"Without question, Quintessa is one of our favorite wine tasting experiences in the valley—it's also one of the locations where we recommend springing for a tour. The grounds are truly breathtaking (they include a calm, clear lake surrounded by vines), and you'll finish up at a perfect hilltop perch, taking in a grand view of the valley while you sip on one of Quintessa's red blends.

"Some wineries, like Quintessa, have returned to offering private tastings on the estate, while also continuing their virtual tastings online for those who aren’t able to come in person." - Sara Button

"The sauvignon blanc they make at Quintessa is fantastic, but it’s their red blend that will make you understand why some high price tags on wine are justified. Coming here for a tour feels as special as the wine they make. There are incredible views of the lake at the center of the vineyards. The cellars are so pretty you’ll want to have your engagement party in them, and the tasting rooms feel more like high-powered board rooms they might use for the G8 summit. Tours and tastings range from $70 to $150 - it’s not cheap, but it’s absolutely worth it." - Will Kamensky

I'd say a rather disappointing experience. I have recently joined membership of Flowers winery and was excited to check out prestigious Quintessa. Supposedly a 90 minute tour & tasting experience but we got about 10-15min golf cart ride, but then was given with minimal attention without introduction of the wine. ***Update*** Quintessa invited us back for estate experience on Dec 7th, Our host Lisa was super,we enjoyed a guided tasting that was both informative and enjoyable. Quintessa wine was of course the best! With the warm hospitality, highly recommended anyone who visits Napa. —————— I think if not with the annual complimentary benefit for partner winery, I will not pay for the $125 or $175 per person experience. Wine is great, we still bought a bottle home, but most likely will not return or bring family and friends over.

We had an amazing experience celebrating our anniversary at Quintessa. We stayed with the Alila who booked a complimentary tasting for us. Lisa was our host and she is a very knowledgeable sommelier with a passion for the work that Quintessa does. We appreciated the private tour.

Lovely experience, did the Collector’s Tour. Lisa our guide and brought us all around and we got a nice education of their process, saw the expansive facility, and tried some amazing wines. It also came with a little moment to sit under the gazebo and have some charcuterie and relax. All very private. Our appointment was a little bit later in the afternoon shortly before closing, but we never once felt rushed, she still took her time with us even though it was getting late and we really appreciated that considering it was our first time ever to that part of the country. Absolutely outstanding job, worth the money, will definitely be back.

Our visit to Quintessa Winery was spectacular and set an incredibly high bar for the rest of our trip. As our first stop, my husband, our friends, and I were welcomed warmly by a friendly and knowledgeable host who made us feel right at home. We never felt rushed, allowing us to fully savor each exquisite wine. The picturesque setting and impeccable service made the experience both elegant and inviting. Quintessa left us deeply satisfied and eager for a return visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an exceptional winery experience.

It will be hard to beat this experience in future vineyard and tasting visits. Beautiful property and tasting venue. We felt special. Our hostess was knowledgeable and very engaging. Thank you for a great birthday celebration.

An absolute beautiful place to visit and their wines are truly exceptional. I was with a group of six and we were hosted by Susan who was just amazing. She knows wines and everything about the estate making our visit to Quintessa one of the highlights of our week stay in the area. It was very memorable and we can't thank the staff, especially Susan, enough for their wonderful hospitality.

The most delightful private tasting by Susan, who was excellent. The wines cannot be beat & the pairings were the perfect touch. Quintessa was a highlight of our girls trip. Some of the best wine in the region offering an equally top tier experience to members & their guests. Lastly, the grounds are just incredibly gorgeous. Don’t miss this.

My husband and I only had the Salon experience but have no doubt that we would still give Quintessa 5-stars with other experiences too. This was our first time being welcomed to the Quintessa brand and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Our host Gregory was knowledgeable about the wines, funny to share personal stories with, and an overall wonderful human being for us to have been paired with. The wines themselves were just phenomenal and definitely carry weight with or without food. We hope to visit again when we are back in the area and perhaps try a different experience (if not, definitely different vintages)!
