Round Pond's olive mill tour and tasting was the perfect way to take a break from the wineries and see what else Napa has to offer. Our host, Julie, made me feel so welcomed and gave us insight on everything from how the olives are picked to processed to how to correctly taste test the olive oil. The tasting was... More

This was a wonderfully informative and tasty tour. They walk you through the history of the vineyard/olive grove and through the processes used to create the oils and other products offered. From there its into a cozy modern tasting room where they teach the official way of taste testing olive oil. Then its cheese, farm fresh vegis, fruits and bread... More

Appointment only - Round Pond was rather difficult to book via phone but we finally connected and scheduled a tasting/food pairing. The tasting was very relaxed and we enjoyed the views from the upstairs/outside tasting area. The 3 wines sampled were 'ok' - the highlight of Round Pond is the outdoor living room, we enjoyed an amazing sunny day! More

We really enjoyed our afternoon at Round Pond. The scenery was beautiful. The mustard seeds were in bloom between the vines & the fire pit was going as the sun sank in the afternoon sky. So romantic! I can only imagine how green & lush it must look later in the year! We particularly loved the casual vibe of the... More

I was reading a Wine Spectator and saw a review for this winery's cab with a very high score. Round Pond only recently began producing its own wines (2002 I think). Previously the grapes were sold to other wineries. The have a lovely building that houses the production facility and tasting room. The tasting room is upstairs and has a... More

A more expensive tasting set up, but well worth it. A gorgeous patio that is set up for you when you walk in. You taste three wines, and then you are brought food pairings for each. The beef stew is just incredible and made the 09 Cab trickle down my throat like velvet. Definitely a place to visit or to... More

The Olive Oil tasting was set near rows & rows of olive trees, & in a building with olive press & manuf equipment. Our extended family group really enjoyed this experience, the delicious fresh breads/fruit/veggie spread that came with several types of oive oils (citrus, wine vinegar, ...) We also bought many products from its gift shop: oils, hot sauce,... More

Fancy, and expensive tasting fees. Feel like you are paying more for the winery than tasting the wines. More
