My review will mimick the first reviewer's almost exactly. :) Jackie was so much fun!! You can tell she enjoys what she does and is very knowledgable. The tour and information was fantastic, just like the wine. It was intimate and informative and we can't wait to get our wine delivered!

We enjoyed learning from the wonderful and welcoming Jackie Middleton, up on Mt Veeder. She and owner Karen provided a friendly insiders tour, punctuated by some barrel tasting and blending of cabs. Thank you, all. It was awesome. Highly recommend this stop in Napa and we can wait for our wine to arrive!

It's off the beaten path and the guide spent an hour explaining the history and leading is through the tastings. This is a great place to learn about "how to get into the business". They have a super story that is followed by great wine.

This is a beautiful winery! Stacey was excellent! We learned so much about how different types of soil effect the taste of the wine. Fontanella has some wonderful wine. Can't wait for ours to arrive!

We were greeted by the owner of the winery, and she was delightful. She made us feel welcome and shared the story of this wonderful family winery. The wines were excellent. This was the only winery where we decided to have some shipped home!

I also bought the tasting kit, think it will be fun to design my own wine and have a case of my... More

After traveling through Napa and to almost the end of the road you find this new winery that still is working on growing their own grapes. Fear not, they still have Mt Veeder fruit and it is worth the experience. The highlight of the tour for me was the opportunity to not only do a barrel tasting but to compare... More

We were able to visit with the owner of Fontanella (arranged by Perata Luxury Car Services - highly recommend). It was so interesting to hear the story of how they got started. This is a relatively new winemaker, and they are getting ready to plant their own vineyard. Very exciting to see. The wines were great - we joined the... More

We found this winery through FLEX TOURS. The wine was amazing. The education was amazing. We will definitely be back again. Until then.

Had a private appointment to sample wines and learn more about the Fontanella winery story. Our host, Stacey, was very knowledgable and professional. We had a great time and expect to enjoy the great wines we ordered.
