We decided to do a last-minute wine tasting while visiting Napa and ended up at Trinitas Cellars…read more It turned out to be a great choice. There was plenty of street parking available, making it easy to get there. Once inside, we immediately noticed the ambiance. The space is elegant and welcoming, making it perfect for either a group wine-tasting experience or a date night. We booked online for a party of two and chose the Legacy Tasting, along with the sweet and savory snack pairing. Every wine in the Legacy Collection was excellent. Each pour offered something different, and we enjoyed the entire lineup. The snack pairing was also well done and complemented the wines nicely. A special shoutout to Luke, who made the experience even better. He was knowledgeable, informative, and took the time to explain the wines without making the tasting feel rushed. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Great wine, great atmosphere, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area and in the mood for some wine.

We arrived 30 minutes before closing and they were covering up the outdoor furniture which is fine for a slow evening, we'd happily do a tasting inside at the bar. But we were told they could only do a glass to go. So much for the later hours. But the Costco around the corner has great deals so we got a $150 bottle of wine for $50 (less than 2 tastings) and took it to the waterfront and drank it while watching a beautiful sunset. I'd recommend that

We had the pleasure of meeting Lloyd and Mike and they were both so welcoming! Lloyd took great care in explaining the different wines and even poured us a few that were off the tasting menu. Let me just say that the wines were absolutely wonderful. Some of the best we have tried in quite some time. We purchased a 3 pack that had a rose, a Sauvignon Blanc and a wonderful red blend. I cannot say enough good things about this winery and I cannot wait to come back on our next trip to the Bay Area. I highly recommend a stop at Nottingham if you find yourself in Livermore.

Great wines, fun people…read more Did 5 wine tasting flight at Pairings in downtown Pleasanton. The individuals hosting the tasting were gregarious and happy to talk about their wines and why they loved them. My personal preference was for the Russian river Sauvignon Blanc, but that may have been influenced by how hot the day was (105 and sipping wine on the outdoor patio). The Oak Knoll Syrah was also nice, but too much for a hot day. I'm curious to visit their Livermore location after this event!

The last 3 we're much bolder and richer in flavor. Overall a nice experience.

An Unforgettable Bouchaine Experience!…read more My three girlfriends and I had the most amazing tasting experience at Bouchaine Vineyards. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and truly special. Our wine educator, Rob Fischer, was absolutely wonderful. He was warm, knowledgeable, funny and genuinely passionate about Bouchaine. He shared the winery's rich history in such an engaging way and made our tasting feel personal rather than rehearsed. Rob was a huge part of what made our visit so memorable. We especially loved learning that Bouchaine is the oldest continuously operating winery in Carneros and sits along the southern edge of Napa Valley, overlooking the beautiful vineyards near San Pablo Bay. We were also impressed to learn about the remarkable women helping lead the winery: proprietor and president Tatiana Copeland and president and winemaker Chris Kajani. The setting is gorgeous. We relaxed on the beautiful patio, surrounded by vineyards, and enjoyed the peaceful Carneros scenery while tasting some exceptional wines. It feels tucked away from the busier parts of Napa Valley, which makes the experience even more special. Rob also told us about the new wine cave currently being built into the hillside. It sounds incredible, and we are already looking forward to returning when it is finished! Bouchaine offers everything you hope for in a Napa Valley tasting: excellent wine, fascinating history, beautiful surroundings and personal hospitality. Thank you, Rob, for making four girlfriends feel so special. We will definitely be back!

The entire experience was stellar, beginning with a welcome glass of Vin Gris, which counts as one of the five wines in the tasting. We settled into comfortable, spacious semicircular couches with panoramic views overlooking the vineyards, gardens, and mountains beyond. What truly elevated our visit was Dulce, our hostess, who has more than 20 years of wine experience. She described each wine with such knowledge and detail that we were able to choose wines we genuinely enjoyed. But it was more than expertise. She shared her knowledge and passion so freely and with such heart that she made the afternoon feel special. Dulce is truly a gift to Bouchaine. The hospitality began even before we arrived. When we realized we didn't need as much time between wineries, we called and asked whether we could move our 3:30 tasting to 2:30. They accommodated us with grace. We ended up staying more than 2 1/2 hours and never once felt hurried. I especially appreciated the generous spacing between the seating areas, which gave each group privacy and made the tasting feel peaceful rather than crowded. The grounds were lovely, with purple agapanthus and black-eyed Susans blooming against the vineyards and mountains. Even the modern wood architecture--from the tasting room and offices to the beautifully designed bathroom--made us feel as though we were somewhere thoughtfully created and genuinely special. Every member of the staff we encountered was warm and welcoming. Some wineries you visit once because you're curious to experience them. Bouchaine is the kind of place I would return to simply because of how wonderful it felt to be there. Although I would definitely be getting the Gewurztraminer, Merlot, and Pinot Noirs again too.

Service was great, ed was so cute and funny naming the wines after famous pop culture icons…read more However- you cannot fix a bad location and not great wine. This winery does not grow their own grapes, and so is in an industrial part of town. While they did a good job of fixing up an area for customers to sit- traffic is loud. You're literally right beside a major free way and it is very loud if you sit outside. Wines were not our favorite. We would not come back. We prefer a quiet winery with a nice relaxing outdoor setting. That's not what you get here.

The small intimate setting, beautiful views, amazing wines at reasonable prices, and great cheese pairings made this place a stop to remember. I ended up buying a case and joining the wine club. They also waived our tasting fees with our bottle purchases (I think it's one tasting waived per two bottles but double check me on that). They also gave me a free (and quite sturdy and good quality) branded wine key, perhaps for joining the club. I also appreciated they gave us water bottles and allowed two of our guests (who were driving) to join us but not have to pay for the tasting. I wish more wineries allowed that to allow for safe and responsible tastings. Highly recommend and will definitely be back again! This by far will have to be a stop for us every time we come to Napa. Thank you Taylor Family Vineyards for a wonderful time!

The setting was SO intimate (we were the only ones there), the view was beautiful, and we were treated like family in someone's home. The owner even came out to greet us. It was so sweet. Their story was amazing, the wine pairings were great, and we loved every single wine we tried. This was the only winery we visited where every person in our group bought multiple bottles, a case or a membership to their wine club. All of us still get the email updates from the vineyard, and look forward to their spring release wines (specifically the Sauvignon Blanc & Rosé)! When I tell you every wine of theirs we tasted was amazing, I mean every single one! I've even received hand written cards every Christmas since we visited from the family. They truly made our experience so special. Their wine, their vineyard, their hospitality and the attention to detail made Taylor Family Vineyards our favorite winery to date. I can't wait to visit again!

This was my first time in Napa since I turned 21 last year, and starting off at this winery was…read moreprobably the best decision. My family and I came on a Saturday afternoon per the recommendation of the owners, who we met at a Tesla event. We didn't go to the vineyard itself, but the tasting room that they have in downtown Napa right along the river . We were greeted kindly and decided to settle on three tastings. My mind was blown by actually liking Rosè, a drink I usually am not a fan of! We started off with two white wines, followed by three various red blends, one of which we took a bottle home. They also have a neat membership program that is essentially of no cost per year as long as you buy a bottle a year (I believe there's some price minimum depending on the bottle). This also includes free tasting all year round for up to 6 people at a time. The wines were explained to us in great detail, and the guy explaining it to us (I wish I remembered his name, but he was great) entertained all our various questions as we are wine novices. Highly highly recommend !

Metal Art In The Blackbird Vineyards Field Exhibition Area…read more SITREP I stopped by recently in the City of Napa to take in the very cool metal artwork in the Blackbird Vineyards Field Exhibition right off Oak Knoll Avenue. [Note: whereas the Storefront sales office is located in Yountville, this part of the vineyard borders on the City of Napa, hence the apparent discrepancy with this location address.] THE SETUP The large metal art includes: (1) a giant key, (2) a just-as-giant keyhole, (3) a giant segment of chain-link, and, (4) a giant metal gear! As I was explaining my docent, I found the choice of items - and the metal - to make this a very creative exhibition in the Spirit of Steampunking! METAL ART-SCULPTURE EXPRESSION! This is just some very fun artwork and a very creative use of vineyard space where as explained to me that the soil is just too fallow and workable and perhaps a bit too close to the roadaway. THE LOWDOWN A stop to view some pretty amazing metal art-sculptures.

My husband and I were able to call ahead and schedule a very last-minute tasting, and from the very beginning, the hospitality was exceptional. I work in the wine industry on the retail side in Texas, while my husband does not, so creating an experience that feels both educational and approachable for both of us is not always easy. Steve absolutely nailed it. He welcomed us warmly, shared thoughtful stories about the wines and the winery, and made the experience feel incredibly personal. The tasting room itself is beautiful and feels like a hidden gem in Napa. We especially loved learning about the wines and the woman winemaker behind Levendi. The tasting was stunning from start to finish. What truly sets Levendi apart, though, is the level of hospitality. Since our visit, I have referred many of my favorite clients to Levendi, and Steve consistently goes above and beyond for them. He bends over backwards to make sure my customers are taken care of, and every single person I've sent has come back raving about their experience. At this point, a trip to Napa would not feel complete without a stop at Levendi. I honestly cannot imagine Napa without Levendi -- or Steve. If it's your first visit, do yourself a favor and try the Stagecoach. You won't be sorry.
