My 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.

Beautiful 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!!!!

A 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 Mareddy
