Domaine Carneros, Napa

Wonderful winery in Napa. Had a wonderful experience trying a variety of their wines and cheese board. Experienced and super friendly staff and definitely some tasty wines. The Leblanc Leblanc was a one of my favorites from the list. This is one winery you should put on your list. Beautiful landscape and views from around the entire property. I would love to return to try more.

This place is gorgeous. As soon as you drive into the road, you are wowed with the beautiful look of a mansion overseeing a vineyard. The sparkling sample and Chateau samples were amazing. My boyfriend and I also ordered the sparkling wine cheese platter ($20) and it tasted great, but 2 people really can’t finish that with the tasting sizes. The samples are 2oz samples of extremely good wine (you know it when there’s no headache) and to become a club member you don’t pay yearly, you just buy 2-8 bottles of wine at a time. The wine bottles vary between $32-200 each. The samples were delicious and come with explanations of what they are and what they’re made of. We didn’t realize that there were different packages, but typically you expect a tour and we didn’t get that package. We paid $35 per person for the regular tasting and they sat us at a table overlooking the vineyard and our server brought us our wine samples and cheese. I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t take a tour or learn about how to make wine, but it was still a beautiful experience. The place is perfect for pictures and for a group of people. The customer service is superb. I highly recommend coming here!

Cool place, much less formal than the others in the area and a great view. It was a bit hectic inside but wines were good at reasonable prices. We shipped a case home as a group and all were pleased!

Gorgeous grounds, definitely the most beautiful winery we visited. They have outdoor seating on the terrace with amazing views, which was a huge plus. Great sparking wines. We got the sparkling wine cheese platter which was excellent. It's not a very personalized wine tasting as the server has several tables to deal with. We didn't mind as we had other wine tours lined up, but something to keep in mind.

It's on a pretty piece of land, and the pinots are pretty good, but that's pretty much it. We had a reservation for 3:15 and ordered some wine and cheese tastings. An hour or so later around 4:30 they asked us to finish up as a next group would need to be seated. An hour is not a very long time, and it was quite awkward to be asked to leave when we would have stayed, ordered more wine, etc.
