“A Terrific Experience”

Schramsberg Vineyards

5 of 5 stars
Santa Ana, California
Mar 23, 2006
7/8 found this review helpful

Six of us (three couples) spent two days in the Napa Valley. Schramsberg was on the list of things to see because one of the couples served Schramsberg to toast their commitment ceremony the year before. Our tour guide--perhaps a better term "our host--was Richard Gambatese. After a brief introduction to the success and history of the Schramsberg Winery and the Davies family, he walked us back into the large caves that have been carved out of the hillside. Large? Space enough to store 2 million bottles of aging sparkling wines. It was facinating. Richard was engaging, charming and very knowledgeable. While the staff has considerable pride in their products, they were all understated, casual and very approachable. We felt welcomed and cared for. The tasting consisted of six of their sparkling wines--ranging in price, quality, and of course taste. We learned so much. The tour is $25. Well worth the price. We joined their wine club--which entitles us to free tours in the future.

“Best Napa Experience”

Schramsberg Vineyards

Mar 6, 2006
4/4 found this review helpful

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.

“Amazing Place, Amazing Champagne”

Schramsberg Vineyards

Aug 18, 2005
6/7 found this review helpful

My husband and I had not experienced Schramsberg champagne (well sparkling wine, but you get it) prior to this trip. The tour was at the suggestion of friends. WOW! 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 which require an appointment (Opus One for example). It is a very popular place with a very cool, but limited tasting room. The tour was informative, and the caves quite cool. The grounds, as noted by others, are beautiful.

The sparkling wine? Amazing. We are now members of the Cellar Club as it is great to receive shipments with wines from their library which cannot be purchased in our area.

Two thumbs up and a must if you are visiting Napa. Make an appointment, it is definitely worth it!

“unwelcoming”

3/10 found this review helpful

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 bubbly there - they do tastings with food pairings either at the bar or in their bubble room ( book this it was SO popular!)
