Menu for Quintessa in St Helena, CA

I?ve had great experiences before at Quintessa, but my latest trip was not one of them. We were given no actual information on... the wine, we asked to walk up the side steps (they have a lake behind the main building) and were told no because we didn?t buythat ?experience?. The last time we were here we were shown the grounds, the underground cellars, and explained so much aboutthe family and their process. None of that happened this time but perhaps the $100 per person tasting plus the purchase of threebottles didn?t entitle us to this? Lastly, we had a 3:45 reservation, were seated at 4 and at about 5:10 (while still enjoyingthe wine) we were told the music was shutting off because they close at 5 (ok well then maybe don?t offer a 3:45 seating andseat us at 4). Just overall a not particularly hospitable tasting and a low point on our trip to napa. Great wine, but lackingin hospitality. Read more

Fantastic experience. We were welcomed very warmly and treated like family. Paul took fantastic care of us. The wine was... incredible as well. Definitely book a tasting! Read more

Very disappointed with our tour and tasting at Quintessa. This is a winery I had been wanting to visit for years and finally... was able to during my most recent visit to Napa. It was an utter disappointment to say the least and we will not go back. For$150 tasting fee per person for a tour and tasting which included literally a 5 minute golf cart ride around a small portion ofthe property with a minute or two to get out at one spot and take a few pictures, with no other tours of the property or wineryis essentially highway robbery. Would not recommend this winery at all!!! Read more

Overall experience was good. We got the tour of full estate. Lisa, our guide was very knowledgeable and was very nice. She took... us around the vineyard and even took our photos at various spots. Also gave us the tour of the caves and vine production area.Wines we tasted were great too. Highly recommend. Read more
