Grgich Hills Estate - Rutherford, California

I love that they accept walk-ins and how delicious the wine is. Very lovely patio to have a glass or two and a charcuterie cheese board. The Chardonnay is very light and no acidic undertones. The Cabernet has a Bordeaux taste and souped exceptional. Very friendly service too. Highly recommend.

What a fabulous experience! This vineyard was by far my favorite of all the ones I visited. Myles was excellent—his knowledge and enthusiasm made the visit truly memorable. I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend the day.

The wines were top-tier, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a standout vineyard experience.

Beautiful grounds, well manicured landscape. It’s a gorgeous place to walk around. Wine was just ok.

Great experience. I prefer more muted old world style wines and this winery delivers on that note. The woman performing our tasting experience was excellent and very knowledgeable about various wines and styles as well as showing us a topographic map of the region and explaining the different terroirs of the wine region. We actually arrived about 2hrs before our reservation but they were generously able to accommodate us instead of turning us away which was very nice. They also credit your tasting if you buy wine from them and you can't lose on that when you taste several bottles and get to pick what you really like. We didn't have space but they also offer bites to eat which is also nice and the property is very beautiful and clean.

After several tasting experiences in Napa, Grgich was by far the best. The atmosphere and quality of wine shines through. We were very impressed with Mel who was knowledgeable with the history, winemaking process, and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping here when you're in the Napa area!

What a great experience! Not only was the staff accommodating, but also knowledgeable. James was our tasting room host and kept us entertained through the whole tasting proces, while also respecting our time trying each wine.
The old vine cab and the late harvest wine were hands down the best wine.
Would highly recommend making reservations to visit this winery.

We thoroughly enjoyed our retrospective decade tasting with Ryan G. He shared his in-depth knowledge of the history of the winery and the wine, and their legacy. He made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Flowers were still blooming in the garden area, too, even though we visited in late October. This tasting was the highlight of our trip to the region (except the balloon ride was awesome, too!). We were happy to order selections we tasted and a few more. Thank you, Ryan!

A Napa classic -- Grgich is one of the iconic wineries of the valley, and getting to explore their history and style through the wines is excellent. Their wines are more European in style than most of their neighbors, so it's a perfect counterpoint to the "how much oak and alcohol can we jam in the bottle" style of modern winemaking, instead showcasing balance and food friendliness. Absolutely worth a stop if you're into food and wine pairing, as you'll be sure to find something fun to pair with your next special meal.
