Wine Touring In Napa, California: Top 3 Must Visit Locations

Introduction

Honestly, there’s no scarcity of grape-centric splendors in the beautiful town of Napa Valley. Nonetheless, that’s where the problem lies.

Where do you begin?

Well, in my opinion, trying to choose the best winery in Napa Valley is almost like selecting between a 2006-vintage and 2004-vintage? And, I’m not up for it, honestly.

Hence, in this article, I’ve chosen to talk about three spots that I’ve visited personally. And, I loved each of them, really. So, let me offer a tour for you.

The Holy Trinity Of Napa Valley!

In this section, I’ll mention three wineries and offer some additional information about them. Hopefully, that’ll help you out in making a list.

However, if you’ve already visited these places before, don’t forget to let me know all about your experience in the comment section below. I’ll be more than happy to hear it.

 

Option – 1: Melier

When it comes to offering a subtle private wine-tasting experience, there’s nothing better than Melier out there. And, you can choose what type of wine-tasting you want to go through.

Yes, the whole thing is customizable!

However, I’ll ask you to step against the home-based wine-tasting feature.

Instead, try to go to a commonplace, sit amidst the soul-touching environment, and enjoy an amazing evening with your friends. Melier will take care of everything else.

 

Why Do I Love Melier?

• It offers a personalized wine-tasting experience – anytime, anywhere.
• The organization provides their offering for almost every occasion, including – your or someone else’s wedding, dinner party, social club event, etc.
• A brilliant virtual wine-tasting experience is available too, specialized just for you.

 

Option – 2: Domaine Carneros

In case you’re after a stunning view more than having a beautiful wine-tasting experience, Domaine Carneros should be your poison.

Established in the year of 1989, the jaw-dropping backdrop and the glamorous structure of the place makes it a boon for a nightly wine-tasting venture.

And, if you look outside of your window, you’ll find a 400-acre vineyard looking back at you intently. It’s a breathtaking experience in my opinion.

 

Why Do I Love Domaine Carneros?

• Although not customized, the whole wine-tasting experience is pretty stunning.
• The organization follows sustainable and environment-friendly practices.
• Domaine Carneros’ champagne is amongst the bests in the business.

 

Option – 3: Raymond Vineyards

This isn’t – I’m repeating again – this isn’t a typical Napa winery you may find while strolling the streets. But, then again, that’s the selling point, isn’t it?

If you’re done with the whole “sipping wine in a vineyard-faced window,” it’s time for you to check what Raymond has to offer.

At the beginning, you’ll be greeted by a peaceful white-rose garden, which will lead you to the “Theater of Nature.” The winery-tasting section seems amazing as well – it’s posh, pretty, and very eye-catching to look at.

Additionally, the tasting price is pretty affordable here as well. It starts from USD 35 and, the more expensive drinks you ask, the higher it’ll go.

 

Why Do I Love Raymond Vineyards?

• It offers a unique and alluring winemaker’s experience, both with the taste of wine as well as the overall ambiance.
• The organization produces wine through biodynamic farming, which improves the taste and experience of the tasting even more.
• The blends are of quite high-quality and come in a lot of categories as a whole.

 

What’s My Verdict?

So, that’s all for this article.

But, before I conclude this one, let’s talk a little. When I went to the “wine country,” the first option I opted for was Raymond Vineyards.

Well, it seemed like an offbeat experience at the very first look and I liked the potential. I like nature a little more than wine-tasting, so that’s my opinion really.

In any case, the second option was Melier, and I opted for their customized offering.

Needless to say, I wasn’t disappointed at all. The taste of the wine seemed much better with this one. And, the way they presented the whole scenario, it felt very very personal from my own viewpoint. On the other hand…

Domaine Carneros was another hit as well. But, in my personal opinion, I’d go for the former two options rather than the latter. It was amazing, but I’ll keep it below the pecking order, as its experience wasn’t really parallel to the others.
