Gruff host, ok wine, freezing cold tasting room, annoying music

Our host was grouchy and gruff, the music was 80’s rock, the wine was just ok and overpriced. It was a cold and rainy day and they had the doors flung open so we were freezing. The tasting room was bland. Sorry.. it wasn’t worth...More

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.

Great stop on the wine train

We had a great time enjoying the tour guide and the vineyards. It was informative and fun to walk and taste several blends. Great gift shop and don’t forget to bring your cameras for nice sunset pictures.

Exceptional wine & customer service!

We are wine club members for a reason - exceptional whites and reds. Ask for Toni in the Tasting Room. She gave us a personalized guided tasting tour! Her knowledge of the winery & Mike Grgich’s history enhanced the tasting experience.

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.

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.
