- BeeGee26Erial, New Jersey9 contributionsCalming, relaxing visitMy daughter and I visited Duckhorn Vineyards for my 60th birthday. We were seated outside in a quaint, beautiful setting. Chris, who tended to us, poured all our wines for the tasting and informed us about each wine and the history of Duckhorn. We didn’t feel rushed. We didn’t feel pressured, we felt like we could take as much time as we wanted to enjoy each wine. We had the pleasure of talking to Chris, who not only educated us about the wines, but also gave us some great tips for sites restaurants and things around Napa Valley. We thoroughly enjoyed Duckhorn Vineyards and Chris who made our visit feel special.Visited August 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten August 6, 2023
- clkerr1118Charlotte, North Carolina57 contributionsA Wine Discussion at DuckhornBeautiful grounds! Picture perfect. Christie was our server and had so much knowledge! She explained every tasting in detail. I wish we could take her on every wine trip! Six (7) tastings! Started with sparkling, one Pinot, two Merlot, and two Cabernet. Then to our surprise she brought out Discussion Blend! Can’t recommend this winery enough!!!!Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten October 25, 2023
- Lilly M13 contributionsA Highlight of Wine CountryA trip to Nappa Valley is incomplete without a visit to Duckhorn Vineyards. If you are a red wine drinker, the best (in my opinion) were "The Discussion," A Nappa Valley Red, the "Carneros," a Nappa Valley Merlot, and "Three Palms" a Nappa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines were incredibly smooth and flavorful, and the setup and experience of the location was stunning. My husband and I got to walk through the vineyards and sample grapes from different types of wine, such as cabernet versus merlot grapes. Our host explained each bottle of wine very well and was very knowledgeable and generous. Overall, it was an incredible experience, and we went and picked up a bottle of "Decoy" cabernet once we reached home (as we had no bag space and it is a sister company). I would absolutely recommend visiting Duckhorn Vineyards and enjoying the incredible experience they offer. We look forward to returning to Duckhorn and the many sister properties after such a wonderful time. Lillian MareddyVisited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten October 29, 2023

We went to Napa to celebrate our 55 years old. Duckhorn Wineyards has been one of the best experiences. Delicious wine but more over the great service and super hostess Karina! Thank you so much.

Lovely venue. We sat outside and enjoyed our tasting. Breadsticks to accompany.
Wines were fantastic. Lovely vines. You have a pen and list of wines to take notes. Each wine is introduced.

We have been a fan of Duckhorn Vineyards and their portfolio of wines for years, but we have never visited until this year. We arrived for our tasting and were escorted to our table outside of the beautiful home to Duckhorn Vineyards.
Chris was our wine specialist for the tasting. He was wonderful. He spent time telling us about each wine. He even offered us a few wines not on the tasting menu to try. Here is where we made our mistake...we scheduled our next tasting too close to this one. Chris was prepared to offer us some additional wines and we had to cut it short. We will not make this mistake again!
The grounds and home of Duckhorn Vineyards are beautiful. Next time we are in Napa Valley we will schedule another tasting and leave plenty of time to enjoy the great setting and conversation. Thank you!

Saved our best for last. After 3 days of tastings, what a way to end our trip before heading
home. Carlos may be new, but he has the knowledge and his helpfulness is only outshone by his happiness. Duckhorn now has a new wine club member for life!

We didn’t do the tasting simply because we are very familiar with excellent Duckhorn wines. Maybe next time we will do out to try their exclusives. We frequently buy Duckhorn Decoy reds as they are not too expensive but excellent nonetheless. However, they pride themselves with their exclusive and expensive Cabernets and this is what we would like to taste.
The Duckhorn estate is huge and they own several other wineries in the region (Paraduxx I’d one of them).
We loved their beautifully landscaped premises, the sitting area and the interior. Very happy we stopped by.

Wines were great, especially the sparkling rose & the Discussion Cab but the highlight was Reggie. What an incredible young man

Has anyone tried one of their more elite tastings? Worth it???

No we didn't try one of their elite or reserve tastings. What kind of wines do you like? If it's Zinfandels I would also highly recommend Rombauer. It's right up the road from there. Bring a box lunch and sit out under the trees and look out over the valley. Duckhorn does have some very good and expensive cabs too. Sit on the beautiful porch. You won't be sorry.

Hi, how long does the wine tasting last? Is it about an hour? We are limited on time so we would love to know how long it takes as it looks wonderful! Thank so much!
