- Harold MWalkersville, Maryland1 contributionBaldacci Vineyards tour and tastingsAbsolutely the best time in Napa. Phoebe, our guide, was wonderful. From the moment we arrived till we left hours later, we had a great time. The tour and history of the wine caves and tasting wine directly from the barrel was unique among the other wine tastings we did over the long weekend. Baldacci wines are wonderful and we cannot wait to get the wines we shipped home so we can relive the visit again and again.Thank you for sharing your experience! We're happy to hear you loved the tour and the wines.

- Casey B2 contributionsBest cabs in the valley!Our favorite wine! A must wine tasting in Napa. Best cabs you will find in the valley. So consistent and always amazing. If you’re looking for silky, smooth, big bold cabs, this is your stop! Thank you Baldacci for always doing such a great job.Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We're so happy to hear that you love our Cabernet as much as we do.

- MattSpokane, Washington240 contributionsBeautiful Afternoon SpentMy wife and really enjoyed our time at Baldacci! We did the cave tour with the chocolate & wine pairing tasting. Firstly our wine host, Andreas, was very fun, upbeat and lively. We enjoyed his explanation of the barrel process and why they have wine in the cave. When we did our tasting, the truffle paring with their wines was a really fun experience. Their wine room has a relaxed modern homey living room feel, and it's fun seeing their family photos displayed throughout the room. The views from the patio are absolutely stunning and on a clear day you can see the mountain range. Since this wine room is on the other side of the less busy freeway, it is very quiet which is peaceful. All in all, a wonderful experience and would definitely go back again.Thank you for taking the time to share a detailed review! We truly appreciate it and we look forward to your next visit!Written May 9, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 1, 2024

- Karen B2 contributionsBeautiful property, wonderful wines.This was our second visit to Baldacci. Our first visit was in 2018 when their wine caves were under construction, thus we couldn’t see the caves. However, we still had a great/fun introduction to the Baldacci portfolio of wines. Quinn Kraft was an excellent host. We very much enjoyed our visit and their wines. We are lovers of red wines from Pinots to Cab-Sav’s and all the blends in between. We liked everything we tasted. Seemed to make sense to join Baldacci’s club. We’ve been receiving and enjoying our club shipments ever since. We don’t live in the area making frequent visits difficult. It was wonderful to visit again this week. Phoebe treated us to a tour of the caves and we enjoyed tasting Baldacci’s current wine. Delicious! We do favor the slightly smaller, family run wineries. Baldacci truly has that family feel and their love of the art of wine making is evident in their winery environment. Highly recommend a visit to Baldacci. Put them on your list, make a reservation and be prepared to enjoy the entire experience.Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time during both of your visits to Baldacci. It's fantastic that you were finally able to see our wine caves and that Phoebe made your tour and tasting experience memorable. Thank you for recommending us to others. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon, and in the meantime, we hope you continue to enjoy our wines!Written July 8, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 10, 2024
- Nikol RCollegeville, Pennsylvania135 contributionsWonderful Boutique Winery ExperienceAfter doing some research, my husband and I added this small winery to our Mother’s Day visit to Napa. John was a wonderful and knowledgeable host. The wine was excellent along with the small accompaniments. I would highly recommend this small boutique winery for your next Napa visit.Thank you so much for choosing to spend part of your Mother’s Day with us! Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're glad to hear that you had such a positive experience.

I recently hosted a team building event in Napa and Baldacci was one of three places we stopped. Kellie (General Manager) guided our 13 person group through a very intimate and thorough tour of the expansive grounds, cave and indoor tasting of wines/charcuterie. This was our last stop and as Kellie put it, we were a lively, yet tolerable bunch, lol. Nevertheless, she did manage to keep us engaged enough so that we could really enjoy the wines. We started with sparking and transitioned to tasting a Chardonnay. They age in oak barrels so I the Chard drank really well. It was bright with a smooth, buttery texture and hints of vanilla and fruit, it worked well for me on a 90 degree summer day in Napa.
The Pinot was next; it was light linger on the front; it was easy to drink because it wasn't highly acidic but others in my group didn't care for it as much.
To cap off the tasting, we tasted two Cabs, one from Stag's Leap and the other from Calistoga. Both were really good but the only distinction I could see was acidity balance and tannins but everyone will taste something different based on their palate.
Needless to say, I enjoyed the experience and wine so much that I joined their club. I would highly recommend it if you looking to get off the mainstream beat and path of Hwy 29 and are looking for a more intimate experience.

Even during a pandemic, we still had such a blast at this winery! I was recommended by The Inn On First, who said they offer fabulous red wines, and we they were right! So glad we came! The wines delivered a crisp, elevated flavor that we all really enjoyed. Nico was our host and we all loved him! He was informative, friendly and did a great job giving us the history of the vineyard and Baldacci family. We will definitely revisit once construction is complete and nags are back to (“new”) normal. So glad we stopped here!

This is one of my favorite wine makers in the region. Our host Andres did a great job introducing us to their portfolio red wines. All the cabs where 100% single vineyards and they were all great. Andres explained the history behind Baldacci as we explore their vines and the brand new tasting building which will be amazing when completely decorated. We became club members and we expect to enjoy more wines soon. Thanks for the experience Baldacci Family.

The property is beautiful and the hostess very knowledgeable. Our tasting was excellent. Tasting from the barrel was a perfect way to show the wine while aging...it illustrated how wonderful the finished product is after bottling. The value of this tasting is outstanding...not only is the wine tremendous but with the purchase of wine, the cost of the tasting was credited toward the wine.

The vineyard is located in the Stag's Leap district. It is a beautiful place to visit. The estate has a chic, modern appearance. I did the wine tasting with the chocolate and cave tour. The cave tour was very interesting and informative. I thought our guide did a good job explaining the history of the vineyard and the processes of how they produce their wine. The wine was great; I got to try their '21 Carneros Chardonnay, '21 Carneros Elizabeth Pinot Noir, and '21 Fraternity Red Wine Blend. Their red wines are definitely their stronger points. If you are looking for a place to try white wines, I would recommend going elsewhere. Their red wines tasted elegant, and silky. The wines I tried had a great fruity, spiced and tobacco taste. The chocolate pairings are excellent; all locally made in Napa. My guide for the day was Andres; he was very friendly and helpful. This is a great tour for those who are more new to wine tasting. The staff explained what you should taste with the wine and chocolate/how to taste it. I left the tour with two nice bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon after being able to sample it and having Andres walk me through what type of flavor profile I would enjoy in the wines I was interested in. They will comp the price of the wine tour if you purchase a certain amount of wine.
I recommend visiting this winery. Red wines are great and the staff is very friendly. Vineyard is beautiful.

I did a virtual tasting recently with Kelly Duckhorn at Baldacci. Very interesting and fun! Pairing their delicious Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon with salty, sour, sweet, umami and fat flavors to experience how the right food enhances the characteristics of wine. Baldacci is finishing up major construction of wine tasting room and caves, will be a wonderful place to visit and wine taste.

Literally everything about our time at Baldacci Family Vinyards was Excellent. Quinn was absolutely fantastic. He was accommodating, knowledgeable, personable and just a great person to spend time with. A rare personality trait found in people these days is someone who will just "actively listen" when spoken to. Quinn was really good at listening to a question or comment and then providing an appropriate response. Seems small and minute, but that type of personal service is what separates the good experience from the Elite Experience. And Baldacci is indeed striving to be Elite. From the new tasting facility, to the expansive wine cave, to their commitment to making fabulous wine...this place is on a path to Greatness. And last but certainly not least, the wines we tasted during our 3 hour experience were absolutely stunning. Every wine just got better and better. Truly one of the best Cab portfolios top to bottom. And the "top" is Brenda's Vinyard...for me was a no words wine...it sat me back in my chair and demanded my attention so that I could savor every second. A special Cab for sure.
Long story longer, Baldacci is a must visit and my wife and I are thrilled to be a part of the Baldacci Family Vinyards.
Best,
CR

We weren’t able to taste due to the poor air quality but they offered us 50% off each bottle for cancelling our reservation and so that we could taste at our leisure. Haven’t opened yet but they were highly recommended by a friend so we are looking forward to opening our first bottle. Great impression of the winery and hospitality overall!!

My husband and I had a late day Portfolio Tasting… our host Andre was so informative and guided us through the variety of wines from various districts. The wines are delicious, the interior is so comfortable and the family vineyard feel is so present and invites you in. The views are beautiful and the outdoor areas look just as inviting as the interior.
Definitely add Baldacci Family Vineyard to your list of “must visit”. Their cave tasting was highly recommended to us by other hosts at other vineyards we visited during our trip to Napa Valley, we will save that for our next visit.

The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It was a lovely patio tasting of some excellent wines.
We tasted one white and three reds. I was hoping to try the Gewurtzraminer but that wasn’t possible when we went. But that was ok because I ordered some to be shipped home. Ordering wines to be shipped was easy and efficient. I would definitely go back here again!!
