Reviews for Priest Ranch Wines Tasting Room in Yountville, CA

Very welcoming. And very good wine of coach gun and snake oil

Ive been going to Priest tasting room in Yountville for years and they really take care of their guests. My father lives at the... Veterans home and comes to Priest Ranch everyday as a wine club member and all the staff take wonderful care of him. On top ofthat when I come with my father they always take care of me as well and treat me like a friend/family. Their wines are wonderfulwith a lot of varietals and vintages. They are very dog friendly inside and out. In the winter they have a fireplace andbeautiful Christmas tree so you can taste your wines with a great ambiance. The bacon experience is great and they also have acheese patter that is tasty too. Don't sleep on this place! Read more

Really enjoyed our tasting at Priest Ranch. Excellent variety of wines -we especially loved the cab and the syrah. The... charcuterie plate was a wonderful choice for pairing with the wines. Jose made the experience very special. Read more

Great tasting. Our host was incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. Answered a lot of our questions. The Cabs are amazing,... particularly the Snake Oil. The Block 81 Malbec was also a highlight. Read more

We did the bacon pairing tasting. The bacon was wonderful. The wine was good for the most part. The bacon definitely enhanced... the wine. We were so disappointed with our wine guide, James, who prepoured our wine before we arrived. Then left us to drink byourselves. The only education we received about the wine and the vineyard was from a little brochure left on table and what Iwas able to learn on the internet. He didn’t tell us anything about the vintages he poured us or anything about the estate orthe family who made the wine. This is such an important part of what draws me to the wine besides how it tastes. I thought thiswas such a poor execution; lazy to be honest. Never again. Next time will go to the vineyard.

Interesting wine paring. Really good atmosphere, especially during day time. Overall experience is alright though. ????

We first discovered Priest Ranch a number of years ago when we stayed across the street at the Villagio Hotel. We really enjoyed... the experience there - the small winery feel, the delicious wines and the friendly welcome of the staff. We ordered a few winesto ship home and fell in love - we became members and now have a steady supply of wine coming to the house. Fast forward 5 yearsand we made another trip to the tasting room yesterday for the bacon and wine pairing experience. Again, we were welcomed likefamily by Melissa and Jose. They made us feel so welcomed and treated us like VIPs. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming, thewine is our absolute favorite (period!) and the bacon and wine experience was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. Afterheading out for some dinner, we even found ourselves back there for a pottery event - where my wife left with a couple ofbeautiful custom made bowls. We are here for a week - we'll definitely be back again before we head home to NC. Read more

*The experience* We arrived at a charming tasting room in Yountville, and although seated inside, the french doors were wide... open and it was a wonderful day. "The Caviar & Bubbles Experience", it was explained, was a chance to drink Priest Ranches onlysparkling wine along with an ounce of caviar, a curiously remarkable amount of crème fraîche, and a bag of Kettlechips. Although the website doesn't specify, we were served Plaza Baerii, siberian sturgeon caviar, for those of you whocare. *The thoughts* The Brut Rosé is definitely the star of, and the point of, this experience. I enjoy caviar immensely,and dry sparkling wines pair well with it. But everything else after the bottle is opened feels like an after-thought. Thisisn't a "caviar experience". It's an opportunity to drink an entire bottle of Priest Wine's excellent Rosé with some caviar andchips, and that's ok. Really. But there was really too much crème fraîche and not enough chips.
