian was very knowledgeable and passionate about the vineyard. We enjoyed our tour and samples of wine...purchasing about 6 bottles. Definitely recommend coming here and would agree with other viewers about it being a "hidden gem" of Napa. read more

Wow.... This was my favorite stop of our 4 day winery tours. When we were in Napa, I remembered that a year ago I was in San Diego and had a wonderful Carneros Chardonnay with dinner and that I had taken a picture of the bottle. So... naturally I thought it would be a great place to visit to buy some of their wine. It was the highlight of my trip. Tastings in the cave, learning about how it started, seeing the grounds. It was so relaxing and enjoyable. I loved all of their wines. A+ Thank you. Cheers read more

We had a very friendly and personable afternoon tour of the family owned and run vineyards at Truchard. My wife and I are just really learning about wine so naturally we had plenty of questions. We were guided through their history, what makes their wine unique, which made us come away from this experience impressed and very pleased. We ordered three bottles when leaving and look forward to recommending Truchard to anyone who is looking for a tour that is nice break away from the bigger wineries in the region. read more

Myself and a friend decided to call on a Monday to setup a quick tasting with no tour and we were delighted to have a nice personal setup with our host and pourer Pablo. He was very informative and wonderful to talk to. We loved the wine cave and every wine served to us. As mentioned by many others, the prices were all very reasonable especially for the superb quality of the wines! We plan on coming back in the future for a full tour and tasting! Pay attention to the custom wine barrel shelves they have! They have a contact in case you are interested in some for your wine setup. read more

On Saturday, we were moving a little more slowly and didn't hit our first tasting until 11am. Our first stop was Truchard Vineyard. It's on a private residence so you have to have an appointment (but the tasting is free). Their tasting area is in a cute little barn and the grounds were beautiful. I also purchased two wines here - the Rousanne and the Petit Verdot. My friend joined their wine club. We were there on a morning where many local wine club members were picking up their loot. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We also met the owners of the vineyard. Tony stopped in briefly as he was out working in the fields. Jo Ann is so friendly and visited with us a while. Truchard Vineyard is small and intimate. It was a welcomed change from all of the touristy vineyards and was one of my favorite stops on our trip. Add it to your touring list...you will not be disappointed. read more

What a gorgeous winery! My boyfriend recently took me here. He booked a tour for us (all the tours are private). Our guide took his time and gave us the history of this family owned and operated winery. The property is absolutely beautiful. There are places throughout the grounds if you want to bring a picnic. My favorite part was being able to walk around the vineyard sipping wine. The caves were very cool. When we were there, they were doing some work to improve the space. I enjoyed listening to the stories and tasting the different varieties. My favorites were the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Simply delicious. read more
