Lovely time, but one disappointment

4.00We originally were scheduled to be on another car, it broke down so we went on a different one. Our guide was personable and the first 2 vineyards were good. Our 3rd on was, however, very disappointing. It was a tasting room in a strip mall. The label had no vineyard, no winemaker of their own, and it showed. I felt we would have been much better off with the vineyards on our original agenda. Otherwise, we had a good time. Just get rid of Jean Edward’s tasting.

3.00Was a great tour. But we had to wait for four ppl for 30 minutes and that made it impossible to explore the castle after our wine tasting. Also the driver we had who was very nice and knowledgeable didn’t like wearing the headset so we got no information as we were travelling through Napa and that was supposed to happen. But the wineries we went to were great Just wish we could have explored the castle and the lunch was very good.

3.00This is a very expensive way to sample some wine. Paying an additional $50 per person per tasting at each vineyard means that you’re paying close to $300.
