Not my first visit to Grgich Hills and won't be my last

Great tasting room Toni did a wonderful job. I am a big fan for many years of Mike Grgich and his exceptional wines. I always stop here when in Napa. No appointment needed stop in and bring a picnic lunch to have in the garden.

Not fancy but great wine!

You probably know the Grgich name from the movie "Bottle Shock," where a California chardonnay bested its French competition in a blind testing years ago. Croatian native Miljenko sure knows his wines! Day one in Napa Valley found us traveling Highway 29, scouting out gems...More

We had a group of eight and did a private / reserved grape stomping and tasting. A little bit of a cliche-feeling experience, but I believe this is the only place where you can stomp grapes, and most of the group wanted to do it...More

Two of my girlfriends and I are traveling to Napa the weekend of September 15 for an extended girls' weekend and to celebrate our 35th birthdays. Grgich Hills Estate is the first stop on our list after we get picked up by our driver at 10AM on September 16. If we arrive that Saturday morning by 10:30AM, how much time do you suggest we allow if we intend to take part in the grape stomping?

We stayed there a little over an hour. Tasting the wines and learning of Mike Grgich history in Bottle Shock ( beating all French wines in blind taste test 20+ years ago !) Hope you enjoy!

Do you have lunch available?

Answer

Sorry but we are not allowed to sell food as part of our permit. We do offer wine and cheese pairings as part of an educational seminar. Call us at the winery @707-963-2784 for more details.
