Our Favorite Vineyards

Here is a list of our favorite vineyards that if you have time you must check out!!

Round Pond- This is a vineyard and olive oil farm. The cost of the tasting at the vineyard is $25 and you will sample 3 wines with a small food pairing from the chef. The porch at Round Pond is to die for and on pretty days you can sit out on it by the fire over looking the vineyard. The olive oil tasting is $25 and you will get a tour of how they make the olive oil from beginning to end. At the end of the tour you will get to have a sit down "lunch" with a taste of the olive oils with bread, cheese, and fresh veggies from the garden. This is a meal in itself so come hungry! Our suggestion is that you do both of these, you will not be disappointed. MUST MAKE A RESERVATION http://www.roundpond.com/



Domaine Carneros-This is a bubbles and wine vineyard. If you are coming into Napa from the Golden Gate Bridge way plan on stopping into this beautiful spot before you head into Napa. You can just stop in without an appointment and taste their bubbles and sit on their porch. Highly recommend to get your fun started on the way into the Valley! http://www.domainecarneros.com/


O'Brein Estate- Family owned vineyard with a great Napa Cabernet!! Get a bottle and sit out on their picnic tables or go into their barrel room and do a tasting! MUST MAKE RESERVATION http://www.obrienestate.com/


Barnetts Vineyard- Want to taste some of the best wines in the valley and get the best views? This is a little bit of a drive to get to but 100% worth it. Splurge and get a bottle of Rattle Snake. You will thank us later. MUST MAKE A RESERVATION http://www.barnettvineyards.com/


Silver Oak- Who dosent love Silver Oak? Stop by the tasting room to taste some of the best reds in the country for a price that you wont hurt your wallet. If you mention you are a NASCAR fan they may even pour more for you than before! http://www.silveroak.com/


Mumms- Bubble vineyard that is great for a glass of champ while you are tasting wine all day! You dont need a reservation and this is one of the few places you can just top in and buy a glass of champ and sit at a table.  http://www.mummnapa.com/
