If you love a bold cab, I highly recommend heading to Grgich Hills for their Library tasting. Our friends recommended setting up a tasting with Linda Whitted in their tasting room. She shared some of their history and helped us taste some of the different...More

Good experience

A lot of variety but not nearly as much attention is paid to all as is to their cabs, which are divine. Staff helpful and knowledgeable.

The Master of Wine

I love, love, love this vineyard! If you go in the fall, you can taste the various grapes grown just for the customers to sample. If you are lucky you will meet Mike Grgich himself at the winery!

Thank dstillwell

Hello, Thank you! Mike Grgich comes in frequently and the lucky guests visiting that day can get bottles signed. We appreciate your review and we will share it with the team. Cheers, Madison

Movie on the lawn - YES Please!

We attended the Movie on the Lawn member event (as guests) for the showing of the 100 Foot Journey. The pizza was excellent, the location and setting awesome and the Old Vine Cabernet was the best I've ever tasted. Thank you for a memorable evening!

Thank Debbie D

Hi Debbie, Thank you for attending the movie night! We plan to host it again in the future after such a wonderful response. Cheers, Madison

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!
