Markham Vineyards - St Helena, California

Holly H.

Was hoping to write a review as our visit to Markham Wineries was top notch. We were driving through the area on a local tour of the region. Despite being a Wednesday morning, no winery in the area offered walk ins. We happened upon Markham and thought the name was familiar. Our experience was just perfect. Scotty told us his history of growing up in the region and how he indirectly fell in love with the intricacies of the local wines. He was so patient and intrigued with any question we threw at him. It was authentic and what I had hoped for but didn’t think would happen. Did I mention that the Merlot mix and the aged Merlot were both amazing. I feel so much well versed in the wine industry and can’t wait to come back. Thank you Scotty, Miles, and the welcome crew( didn’t get his name) for an amazing experience. I will be sure to spread the word. Holly and Peter Hunt of Boston

My wife and I had an amazing experience here with Scotty. He was beyond hospitable, teaching us not only about wine but also about the entire valley going back decades. The wine itself was quite enjoyable and we ended up buying a few to bring home (just to get us started as we will be purchasing more in the future). The property itself is not immense like many of the wineries we experienced in the region, but the gardens with tables are quaint with perfect shade and the inside of the tasting room is truly stunning. We have already recommended this experience to numerous friends and family, and would return in the future.

Had a wonderful tasting experience! We were first greeted by Isaias with some refreshing rose. Then he seated us outside in the courtyard. Jason our host was very informative about all of the wines and history of the property and each vineyard. I hadn’t visited since the remodel and it is stunning! Highly recommend visiting. I cannot wait to go back to experience a different tasting experience! Bought some magnums today enjoy over the holidays!

Scott was super nice and so welcoming. This was our first wine tasting experience and he made it a positive one at that. He is so well informed and always encouraged questions. I used the code WINEWITHPAIGE to get a discount on the wine tasting and we basically had the whole place to ourselves. It was absolutely a dream. Thank You Markham Vineyards. We will be recommending you to everyone we meet!

I went here using my little book big experience booklet.
This winery is a very pretty as well as modern layout with very friendly staff. They welcomed us with a glass of rose when we got there as well as provided some cheeses to pair with our wines! I would consider going back here and creating a membership. Jeff was our host and was amazing if you go ask for him!

Something to keep in mind that could be a deterrent for some people is their is a unisex bathroom which I find can be helpful for people to know in advance! 🙂

Beautiful building and interiors. We felt welcomed in the beginning, specially with the sauvignon blanc poured for us even before we were seated. We were excited to learn about the winery's history, the vineyards, and their wine-making process, but didn't get any of that. Awesome to know from the brochure that women are a huge part of leadership at the winery.

I understand that we were a few minutes (8 minutes?) late and that might have not given Scotty enough time to host us. I saw a group of women that looked like a private bachelorette event that he was hosting on our way out, which I understand took priority. I just wish we had more time to learn about their wines and wine-making in general, since it was my guests' first trip to Napa. They did enjoy themselves still, which is the reason for the 3 stars, but this experience, compared to the other Napa wineries I've been to in the past couple of years, is my least favorite.

Very nicely designed winery tasting room. We had a great sommelier Scotty that explained ask the winter and the history of the place and the valley. Very pleasant experience here.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Markham Winery! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. Scotty, who assisted us throughout our visit, was exceptional. His extensive knowledge of the wines and the vineyard really made the experience stand out. He shared insightful details about the history of the winery, the winemaking process, and helped us find the perfect wines to suit our tastes. Scotty's passion for the winery was evident and made our visit even more special. The vineyard itself is stunning, with a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy some fantastic wine. Highly recommend Markham Winery for anyone looking for a memorable wine-tasting experience. Thank you, Scotty, for making our visit unforgettable!
