Haley was our wine concierge and was extremely knowledgeable about the wines. She was the only person to offer us the opportunity to split a tasting as I only like red wine and my wife prefers white. We both thoroughly enjoyed the wines and it was a very pleasant experience

When in Napa, I highly recommend the Rutherford Ranch Winery. What a wonderful experience we had in tasting the wine, learning about the total wine production and a big shout out to Haylee. She was super knowledgeable and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back.

For our wine tasting, we were seated at a comfortable table for 8. We sampled 4 wines paired with chocolates. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. It felt like we were enjoying a cozy dinner at hoe with friends, rather than being rushed through a barrel room tasting on our way to the register. The property features several outdoor seating areas as well. Our favorite tasting!

I honestly love the wine here, the only down side is it takes us forever to get here on a Saturday in the summer. We didn't arrive until 4:15, we had 3:00 PM Chocolate and Wine Pairing, but we were too late, so we made the best of it and went to the tasting bar for a few minutes, then we bought a bottle of wine and sat outside and had a glass. It was a nice way to end the day of hours and hours of traffic. The wine is excellent and the atmosphere is great. Beautiful place!

This is not a review of the winery, this is a review of business practices. We enjoyed our wine tasting and then signed up for the wine club. We took some wines home with us at a 20% discount because we joined. I have subsequently received 3 separate emails from Rutherford Ranch offering first, a 25% discount on all wines, three days later I received an email offering a 30% discount. I did not bother to pay attention to this until I received my wine club notice that my shipment was about to be charged and sent to us in the next month. I called the winery to discuss which wines they were sending and the cost per bottle. The very next day I received another email offering 25% discount on all wines. This is a larger discount than given to wine club members. I was sent this because they do not have my email address on file as a wine club member, they have my husbands. This is totally a scam! Needless to say I called and cancelled the wine club.

This winery offers not only wine tasting, but chocolate pairings, picnic areas and great views walking around their grounds. More than just tasting wines. The wines are good quality and the staff is knowledgeable and well trained. You will enjoy their wines and much more. If you have one or two days and doing a few wineries each day, this is a must for your itinerary.

Riding bikes with my girlfriend along the Silverado Trail and the sign that said “Chocolates and wine” caught our attention so we pulled in. Did a tasting with Fernando who was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the history and attributes of the various subsections of Napa valley and was not pushy about Rutherford County wine. The setting is beautiful, the wine was awesome and to top it off,Fernando offered to deliver the bottles we bought to our hotel since we were on bicycles. Sure enough, when we returned to our our hotel room around 5:00, out bottles were awaiting us. If you like chocolate and wine this place is a must

Had a wonderful time visiting with Rutherford Ranch. I say visiting because thats how Pat made us feel, as if we were visiting friends. The wine was refreshing in that they all seem to leave that cool fresh taste. We enjoyed their reds especially. (Pat....its all about the barn)😊

We became members of the wine club on one of our last trips to Napa. Fell in love with the staff, the tasting room and of course the amazing wine pairings. When choosing a place to do a meet and greet the evening before our wedding - Rutherford Ranch immediately came to mind. We hosted 50 people in the olive groves with different Reserve wines as well as chocolate and cheese pairings. Everything was made perfect with the help of Julia and Brian from Rutherford Ranch Winery! Our guest fell in love with with entire experience - Julia and Brian made everyone feel like VIPs. Thank you

I really loved this place. I LOVED the Chardonnay (I think) and lemon white chocolate pairing. All the other pairings were great too. Comped both our tastings since we're active duty military. Just awesome. Super comfortable sitting area, which is a nice change from having to belly up to a tasting bar.
