We enjoyed comeing here. The staff was very nice. You got a free tasting of some good wine. We kept the glasses (says frank family vineyards on them) I don't know if you were supposed to but we did. Staff knows their wine. Over all I think you have to come here! more

I really enjoy going to Frank Family. I live in Calistoga and whenever i have friends or family from outside the area in town, I'm always sure to take them here. They've got great sparkling and still wines, they're super friendly and have a beautiful new tasting room. I sorta miss the old shack they were in, was a bit... more

Nice visit

Honestly, I wish I could say the winery was friendly. To be fair, it may have been just one terrible host. My husband and I went there a couple of years ago and were treated absolutely horribly. We were basically ignored and left after 15 minutes. The host was super nice to everybody else but treated us and another couple... more

We had a great wine tasting experience at Frank Family - staff was informative, humorous, and friendly. We got sent to 2 tasting bars actually - the first bar is to taste their sparklings (3 of them) and the second bar is to taste their one Chardonnay and then 4 - 5 different reds. All their wines were very good,... more

We visited in Summer 2007 - Yes the tasting room does not look its best - that because a new one is being built - we found the staff to be very friendly and entertaining - when one customer asked about all of the construction outside the pourer deadpanned that they were building a trailer park outside - the customer... more

Several people recommended the Frank Family Vineyard to my friend and I when we visited a view weeks ago and we thought it was a great stop on our tour of Napa Valley. While the tasting rooms aren't much to see we found the wine educators on hand so informative. I feel like we learned more here than any of... more

I agree with previous negative postings of Frank Family Vineyards. The wine is so-so, the tasting room could be a portable office building, and the staff is very rude. They are very proud of their existing customers, which is a good thing because they will not get any future business from my friends or family. Don't bother to stop. more
