Silverado Vineyards

Silverado was the first Vineyard we visited on our trip and the bar was set pretty high for the rest of the Vineyards we had on our list! From the beautiful hilltop location to the great service provided by our host, this Vineyard has a lot to offer those who are new to wine or wine aficionados! We sat down for the ‘Silverado Experience’ Tasting and got to try 2 estate grown white wines, the Miller Ranch Sauvignon Blanc (2023) and the Los Carneros Chardonnay (2022). The Sauvignon Blanc was crisp and quite refreshing while the Chardonnay was extremely well balanced, this was a standout for sure! We also tried the ABEL Cabernet Sauvignon (2021) & the HENRY Cabernet Sauvignon (2021), as well as the GEO & SOLO Cabs. The consensus was we thoroughly enjoyed the fruit forward notes from the ABEL and the unique flavor profiles from GEO! Our host knew this wine like the back of her hand, she was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the winemaking process, the regions, and the history of the Vineyard.

We were in Napa to have a ladies weekend getaway and celebrate our friend's birthday. The estate is beautiful and breathtaking. Our host was Phillip. His casual, calming demeanor was a perfect bow to wrap around our weekend experience. He created a chill space where we could explore the various lines of Silverado wines and shared delightful nuggets about the history of the estate, the wines, and the terroir. It was a pleasure getting to know him, taste the delicious wines, and learn the estate's rich history.

Had a great tasting and overall experience! I really liked being able to hear the history and see the artwork prior to a tasting. Great wines all around.

Wow, what an experience! Excellent wines, great tour and beautiful grounds. The service was exceptional.

Our schedule went awry due to the rain, and they were very accommodating. The wine was excellent, the experience was incredibly enjoyable, and the art and the property were gorgeous. I would highly recommend making a reservation if you are in the area.

Amazing spot for wine tasting, would definitely recommend. My friends are members and we got complimentary tastings. Their staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, the wines are of the best quality and the place itself is gorgeous. Their charcuterie board was delicious too, it paired perfectly with the wines.

We’ve been members of this beautiful winery for over 10 years. This is always our first stop when touring our out-of-town guests. There’s no better place to experience the beauty of the valley.

Just stopped by for a glass without a reservation. We knew we couldn't get a tasting without a reservation and we were fine with that. Boy were they snobs!!! And their prices for a glass was ridiculously priced.

I visited Napa for the first time this weekend, and Silverado Vineyard was our first stop--which was the perfect way to kick off the trip! The setting was absolutely beautiful, and since there weren't many other parties around, the ambiance felt intimate and relaxing. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was amazing. We were warmly greeted with a complimentary glass of wine before being seated at our high-top table, which had a stunning view of the vineyard. We got to sample five different wines at a range of price points, and each one had something unique to offer. My favorite ended up being the last one we tried--the Red Solo, which was smooth, rich, and memorable. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, patiently answering all my questions and making the tasting experience both educational and fun. If you're looking for a scenic, intimate, and welcoming winery experience in Napa, I highly recommend Silverado Vineyard.

First winery of the day it did give us a false sense of what to expect for the rest of the day. The first sign i read said no reservation necessary. That just wasn't true anywhere else but here. Beautiful architecture very calm and sophisticated environments with couches and lovely bar. The wine was delicious. I can't remember what bottle we bought. We did get one from here . Very beautiful place #5Stars

Beautiful location, tasting room and terraces. Wine is excellent even though not a Cab fan. Service was adequate. Very lukewarm greeting when we arrived, almost like we were an inconvenience. It was a beautiful day, 87 degrees and when we requested to sit on the terrace rather than indoors, we were told that it was against California law (effective 6/24/24) that service couldn't be provided if the temperature was over 85 degrees. I talked to 3 friends who work in the wine industry and none of them have ever heard of that law. Also, researched when I returned home and could find no information on that claim. I called 2 of the wineries we are members of and neither said that was the case. I believe it was because the servers didn't want to go outside and keep all guests in a central location to make service easier for them. Not very customer focused. Most likely won't return and definitely won't recommend.

The setting for Silverado Vineyards is beautiful. As a member of the wine club it is a frustrating experience to actually reach a human being and make any changes to the order. The poor customer service with the new wine club owners is problematic It does not make for a good experience.

Love love love, the food pairing, service and wine tasting were amazing. The wine educator was very passionate about wines and provided tremendous details on the wines and educated us to the fullest. 10 out of 10 recommend! The vineyard has this romantic setting and is so inviting. You must visit this vineyard when you go. The absolute best experience.

Beautiful views of the valley and the mountains. They greet you with a glass of wine and take you to our spot where all your wines for your tasting are already poured out and ready. Your guide is shared with whoever is there, so ours was talking to our table of 3 and another table of 2. They provided complimentary olives which was nice. We did this winery last (of 3 total) and I thought that it was a bit less intimate. The wines were talked about really fast, they were all great but I think the experience of being immersed into them was a bit lower. They did give us an extra tasting of a wine which we appreciated. Overall, beautiful views and building. Wines were nice

Such a phenomenal experience! When we arrived we were greeted by a very sweet lady at the check in desk who gave us a glass of rosé. We had Adam as our server and he was terrific. We were the first ones there and had the whole place to ourselves. Got to take pictures outside. Had a beautiful table of 3 against the window over looking the valley set up for our tasting experience. I would highly recommend anyone who is visiting Napa to visit. Pros: service & the beautiful views Cons: none

Our first stop of the day brought us to this beautiful serene like two-story casa mansion with a spectacular view. My favorite glass was the cab Franc. Check out our pics.

We had a wonderful tasting experience here. I knew nothing about this vineyard when I made the reservation, so I was happily surprised by the beautiful views and peaceful patio area. We shared the patio with only 3 other groups, and it felt very private and personalized. The atmosphere was subdued and relaxed; we were seated the entire time and got to savor our wines and soak in the scenery. The wines themselves were wonderful, and our tasting host was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend!

This vineyard is beautiful. The gondolas are top notch! The customer service is fabulous! Go check it out!

Big shout out to Beverly, the best concierge ever! She was extremely responsive when we called to make a reservation. Even on a holiday weekend, Beverly was able to lock us into an appointment for a tasting. She gave us our gate code and checked on us during our drive into Napa. We really appreciated the BIG parking stalls as we pulled up to the tasting room. They were very thoughtful and generous with free hand sanitizers and antibacterial wet wipes. Beverly greeted us warmly at the front door. We were escorted to our table on the patio. It was scenic, looking over acres and acres of vineyard. Our server poured five glasses and we fell in love with two :) Thank you Beverly, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience!

Wow, what an amazing experience! This winery checked all my boxes, beautiful property, outstanding wine and amazing hospitality! Our server, Laura made us feel like we were family and we should be right at home as we did our tasting. We happened to be there on the day of the eclipse and they had glasses for us to take a look! The view from this winery is also amazing. Very worth a visit!!!

Oh, Kelly... We had trouble getting a Lyft on Saturday and ended up arriving at 10:23 for our 10AM appointment. We called shortly before the 20 minute window expired and were met with extreme rudeness from Kelly, the operations manager. She explained to us that it was company protocol that they could not accept us. When we pulled into the lot, there were no other cars there, but they promised us it was full of people. They allowed us to change our reservation to Monday morning. On Monday, we arrived and they weren't ready for us until nearly fifteen minutes after our reservation. Our host wasn't available until nearly 45 minutes after our reservation and Kelly did the beginning of our experience herself. To be clear, our host was fantastic and did a much, much better job than Kelly with a way better vibe. The most angering part, though, was that the table next to us showed up nearly thirty minutes late and there were many open tables throughout our experience. Kelly is clearly on a power trip and is a stain on this winery's reputation.

We had a nice tasting at Silverado, especially the Cabernet Sauvignons that we had. There is a nice variety of wines, and they do pour a decent amount. Our server was not very knowledgeable, however, and in some ways spoke more about her than the wine. Also, we ordered the charcuterie platter for 4, and it was very, very small for the $75! I would not recommend it -- spend the money on a bottle of wine, or go to a place for lunch. But, avoid the platter!

On my second trip to Napa, I knew I had to get to Silverado. I had wanted to go there during my first visit in March of 2017, but at $60/tasting, I knew my boyfriend at the time wouldn't agree with that. But c'mon, being a mega Disney fan who also loves wine made this #1 on my list! (For those who don't know, Walt Disney's daughter, Diane, is co-founder of this winery). Alas, on my second trip, I was going with my sister. I warned her in advance of the price point which she didn't seem to mind (and let's be honest, even if she did, I would have covered for her.) I made reservations about a week in advance. I selected The Silverado Experience which as stated above was $60/person. I went back and forth on if I should make reservations or not. We were there in March and had planned to go there on a weekday, so it wasn't going to be crowded. I knew it would be cheaper to just do a walk-in tasting. But given that I missed out on Silverado last time, I didn't want to chance it. I'm glad I did the reservation as it includes a ~15 minute tour and history along with a seated tasting. After all, I needed the history to get some of that Disney magic! Out tour guide was Leslie and she was nice and knowledgeable. Luckily for us, it was just my sister and I on the tour which made it intimate and fun. Leslie has been there at least a few years and referenced Ron Miller (co-founder and Diane Disney Miller's husband) who had passed away just a few months prior. The way she spoke of him made me feel like he was very present and very much admired by the staff. Leslie took us on a tour of the grounds, which houses endless artwork from Diane Disney Miller's personal collection. So many beautiful pieces, a few of which were drawn by Disney artists. My personal favorite was a poster proposal for the film Ratatouille. Leslie told us that it got rejected because it showed a rat drinking from a wine bottle (keep in mind, it's a kids movie). Great story behind it is that she told us it was actually stolen off the Silverado grounds and eventually returned by a very embarrassed guest. Ouch! Kinda funny though! Leslie also took us outside and let me tell you....these views are some of the most breathtaking you will see in all of Napa! Just absolutely stunning, rolling green hills...another big reason why I wanted to come here! I could have sat out there all day! (Although it was a tad chilly in early March!). She even pointed out Lillian Disney's (Walt's wife) former home in the distance. Our tasting was inside, although I would have preferred an outside seated tasting with heat warmers (similar to Duckhorn). But we still had great views via the window. The tasting consisted of 4 tastings total (definitely pricey for $60!!!): 2017 Chardonnay; 2016 Fantasia, Cab and Sangiovese Blend; 2013 Cab; and 2012 SOLO Cab. All very good. Leslie also offered us a tasting of their Red Zinfandel. My sister and I were both surprised by how much we liked it and to be honest, neither of us knew that ZIns could be red! At the end, Leslie offered us another pour of one that we liked. So all told, with 6 tastings, it was still pretty pricey, but good. Afterwards, we went back on the terrace to snap a few pictures. Man, the views are just breathtaking. Luckily for us, there was only one other couple out there, so it was just so serene and peaceful and I loved taking it all in. Might be a different experience during peak season. All in all, I definitely liked Silverado and would go back; however, now that I've been on the tour and done a reserved tasting, I'd opt next time for just a walk in. However, great to splurge on, especially for us big Disney fans!

Came here unplanned due to our cancelled reservations from Stag's Leap Wine cellar. The view is amazing, overlooking the vineyards. If it didn't rain on Black Friday, the view would have been more amazing especially with the fall colors. This winery is part of the Stag's Leap district. We tried a few of their Cabs and Chardonnay. I don't remember exactly what we tried that but we liked a few of the Reds and one of the whites. This is a winery I'd visit again. Ambiance is cozy, homey and chill. They have two different tastings, one is mostly reds for $45 and the other flight is $40 - we tried both.

We came for a members tasting and had a beautiful view from the top of the back patio. We were able to try all that we requested and the setup was very nice (and safe). Can't wait to go back.

Kelly the assistant manager RUINS this place. We have been members for four years and we're done. We love Frank and Beverly, they are fantastic. However, management doesn't care AT ALL about you. (Also.....$25 to 'taste' solo, no samplings allowed) We watched other members ask if they could just "view" the members area (there was an event later on) their server said yes. As they took two steps up, Kelly ran after them, literally screaming like a Chihuahua, making a massive seen that they were up there. No....there was nothing happening. The comical part is the member was so embarrassed he is cancelling (he did it already via phone) Also, don't expect them to say "thanks for being a member" or even remember that you are a member despite sustaining them during covid....they could care less. I will say, on a very positive note..... We were stopping by on our way up from LA and they did an amazing job of accommodating our time frame (we had to postpone by an hour). We did appreciate Katie taking care of us.....again, it's Kelly ruining this place. We asked for our allocation 2 days early and they said no, it's not there....were going to charge you the $20 for shipping. Also, we asked for an add on of 4 wines equalling about $400-$500 and they could care less. So, we're leaving with nothing and cancelling. There are WAY too many options to care for some place that doesn't care about us. Good luck All of our friends have given up on Napa and moved on to Healdsburg, we were the standouts....guess we're driving on over! Pros: View Some wine Cons: Kelly Kelly and........ Kelly

We signed up for a private tasting/vineyard tour which was well-worth the time and money. We arrived a few minutes early and checked out the tasting room and out door patio/garden. As we were taking some photos our guide Scot introduced himself, took some photos for us, and then poured a tasty Chardonnay from their property. We then hopped in his truck and took an hour tour of the entire vineyard, stopping in various places to get out and inspect the vines and sample some of the grapes for comparison purposes. He gave us a first person account of the history of Napa, as he grew up here in the wine industry, the property and the wines we would be tasting. After circling the property we pulled up under a 300 year old oak where a table, chairs and glasses were already waiting for us. He brought up some cheese and charcuterie plates sourced from the valley and dispensed our tastings. Scot poured 5 of their excellent wines and we all pretty much agreed the 2013 Stag's was the best. Rich, deep, jammy and delicious, it's everything that wines from this terroir should express. We then headed back up to the main tasting room to sample a few more wines and place our orders. I was pleasantly surprised to see them offering a special on all large format sizes that were only 30% above the price of a 750 so I stocked up on some magnums. We certainly appreciated the tour and the wines. I would certainly come back.

My husband and I had the best time visiting Silverado Vineyards. From the moment we arrived, we could tell great care was taken to make our experience special and comfortable. I don't recall the front desk lady's name, but she was great and made us feel welcome immediately. We were offered complimentary hand sanitizers and a "welcome splash" of rosè since we were early. Such nice touches. Our host, Leslie, then greeted us. Her candor and friendly demeanor made the experience approachable and relaxing. She encouraged us to ask questions and look around. We are big Disney fans and she shared some fun facts about the property and family history, which we really enjoyed. I'm not sure if it's still COVID protocols or what, but we were one of the only groups there. I was surprised! It was nice and quiet compared to the next place we went. It's such a beautiful place and so well taken care of. You can feel the Disney/Miller family touch! I can't wait to return!

I did not want to write this Yelp review. I emailed Silverado 48 hours ago separately about our experience and received no response. My husband and I left our tasting extremely unsatisfied. We paid for a romantic sunset experience for our wedding anniversary and received the complete opposite. The table to our left projectile vomited at the table, all over his tasting glass, then eventually in the vineyard-provided complimentary popcorn bag. The table to our right was playing music and had their own personal concert. Not only was the table to the left absolutely disgusting, but then he continued to be served alcohol instead of asked to leave or given more water. We have visited many times and will not order again, and do not plan to visit again. In addition, there were many times we were just sitting at the table with an empty glass for 10 minutes. An empty glass is not an issue. The issue is that the table next to us was still served alcohol after someone got sick at the table (literally at the table and visibly sick). Employees should be empowered by management to not serve customers alcohol who get sick... at a table... especially during a global pandemic. Should I be concerned that someone sitting near us was sick with COVID or just that they were over served then continued to be served if they had alcohol poisoning? We are in a pandemic with everyone on edge... and a person got sick at a table next to us and the person was able to continue to sit (and drink wine) at the table. It is not okay and not safe for customers. Lastly, we told our pourer that we live in Washington, DC and the first thing he asked was if we went to the January 6th, 2021 Capitol Insurrection. This comment was absolutely inappropriate and it's sad this is the last thing I'm commenting on versus the first. Unfortunately, Silverado lost our business today and we will no longer be customers of Silverado, which is heartbreaking because we do enjoy the wine. I would post a photo, but I don't think anyone wants to see what we saw during what should have been a romantic sunset tasting.

We had such a great time at Silverado and brought some very special bottles home to cellar. It was empty when we arrived (a great thing, not bad) but we went during the off season so you can't expect that at all times. Atmosphere/View - 5 stars Price - 3.5 stars Wine - 5 stars Service - 5 stars

One of our favorites that we are adding to our "must recommends". The views were stunning, the outdoor seating is gorgeous and the wine is so great. Marco was incredible - his knowledge and his humor added so much more to the experience. Marco is also an amazing photographer - 10/10 recommend asking for him as your guide!!

On our first stop of the day from the Napa Valley Wine Train, we came to Silverado and it was a beautiful start. The views from the patio that overview their vineyards were beautiful. I was especially excited for this winery when I learned it was part of the Disney family. We were greeted by Patricia and Kelsey when we arrived. Patricia was very enthusiastic and passionate about the winery. We learned about the history of the vineyard and how Lillian Disney came about to building and establishing herself in Napa. It was very interesting and cool to see all of the artwork throughout the place. The vineyards themselves is interesting because they're shared with Stag's Leap Wine Cellar which also differentiates the varietals they make. Once the tour was over and we were up for the tasting, I am a fan of their malbec and red blend. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and enjoyed our visit here. Would definitely come back!

We had an excellent experience! Adam was a wonderful host! He was knowledgeable and amusing. He made our visit very special! We had a great tasting with some extra special additions. We left with the membership and wine to take away! We will open our bottles with joy, fond memories, and anticipation of wonderful new experience! Thank you! We will absolutely be back

Guess they sold recently and it shows. We have had numerous events at the winery and it was great in the past. But now they don't return calls or emails. Customer service is one of those things that is priceless. Hope you're paying attention Silverado. We decided we didn't want to belong to a wine club that doesn't value their customers so we cancelled out membership today.

Very enjoyable selection of wines and beautiful scenery. Great conversation with sommelier. Such a nice relaxing location to just hang out at for a couple hours.

Understated elegance in gorgeous surroundings, the Silverado might just be my new favorite place in #Napa. Friendly service in the tasting room without any pushy vibe. It really just feels like a bunch of friends sipping and swirling some of the most palate pleasing wine in the world. The patio affords stunning views of the rolling hills and rows of vines bursting with fruit. The VIP patio is even more beautiful. Had a lovely glass of rosé to keep the wine country heat at bay. This will be one of my stops on the Silverado trail each and every time!

It took us 15 minutes to get acknowledged by anyone, even though we had a reservation. When we finally got seated for a tasting, it was another 15 or 20 minutes before we were served. Mind you, we were the only ones in the room. We could hear the staff in a back room marked "staff only", but no visible staff in the room we were in. After about 45 minutes, we finally got wine and not being new to wine tasting, the wine we got was not good until the last glass. It would be considered a nice restaurant house wine. The group I was with has never left a winery with no wine in hand. We will not be returning.

07.22.2016 Kristina was knowledgeable and patient with us wine tasting virgins. Delicious blends of grapes from their various vineyards created well-blended tastes. The Rosato is one of my favorites, light like a "sit on the porch in the summer and relax" drink. I think it would make a wonderful sangria! We left with three bottles of the Rosato! I think we will be back for more of those. Did you know this vineyard is owned by Walt Disney's oldest biological child and her husband--Diane Disney Miller? We saw an original signed Norman Rockwell poster to Walt Disney.

Absolutely beautiful patio to taste your wine and enjoy the views. It's a hidden gem. Went on a Saturday, hardly anyone there. Friendly team members ready to serve you. My only con...the costs If you buy TWO bottles, one wine tasting is free. TWO $50 bottles adds up plus $40 wine tasting fee; one ends up being free. We walked out spending $150. That's just too much money compared to other wineries.

We were super late to our appointment and they gave us the courtesy of sitting us, with a beautiful view of the valley. Jess was our consultant and we had wonderful conversations about the wines, Disney/Miller family, the road to entering wine industry, and just overall personal stories. We also came when it was a little rainy, but the experience was even better because the hills looked amazing. The petit verdot was definitely our favorite, and we can't wait to come back next year. Cheers to Jess!

One of the best wine tasting experiences we've had in Napa Valley, again! This gorgeous winery maintains the "family-owned", "we genuinely care about our guests" vibe that more and more of the corporate-owned wineries in the Valley are losing. Our host Skip rolled out the red carpet for us and genuinely took an interest in who we are and what we are about. We highly recommend Silverado Vineyards!

Kyle from Clos Du Val recommended that we come here for their fabulous views. And boy, was he right! Set up on a hill, their views were spectacular and the wine was great as well! Ray poured our tastings and we quickly learned that he had lived in Scottsdale a few years back. We love meeting fellow Zonies! He took amazing care of us and even gave us a private tour of their barrel room. What a fun surprise! The best part, when I checked in on Yelp, we qualified for a *free* beautiful coffee table book displaying fine wineries in the Napa and Sonoma regions. We will be back next time! Thank you for taking such great care of us, Ray!

Despite living in the bay, I'm admittedly not deep into wine culture and generally find most tastings to be the same. Silverado, however, distinguished itself from the pack. Firstly, we came for my friends birthday and upon being seated, we found on the table a lovely personalized 'menu' with her name printed on top. She didn't request this - it was a touch Silverado thought to add on their own. Instantly the visit felt special. From there on, the service continued to impress us. Next, our tasting guide was SO lovable - throughout the afternoon she regaled us with stories about everything under the sun. We talked about love, life, happiness, and even politics, lol! It felt like we were hanging out with a best friend. She had no reserve/formality about her role. Thirdly, the view is phenomenal. The tasting house is perched on a hill which overlooks the vineyard and that is precisely where our tasting took place. Our guide topped us off with some extra dessert wines that weren't on the menu, as an added bonus. She gave my friend and I a tour of the facility simply because we asked. We paid $60 but competing vineyards charged $80 for similar tastings. This is an absolutely stunning space to throw an event. There are several intimate indoor/outdoor areas that could accommodate large parties. If I ever need to plan something of this sort in the future, Silverado will be the first place I look to.

The main reason we decided to come here is that we heard that this was owned by the Disney family. Me, being a huge Disney fan decided to give this place a shot. I had been to the Lassester Winery and that one was able to give you a touch of personal magic. This location didn't quite reach the same heights. It's a a great location atop a nice little hill with great views. So if wine and views are your thing then this is the place to go. The wines were pretty average and didn't really make me want to fly or soar or go on any kind of adventure. Not bad, but nothing great. They have a huge staff and they were very friendly, but a huge portion of the estate is cut off only for members. Not much in Disney related things either. Not a bad winery per say, but not magical either. Still, I'd advise going here at least once, but for true Disney lovers, head over to the Lassester winery.

Beautiful Winery Atop A Small (Sorceror's Apprentice) Mountain [Note: Fantasia-like Centaurs & Hippos won't be found on premises] ;) SITREP Okay. Not really a (Soceror's Apprentice) Mountain, but a cute largish hill on the Silverado Trail side of the Napa Valley. In fact, the winery name is "Silverado" as if some magic pixie dust from the Silverado Trail itself will sprinkle it's good will onto the winery and it's patrons. And why shouldn't it be magical? This winery is colloquially known as the "Disney" Winery because it is owned by the Disney Family. [Though I don't recall ever seeing my favorite animated mouse drinking a glass of wine.... hmmm.] THE SETUP The winery is a beautiful structure, smooth rocks and colorful hues, with elegant decor and one of the most awesome open-window views of the Napa Valley. It is just a delight to grab a glass of wine, traipse to the wall of the patio, and enjoy a gorgeous view overlooking the Silverado Trail side of Napa Valley. THE WINE When I'm looking at the cost per bottle of wine at other estates (admittedly fantastic wineries, but) for over $200, that's just not accessible to ME (if anything, Trader Joe's has spoiled me on it's Two-Buck-Chuck). But Silverado has at least a couple wines that ARE accessible: * Their delicious 2009 Mt. George Merlot for $35 (sometimes less per bottle when purchased in volume with friends or they are running a special promotion), and so for me this is that "special bottle" purchase that I can take home today from Napa Valley and feel like I got something worthwhile on my wine-tasting trip. * And along these lines, their 2009 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is another fine bottle if your taste in reds goes towards a bit more full-bodied, and richer in tannins (which mine tastes don't). ESTATE BLENDING One of the best educations I've ever received in "wine estate blending" came from the wine ambassador George at this winery. He took time to explain to me how not only are the varietals different, but the same varietal from different estates can express some different notes on tasting. For example, on my bottle of 2009 Mt. George Merlot, the wine not only represented a 95% blend Merlot contribution from the Mt. George estate, but also a 5% blend Merlot contribution from the Stags Leap estate. There is something about the blending process that helps tone down some of the more erratic notes of each single location varietal. And I have absolutely loved Silverado Vineyards since because of their wonderful education for me in the world of vintology. HOLIDAY MAGIC Each season at Silverado Vineyards (and I've been lucky to have visited during the 3 distinct seasons of Spring, Summer and Autumn) is it's own special occasion to see Holiday decor and enjoy a different aspect of the wine-making process. THE LOWDOWN One of my favorite wineries on the Silverado Trail in Napa Valley.

Driving up the winding road that led to the winery, we were able to admire the landscape of Napa Valley. Great view from the patio too. The atmosphere inside was lively and casual. It almost felt like a tourist stop. Servers were friendly, but they were spread thin. The tasting bar was small and crowded. At least they let us wander around with our tasting glasses. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy our estate tasting. The sauvignon blanc, sangiovese, merlot and cabernet sauvignon were all blends of different wines. They were all lacking in body and flavor.

Erika Carter was so unnecessarily rude to us. We are a nice crew and very kind people- and they were immediately unwelcoming to an amazing degree. Also, the wine is better at many other wineries in the area. We won't be back.

Beautiful wines, gorgeous views of the valley. A happening place on a Sunday evening - Katie did a wonderful job keeping up with lots of guests and smiled through it all! I liked the Sangiovese better than expected - a nice break from the norm. Dry and delightful.

Good wine and nice view, nice service. Had a great time until we ran into the manager on the way out, very rudely told us to leave the property right after our tasting ended. Soured the end of the experience sadly.

Next Mongo and Mrs. Mongo go to Silverado Vineyards. Very pretty building with nice paintings and many, many, many, many barrels. And very, very, very bee-u-tea-full view of valley. Mongo and Mrs. Mongo stay for long time on back patio drinking many, many Yummy! wines. And Mongo give two opposable thumbs up to Mt. George Malbec and Stags Leap District Merlot and Solo Cabernet Sauvignon. Yummy! Oh! And everybody nice to Mongo.

Skip was wonderful! Gave us a private tour of the place which was cool. The winery was busy, but he took the time to take us which was very much appreciated. I ended up buying two bottles of their sangiovese for $30/each...it was cheaper than paying for 1 bottle then the tasting fee ($40)...if you buy 2 bottles the tasting fee gets knocked out! Their property is beautiful and the staff was very friendly. Be on the lookout for fun Disney stuff ;)

Just left Silverado! What a great experience! If you visit ask for Scott Flotre for your tasting experience. He has knowledge of the region dating back to the early 70s when there were less than 30 wineries. He's an original wine gangsta! Great history here involving the Disney family but more important really good wines! We left with a bottle of Solo, Fantasia and a Chardonnay. The views are amazing here as well! They are elevated and have a patio that has a valley view to the north. Do not pass this one up on your wine exploits!

I finally got a chance to visit this winery and I have somewhat mixed feelings on it. I'm rating it somewhere between a 3.5 and 4 but bumping up to 4 for the incredible views. Let's start with the positives - The entrance to the building was GORGEOUS and grand. We definitely snapped a few pictures before walking in. The inside was pretty spacious with several couches (and abundance of pillows) to lounge on. There were several staff members to attend to guests. What is amazing about this winery is the outdoor patio! It's really peaceful with a wonderful view of valley. It was quite busy when we visited but didn't deter way from the overall ambiance. I'm sad that it wasn't as clear in the distance as it could've been as there had just been yet another wildfire the day before in a neighboring city (seriously, this CA summer has been one constant hazy bbq!). The staff doesn't rush you to leave which was appreciated (we came late in the afternoon). They definitely allowed us lingering guests to hang out in the patio for quite awhile before they started clearing glasses and stacking chairs. Now onto what we didn't enjoy as much - We did two separate tastings both of which were...just okay. Granted we didn't splurge for the more reserved wines but for two tastings (one red and one summer) it came out to $70. The staffer encouraged us to purchase two bottles to waive one of the tastings which we were reluctant to but did in the end. Our total now came out to about $100. Side note: We have since consumed both bottles of Rose we purchased and chuckled when the wine bottle didn't even have a cork. I don't think we've EVER purchased wine at a winery that wasn't corked - strange. Overall we weren't very impressed with the wine offerings - it could've been those particular ones we tried but out of the bunch we enjoyed maybe only two. Also, this might have been our own fault for not making a reservation but our server wasn't very informative and didn't ask if it was our first visit. I learned after the fact on the internet that this is considered the "Disney" winery and I would have LOVED to hear more about the history. The winery was actually founded by Walt Disney's daughter and son-in-law. I knew there was some connection to Disney with the flyers for the Walt Disney Museum on the counter and Ratatouille poster in the hallway. Would I return to this winery on a future Napa adventure? Possibly - it definitely is worth it for the incredible views. The taste of wine is subjective and based on some of these other reviews - some love it! I say taste it for yourself and see but expect to spend a bit of $$$.

Frustrating. The 4 of us were obviously profiled. We were younger than most other customers and had an accent. They poured so little wine for our tasting, it was a joke!! I've been going to vineyards for years and this is the smallest tasting dosage by far. At some point I was standing next to some older guy and I noticed his glass had way more wine in it. Do you only have to be white and over 50 to be served fairly?

Our favorite winery we went to! Scott was so fun and we had the most wonderful time. The wine was great and highly recommend doing the tour at Silverado. Beautiful vineyards, informative staff, and personal touches. Can't wait to visit again!

Great tasting experience today! My wife and I enjoyed their wines and the staff was very friendly. They have a pleasant tasting room with a remarkable view of the valley below.

When planning my best friend's bachelorette, I knew 100% I had to take the girls to Silverado Vineyards for the views and wine. On the day we went to Silverado, it was incredibly windy so everyone else was seated inside, so we had the whole outdoor patio to ourself! It was fantastic. Our server also let us go sit on the upstairs patio in the VIP area so we had the best views to go along with some great wine. I opted for the Premier Flight while the rest of the party went with the Taste of Silverado Flight. My favorite from my flight was the Solo Cabernet Sauvignon. It was definitely the best tasting. Silverado is one of my favorite wineries and I'll always bring newcomers here with each Napa visit.
