“Friendly staff and good wine”

Reviewed May 28, 2013

Goosecross was the first stop on our first Napa trip. The staff was extremely friendly and fun to be around. We were able to sit outside and they brought our tastings to us. The wine was very good. It was a great start to the day.

“A lovely boutique winery!”

My husband and I really enjoyed our visit to Goosecross. It's a casual setting and the staff were very nice and pleasant. We enjoyed all of their wines, but loved their reds. They had some great cabs!!

“Make Goosecross your #1 wine stop”

Reviewed February 12, 2013

We were in Napa for a culinary class but a friend noticed my FB postings and suggested we visit Goosecross. We had the most wonderful experience. The wines we tasted with Jose were incredible. But beyond the great tasting wines the warmth and friendliness that emanates from the entire staff will make your visit here a memorable highlight. This is... More

“A terrific wine experience!”

Reviewed January 21, 2013

We were on the Platypus Tour and they stopped at Goosecross. So glad they did! We learned so much from Jose in a great conversational way. He was extremely helpful, funny, and knowledgeable. We could have stayed all day! White wines were very good and their Cabs were exceptional! If you only have time for two or three wine tastings,... More

“A definite must.”

Reviewed January 17, 2013

Stumbled onto this place through a recommendation. Note: when it is busy season, they do require an appointment for tasting. They received us with open arms – the wine is very adventurous but the real star of goosecross are the employees. Ask for Jose, he knows his stuff.

“Why go white? Because its the best!”

Reviewed January 7, 2013

We stopped in at Goosecross Cellars and had their white flight of wine. It was the best white wines we had tasted all day. From dry to fruity and back again. And the customer service was great even though the tasting room was completely full.

I think we have established a niche in Napa Valley with our white wines. We currently produce seven different whites Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Viognier, Chardonnay, Riesling, Chenin Blanc, Orange Muscat. It sounds like you enjoyed tasting them all! Thanks so much for the wonderful Trip Advisor review - white wines rock! More

“Great small winery with an awesome staff & great wine!”

Reviewed January 2, 2013

My wife and I were excited to try some smaller/family owned wineries and came across Goosecross Cellars. We had a wonderful experience with the staff who was super friendly and knowledgeable. The wine was just to our liking, very smooth & lighter in taste. We also bought their olive oil and cooked with it last night, it was great! Very... More

“Fun and tasty”

Reviewed November 20, 2012 via mobile

We just left Goosecross cellars and I would say their wines are delicious and the tasting room was also fun, which so far a few days into the Napa experience has been unique for us. Most of their wines lean towards the fruity side - although not all of them so you will find that most will enjoy. It is... More

“Great small winery”

Reviewed November 11, 2012

What a wonderful time we had here! Jose was in rare form that afternoon and my band of merry girls were up to the challenge! He made us laugh, served us some great wine and was very helpful in finding individual preferences. We went to Goosecross on a Segway tour and it just added to our perfect afternoon. Thanks jose...

What would we do without Jose and Kim to entertain (and harrass) our visitors? ;-) We're happy they took good care of your band of merry girls, and may there many more excursions to Goosecross. Thanks for the fantastic Trip Advisor review! More
