    Awesome family-owned gem! We came for my friend's birthday, and they made it extra special with complimentary dessert wine and truffles. The views are absolutely stunning, and the vibe is lively and welcoming. Can't recommend it enough!

    The first vintage!

    While spending a week in Napa, my wife and I visited a lot of great wineries with excellent wine. I found that the wines at ZD, however, may have been the best in our trip. The Pinot Noirs were exceptional and so smooth, I loved them! The winery itself is very pretty. The tasting area overlooks the vineyards which provides a great setting. If you're headed to Napa, I'd suggest adding ZD Wines to the list of wineries to visit. I'm glad we did!

    There are times in life when you just need to step back and reflect on an experience that seems like a normal occurrence when in reality it was indeed a special event. Being able to take in two special but distinctive wineries was learning experience and appreciation of what really good vineyards accomplish. ZD (Zero Defects) Wines definitely tops the charts in the true Napa experience. Upon arrival, it seems the isolated property is without splashy fanfare. But once you pass through the large glass doors, you realize that the wine tasting you are about to have is indeed top notch. The hostess promptly seated us to a picturesque view of the Napa Valley basin with their vineyards in the foreground. Just to take in the view and architecture gives you an appreciation of the thought ZD Wines wanted for their visitors. After going through the 2021 Founder's Reserve Pinot and 2007 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, it was time for the Main Event; Abacus XXV 25th Bottling. What I knew about wine at this point was infantile compared to what I was going to experience. My tasting was a 3-oz serving through a Coravin pour; if you've never seen one done, it's quite a visual display and way to keep the cork in the bottle to retain it's freshness. Upon first sip, I realized that Abacus XXV was no ordinary wine and that all the other fermented grapes that I had in the past were just Welch's Grape soda. My palate immediately knew how special this wine was; not a tiny hint of acidity or bitterness that even average/good wines have. The aroma was pleasantly floral with the harmonious balance of sweetness. My friend ending up purchasing a 3-bottle pack, we were escorted downstairs where they stock all their barrels. Nice finishing touch to a great visit. Thanks to ZD Wines, I will no longer be able to have a "normal" glass of wine during a steak dinner without recalling what a truly wonderful wine should be; they have spoiled me and I'm all the more better for it. Should you ever find yourself looking for a winery to experience in Napa, do not hesitate to make ZD Wines at the top of your list

    Tasty wines, beautiful setting, even some chocolates in the mix. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Just wish they would have waived our tasting fees with our purchases like most of the other wineries.

    Rafael is so charming and was a fantastic host! We enjoyed the wines and ambience and so happy they were open. The outside terrace overlooking vineyards is so peaceful. The wines were excellent and we have already finished them and need to replenish. We will return!

    One of my favorite wineries and a hidden gem I believe. I love this place. They are always accommodating and have one of the most fabulous view of the Napa from their balcony. Their wines are amazing especially the founder's reserve pinot noir. The food is great but the view of the Silverado Trails is fantastic. I have been coming here since the the out break of Covid 19 and this is a great place for a wine tasting venue.

    Very great wine tasting tour, with a very fun guide. John was fantastic! He was friendlly and knowledgeable with the wines. Excited to pop open our purchased bottles with a yummy dinner at home!

    Eric gave us the best tour. We visited 3 wineries today and ZD was by far the best experience and the best wine. Highly recommended.

Everyone having wine chose the Signature Flight, which included one white and three reds. I appreciated the option to substitute a Sauvignon Blanc for the Chardonnay, a nice personal touch. Each wine was distinctive, balanced, and delicious in its own way. You could really tell the care and craftsmanship behind every pour. What really stood out was the hospitality. Our host was not only incredibly thoughtful but impressively knowledgeable. She explained where each wine's grapes were grown, described the flavor profiles we could expect, and added insights into how the terroir influenced the wine -- all without it ever feeling too technical or over our heads. Even better, our designated driver was offered iced tea, lemonade, or an Arnold Palmer, which I really appreciated. It's always a plus when tasting rooms consider the full group's experience, not just the drinkers. The vibe was so warm and relaxing, we ended up staying for over two hours. It felt less like a stop and more like a true experience. Definitely one of the highlights of our time in downtown Napa.

But dog friendly. Quality/Quantity - I had a hard time with the website making my appointment, it's a user issue as I am just not tech savvy. So I called and someone actually answered the phone and made my appointment for me, THANK you! We arrived 15 mins early, so we hung out in the lobby reading all the history, etc. Then Skip took us to the best view overlooking the vineyard for our tasting; see pictures! We sampled almost ALL the reds! All of which were good. See pictures. I like the fact that we did side by side tastings of many of his wines. My favorites were the 2022 Primitivo and 2021 Malbec, which we bought a few bottles of. Ambiance - Secluded private winery. Close to main Downtown Napa, but far enough away for privacy and a feeling of being far away. Appointment only, so very private and customer focused. Typically no more than 3 parties at a time. Today was considered a very busy day as there were 4 parties including us, lol. Gated private estate. 200 acres. Plenty of parking, especially since hosting only 3 guests at a time. Events - See their website. Well behaved dogs are allowed outdoors. Service - Skip is a history buff and we both talked for hours... After leaving, well really the next day (LOL), I realized that our tasting was supposed to be only 60 minutes. I guess because we got along so well, we stayed until closing! And he gave me a glass with a generous splash and let us walk the property alone after they left! So welcoming and trusting. Price - Depends on which tasting and what you buy; see their website for prices. Tastings range from $50 to $100 per person. One free designated driver allowed. Tasting fees waived with wine equivalent purchases. Hike tours $75 per person ($60 for club members). See their website for more information.

Housley seemed to fit the bill--good reviews, dog-friendly (we had her dog with us), and what seemed to be a reasonable tasting price. We get there and we realize it's owned by Tamera Mowry (who is now Mowry-Housley!) There's a picture of her and her husband (a former baseball player) in the window. We're sort-of starstruck. Shortly after, her husband (and the winery's owner) Adam walks up with their daughter and asks us how we're doing. We continue to be starstruck. Service was wonderful. Seating was comfy. The views weren't the best (we were drinking on the sidewalk and there's a parklet too.) The 5 wines for $29 was not bad, but the size of the pours was lacking. The first pour was the smallest and then slowly they seemed to give us more (maybe they heard me!) Honestly, the pricier wines tasted better. I wish our wine tasting could've been free if we bought two bottles or something--I would've done that! Cute merch and store with goodies inside. Bathroom is clean. Would be back!
