We went many years ago when Arnold Tudal was still there. Loved it!! We live in another state, but this is Quaint and a don't miss small winery. read more

Casual, welcoming and beautiful! You'll love the charm of this rustic winery. Writing on the walls, thick lush garden, and old sturdy well producing vines make this place a must stop! Dogs, antiques, history. The educators are personable, fun, and sure have great suggestions!! Wait til u taste the wine. This will be one of your favorite stops in the valley!! read more

This was the last stop of a day long wine tasting tour and the tour company saved the best for last. It's a beautiful property that relaxes you and provides the perfect ambiance to enjoy wine. We got to hang out with Ron the wine maker and every single bottle we tried tasted amazing. After a day of wine tasting, this place knocked it out of the park. Every single bottle tasted greater, without any of the acidity some of the other wineries had with their vintage. The white and red had great flavor, full body, and aromatic. Additionally, their wines are priced reasonably without the exorbitant Napa Valley prices. We had wine tasting on a farm style dining table and Ron the wine maker bring wine that compliments and enhanced our experience. Ron has over 50 years of experience and the taste of the wine shows. It's not over processed and perfectly blended. All of this is set in a beautiful little garden strung full of lights and surrounded by herbs and flowers. We loved our time here and will make a trip back next time we come to Napa ValleyI. read more

I really enjoyed this winery. They have beautiful decor and repurposed items. I really enjoyed walking around and looking at it all. They have one of the oldest vines I've ever seen. The guides were very friendly and informative. The wines were pretty good. Of course, each person has their preference. We did see the two dogs who are very friendly. We checked out their little shop, I was one of those that "tagged" my name on it. The cost of the wines are reasonable. This is definitely a place I would love to have as my backyard. I can only imagine having a picnic out there. read more

This is the kind of winery experience I absolutely LOVE! As I say 'you don't drink marketing' and here you drink in the atmosphere and the wines! Snuggled amongst some of the great 'old gentleman' vines I saw in the entire Valley, the proprietor often is on site to help you and chew the fat. He knows his wines and vines and is friendly and loves to tell you the story of Tudal! The tasting wines were terrific and the staff knowledgeable and friendly. The grounds are surrounded by vines and offer a unique atmosphere. I loved this visit and I equally loved the wines. The outdoor area is only outdone by the backroom, which offers some seating right amongst the barrels! My HINT here: Don't miss Pablo's Pick Cuvee! A delightful blend you will lust after immediately! and if they still have it in stock, buy a copy of Wine Dogs and have it 'autographed' by the resident, and very friendly, wine dog! Loads of fun plus wonderful wines! read more

APPOINTMENT REQUIRED We were trying (and trying!) to find a winery that did not need an appointment. This one did not say it on their Yelp masthead, but once we arrived - sure enough - they only take appointments - BUT the lady who runs it said she had a couple coming in 15 mins and we could join them. So we spent the time walking around their cool and eclectic garden (jumbo JENGA!) (apparently all wineries in Napa need an appointment now - some kind of new law - so wineries can account for how many visitors they get since there is a daily limit.) The skinny Italian lady (I forget her name, started with an A - Allessia or something like that) took on a tour (or sorts - this is a SMALL winery)... There was a current Yelp deal (20% off a case) - which the tour lady didn't know about- but was happy to honor. Fun little place with some nice Italian style wines, would be fun to be a member b/c looks like there events are not HUGE, and more like large family gatherings. read more

Small location, with a small collection of wine. The host was friendly and lots of fun! He allowed us to go into the cellar and even offered to take our pictures. We signed the walls of this winery and had a blast just talking and tasting wine. The fee for this winery is reasonable and while it says by appointment only, they are pretty open to the public. The wine itself was not to my taste but their pinot was pretty good. They have a beautiful yard where you can picnic at and even host parties. Overall, a great place to visit. I would definitely go back. Brent was amazing! read more

Had such a wonderful tasting with Doug last month that I joined their wine club - my first! Returned yesterday to pick up my wine club allotment and enjoyed a picnic at one of their many outdoor tables (after my tasting, of course). The grounds are lovely and whimsical. Looking forward to attending a club event soon. Absolutely adore this place. It deserves the five stars. read more

Let me first start by saying that the online pictures for this place do not do it justice. This is an absolutely gorgeous boutique winery. The grounds are impeccable. Very country, and humble, while simultaneously gorgeously designed. Country shabby chic is the best way to describe this spot. Just be sure to call ahead and book an appt since they do not take walk-ins. Gardens (with actual fruits and veggies for the picking), tables, trellises, bocce, and oversized Jenga are some of the options while spending the day here. I was really impressed by their wines. Not only are they highly reasonable prices but they are also very delicious. Well-balanced sugars, great flavors that touch the tongue, and overall quality. We enjoyed the two Sauvignon Blancs (starting at $15/bottle) and Rose ($15/bottle) during our visit. We also had the pleasure of tasting some of their more special red wines. All of them were fantastic. If you are looking for something off the beaten track, less touristy, and a great spot to spend your day, look no further than Tudal Winery. read more

This was one of the best wine tastings I've ever been to. Thank you Angie.... your knowledge, humor and storytelling made for a great afternoon. We are now members because of you, the Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is amazing! read more

A friend/co-worker had helped me get a tasting appt for this place. I honestly have never heard of their wines but was very open into checking them out. Their winery is very cute, rustic and pleasant. We were greeted right after we got off our car and was directed to their tasting room. Our guide was very knowledgeable, fun to listen and talk to and was accommodating. Their wines were really good too! would definitely recommend this place! read more

I recently went to Tudal on a Saturday afternoon as part of my bachelorette weekend with 10 girlfriends. I had been to Tudal about 6 years ago with my fiancé on a Platypus wine tour and loved it, so suggested we make it a stop on our list for lunch. It was the absolute PERFECT experience from the moment we arrived. We had picked up sandwiches at Dean and Deluca and just planned to sit for a bit at Tudal's picnic tables for a quick bite, then do our tasting and tour, but when we arrived Felicia had the most beautiful set up for us. The picnic tables were covered with nice table cloths, there were centerpieces on the tables, all the wine glasses were set up with a taste of rose for us to enjoy as we ate our lunch. Throughout lunch Felicia chatted with us about the winery & their wines, and poured us tastings of their other wine, which were all delicious. Once we were finished with lunch, John took us on a tour of their winery, and we even got to climb the catwalk between the fermenting tanks to get a birds eye view of the winery... pretty fun! The winery has an awesome rustic feel complete with a bocce ball court, garden & various other areas for tastings. Felicia and John made us feel at home, and relaxed. It was the perfect stop on our wine tour and we will without a doubt be back. Thank you John & Felicia, we're all still talking about what a perfect afternoon we had! read more

Excellent tour by Angie! A-MAZING!! We loved the quaint and cozy winery. It felt very warm and inviting. The wines were delicious! Angie was extremely personable and funny as hell!! She can easily be a stand up comedian!! She was very knowledgeable and helpful on pairing suggestions. We loved it! read more

I have to say this is a really fun and off the beaten path winery. Great staff, delish wines, and rustic ambiance lend to a down to earth yet elegant tasting experience. This is a place you can leave your mark in your wine journey and come back years later. Def make an appointment here. Angie was fantastic! read more

Lots of changes here at Tudal but one thing has NOT changed and that is the GREAT wines. The prices are not to be believed. They can hold their own against wines priced much higher. They have an incredible variety of well-made wines and the visit to the winery is relaxed, educational and just plain fun. The views are great, the history is fascinating and the wines are excellent. What more could you ask for? Go and see for yourself. Thanks Sean! read more

We went to Tudal after visiting the impressive but touristy Castle de la Rosa winery. It was just what I was looking for in a winery experience; invitingly whimsical, a feast of natural beauty & charming decor with open sitting areas that offer just enough shade to take it all in while sipping on your favorite bottle of wine or two. I honestly could have stayed there we'll into the evening as I only can imagine the setting at night with its firepit & hung lighting & wandering paths. A charming young man I believe by the name of Carter greeted & took good care of us during our visit. I can't wait to visit again one day. read more

I could not be more impressed by a winery in California. Tudal is most literally an escape from reality. You have a bocce court, rustic atmosphere with gardens and only vineyards and scenery within view. I like the fact you can't see roads or cars- you are just smack in the middle of wine country in a serene setting. I think we got lucky in meeting the owner,John Tudal, a very down to earth person who's biggest traits seem to be good wine and making sure his guests are treated exceptionally. If you're looking for history, great wine and a place to relax and soak in the atmosphere- I couldn't recommend this place enough. read more

Tucked in St. Helena, this winery is a cozy little nook to get your wine on. Loved the rustic feel here, and Matt gave us a great wine tasting via the Living Social Deal we got. Included in tour and tastings was a game of Bocce Ball. When we came it was about 50 degrees outside, post-rain, and empty. Awesome. more wine for us. Matt was knowledgeable, laid back, and even showed us the rules of Bocce which me or my husband had never played before. Super fun and now we cant wait for the Summer to come back and do it again. Wines were okie dokie. We tried a couple Cabs, a merlot, and a very fruity dessert wine. All good and went well with our game. ;) Come here is you want, cozy, intimate and laid back tasting. Very glad we came here since everyone was out of Napa thinking it was going to rain this weekend. read more

This place felt so much like home it was amazing. Everyone wants friendly, they encouraged you to wander around and take home vegetables they were growing or eggs their chickens produced that they didn't have room for. It was a small town country feel in the middle of Napa. The people were great, the wine was great, the atmosphere was great. I would deffinitely come back to this place just to have lunch in their backyard and have a bottle of their red blend read more

I cannot say enough good things about Tudal. Its become my number 2 favorite winery in the valley. The winery itself is incredible, the tasting was very hands on, very informative very cool. We got there and were greeted right away by a charming woman who was smart and funny, very eager to answer questions, very knowledgeable. The wines were very nice- I am a Cab fan and there's doesn't disappoint. We got to tour the vineyards- check sugar levels in the fields- climb up onto their fermenters, see the bottling truck, try reds in an old tractor shed and enjoy a few sips in their amazing courtyard filled with rustic artisan sculptures. We wrote our names with marker on the wall of their tasting room and guessed the "wine word of the day" and won a free bottle of wine! This place is amazing. read more

The friendliest, most informative stop on our Living Social/Go Vine tour. We were the only ones in for the 2:30 tasting, and our host even came out to the car to meet us. Alas, it was way too rainy for bocce, but we had a great time chatting away with Doug, getting a bit of wine education, and figuring out how close their sister winery - Cerutti - is to our new pad. Awesome! Great knowledge, great stories, very welcoming. In fact, they told us to come back with a bag in the summer to share in some of the bounty from their veggie garden since there is too much for the staff to use. Another small winery that does it right. read more

Didn't like the reds too much, guide was relatively new. Nice place as it has games in the back, two friendly dogs as well. Just not really my place for wine. Wine tasting was $15. read more

Angie is amazing!!!! Had such a fun time. The winery is beautiful and very unique. We came here with our Platypus tour and would absolutely return. read more

"As good as it gets" is right. I love this place. A small winery with the original charm of Napa. Not that stuffy commercialized overrun wineries that forgot about the people. Our guide James was excellent, very knowledgeable and good mannered. This little winery is a hidden gem definitely worth checking out. You need a reservation so make sure they have time for you. They didn't charge us for wine tasting since we purchased a few bottles of their Rose and Cab. The 50/50 cab blend was very good. Also there are many tables for a nice picnic that we did not know about. Definitely returning on my next trip. Thanks John and James. read more

Such a quaint winery. Loved being able to have an up high view of the vineyards and the bocce ball court. Small variety of wines, but enough for everyone to find one they liked. It was a plus having all the fun doggies running around. read more

Chris and Charlie were great hosts.The wines are fantastic as well. So glad we stopped in here. We came right when they were about to close and they still did a tasting for us without ever feeling rushed. I couldn't say more good things about this place. If I could, I would absolutely host a party here! You just have to come and see for yourself. If you want a laid back fun atmosphere, some generous wine tasting and great hosts, then you have to check them out! They are so down to earth. Absolutely awesome! We definitely left here with some delicious wines to bring home! Thanks for an incredible experience!! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back soon! read more

Tudal Winery - Awesome. These guys are amazing!!! - Wineries Near Me - Saint Helena, California

Stingy with my 5's hard for me to think of why I disagree with other review that are 5. This place is a hidden gem and John rocks! It is amazing what an atmosphere can do to make somewhere over the top enjoyable. You can relax, visit with friends and sip wine. You can even collect an egg from the hen house. Need an appointment, but if you forget, just asked for one for 5 minutes after you get there, if they have space you are in! Also, plan to spend a good bit of time here, you will not sip and run... read more

Cannot recommend this winery enough. It has a great small, authentic vibe. The gardens are fabulous. The customer service stupendous and the wine fantastic. read more

I was lucky enough to have been taken here on a full day wine tasting tour. Tudal was my favorite spot! Fantastic wine, GREAT people, relaxed and welcoming vibe, quaint and rustic atmosphere, AND they have a house for rent that I plan on using for my 40th birthday next year! I emailed to ask about it and Megan offered a bundle of lovely extras along with the house. Talk about going above and beyond! Can't wait for my next trip up to Napa. I'll be stopping by again! read more

My favorite winery from our trip this weekend. Beautiful place, fantastic wine and wonderful owner and winemaker. We went to 8 vineyards and all 10 of us agreed that Tudal was the number 1. read more

I booked a private tasting here for my friend and I the weekend after Thanksgiving. I'm happy to say it was a most pleasant experience! The gentleman who lead the tasting was so friendly and made the experience very down to earth and fun. I've been enjoying their Cab for some time, so to actually get to see the winery was a real treat. The property is very inviting and rustic. You feel as though you're hanging out in a friend's back yard. Happy to say I joined the wine club and plan to visit the winery again next year! read more

We had so much fun at this laid back winery. The guys running the place were warm and inviting. We were the only ones there when we walked in. We had small talk and before we knew it we were jamming along with a guitar and banjo. This was by far our favorite stop while in Napa. Oh yeah and the wines were great too!! read more

I've been to Napa a handful of times, and this was hands down the best experience I have had. The people are fantastic, the grounds are gorgeous, and wine is pretty darn good! We were lucky enough to have the wine maker Ron, pour our tasting for us - which was a treat in itself! We had the pleasure of chatting with the owner as well. This place has a great family feel and is what Napa should be. Down to earth, relaxing atmosphere, and tasty wines from Rose to Cabernet. Bring a picnic and prepare to just hang. We were there for 2 hours and were sad to leave. They have beautiful gardens where you can pick fresh vegetables and games like giant chess, bocce, and jenga, which are great if you come with a group. If it is your 1st time to Napa or your 10th, put this one on your list! read more

We had the opportunity to visit this charming winery where you will be greeted by their friendly doggie. Then James helped us out and gave us the low-down on the winery in Napa. We enjoyed a leisurely tour of Tudal's gardens, barrel room, and shed before settling into the tasting room. James poured some fantastic wines ~ Rose, Sauv Blac, Cab and their 50/50 Cab blend, just a few of their wines. This also is one of the rare locations in Napa Valley that allow picnic lunches, had we known we would have scheduled our appointment with a picnic lunch. The experience we had was relaxing, fun, intimate and without pretense. I recommend a visit to Tudal on your next trip out to wine country. read more

Loved it! Such a fun time at tudal with Richard. The mini tour and tasting were great, but I most enjoyed the scenery and sampling wines in the garden. Glad I got to meet Sadie the winery pup. Can't wait to open my bottles. read more

Outstanding, four generation, Family owned, NapaValley winery producing excellent wines. Their cab is highly regarded as is their blended wines. read more

Fantastic. The friendliest staff, the prettiest vegetable and herb plants, and no decomposed granite to get stuck in our shoes :)

What a wonderful hidden gem winery! Tucked in between Calistoga and St Helena, this family has done an amazing job of maintaining the small family winery farm feel. Their original grapes make some fabulous Cabs but the red blends including the Tractor Shed Red is one I could sit and drink all day telling stories with John or Pablo and relaxing on one of their farm couches. Definitely stop by Tudal to enjoy this experience - you won't regret it. read more

A hidden gem of Napa. They make you feel like family (Pablo is the man!!). Their property is unique and quaint. Beautiful artistic pieces they create themselves cover the landscape. They have lovely picnic space and fun games like bocce, chess & jenga. Their pets roam around and make friends. While you explore around, they find you to fill up your cups with their yummy wine! On one hand, I don't want other people to find this secret... but at the same time, I want to tell every person I know. I wish more places in Napa were like this! read more

This winery is a MUST visit on your wine country trip! Be prepared to spend some time on the beautiful grounds, with the friendly staff and tasting the amazing wines. Not stuffy or snooty like some of your stops in the Napa Valley, but the wines are top notch! Thanks Felicia, John, Charlie & Alex for a great experience!!!! read more
