Raymond Vineyards

Absolutely amazing time at Raymond Vineyards. I’ve never been on a vineyard tour before but it will be hard to top that. Ché was fabulous, super funny and friendly. Really knowledgeable about the wines, the area, and had fun stories. We did the Main Salon tasting. The wines were great. We had some extra time, so Ché took us to the Red Room, Crystal Room, and library and map rooms. All of the rooms were super interesting and unique. We bought some wine and souvenirs, all of which were actually fairly priced. After our tasting, we walked around the grounds, pretty cool place and we got to feed the goats. Definitely recommend visiting Raymond Vineyards! Ché was awesome!

So, I have nothing to compare this to as I had never been to a winery but I absolutely loved my experience. At the very least, it’s a great winery for beginners. My husband & I were visiting Napa & Sonoma for a wedding and were able to make last-minute reservations for this wine tasting. We sat outside with views of the vineyard and tasted 5 different wines that were all wonderful. Our host was so friendly & informative. We had lots of time to look around at the vineyard outside as well as the inside. Loved the laid-back vibe with an eccentric flare! You do have an opportunity to purchase bottles of wine after the tasting but they are not pushy with the sales at all and you don’t get any kind of “stuffy” feeling….oh! And the pizza was just the cherry on top!

Oh my stars—what a neat place! Che’ hosted us on a tour and this was such a unique place. She’s personable and beautiful and taught us about the wine and the region. It’s artistic and fantastic and ALIVE—highly recommend a visit. The wine was fantastic, and add in the vibe and hospitality—worth every cent!

Fun interesting atmosphere. Staff was friendly. Each room was different with touch and smell sensory stations related to wine. Our wine expert was Melanie. She was knowledgeable and nice. Unfortunately they were out of alot of the wines that we would have liked to try/buy. They are dog friendly inside and outside. Only took off 1 star for poor wine selection. Only dry wines today and it wasn't my favorite.

We signed up for the Winemakers for a day and was it ever informative. My wife and I knew that we liked certain types of wine but never knew why, but now we do thanks to this opportunity. After going through the session, we were able to make our own blend, which was really cool, and have it bottled for us. The instructor / guide was very informative, friendly, and willing to answer any questions we had. The experience was something that I had been looking forward to doing but couldn't get signed up. Shout out the wonderful staff at the JCB tasting room for getting us in. Highly recommended opportunity. It's on the pricier side of things but in comparison to what you get at other vineyards / tasting room, this one is actually worth it!

Ché gave our tour and she was so much fun and so personable. We loved the tour and she was the best host we could have asked for!

What a lovely tasting. Leona was very engaging and we tasted some lovely wines here. We joined the club and got a peek at some of the other tasting rooms (very cool!)Their club also is affiliated with many other clubs so we get privileges elsewhere.

We just had (15 August 2023) an absolutely incredible time at Raymond Vineyards in Napa Valley! The vine tasting experience hosted by the knowledgeable and wonderful gentleman, Paul, was truly unforgettable. His expertise and passion for the wines, history of the region as well of the vineyards as well as all the expertise behind made the tasting even more enjoyable. The picturesque unique setting of the vineyard added to the charm, making it a perfect day. I love the love for the crystal glass of the owners too. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a top-notch wine tasting in Napa Valley. Shame we couldn’t stay for the party in their signature night club 🍇🍷🍇 PS: @Paul it will be GBP fiver with the King Chuck for your collection next time :-) Thank you for a terrific time 🙏🏻

This is one of the most unique years I've ever been to in Napa and I live in San Francisco! It's so eclectic and unique, everything about this experience was amazing! First off the wine was absolutely amazing, but we came because we signed up for the " winemaker for the day" program, which led to make and bottle your own wine! This was honestly one of the best experiences we've ever had a Napa Valley, the experience itself was so interactive, and we got to really taste multiple blends and make our own custom blend! We brought our friends here after they got married, and this was a perfect way to celebrate them! Jose was our teacher for the class and he was amazing, so knowledgeable and really taught as a lot about wine! 10000/10 I'll be back to Raymond Vineyards

I had a great experience at Raymond. My company had a team offsite and we booked Raymond for the winemaker for a day and the red room experiences. Our activity consisted of us being broken up into multiple teams creating our own red blend. Whichever team had the best blend, that blend was bottled up and given to each employee with a custom label and our company logo on it. It was the coolest thing. While our wine was being bottled, we hung out in the red room. It was moody, plush, plenty of seating at the big table and the lounge area. There was also a pool room attached so some of us played a few games. Red and white wines were passed out. It was a vibe and it was very cool, as if we went back in time. I highly recommend if you're looking to do a team/company offsite or winetasting with your friends, but you do need to book an appointment. Don't forget to take lots of pictures because there are plenty of photo ops on the property.

Beautiful settings Outstanding wines Outstanding service Overall fantastic experience every single time! Melanie & Maha always a pleasure to visit!

This is a sexy winery. I love all the themed rooms. Everything is velvet, soft to touch, and really cool to look at. Right when you think it's just the one room you get to enjoy they have a red room, gold room, a huge outdoor space with places to sit or take pictures. Beautiful fun property. Service fantastic and they gave us a tour of the property. Great times.

Special shout out to Robert for being amazing! All of the staff here are very friendly hospitable, you will not be disappointed! Raymond is known for their cabs (Cabernet Sauvignon) but also great Chardonnay, jcb champagne, style vibes, great energy, also a walkout in the garden, their biodynamic and sustainable. You could even take a class and be a winemaker for a day! The unity cab was especially a delight...highly recommend Raymond sunny, ché, leona and Robert.!

On our way to Raymond we drove through the avenue of the senses. The eyeball greeted our experience as we twisted and turned through the driveway surrounded by vines. It was our first time! The winery had an amazing french moulin rouge and magical inspired feel! We were comforted by a warm welcome from the kind lady at the front. She was very excited to show us around. The atmosphere was very different in each room we went in. The Crystal Cellar shared my name so we started our tour there! One of my favorites, the chic Crystal Cellar was highlighted with strong woman characters such as maleficent and wonder women. A gorgeous avant-garde style gown at the center with a large crystal at the forefront of the tasting bar to manifest balanced energies. My other favorite room was the red room, with an en suite game room. The room boasted red velvet & decorated crystal every where the eyes could see. I would love to have this room for my birthday in January this year! We eventually ended up in the outdoor gardens with the red reserve where we enjoyed live acoustic classics such as Hotel California, while gazing at the gorgeous sunset over the endless green vineyards and large towering trees. The outdoor experience was surreal. As mentioned by the host themselves, Raymond wine is a transformative elixir that transports us into another dimension of passion. With every glass of Raymond, it transports you into a world where dreams take shape and passions come alive. Savor the magic! We love Raymond!

Raymond Winery in St. Helena is a fantastic spot for wine lovers! Their outdoor area, which opened on Memorial Day, has a cozy backyard vibe with a vineyard backdrop. The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is great. I tried their White Meritage, Red Meritage, Malbec, and two Cabernet Sauvignons (one from St. Helena and one from Napa Valley)--all delicious. They also offer a complimentary 6-inch veggie pizza that tastes great. Their tasting menu includes one white and five reds, though I wish they had more whites. It's pet-friendly, so bring your dog! Highly recommend for a fun outing with friends or family or any special occasion. Make sure to call for reservations!

We had an amazing day at Raymond Vineyards! The best birthday ever! Everything from the 'Winemaker for the Day' with Jose, to the 'Tour and Tasting' with Paul was so enchanting. I forgot the name of the very sweet lady who greeted us both visits- she is super kind and brought tears of happiness to my heart (literally). The lovely, gracious and hospitable welcome we experienced when we arrived was above all we experience in the valley! Thank you all at Raymond Vineyards for such a wonderful memorable birthday!

Had a tasting at Raymond today and it was so nice. Laurel was our tour guide and she was so great! Super passionate and knowledgeable. Raymond hits all of the senses, taste, smell, hear, and touch. It was an EXPERIENCE. I don't want to give it all away. Please just come for yourself, you won't regret it!

Visited a lot of wineries in St Helena but this one stood out in terms of value for money. The experience was very elevated and we didn't spend too much. Che was our host and we absolutely loved her. She showed us all the toured experiences over and above our planned visit in the Crystal Room. She's fantastic and you'll learn so much from spending time with her. The winery allows under 21 year olds and that was important to us since we were in a big family group. They even offered us mock-tails for the teens. We were walk ins but accommodated easily. Overall this was a 10 star experience. Can't wait to come back and can't wait to join the wine club too. Highly recommend!

I love Raymond Vineyards! I've been a member since 2021 and it just keeps getting better! I wish I could go visit everyday but alas... work. I do make a point to come every month or two. Everyone is super friendly and professional. I enjoy tastings in the Crystal Cellar with Leo and Natalie - they're both awesome. The Crystal Cellar focuses on their red wines. You also have the option to do a standard tasting which is inside at the bar area outside in the summertime. I also love wandering the property - they have a beautiful garden with many plants / flowers / vegetables and goats :) The wine of course is top-notch at a very reasonable price point. Their flagship is Generations Cab so if there are events for this I high suggest attending. I love their mountain cabs - all complex and with deep flavors. I'm also a fan of their white wines and rose. The LVE Rose is always a favorite and with member price of $20 is a steal! Their sparkling wines are also delicious as the owner JCB himself is French, he knows his bubbly! I love that they have several sister properties (Buena Vista, Elizabeth Spencer, DeLoach) that you can also get tastings covered at with your membership. In addition there's other tasting rooms where you get discounted tastings in downtown Napa and Calistoga. The interior feels super luxurious and reflects the eclectic and fancy style of the owner, JCB. I can't quantify the value I have received from my membership here. There are always release parties, dinner events, holiday events that members have access to. I have taken all my family and friends here and it's always a great time. If you even just go a few times a year, I highly suggest becoming a member!

I've been visiting wineries in both Napa and Sonoma for over 12 years. My experience at Raymond was absolutely one of the best. The wine is amazing, the hospitality was personal and professional The photo opportunities are 2nd to none . Bonus points if you ask for CHE - she was amazing.

I took my wife to "Winemaker for the Day" at Raymond Vineyards! It was an amazing experience. We were greeted with a glass of wine and allowed to walk around before the class started. Customer service was impeccable. Candice provided a great class and instructions on how to make wine. We were given several chances to create a wine to our liking. We created three bottles of wine in which we can order and share with our friends. The atmosphere is amazing and they have amazing decor. There's a hallway where you can smell fragrances. It's very lovely.

No words! Incredible, had no idea what to expect and this place is amazing! If you are looking for something different, fun, amazing service, welcoming staff, incredibly unique, like no other winery I've seen! We came for a "Wine Maker for a Day" experience while on a well deserved 16th wedding anniversary trip. SO lucky to have gotten Jose as our wine maker guide for the day, he was so sweet and knowledgeable, walked us through the whole process, educational but not overwhelming, learned a lot and walked away with a unique bottle of wine crafted by us to share with friends! Cannot recommend this place more highly, if you are looking for something different, wine making that is thoughtful but not stuffy, an accessible location with whimsy and lightness, look no further! And if you're able to request a guide, Jose Mendoza is your man, truly this was the highlight of our 3 days in St. Helena! We will be retuning!!

Such a great experience, complete made by Ché. We felt like such VIPs! So cool to learn so much about the history and processes of Raymond winery, but made so personal and not just your generic Napa tasting. Highly recommend Raymond vineyards, and 100% request Ché for the best experience!

First time at this vineyard to celebrate a birthday. We made reservations for the wine making experience. We waited & waited for another different group to show. We were on time , however another group was late . You would have thought that they would have offered us wine, since we had to wait on other groups. No they didn't at all. The hostess that was facilitating the class, she took us back to get started. She was very nice and apologetic. However, the late party arrived and the guy that brought the party of 6 back, insisted that we make changes to our seats to accommodate the group of 6 that was late. We explained, but he insisted that we move from the seats we were already seated in. Again the lady hostess was nice and the experience was just okay. For the amount of money, I expected top tier experience and a breadstick or a chocolate. No , I will not be going back.

My sister and brother-in-law are members at Raymond Vineyards and I tagged along with them a few weeks ago for their cellar sale which is like their Black Friday event in the spring. The members got to shop earlier than the public and it's a good thing to line up early because a lot of people were there and a bunch of the good wine sells out fast! Wines started as low as $5 and went up to the $50+ range! We got so many great wines! My favorite find were the Frenchie wines! I love the packaging and crates they come in! We luckily snagged the last ones and we got so many questions from other shoppers where we found it. The staff at Raymond Vineyards was really nice. They brought out wine glasses for us while we waited in line so we could try a few before purchasing. I highly recommend bringing your own cart or trolley if you plan on purchasing a lot of wine at their cellar sale. In total we brought home over 50 bottles! OMG! We had wine coming out of our ears! We have more than enough to last us a year and most will probably be for gifts for friends and family. Can't wait to come back again soon!

Raymond is very hospitable and welcoming. This wa suppose to be our second stop after Twomey. Which was fast tracked (see my review of Twomey) due to not good experience with previous winery. Our Host Maha is amazing and very welcoming.

We visited a series of vineyards wineries whatever in 6-7 hours driving around Napa County California winery vineyards last Saturday. Just had to do this once in a lifetime...no stash no cash...Raymond is a playground..they love Frenchie dogs and have souvenirs in the back room...sip some wino..and buy wine for $5 to more...souvenirs fun..walking around the place..there's some silly animals and a fun photo area..super place to visit in Napa County..the other wineries are not as fun as Raymond.

Wow! I thought I already gave my opinion on this place. How could I forget this one? Holy moly. If you want to go somewhere different, this place is for you. Just look at the photos. I was so amazed by this place. I mean, there were mannequins, the different lights, scenes....amazing. They have these super cool rooms that you can reserve for a dinner. I would love to do that one day. The wines here were fair. Most of them seemed to be on the sweeter side. I like my wines on the dry side. There were a couple I liked but the samples were very small. Anyhow, unfortunately, bad service can affect my judgement of a place. But if I forget about her, I still would give them 3 stars because the wine I tasted was okay, not spectacular and not bad. I would say this place is definitely eclectic and if you want a traditional wine tasting and environment, you might want to go elsewhere.

I highly recommend spending an afternoon wine tasting at Raymond vineyards for anyone looking to deepen their appreciation for wine and enjoy a lovely day in a beautiful setting. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned wine enthusiast, there's something for everyone. I left with not only a few bottles to take home but also wonderful memories ,Delicious tastings and amazing outside views .

We discovered Raymond Vineyards through our membership at Buena Vista Winery in Sonoma. As a side note: that membership is probably the best value membership I've seen in wine country because you get free tastings at so many wineries and tasting rooms, including Raymond. Raymond is a unique winery in the Napa Valley, in the sense that one of their tasting rooms is not your usual wood-paneled, stone-floored classic European chateau. It's called the Crystal Room. As expected, there's a big chandelier. Other than that, nothing is what you'd expect. It's a fully functioning wine production room, so it's chilly at 52 degrees (they do offer you blankets). There are also lucite bar chairs, trendy up lights and burlesque mannequins a la moulin rouge. It's a fun and definitely unique tasting experience. Also..beware that they only serve Cabernet in the Crystal Room, so if you prefer white wine, consider asking about a different tasting room.

did a wine tasting here on the Napa up valley trolley tour. Ché was amazing and so fun. she was super informative and made the tasting interesting and entertaining! recommend!

My family went yesterday & had the best experience. We received amazing service from Amy, Leona, & especially Rafa! All staff members went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of our experience. The place was also beautiful on the inside & outside. Overall an amazing day!

Raymond was first on our trip to the Napa area - my husband and I came to celebrate our 10th anniversary and had our well-traveled and sweet 6 & 3 year olds with us. To our surprise many, if not, most places are 21+ which was disappointing. My husband went in and spoke to Marilyn to inquire and share our dilemma. Marilyn was incredibly nice and so accommodating and welcomed us with open arms to Raymond's. She even made us a handwritten list of kid-friendly wineries in the area and attached it to a map. Ché guided us through our tasting and tour and was fantastic - kind, funny and knowledgeable :) the ambiance is funky and artistic and very laid back! It was the perfect afternoon for our family!

This is a very fun, eclectic and stylish winery with just about the friendliest and most personable employees I've ever encountered. You can't go wrong at this place.

Raymond Tour is unique and educational and I loved it. Maha really made the experience. All the women who were there were so girl friendly and talking to us and having fun and telling jokes on the tour. The Frenchie wine bottle and wine itself was great. Feels like everyone says hi and greets you when you walk by, maybe because Maha knows everyone and she's a very fun, uplifting and positive person. Paul at the bar was very professional and kind, Leo not so much on the professionalism. Overall, Maha and the ladies made this tour for me. Because of Maha I ordered caviar and sparkling wine at JCB after, Despite the very high bill, the service at JCB just wasn't the same as Raymond.

I organized a tasting for me, my friends, and our families and the hospitality was sadly lackluster. A couple of my friends ran a little late and though I was apologetic for the inconvenience, our host Natalie's tone and demeanor upon greeting was immediately unwelcoming with an air of annoyance at our group. Not only that, she didn't even actually introduce herself to me. We were seated in the crystal cellar with a good amount of space. The wines themselves were great with the 2019 District Collection Rutherford being particularly impressive for its powerful yet elegant blackcurrant notes intertwined with earthen tones and followed by ample oaky tannins. That said, none of the reds were at all close to justifying their retail prices. Going back to the poor hospitality, that truly soured the experience for us. My wife noted that Natalie made comments as well about having everyone finish their current pour together so that she would not have to make multiple trips. Behavior like this made it clear that we were seen as an inconvenience more than anything else. My friends all felt unwelcome and I'm just relieved that we all still had a good time in each other's company. I would not recommend Raymond Vineyards to anyone, especially those with families. If this is any reflection of how they treat guests with children, they should just change their policy so that we can look elsewhere.

Boy, were we impressed! Not only was the wine absolutely fantastic but so was our guide Leo! We had so much fun with him! we got an incredible little tour around the property and ended in a beautiful room with some amazing Cabernets! Our girlfriend is a Club Member and wow do they treat their members hospitably... Look up the word hospitable and you'll probably see a picture of Leo! Lol Can't wait to go back... Thank you again, Leo... You made our day! I'm sure my two beautiful girls made your day as you can see in the pictures! Lol

If you're looking for something different and interesting to do, this should be on your list of things to do while visiting Napa. I had a really good time making my bottle of wine!

Really great spot! Beautiful vineyard with unique and quirky interior. We only ended up here because we had a 2 for 1 tasting coupon, and we are so glad we did! The main tasting room is a big room with giant silver wine vats surrounding you. The theme is "Cabaret" and has a very rich and velvety vibe. There are mannequins dressed in glitter hanging from the ceiling (not in cheap way) which make it a great spot for photo ops! Other unique and fun reasons to visit - 1) they have a self-guided nature walk through plants and animals (goats, chickens). There is a QR code that takes you to a website with audio to describe what you're looking at. 2) they have a "sensation" hallway where you can feel different textures and smell different aromas / guess what you're smelling. The actual tasting was good. I did the "Taste of the Valley" (good variety of wines) and my companion did the "Crystal" tasting which was many different Cabernet Sauvignons. We were even able to "revisit" our favorite one at the end with another taste.

Che was our guide and she was simply the best! Loved the vibe at this vineyard, not to be outdone by the incredible wines we enjoyed. But Che was the best part! She was knowledgeable, informative, and quite entertaining. The eclectic atmosphere was also a fun part of our visit. Quite unique. We had a wonderful time and will definitely come back!

We love it here. The eclectic decor is fun. Miss the mannequins though! The service by Melanie was exceptional and she toured us around the property after our tasting in the crystal room. Their membership club is also awesome as it allows you access to any of their properties, including Buena Vista, Deloach, and numerous others...great times at all we've gone to so far!

I went to Raymond Vineyards on Tuesday, December 12 and had an absolute FANTASTIC TIME! We were there to celebrate my best friends birthday. Her birthday of Life. The wine was amazing, the tour was amazing, and Che was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Che is very knowledgeable about everything... The wine, the manufacturing, the dirt, and the family. Che took care of us like we were part of the family. I have never been to a winery where there was someone like Che that knew so much about the fabulous wines/champagne at Raymond Vineyards. I can not drink red wines, and Che had a great tasting substitute for me. When I return, I am going to reserve the RED ROOM. Absolutely Stunning. Thanks for the great time and great wine. Nichelle

When: Saturday, February 26th, 2022 Time: 1pm Party of: 6 Appointment made via: Buena Vista Wine Club Coordinator and Tock BOOKED: The Crystal Cellar - $50 Inspired by the traditional candlelit cellars of France, the inimitable Crystal Cellar boasts stainless steel walls, a mirrored bar, and a collection of historical decanters. Here in a working cellar, beneath remarkable Baccarat chandeliers, guests discover another dimension of wine enjoyment while sampling Raymond's signature Cabernet Sauvignons. I'm a member at Buena Vista Winery. When planning a wine day on the Napa side, I decided to use my sister winery perks and try a tasting at Raymond. Our party size kept changing, but I ultimately made my final booking thru my coordinator 8 days prior. (They were very sweet and understanding with everything, so thank you!) After booking, I was sent a confirmation via Tock. Benefits at sister wineries are the same: 4 complimentary tastings and 20% off everything else. THE CRYSTAL EXPERIENCE: 2019 JCB Unity Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon: 542 cases produced (Bottle: $75 regular, $60 member) 2017 St Helena Cabernet Sauvignon: 200 cases produced (Bottle: $100 regular, $80 member) 2017 Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon: 100 cases produced (Bottle: $110 regular, $88 member) 2018 Generations Cabernet Sauvignon: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (Bottle: $145 regular, $116 member) I enjoyed the last two wines the most, but I was very interested in their 2017 Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon (Bottle: $110 regular, $88 member). I was hoping to try it, but unfortunately, they didn't have one open, so I wasn't able to. Not wanting to spent $88 on something I wasn't sure I would like, I ended up passing. No one in my party ended up buying any wine as we were all interested in wines not on the tasting list and they didn't have anything else open. (Weird as I thought they offered other tastings with different wines, but I didn't question it.) I'm not sure how pricing works for members tasting wise, but I was charged $36.94 per person for the two additional tastings. I tipped about $60 on top, so with tax, etc, our total ended up being $140 for the 6 of us. So now on to the space. The cellar has a club like feel with chandeliers, paintings, mannequins (in a burlesque like vibe), steel barrels, etc. But OMG! It was sooo cold! Like uncomfortable cold. My gf and I were the first ones to show up and we walked into our appointment without jackets. Promptly after being seated, she ran out to the car to get our jackets. I was wishing I had hand warmers on me to keep myself warmer. Other than that, the vibe is fun. Very modern with mirrored tables, etc. And the music wasn't too loud, so you can still have a convo. The Crystal Experience is definitely unique, but they should warn you about the temperature. Make sure to dress very warmly. You will be tasting in what feels like a wine fridge!

I came with a group of family friends for a private tour & tasting for a birthday celebration. It was such a beautiful scenery and the wine was tasty, I had to bring one home! Our tour guide was super sweet and gave us chocolate to pair with the cabernet. I think this is the perfect place to visit on a Napa Valley trip. Make sure to place reservations before hand! The tour guide also went in detail about the history and entire process of winemaking. Such a fun time!

Favorite winery of Napa hands down. This quirky and unconventional winery surely left a mark on us. A breath of fresh air from the stuffy, and pretentious typical Napa winery. We've found that typical Napa wineries are crowded, overpriced and overhyped. Raymond doesn't disappoint. Walked away with several bottles to add to our bar at home. This is a must stop whenever we're in the area or showing a loved one around in Northern California.

This place was so entertaining. I didn't know all the stuff that went into the process of wine making and originally I did care because I'm not a wine drinker. But this place opened my eyes. For instance did you know they use rose bushes at the end of each row to show the health of the vines? And I love how they don't use any chemicals or pesticides but utilize nature as it should be used. And our tour guide Jim was AWESOME!!!!! He needs a raise. My group and I were having some bad experiences with Napa, but he turned it around and made our day. Hopefully in the future I can go back and do the "make your own wine" lab.

We did the "Winemaker for a Day" class which was a cool experience. Essentially you get the opportunity to blend your own bottle of wine and take it home! You can even customize the label for it which I thought was unique. Reservations for the class are made in advance. They send you an e-mail to fill out a form about your wine label and to send in pictures/templates if you decide to use your own. For the actual class you get put into a "lab" where the instructor goes over the process. You make three different blends, pick your favorite and they put into a bottle. You get to cork the wine and put the label on yourself! -- We did try to do a quick tasting after and the person there was a bit rude which was the complete opposite of our wine maker instructor. Based on that unfortunate encounter would recommend the class only

Natalie was wonderful and so she introduced me and my ladies to a variety of wine, educated us to the history of different districts in Napa, the soil variety, and showed us the gorgeous tasting rooms they offer. My ladies and I are all fans now and we became members. Love love my tasting experience and the wine she introduced us to. Even ones off menu .

Great, interactive vineyard! Posh rooms, funky art, goats to pet! A great experience.

Prior to coming to Napa I did some research on what wineries I really wanted to experience in my short time. Raymond Vineyards stood out to me because I wanted to end my day of wine tasting....not wine tasting but still enjoying the beauty of Wineries. Raymond had so many options but I was sold with table service in the Red Room. I booked my time for my husband and myself to enjoy the evening before dinner. We arrived about 10 minutes late but were graciously forgiven and whisked to this mighty beautiful room filled with high back chairs, gorgeous chandeliers, Velvet red couches and tons of very unique books. We had a seat at one of the velvet lounges and just sat for a few minutes taking in all of the eye catching furnishings, long drapes for ceiling to floor and the beautiful piano. We were greeted by Maha who was absolutely amazing and created a very grand experience for us. She indulged us in conversation and had a wealth of knowledge of the Winery and it's history which we absolutely loved to hear. Maha was hand's down a vital part to our overall Excellent experience at Raymond Vineyards. The experience was so grand I almost forgot to mention the Amazing Rose we had, while not usual sparkling Rose fans it was very good. I hope to return to this location in the future!

Truly, a fun wine tour with Rebecca, Kara and Lisa. Excellent representation of a fun brand and tons of good bubbly and wine. Thank you Karaand Lisa for a wonderful experience and wine country.

Give Chè your attention as she takes you thru a journey of not only Raymond but Napa valley history, geography and geology. She will take you on a journey of 6 wines and how they relate to your life in Napa valley, CA. Highly recommend!

50 shades of grape. It's weird, y'all. Real weird. It feels like you stepped into some sort of odd, cheap-feeling Vegas swingers lounge. Like...maybe you need to list a safe word when you make reservations. Let bad music fill the air while you peruse over priced jewelry and $300 dollar perfume for some reason. This is the kind of place where a couple might buy you a glass of wine and say "Hey, my wife and I saw you from across the bar..." If you're looking for a more laid back experience, skip this place. If you *really* wish the Jersey Shore had never gone off the air, then throw on your best Ed Hardy, spray on some Axe and get here yesterday, bro. Wines are decent.

We loved how different it was from other wineries. We did one of each tasting. The wine was very good. We also went on a short tour of the inside. The decor is fun.

The wine was great here but the experience our host Daniela gave us was even better. She really is attentive also the history and knowledge she has on this winery is A1. Great story teller.

Now Raymond, YOU have truly outdone yourself!!! Raymond Vineyards provided one of the BEST Napa Valley wine tasting experiences that I've had during COVID. Their estate is immaculate, the service is impeccable, and the wines are absolutely scrumptious! Went wine tasting in Napa Valley a few months ago with a friend, and Raymond Vineyards was our first stop of the day. It honestly should have been our last stop of the day because no other tasting even came close to the one that we ended up having here. FIRST of all... let's have a round of applause for their absolutely stunning estate! Unfortunately their famous Crystal Cellar and Red Room are closed to the public during COVID, but this honestly doesn't even matter. I absolutely LOVED their outdoor COVID setup. Each tasting area is setup privately with a covered vented tent that has views of their beautiful pool area. You can zip the tent down for more privacy or you can keep it open to take in the view. Each tent also has a little heater inside which was perfect because it kept us warm throughout our tasting. When you first enter into the building, there's a host who will check you in. After check in, you walk down the hallway to their back patio. But STOP... that hallway is so magical! It's got that all too familiar JCB flair! Super stylish, and you can peek into all of the beautiful tasting rooms as you walk through. They've made this hallway one way during COVID, so if you have to use the restroom, try to go beforehand to avoid having to walk back around to the front of the building. Once you make it out of the hallway, you'll be brought to their gorgeous garden area. There's a path that will take you to their tasting area right by the pool. We were greeted and hosted by Maha who was OUTSTANDING! Wow! Talk about knowledge, personality, and beauty. We simply loved her! We wanted to take her with us to the next tasting, but obviously that wasn't happening. But wow, she was so much fun. Shoutout to Maha because she simply MADE the experience here. I would come back just to have another tasting with her! Excellent service! And the wines... wowza. Fell in love with them. Their Chardonnay, their Red Blend, and their Cabernet were all top notch. I'm not really big on Cabs but hot dayum. The Cabs that she poured us were like silk. Just sooooo smooooth and incredibly balanced. Just dying to be paired with... SOMETHING. But even on their own, they were just fabulous. It kept tasting better and better with each sip. That "make you turn into an alki" type of wine. Oh yessir indeed. We were seriously feelin' it. Just delicious. Mmm. This was one of the most relaxing tastings that I've had during COVID. We really lost track of time and wished that we could have stayed longer. Next time, I will definitely make sure to allot for more time for our tasting. But even with the time that we were able to spend here, it was such an exceptional experience. This was definitely my favorite JCB winery experience to date. I'm already planning another trip back very soon. Hoping to get Maha again next time!

My husband and I have been coming to Raymond Vineyards for almost 20 years. We always enjoy the beautiful property, wonderful staff and consistently excellent wines. Our visit this weekend stood above the dozens of others thanks to our host, Bethany. Bethany's knowledge of, and passion for, Raymond wines made for a fun and fascinating afternoon. She shared the usual tasting notes and discussion of terrior but what made this visit so special was the stories she shared about the Raymond boys, many generations of the Boisset family, and the talented winemakers. It took our love of Raymond wines to another level and we will think of Bethany and these colorful characters as we enjoy our latest case...and the many more that will follow. Thank you, Bethany!
