A pleasant surprise

We went to Grgich knowing that they made excellent Chardonay. What the surprise was that they make a very tasty Fume Blanc and outstanding Zin's and Cabernet's.

Great wines and friendly service!

Great wines and friendly service. The Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay were well made but had lots of Sulphur. 2015 Merlot had nice structure and good upfront fruit. 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon was excellent. Free tasting for military.

GuzzieGurl

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!

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.
