Domaine Carneros, Napa

Domaine Carneros was one of my highlights to visit when I went to Napa. Styled after a French chateau, I was quickly taken back to the Loire Valley I visited years ago. Be prepared to wait but tables turn quick! Patio is the best, but get a table! Small plates were fantastic, beautiful view, but definitely one the pricier winery experiences in town. Don't come here if you want to save a buck. Well worth the money you pay for the experience! If sparkling wines are your bag, choose DC!

Very nice. You do need reservations. Their specialty is sparkling wine. The exterior is quite spectacular. Our server was excellent, a local who was able to give us some great information about what to see and do in the area.

Great atmosphere. My wife and I did a tasting inside, since it was approximately 100 degrees outside. Josiah was our wine expert. He was great. He took the time to explain to the sparkling fermentation process as well. Quite interesting. We bought a few bottles of sparkling wine from here. Overall 9.3/10

Great wines. Reservations are recommended. Weekends can be busy. We love the sit down service. Tours are fun.

Decided to book a tour here at the recommendation from someone over at Poseidon. The tour was $40 which included quite a bit of information about the history of the company and the sparkling wine making process in general. Our tour guide was Al and he was great. He gave a wealth of information and was very friendly and funny. All of the wines were good but nothing I would really buy. After the tour I asked Al if they had any sweeter wines and he opened a bottle of the Vermeil Demi Sec. Boy am I glad he did. That one was much more to my liking. The experience was great and the grounds are stunning.
