Enjoyed our midweek visit to Hall! Not crowded like the weekend, so it made it very relaxing. Our host, Ray, is a talented professional who knows his stuff. A great host and asset to the Hall organization! Wonderful tastings here with terrific Cabs. New additions of Walt Pinot Noirs are also great. This is a very nice tasting venue if you are in the Napa Valley. These wines are not inexpensive, but worth every penny if you love wine.

Definitely do the tour! It's a really good value, a lot of other wineries will charge a lot more for that kind of tasting & tour. JJ was awesome, provided great information about HALL, Napa and Craig & Kathryn. Great history here, love the art influence, and some true Napa style cabs. Lots of discussion around how the wines are produced, including a video, and then the tasting was concluded in a private room which was really nice. Thoroughly enjoyed all the wines, and felt we were given a good representation of their entire portfolio. At the conclusion, JJ gave us some great recommendations as well. Would definitely return!

When I visit Napa Valley, I typically gravitate towards small family wineries in the less known AVAs. This time I stayed at an Inn located within walking distance of Hall Wines, so I decided to give them a try. And I’m glad I did. I can’t recall a wine tasting where every wine placed in front of me was a resounding hit. Hall knocked it out of the park! I made reservations for The Art of Cabernet tasting, which included: Ellie’s (2016), Eighteen-Seventy Three (2016), Jack’s (2016), Bergfield (2016). Beyond that, I also tasted Diamond Mountain and Howell Mountain, and Walt Bosella Pinot Noir (2018). Hall has vineyards in many of the Napa AVAs. Their tasting experiences provide a chance to taste the differences, and you will. You can compare a mountain AVA blend vs Hall estate. You can taste the different between Howell and Diamond Mountain AVAs. It is quite fascinating. A must-do for Cabernet lovers. I don’t think Hall normally has Walt wines available but as I and my wine drinking friends also enjoy Pinot Noir, I made an inquiry. Our wine educator said they had only the Walt Bosella available, and that it is their most highly rated Pinot Noir. Indeed. It is one of the best Pinot Noir wines I’ve had. The outdoor wine tasting area is huge and comfortable. There is plenty of room for social distancing. If you enjoy contemporary art, you’ll want to take a look at the outdoor collection. You can also see some pieces by peering through the glass into the winery and also during the check-in process.
