We had a wonderful time staying at the Cottage! The space was warm and cozy, a perfect weekend getaway. Tom & Judy were kind and friendly and the banana bread made a perfect welcome-snack. Would stay there again!

This was a great Airbnb experience. The cottage was perfect for a weekend trip to Napa. It looks exactly like it does in the pictures. Very cozy and well kept. Close to downtown Napa. Tom and Judy make you feel at home and are quick to respond to any questions or needs that we had. Also, did a great job on checking in prior to arrival about anything they could help with.

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying in Arto & Cheryl’s guest house. It was a beautiful wine country setting. The suite was very tastefully appointed, comfortable and immaculate. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Matt (July 2015)
This suite was perfect. My wife and I spent two nights here on our honeymoon. Arto and Cheryl were wonderful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. Arto even gave us a map and gave us great suggestions for ‘must-sees’ when we told him we were heading to San Francisco next. The surrounding areas are picturesque and quiet, and you can’t beat the view of the vineyard and the surrounding landscape. The suite was very clean and welcoming, and they left us breakfast items and a bottle of wine! We would definitely come back.

Vic and Georgie were great hosts. They were attentive to me and my wife’s questions and needs. The cottage behind their home was exactly as the listing says and the setting was beautiful and peaceful. This is the perfect place to stay to experience everything Napa Valley has to offer because it’s close to downtown Napa as well as tons of wineries. We would definitely stay here again next time we’re in Napa. Thanks for the wonderful experience Vic and Georgie.

Jamie (Sept 2015)

Jason (Sept 2015)
The Main Street Farmhouse has to be one of the cutest places to stay in downtown Napa. Tom & Judy have decorated this authentic farmhouse with antiques, yet still included modern touches like a thoroughly updated bathroom and super comfy bed. You’ll find local BBQ or coffee a short walk away, with plenty of other options within a few minutes drive. Tom & Judy are incredibly nice and were very helpful with information about local restaurants and (of course) wineries in the Napa Valley. The breakfast offerings, including pastries, yogurt and granola, is icing on the cake. I’d definitely consider staying here the next time I’m in Napa!

Riki (Sept 2015)

What a beautiful place! The entire castle and grounds were spotless. Even more spectacular in person, you will not be disappointed. About a 10 minute drive to downtown Napa, the castle was a perfect quiet getaway while enjoying the Napa vineyards.

Spencer (Feb 2016)
Absolutely terrific experience! Lupe was very flexible with us even though we arrived a few hours later than expected. When we arrived there was a bottle of wine, candy and a beautiful room waiting for us. The castle is minutes from downtown Napa and there are numerous groceries/restaurants only a few minutes away as well. We were also able to watch the hot air balloons from the balcony on our last morning, really a sight to behold. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Napa Valley wineries wine tasting - Do's & Dont's

Napa Valley Wineries Wine Tasting Tips – 5 Do’s and Don’ts

Napa Valley Wineries Wine Tasting Tips – 5 Do’s and Don’ts

UPDATED 2018 – So, you are planning a trip to Napa Valley wineries for wine tasting? Below are some tips and 5 do’s & dont’s when wine tasting at Napa Valley wineries:

  • Do plan your trip. Wineries and tasting rooms literally come in all shapes and sizes. There are some “destination” wineries that are more about the sights and experience than about the wine. Some have huge gift stores, deli counters, gondolas or restaurants. And then some are just about the wine. Sometimes the guy pouring the wine is the dude who made it. Before you and your date or your (small or large) group of friends decide to embark into a wine tasting adventure, make sure the tasting rooms you’re thinking about hitting match your desired experience. Some are a small room inside the winemaking facilities or in the family home, open only by appointment. Some charge for a tasting, some (usually in less touristy areas) don’t. Some will waive the tasting fee if you buy a bottle – some won’t. Some are retail spaces on a busy street, completely independent from the winery. Some are large buildings with event spaces. Some cater to frat boys and bachelorette parties – many don’t. Some are dog-friendly, and some are definitely not. Not sure about what a winery’s website or Yelp page are telling you? Call the winery. Especially if you are a large (8+) group – there’s a reason some wineries have a “No Limo or Bus” sign – many of those groups are associated with loud, obnoxious gaggles of assholes who are just there to get buzzed, and buy very little wine. However, some places do cater those groups. Just make sure you plan your trip right.
  • Do abstain from wearing perfume/cologne or lipstick. Perfume gets in the way of the tasting experience. Plus, as a general rule, if anyone can smell you within 3 feet, it probably means you’re wearing too much of it. Lipstick on the rim of a wine glass is bad enough at a restaurant – in a winery tasting room, it’s downright tacky.
  • Do not hold the bottle – to check the back label, for instance – unless you ask the staff first. Please never touch the mouth, cap, spout or cork of said bottle.
  • Do stay the fuck home if you have a cold. I can’t believe the amount of people who not only show up with a cold, but have the nerve to tell me about it, complaining how their senses of smell and taste are affected. Keep your germs to yourself.
  • Do tip if you feel like it. Tipping is not customary, but always appreciated. The only reason you don’t see tip jars in tasting rooms is because traditionally, family members would man the tasting rooms. That’s no longer the case in most places. While tasting room staff makes more than most restaurant staff (above minimum wage), tips are always appreciated, especially if you feel the employee was informative, friendly, courteous, and/or helped carry your wine purchase to your vehicle.
  • Don’t ask to share a glass. If you can’t afford a tasting fee for each of you, you probably can’t afford to buy wine. This ain’t a 10-inch crème brûlée I’m bringing you guys, with two spoons to share after a decadent dinner. Plus, most of you sharing a glass are blabbing away, not keeping up with what you’re tasting, and forcing me to make sure you have both tasted the wine before I pour you the next one. So stop tasting each other’s saliva. Get each your own glass.
  • Don’t be a know-it-all. Chances are you will lose at this game – either by being schooled, or by looking like a pretentious jackass. Don’t ask us tasting room staff overly technical questions like the bottling pH of a wine, or what commercial yeast was used. We might know the answer, but we’re not the winemakers. Then again, be careful – in some small wineries or at special events, the guy pouring the wine might have had a hand in making it, and could embarrass you if you try showing off. Just be reasonable with your questions. If you really want to know the numbers about a specific wine, chances are there’s a technical sheet in front of you with all the answers – or maybe it’s on the winery’s website. Just enjoy the wine. We can probably tell you the essentials – where the fruit comes from, how long it was in the barrels, etc., and help you out with your tasting experience. But don’t try impressing your date by asking us tricky or overly technical questions. Even professional winemakers don’t do that in tasting rooms – they’ll go ask the winemaker himself.
  • Do try being in sync with your friends and you’re in a group or a couple doing the same flight or number of wines. Sometimes one group member is constantly lagging behind, still sipping their first wine while the other ones are two tastings further. This makes our job a lot more difficult, because we now have to keep track of which wine is next for you, or how many more pours you have. I’m good at this, but I also have to keep up with the rest of the room, ring orders, and all sorts of other tasks. I want you to enjoy yourself, but keep up with your friends. You don’t have to finish that wine if you are not really enjoying it – just pour it out, so you can try the next.
  • Do follow the suggested tasting order. There’s a reason we order the wines that way – white to red, dry to sweet, light to full-bodied. We can explain to you why. But don’t argue about it. Don’t go back three wines up – your tasting experience will be ruined. Just trust us on that one. We truly want you to have an optimal tasting experience, because that’s how we sell wine.
  • Don’t ask us if our wines are sulfite-free. Over 99.9% of all wines on the market – from the low to the high end – contain sulfites. I often hear people tell me European wines don’t have sulfites, or not as much. That’s utter bullshit. This myth probably comes from the fact that there are no mandatory “This wine contains sulfites” warning labels on wine bottles in Europe. Trust me, if a winery makes sulfite-free wines, you’ll know it – they’ll advertise it everywhere. And come on – don’t tell us you’re allergic to sulfites when really you’re just a lightweight. The irony is that imaginary sulfite sufferers often will stick to white wines, convinced the content of that sulfur dioxide byproduct is lighter. But it’s the other way around. Whites generally contain more sulfites than reds, because as a rule, they require more SO2 during the winemaking. And sulfites occur naturally to begin with. In reality, only 1% of the population is sensitive to sulfites to some level. You’re most likely not that special snowflake, unless you have been tested positive for it (and you should if you suspect you are, instead of self-diagnosing). Sulfites are probably not what caused your headache the day after you emptied those bottles of Zinfandel with your pack of cougars. That migraine is just called a hangover.
  • Don’t ask for discounts you’re not entitled to. The inter-winery discount is real. But it only applies to employees of other wineries. If you’re a grower, a restaurateur or work for a distributor, we might not offer you a discount, because why would we? The inter-winery discount makes sense because it’s reciprocal – I go to another winery, and they give me a discount on my purchases (and usually waive tasting fees). But if you’re a grower, what kind of discount are you going to offer me? Are you really going to give me a 30% discount on your grapes if I decide to buy them? If you have a restaurant, are you going to give me the same deal on my tab? I don’t think so. So don’t be an asshole about it. Most of us only give discounts to winery employees, or in some cases employees of businesses we do business with.
  • Don’t haggle on prices. It’s gross. Oddly enough, in my experience it’s people who seem quite well off who are the most likely to do this. We might give you an additional discount if you buy a case or more, but this ain’t a Moroccan market. See those prices on the list? That’s it. You drove an Audi to the tasting room and you’re wearing a Ralph Lauren dress. You can splurge for that $35 Cab you claimed to really like. Want a discount? Join the wine club. You can afford it, right?
  • Do be respectful. Avoid saying “This wine is so much better than the previous one”. Maybe you meant to say “I like this wine much better than the previous one”, in which case what you should probably say is simply “I really like this wine”. Even my 8-year old understands this. Reason is, it’s possible that the guy who made the wine you didn’t like is right there – he might even be the guy who poured the wine in your glass. So show some respect – you wouldn’t trash a dish in front of the chef unless it was horrible, now would you? Plus, in my experience, the folks who tend to make that etiquette faux pas also don’t know much about wine. But really, it’s probably because their taste buds are not tuned up for certain wines. So unless you’re comparing say, two Cabs from different vineyards or from different vintages, it doesn’t make much sense.
  • Don’t rinse your glass with water between wines. It will corrupt the acidity level of the wine we pour next, and completely change its taste. If you want to cleanse your palate, we’ll be happy in some places to provide you with a cup or another glass with water. If the next wine is radically different, we’ll rinse it with a bit of the wine we’re about to pour first, or we’ll give you a brand new glass. So as a general rule, don’t pour water in your tasting glass. Just trust us on that one.
  • Don’t ask us for bigger pours. Most tasting rooms use spouts that pour given amounts – 1/2, 3/4, 1 or 2 ounces, for instance. Others have trained staff that will pour without those but still deliver the desired amount. Whichever the situation, don’t ask us for a larger quantity. And for Dionysus’ sake, do not help yourself to an extra pour directly from the bottle sitting in front of you, like some asshole did right in front of me recently, arguing that in a bar, if a bottle is sitting on the counter, it’s fair game. “This is not a bar”, I told him. (Guy brought up his Southern heritage like it was some sort of excuse. He redeemed himself later with a $10 tip.)
  • Do spit if you want to pace yourself. It’s not gross to spit your wine in the designated container. In fact, that’s how pros do it. If you’re a lightweight or are driving, learn to do it properly. You can smell and taste a wine without swallowing it. Most wineries have buckets or spitoons to spit in, or will provide you with a plastic or paper cup. If they don’t have a container at the ready, please don’t hesitate to ask for a bucket or a cup – we’ll know exactly what you’re asking for. Make sure you put the container all the way to your mouth when you spit – making sure people can’t see the liquid come out of your mouth. But etiquette-wise, spitting is perfectly acceptable – and in fact recommended if you’re going to be hitting a few wineries that day, or if you’re serious about your experience.
  • Don’t ever be afraid of asking newbie questions. Ever. If you’re at a winery where you found the staff frowned upon it, don’t go back there. In most places, the staff will be happy to educate you about the basics of winemaking or wine tasting. Don’t be embarrassed about your lack of experience. Many employees or wine professionals love the opportunity to explain their passion to neophytes – plus, today’s newb might just be tomorrow’s loyal club member. Just make sure you’re not hogging counter space and monopolizing the attention of the staff if it gets busy.
  • Don’t go wine tasting to get buzzed. If that’s your thing, go to a bar instead, or throw a wine party at your place. Do not treat the tasting room like it’s a bar. We really want people to have a nice experience (because again, that’s how we sell wine), but sometimes the tasting fee barely covers the wine we’re pouring, labor and overhead costs. So make room for the people who are behind you. Don’t linger for an hour sipping your flight while we have to cater to a busy room. If you want to socialize, many wineries have events for their club members, or special dinners, or social events. Just be considerate. And while we are not a bar, like a bar we have trained employees who will refuse to serve you if you’ve had enough.
  • Don’t ask us which ones are our best wines. Tell us what you usually like, and we’ll suggest the ones you should try. Don’t assume “estate wines” are the best wines. Don’t assume the more expensive wines are the better ones either. You can ask us what our flagship wines are, for instance, or what we’re known for. But if we’re pouring a wine, chances are – we think it’s good. And sometimes, it’s that deep-discounted Dry Riesling no one is buying that we like the most, but it’s also the one that’s the least popular among visitors. So just tell us what you are into, and we’ll figure out which flight or which wines you should try.
  • Don’t bring your kids. They don’t care about wine, and no winery I know has kid-friendly facilities. Don’t feel entitled to finding a kid playground, or an area with crayons and coloring books – this ain’t Chucky Cheese’s. Leave them with grandma or a babysitter.
  • Do bring your dogs if the winery is dog-friendly, but as I mentioned before, plan your trip.
  • Do have a designated driver – unless you spit (see above). Driving drunk is fucking stupid and easily deadly. Don’t underestimate how drunk you can get on tasting wine. 5 one-ounce pours – a typical flight – is a full glass of wine. For an average person, 15 minutes later you will be legally drunk. If you’re planning on hitting several wineries and taste more wine, learn to spit, or have a buddy drive you around. Buy them dinner and/or a bottle of wine as a thank-you at the end of the day.

Best time to visit Napa Valley & Why?

BEST TIME TO VISIT NAPA VALLEY AND WHY?

Best time to visit Napa Valley and why?

UPDATED 2018 – Summer, Spring or Winter, what is the best time to visit Napa Valley for wine lovers or 1st time visitors to Napa Valley? Read on as we explain based on following three factors, if spring (March/April) OR can fall (September/October) be the best time to visit Napa Valley?
1. Weather
2. Pricing
3. Crowds

Weather –
Summer can be too hot, Winter can be too cold.  Wanna know why Spring especially the months of March & April are the best time to visit Napa Valley? Well, rains are just starting to clear out and the mustards are in full bloom.  One other big plus is that the crowds haven’t arrived yet either therefore Napa Valley hotel rates are not sky high yet.  Be sure to bring your cameras b/c you will be taking plenty of great photos of Napa Valley Mustard. Here is a more detailed article on FAQ: Napa Valley Weather – WHAT TO WEAR & WHEN?

Pricing –
Again during Summer and holidays the hotel rates in Napa Valley can sky rocket.  Sometimes the rates in Napa Valley are even more expensive then hotel rates in San Francisco this is if you are lucky to get a reservation especially during the weekends.  Holidays are another time of the year when rates spike.  During the rainy season (Dec, Jan, Feb) the hotel rates are lower but there are rains.  March/April is that sweet spot when you can get really good deals on hotel rates because the tourists haven’t really started to flock in yet.  Napa Valley Wineries, hotels, spas, tour companies etc are also more likely to offer discounts during this time of year, many of the discounts for Napa Valley can be found at following sites:

Crowds –
Summers and holidays in Napa Valley can be incredibly busy, tons of tourists flocking every winery they can get into.  Hotels get booked, tour companies get full, hot air balloon rides get sold out etc.  Therefore again Spring (March/April) is the best time to visit Napa Valley because the crowds/tourists haven’t really started to come in yet.  You will not see…. READ MORE ON QUORA

Can Fall also be the best time to visit Napa Valley?
Yes, if you are really into wine and want to learn everything about it and see wineries fully working then early fall months (September & October) is absolutely the best time to visit Napa Valley.  We say this because wine harvesting happens around this time of the year in Napa Valley.  You can see workers picking grapes, trucks carrying them into wineries, crushers crushing the grapes.  During fall months the entire valley smells like wine. You can even book Grape Stomping at some wineries so you can personally experience what does it feel like to stomp grapes with your own feet.  Yes, the prices will be high during during fall, but the summer crowds are gone by now and the weather tends not to be as HOT as summer months.

Ravenswood Winery – 268 total reviews on Yelp
Jessica C. 10/29/2015
Updating my review. Since my last note, we got engaged at Ravenswood and the staff was totally in on the surprise last year. They were so genuinely enthusiastic…I swear they are like extended family and are definitely long distance friends. I love the ravens!  So puppy friendly on the patio. We brought our 5 month ridgeback here in late September. She had ..READ MORE

Charles K. 10/24/2015
This review is long overdue. My girlfriend and I had never gone wine tasting together before but after trying some Ravenswood at a dinner party a few months back, we decided that we needed to visit the winery to see what else they had offered.   It was a beautiful Sunday: clear blue skies, not a single wisp of white clouds in the sky. Unfortunately, we had just missed the daily winery tour but still quite worth the trip!  The cheese plate was the perfect complement to the zinns we tried. We started off with the.. READ MORE

Vivian H. 10/19/2015
Great winery, with none of that uppity ambiance of other nearby places. I love that it’s more mellow and casual.   The staff were very friendly and generous. We got to try 4-5 tastings, and a couple extra tastings of their off-menu reserve wines. Loved their .. READ MORE

Beautiful winery just a few short blocks walking distance from downtown Sonoma square. This winery is super dog friendly. The interior tasting room is spacious and comfortable — you can taste standing up by the counter or stead at one of their big tables. There is also outdoor seating by their beautiful grounds and fountain. Definitely a great place to lounge and enjoy the gorgeous.. READ MORE

Roche Winery — 122 total reviews on yelp
Patricia Patti P W. 11/22/2015
I have lived in California for almost 36 years now and have come to Napa and Sonoma since I was 19 years old and a sailor.  I now come with my husband on a semi-annual basis as we are looking to relocate here especially in the Santa Rosa/Sonoma area in the next five years. I haven’t been to Sonoma in a while (3 years) so my husband decided that we should take a hectic country ride to Sonoma on a Wednesday afternoon. They were blessed with 80 degree weather after a storm on Monday night (the first week of November), so we decided to walk around town.  I have never seen so many white wealthy.. READ MORE

Virginia T. 9/21/2015
This place is more like a cozy little wine room than a full winery, so there weren’t any fancy grounds to stroll through, but the wine tasting was such a great deal!  My friends and I did the Family Tasting option for $10. We got to try 6 wines, 3 sweet wines and 3 barrel tastings. That’s TWELVE tastings for only $10!! Our hosts didn’t elaborate too much on the wines themselves; not a whole lot of talk on what to expect from your glass or the history of grapes you’re about to consume, but.. READ MORE

Lisette C. 9/21/2015
Sadly our experience at Roche was not as good as everyone else’s.  The good Yelp reviews lead us here but we felt a little bamboozled.  Harry, our host did not seem to be in a good mood and the Wine Club pitch was HARD from the moment we walked in the tasting room.  I think he mentioned the wine club before every pour, so 6 times!  He recited the wine descriptions in a monotone voice, until he got to the ..
