I was annoyed that they MAKE you take the tour (and you MUST have reservations). There is no option to just enjoy the tasting. $25 is a steep price for sample of four wines. The tour takes you "into the caves" - not too far into the caves. Basically you see two rooms. Then I understood. The tour is fascinating.... more

Really enjoyed it...it cost $25, but that includes sampling 4 of their sparkling wines. Great location too. more

Yes, Schramsberg requires appointments as a good half of wineries in Napa do. Yes, Schramsberg is expensive at $25 a person but well worth it. Schramsberg is best known for its sparkling wine served at the White House and other State functions since Nixon's adminstration.

First - you must have an appointment - this is not a public tasting vineyard. However, once you arrive, it is clear that you in for a treat - excellent products, knowledgable and helpful staff, and a beautiful vineyard retreat along the mountainside. Highly recommended. more

Schramsberg Cellars had to be one of the best stops we made in Napa. I disagree with the last post that Schramsberg is unwelcoming. You will find many places in Napa... more

The sign at the bottom of the driveway says appts for tours not tastings We had driven all the way from Sonoma just to do a tasting which they would not allow . it is a long drive & hard to find - I would give it a miss - go to J Winery - it was so busy and... more

Would be number one on my list of things to absolutely not miss in Napa Valley. Friendly people, generous tastings...All A+++ more

The staff members at Schramsberg Vineyards are first rate! They are knowledgeable without being pretentious. Their tour and tasting are well worth the trip. The tour is free but the tasting is not. While the tasting is pricey, it was well worth the experience and information. Before you go, make sure you call first (707-942-2414). Tours are available by appointment... more
