We had a very pleasant time at the Elizabeth Spencer tasting room. The gentleman who helped us was very knowledgeable about their wines and was friendly and able to carry on a conversation on a variety of topics. The wines were good and we purchased a few bottles. There is a $20 tasting fee which is refunded if you buy... More

Another couple recommended Elizabeth Spencer Wines to us. The building (old post office) is great. Our server,Hector, was one of the most personable wine ethusiasts we have ever experienced. Many have criticized the size of the tasting room, however, we found it very quaint and delightful. The wines were the best we have tasted in the Napa Valley. We enjoy... More

My wife and I had multiple suggestions to visit this small winery. Ready for something new, we stopped here and were glad we did. The building is very small which happens to be the original post office of the town. They had a great outdoor space where we had our tasting. Most important about this place is how great their...

I have been to Elizabeth Spencer only a handful of times (I live on the East Coast), but make a point of stopping by whenever in Napa/Sonoma area. Every experience has been the Napa alternative...and that's a good thing. A couple points I'd make: - It's a tiny historic old building (the Rutherford Post Office) converted into a tasting room....

We've spent one week up here in Napa Valley in summer 2010. It's our third time here in Napa...and the first (and for sure last) at Spencer Wines. We've came across lots of wine in our life yet (American, Spanish, Italian, French, Australian, New Zealand, Chilean, Argentinian and more...) and this wine here was one of the worst we had.... More

The wines are well made and well chosen, for the most part (only one in the tasting that we did not drink). The ambiance is pleasant but because we can only go to a few wineries in any one day, we prefer ones with great scenic views. More

Do not miss this winery! It's tucked away in Rutherford and can easily be missed (we visited only because of a recommendation) -- but they have by far the best wines that we tasted in Napa and Sonoma Valleys. Every wine that we had was wonderful, so good that we are likely going to join their wine club to keep... More

Elizabeth Spencer Wines is a true find and off the beaten path of Napa. Located just off Highway 29. This is (I believe) Napa's smallest tasting room. The staff is very friendly and went out of their way to show our group a fantastic time. We tasted many of the current releases which hail from all over northern California including... More
