Reviews for Hess Persson Estates in Napa, CA
Beautiful property, and fabulous art collection. Steve our host was very knowledgeable and genuinely created a wonderful... experience. Really enjoyed the visit! Read more
First - wines will not disappoint and the grounds are amazing. This was our first time in Napa and our preference is to taste,... listen, learn and spend some time alone enjoying the wine. Our tasting did not include this. Our host was with us the entiretime. He was knowledgeable and personable - this isn’t about him. It’s just about “how” things were done. Ifyou want good wine at a great (a bit off the path) location do it. Just know that if your preference is to enjoy time on yourown - that didn’t happen. Read more
ZERO stars!!! We drove for miles and it turned out they were fully booked today 8/6/22, even when there were only 4 cars in the... parking lot. We asked if we could at least look around but were turned away by a very RUDE old lady for having my SERVICE dog.She insisted the reason why she wouldn’t allow us in is because they were fully booked when in fact she specifically said theydo not allow even service dogs in the property. I tried to give her my service dog registration ID and a card with service doglaw info so that next time (if ever) we visit again she would know she cannot do that but she just gave me a dirty look insistedthat the reason why she turned us away is because they were fully booked when in fact when we asked if we can just at least havea look around she said we can’t because we have a dog and it did not matter that it was a service dog. Then she just threw herhands up in the air and left. I told her I could sue them (but I won’t because that is not the kind of person I am…Iforgive) but she said she didn’t care. If she only took time to look at my card and admit that she was wrong, we would maybeconsider going back but she just continued to be extremely rude and self righteous..maybe even racist because she obviouslyjudged us by our looks. Before we even get to the reception area, she ran towards us and then she YELLED at us “Can I help youwith something?!!” while looking at us from head to toe. We were dressed very casual (jeans and t shirt) as we always do whenwe go out with our teens. We can tell because of her lack of respect and the condescending tone of her voice! I just hope theowner reads my review and fire that extremely RUDE WHITE lady. There are 400+ wineries in Napa and couple hundreds more inSonoma, Lodi, Suisun all around the the Bay Area that has so much more to offer which are dog friendly but most importantlyPEOPLE friendly. Definitely SKIP this one!!! I have been living here in San Francisco for 36 years with a big fa Read more
We went here for my 50th birthday and it was a perfect day. We took the ATV tour with Edgar and he was an amazing host and wine... educator. We stopped at several places around the Vineyard and it was beautiful and peaceful. Sitting at a picnic bench,drinking a delicious rose, and looking down on the fields, I don’t think I had been that relaxed in years. The next stop was acheese plate paired with amazing wines in their gorgeous art gallery. Edgar was funny and charming. Last, we went down to themain tasting area and tried a few more vintages. We ended up buying a case to ship home. I definitely recommend! Read more
Well as most people would come here for their awesome wine, we came for their great art! The concept of combining wine tasting... and art galleries is just brilliant. They have so many important art pieces and the space itself it’s breathtaking. It’sbetter to have reservations. Read more
For a first class wine experience in the Mt Veeder hills of Napa, Hess is the place. A Very classy presentation with optional... incredible food pairings. They also have most wine varietals, including an Albariño. Read more
Superb service during this wine tasting. Really appreciate the amount of distance maintained by the staff as well as how the... tables are set up to distance guests. I’m sure we will return as this winery has a lot going on. Between the tastings justinside their doors of their tank storage area, art gallery, and make your own wine experience it is really a cool place. Read more
Hands down the most beautiful winery we visited. From the personalized wine and cheese experience, to the eclectic art, to the... fantastic scenery, it surpassed a five star rating. Our host Cindy was knowledgeable, personable, and a joy to spend time with. There is no doubt we will visit here again next time we are in the area. Read more
