Reviews for Darioush in Napa, CA
It's not about the ambience, its not about the service, it's really not even about the wine. For me, it's the story that... gravitates a person toward appreciating what went into creating and later perfecting a masterpiece. This winery is a pinnacle ofone such story. From thier most popular signature Shiraz, to the Zinfandel, everything was tasteful in every drop and teasedthe buds for another sipper. The wine here is delicious! What made it an experience was everything that went along withit! Driving though the wonderfully landscaped entrance, takes you back to Iran and shares a glimpse of what the Shah's andKing's from the past may have experienced entering an ancient Persian palace. The eternal fire at the entrance symbolizing,truth, purity and justice is a reflection of a forgotten Zoroastrian era that predates most present religions. Walking in feelslike walking through the royal ancient allys of Persepolis and instantly connects you with something much bigger that just thevineyard or the wine! It connects you to the region of Shiraz, during the time of the Shah, (Reza Pahlavi) where the ownerchartered the idea of sharing a part of his family tradition, culture and experience with the world. The staff is extremelyempathetic, knowledgeable and share a genuine interest in the story of the vineyard, wine making, and catered thier conversationbased on our interest and experiences. They were extremely warm, mindful and had a great personality! If you are in theNapa/Sonoma area, or are planning an unforgettable trip, (which you may after those wine tastings anyways) and want to witnessan experience that's more than the delicious wine poured, I highly recommend giving this vineyard a shot.

I live in Northern California, after seeing the Persian BBC program about this farm, I came to this farm 5 years ago and I have... witnessed the beauty and splendor of the architecture of this building. It was the quality wines of that farm that made animpression, I was born in Shiraz and Shiraz or Siras wine is not just a wine with a magical taste for me, but it has theidentity and authenticity of a product. I suggest everyone to go to this farm once and have a different experience. Read more
I fall in love with this winery . Besides the good reviews, what caught my attention was the beautiful architecture of this... place . This beautiful place transports you to Europe. Everything is done in detail, the decoration of the main hall left mespeechless. The staff is extremely professional and attentive. Something that I loved was the courtesy of bringing us a 5th wineto try, my favorite was undoubtedly the cavernet savignon, who is if I am not mistaken the house specialty. Read more
This place is gorgeous and the wine was excellent. Much love to Marcus, the director of hospitality, for personally taking such... great care of us. Can't give this place enough stars! Read more
An underrated gem in Napa! A beautiful Persian inspired winery. The tasting includes 3 wines plus some small hors-d’oeuvres... inspired by Iranian cuisine. You filled out a survey in advance noting any allergies in your group. They did an amazing jobduring our visit accommodating dairy allergies. The food was delicious and our host Ellis was friendly and helpful. My favoritepart was the pistachios flown in from Iran that we snacked on the whole time. They were addicting! A beautiful winery youdon’t want to miss. Be sure to book your reservation in advance. Read more
Absolutely wonderful experience! The wine, the winery, the food parings. Perfection! Our host, Josh, was absolutely fantastic!... Thank you for making it so special! Read more
Very nice wine tasting experience. The property is ornate and beautiful. The wine was accompanied by pistachios imported from... Iran and in-house marinated olives. The wines were very good, so we ended up picking up two bottles Duel, which is onlyavailable at the winery, and as a result, they waived one tasting fee. Read more
I can't say I expected this style but this is the experience I expected from Napa wine tastings. The building and grounds are... impressive and beautiful. I'm not really a wine drinker but the winos, j/k, I'm traveling with seemed to enjoy the wine heremore than the other places we visited as well. Josh, our server, was friendly and knowledgeable. If I ever come back to thisarea I would gladly visit here again. Read more
