- Dylan HLos Angeles, California1,618 contributionsLovely Vineyard - Truly Exceptional!So full disclosure, we really weren't the biggest fans of Napa. Most of the wineries we went to were either too overpriced, snobby, corporate or all of the above. Hendry, was one of the few exceptions. After sharing our experience with another couple we met in the area, they told us we had to come here and it absolutely did not disappoint. We absolutely adored our tasting here. One of the few family owned wineries in the area, it showed in both their warmth as hosts and in the quality of their wines. We loved everything about this place (and their wine). In addition, the scenery is truly stunning! I cannot recommend this vineyard enough. A true gem in Napa Valley!Visited June 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten May 9, 2024
- Jessica K4 contributions10/10 Recommend!I’d give this place 10 stars if I could. Wow. By far the best place we went on our weekend trip to the area. Crazy great service. Outrageously excellent wine. The story is so cool and I’d come back here anytime!! Book a tasting slot here and I promise you will have an exceptional experience!!!Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 1, 2024
- DodgeRogSouthampton, United Kingdom128 contributionsAuthentic, tranquil setting and delicious wine 🍷We managed to arrange a tasting here at short notice on our final day in Napa - and we are so glad we did. Everything about this place is authentic, interesting and unique - and the wine is simply delicious. We were hosted by Therese, who was a funny and informative host, who explained the history of the owner, George and the winery - which we found really fascinating. The setting is so tranquil and we loved each and every wine we tasted, leaving with full boxes, all for a very sensible price. If you want something different than the large, commercial, napa experience - Hendry should be the first choice on your list. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 27, 2024

This by far is one of the best if not the best wine tasting you will do. It’s a small winery with a great story. Not the corporate giants. We were the only couple at the winery. Tamara was our host and spent 90 minutes going over the history of the vineyard and the wines and grapes. The tasting was $75, but 1) it was for 8 wines and 2) can be applied to a wine purchase. The wines were all delicious. If you had to choose just one winery to visit in Napa, this should be it. IF you can get a reservation.

The Hendry winery is just what we hoped to find in Napa. Small, family-owned, unpretentious, beautiful location, friendly knowledgeable staff, and great wines at value pricing. The Hendry family began farming these lands over 80 years ago and started making their own wines over 30 years ago when they found that their grapes were going into some of Napa's most esteemed vintages. The winemaking includes "best of" methods and equipment. Their recent "Reserve" bottlings of Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon are extraordinary without the "vanity pricing" of many Napa wineries. My guess is that one reason these top-quality wines are so affordable is that they aren't paying a mortgage on the land that they own outright. I've joined the Friends of Hendry wine club that lets me adjust the selections to my preference and provides free shipping on the case. Plus the invitation to their member appreciation events and other tasting benefits. Really look forward to returning. Hendry gets my highest recommendation!

We loved our visit to Hendry! It’s a beautiful setting surrounded by vineyards. We were the only couple booked for a tasting while we were there so we were given undivided attention. We learned a lot of the history of the winery and about wines in general. Would highly recommend this winery if you’re looking for a smaller, high quality, family run spot!

What started as a most enjoyable day, ended with a "high pressured" sale of wine based on an upcharge of our tasting experience. Surprisingly charged us 150% of CONFIRMED price and forced to buy additional bottles to make up the difference (although we had email evidence of the lower price offer). In any case, the wine was good, the tasting session informative, and the weather was perfect for our first visit to this winery.

Loved the fact that we had our own wine tasting on the porch. Blankets and heater was available too. One of the few place that is family own d grows their own grapes and bottles it. It’s not a corporate sell out. Loved the personal touch and attention. The wine is wonderful. The tasting fee was forgiven if you purchase equal or higher amounts of wine. This was our favorite stop while in Napa!!

I contacted the winery and spoke with Amber (60 days before our visit) to coordinate our larger group's celebration for a neighbor turning 50. Our group is traveling from Texas and I am meticulous with all plans to coordinate a great experience. We were told the largest size they take is 6 but they would try to accommodate 8. I booked it and planned accordingly. I called a week in advance of our trip, and I was told our reservation was not on their books and we would not be seated. The winery had all of my information and had simply placed us in the holding queue without actually reserving our time/date.
We have reservations across the wine country for this trip and this is the only winery that has completely failed us. I spoke with Linda who could not care less. She said another group had reserved and we were out of luck.
This is particularly disappointing given all of the calls and coordination. Thankfully, there is plenty of competition and opportunities to patronize others.

Must visit boutique winery in Napa. The barrel fermented Chardonnay and the Cabernet Sauvignon are very good and not ridiculously expensive. The views from the top of the hill show off the huge beautiful view. They also have some older vines that make the estate wines taste amazing.

We had a great time is our host, T! We had a nice relaxed tasting and a private table on a beautiful sunny day. We learned a lot about the history of the winery and she explained in great detail about all the wines we were offered and sampled. We had a wonderful time and signed up for their six bottle wine club. We also took three bottles with us to go. Highly recommended if you are in the area. Please support this family business!

We had an excellent guide who told us about the history of the place as well as the background on all the tastes wines. Some of the wines were delicious (all the reds, I am not a fan of Chardonnay but others in our party enjoyed those as well) and we ended up buying several. Highly recommended both for the wine and for the experience itself.

We made a reservation to tour the Hendry Ranch Winery based solely on the glowing reviews here at TripAdvisor. I must say this was the first time we were steered wrong. The tour and tasting was conducted by George. Although he is obviously an expert in the field, his presentation was slow, uninspired and downright boring. We did little touring of the facility and spent most of the time standing in the sun or beside barrels. Wine tasting is usually a festive and social event, but here it is like a lecture in chemistry class. Furthermore, in an email confirmation sent to me, this winery stated that the "tasting and tour fee is $20 per person" and that the fee is waived with an equivalent purchase. After the tasting, the fee suddenly doubled to $80 in equivalent purchases for the two of us. I told them about the email, but they were firm about coming up with $80 so we bought more wine than we wanted. We toured and tasted at wineries all over Napa, Sonoma and Anderson Valley. Hendry Ranch was the worst. Try any of the others before this one.

When you made a reservation in hendry ranch wines, did you give your credit card number by phone?
We send an email to make the reservation and they told me this. Is it a normal situation?
Thank you

Yes, this is to hold your reservation per their cancellation policy but you only pay when you get there.
