Read all the positive reviews of Round Pond Winery and Olive Oil tasting and put it as number one winery to visit in Napa/Sonoma California area. My first experience at a California Winery was disappointing. The receptionist acted like we were a bother and was very unwelcoming. We did not have a reservation which is apparently required in the "laid... More

We have been coming to the Napa Valley for almost 30 years. Just this week we brought family visiting from the Midwest to tour wineries. But, we wanted something different and found this gem of a attraction in Rutherford, Ca. Round Pond has a winery (which we did not make as we had time for only the Olive Oil tasting)... More

Signed up for a tour & tasting on the recommendation of a friend, it was very interesting despite being a non-harvest time of year. The tour doesn't go far, just out to a small olive tree thicket outside and then a look at the equipment in the garage which is right next door to the tasting room. As with any... More

We visited the patio on Friday evening and enjoyed some light bites, a bottle of wine and a wonderful view. This is a reservation only event.

Wow! This was a great experience. Learn how olive oil is made than sample some. Then you get to try it on food. Really fun and educational! For an extra $10 you can have a flight of 3 wines with your experience. This is a must do.

After visiting winery after winery it was a very nice change of pace to participate in an olive oil tasting! The tour was very informative even though we didn't get to see the olive press in action as it was the wrong time of year. We tasted quite a few oils, vinegars and syrups than got to put them to...

I never knew you could go olive oil tasting. What a pleasant surprise! My husband booked a tour as a part of our anniversary get away and I'm so glad he did. Upon entering, the intoxicating aroma of fresh olive oil takes over. Then we were greeted by a woman named Julie who was very sweet and personable. As soon... More

Generally, you must reserve in advance to visit this winery but they were accommodating for us as well. Great wine and spectacular space. Worth a look.

We went to their spring blanc party April 2013 and per usual they put on a stellar event with stellar food - there was great ceviche, good cheese, marvelous shrimp, fantastic lamb skewers, the best mini sliders, and so much more... and the wine - marvelous..... and the friendly staff fantastic. And the marvelous views from their gorgeous tasting room... More

We went to the Olive Oil tasting (our 3rd time), not the winery. The price is good value, you get a knowledgeable tour guide, a private tour (about 10 people max.) of the grounds and how they make regular and flavored oils. Do not eat before doing a tour! And unless you have a bottomless pitted stomach, you won't need... More
