This was our first tasting in the valley and a great place to start because of the friendly staff that helped us find our feet with wine tasting etiquette in the valley. Wines were good and you can keep the logo glasses afterwards if you want. More

Very impersonal - just seemed keen to collect the cash forthe tasting! More

We went here as part of the wine train package. It was mind blowing how much earth science goes into wine making. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything's process. You could truly tell he knew what he was talking about and not just reading off a card. Very friendly place with a cool history to it. More

We visited Grgich Hills on the Napa Valley Wine Train lunch trip. It was my favorite tour and I visited over 20 wineries in three days. If you have seen the movie "Bottleshock" (and if you have not seen it, do so), this winemaker was actually the winner of the famous blind tasting between California wines and French wines in... More

The wines selected by Dominic, our expert guide, were all wonderful, and the pairings with each different chocolate and fruit (cranberry, apricot, raisin, etc) were "spot... More

He spent a lot of time discussing harvesting techniques, yields, and the crush process. He pulled out a couple extra wines to taste, that weren't... More

The wine tasting experience is fairly basic however you do get a good selection of wines to try. I found one tasting session between two was adequate (especially if you have a car to consider). The staff seemed to be more interested in the taste of the wine rather than anything else and I didn't feel like I learnt anything... More

The wine here is quite good but most of all I liked our host who gave us our tasting tour. He was very enthusiastic and his passion for wine-drinking will rub off on you. You can take home your wine glass for free, but I suggest you take some bottles home with you as well. More
