Tres Sabores

This was my favorite tasting in the area - the wines are all organic, the vineyard is woman-owned and has an incredible history, and the experience is relaxed, quiet, and the perfect way to spend a summer afternoon. We loved our host, who was happy to answer all of our beginner questions about the region and the vineyard, encouraged us to try some grapes from the vine…and the golden retriever Cava is a star as well. Highly recommend if you’re wanting to try a smaller spot - it’s absolutely worth the visit.

This is one of my all time favorite wineries. The wine is excellent. Also, the setting has beautiful views of the grape vines, and in the back of the property, colorful flowers everywhere with some farm animals in the barn. The staff and owner is especially kind, knowledgeable, and fun.

We loved this winery and wine tasting. It’s a gorgeous property with a wonderful history. We love the organic approach. Jim did a wonderful job hosting us. Very reasonable prices. We ordered 12 bottles to ship Home. We highly recommend this winery and wine.

I donated my time at Tres Sabores taking drone shots at a fundraising event last month and got to know the grounds really well. It’s a lovely, quaint winery tucked off of the main road, surrounded by the Valley mountains and vineyards. It was a wonderful place for a large event. I also got to chat with the owner’s husband who was absolutely delightful and provided some fascinating history behind the winery and grounds. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Trea Sabores, oh, and their wine is noteworthy too!

A nice hidden gem. Not a lot of seating and a smidge out of the way, but that didn’t stop us from signing up! We loved the wines and stories behind them, the team, and even the label designs. The lamb onsite are fun and the food was simple but good.

This was an amazing vineyard and winery. It’s tucked away from the highway so offers some incredible views and tranquility. The wine is delicious and the staff take their time explaining each glass and the unique story that goes into each wine. They are all very kid friendly and welcomed my toddler to walk around the property (supervised) to visit the animals. We went right after harvest so were even able to chat with one of the wine makers about the process as he worked crushing the grapes. You can tell everyone there is passionate about that they do and you can taste that love in their product. Julie, the owner, is warm and hospitable and has created such an amazing place and business. We wish we lived closer so we could visit more often! This will definitely be on our must visit list for our next Napa trip!

A small family style vineyard, with just 8 staff members. This place feels like somewhere out of a movie. It’s beautiful and the staff is so easy to talk to and ask questions. Great flavors!

Mary Beth was such an incredible host and she made sure our large group was well taken care of! We sipped multiple wines throughout the tour and ended with a beautiful picnic in the olive grove. Anthony and the rest of the staff were so helpful and accommodating as well. We will absolutely be back to this amazing winery!

We came here while in Napa for a birthday celebration. The service, location and wine were all excellent. Not only do they allow kids, they welcome them with bubbles, coloring and a trip to feed the goats and sheep. They went above and beyond with special touches like blankets and a cupcake for the birthday girl.

Tres Sabores Winery is a must-visit, especially if you're all about discovering something new and unique. It's a female-owned winery, which makes the whole experience feel even more special. They're known for their Porque No wine, which is definitely worth the hype. It's got a bold, distinctive flavor that sets it apart from a lot of the usual offerings in the area. What I love about Tres Sabores is that they're not afraid to experiment. I'm all for trying new things when it means discovering a new flavor profile or just a wine that surprises you in the best way. This place nails it with that spirit of innovation while keeping it super approachable. If you're into great wines and a vibe that feels both personal and innovative, Tres Sabores is the spot. You'll walk away with something new to talk about--and probably a few bottles to take home!

Small Flavor Founded in 1999, Tres Sabores is proud to be one of the smallest producers in Napa Valley, focusing more on quality than quantity. We booked a tasting on the recommendation of Yelp and IG bud Katie R, as we're not that savvy when it comes to fermented grapes but figured since we're in Napa might as well do as the masses do. The Good: *The tasting was very causal and lots of good info about the grapes, wines, and the wine-makers. *Wine club that includes free tastings, invitations to special events, discounts, and more. *Dog and kid-friendly *Grounds are gorgeous, and I'd live to visit again in the spring. *All wines are certified organic *Generous pours at the tasting *Their Extra Virgin Olive Oil is excellent and worthy of a purchase. *Tasting fee is $60/per (starting June 1, '23), but the tasting fee is waived with the purchase of four bottles (per person). *They also give you a tour of the farm, which was a big plus for us when booking. *Nice, quality snackies to much on in-between tastings. You can bring a picnic lunch with you for no additional fee. *No charge for designated drivers and kids. The Meh: *Reservations required (max 8) The Ugly: *Make you put down a credit card on file before your arrival. I'm not sure why this irked me, but it kinda did. I guess they have a lot of no-shows, but still... TLDR: One-of-a-kind personal wine tasting experience in a gorgeous setting. Highly recommended even for non-wine lovers such as ourselves.

A nice hidden gem. Not a lot of seating and a little out of the way, but that didn't stop us from signing up! We loved the wines and stories behind them, the team, and even the label designs. The lamb onsite are fun and the food was simple but good.

This will now be our go-to when we visit wine country. Everything was so lovely - the staff, the co-owner (and his dog!), and of course - the WINE! Usually when I go wine tasting there is at least one wine that I am not a fan of, but I enjoyed all of them here. We came home with many bottles that I am very much looking forward to drinking. We visited when it was SUPER hot, but luckily they had a room with A/C that we could do the tasting in (and I brought an ice chest to keep any wines cool on the way home!). Our server was super knowledgeable and made it a very enjoyable experience. They even gave us a nice surprise for our anniversary. I cannot wait to come back again and again!

Amazing experience here at Tres Sabores. So intimate, classy and beautiful. It was pouring rain the day that we went, but it was still phenomenal. The wines are absolutely delicious, unique and each one has its own story. We met the owner, Julie, who treated us like old friends. We brought our children, and they provided juice and coloring pages. Their dog, Cava, entertained my kids the whole time. Also, the kids loved going to see the goats and chickens. We ordered cheese plates and they were absolutely amazing. This is truly a hidden gem in Napa if you're looking to support small business.

Wow, such a hidden gem! Came here for a tasting on a Sunday thanks to my friend who is a member of Tres Sabores. It's one of the few wineries that is family owned, women-owned, and non-corporate in the Napa Valley. I was blown away by how gorgeous the vineyard grounds were and loved the intimate tasting experience. It was picture perfect in every corner and definitely felt like heaven on earth. I can totally sit there all day! We were able to try their rose, signature red blend, and cab. Loved the wines and also chatting with the owner and winemaker Julie. Can't wait to come back and bring my parents along!!

I had such a fantastic experience here. They offer pet/dog friendly tastings outdoors right next to the vineyard so you can sip your wine overlooking the vast grounds. The tasting itself felt very personal with extremely knowledgeable staff. Pacing was great. I enjoyed the glasses at my leisure. I got to sample a huge array of different wines and they were all DELICIOUS. So much so I left with 1.5 cases including a bottle of olive oil from the olive trees they grow. Bonus, it's all organic farming!

One of the few vineyards in Napa where my wife and I enjoyed every wine from the tasting. Service was exceptional and gave us a very down to earth history behind the wines and the vineyard's history. Unlike some of the other places we've visited, Tres Sabores is very relaxed and off the beaten path - the ambiance is peaceful and you aren't rushed through the tasting. Particular highlights are the ¿Por que no? and the Thinking Cap white blend. Will definitely make this a priority on a future visit to Napa.

Friendly friendly people. Easy to book and reserve through website request and phone call. Loved this women owned and run winery, especially how they have dogs around and allow dogs. My dog had a blast while the adults had some fun. Easy to follow instructions. Very limited dirt road parking but they even put signage to show you where to turn around to park/get out nicely. Wine tasting was nice and they included some light snacks- almonds, crackers and fresh pomegranates. Feel free to bring your own snacks and napkins too! Def plan to be back and add more wine stops!

Loved our tasting here! Tres Sabores was our first stop of the day on Sunday, and we were immediately greeted by Carrie, who was very sweet/knowledgable. She took us over to a large outdoor table, with pretty flowers, a view of the vineyard, and a cute little personalized sign (for my birthday). I loved learning about the history of the winery (woman owned & operated!) and all the wines we tried were fantastic. Carrie also brought out a few meat/cheese boards for us - one for white wine pairings, and two for the reds. I didn't try the meats but both cheeses were SO delicious, especially the goat cheese. There were also some lighter snacks, like nuts and crackers, and she even gave me a birthday (carrot cake) cupcake with a candle - adorable! After the tasting, we stuck around for a little while to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. Enjoyed every minute!

If your looking for a local, non commercial winery this is it! Small winery with a very personal atmosphere. Our server Jimmy was informative and friendly. Julie the owner of the winery was on property and joined us for a few, she was a delight. The views were amazing an outside tasting on the vineyard and we even packed lunch to picnic. This is a winery you want to come back to and bring friends and family to experience. It's truly special.

Enjoyed a lovely tasting experience here. The tables were set up with plenty of shade and a nice vineyard view, some crackers and nuts to snack on were brought out moments after we were sat, and the music was fun, giving the place a great vibe. The tasting room associates were very knowledgeable about the wines and the winemaker herself even poured us some. The pours were the perfect size, gave you the ability to really get a nice taste and determine the structure of the wine. The wines were delectable. Though I don't usually drink white wines, the white wines were just as good as the reds were. It was difficult deciding which ones to go home with, and if I lived closer I actually would've considered becoming a club member. Wines were also very reasonably priced, especially for Napa. Overall a great experience, I would recommend this winery and I would come back. Tasting was a bit expensive, but can be waived with the purchase of some bottles. Parking was also a little confusing because you come in on a narrow road and are then greeted by a no parking sign, but you just turn around and park along the road.

Absolutely ADORABLE winery where the personal touch is super evident. Julie - owner extraordinaire and super personable and is just a gem. Sheep and dogs and wonderful wine and service make this a must stop!! Ambiance is peace, calm and beauty. No food was purchased,but Julie gave us great recommendations for nearby restaurants.

The cheese plate was very good and fresh. Our guide did not tell us much and didn't seem to really want to be talking with us. The wine was just tasted fair. I learned that with organic wineries they don't usually make the wine there - the grapes get sent out to be combined with other farms and the wine gets made elsewhere. That was disappointing. There were some cute baby goats by the side of the parking area.

WARNING IF CONSIDERING BRINGING YOUR DOG AND/OR CHILD(REN) TO TRES SABORES Yesterday, we tasted at Tres Sabores, bringing our 4.5 month old golden retriever puppy, Cody. Of course, Cody was on-leash and supervised during the entire time of our stay. During our tasting, we toured the garden and saw the lambs, and on our way back to the grove where we were tasting, we ran into 3x Tres employees and an unleashed black lab. We asked if the dog was friendly and if Cody could say hello. They said yes, and we let Cody do his usual dog sniffs and tail wags to greet the black lab. About a second after Cody was greeting, the lab showed his teeth and we immediately jerked Cody away, realizing the dog was aggressive. The lab (who is full grown and about 70+ pounds compared to our 30 pound pup) pounced on Cody, bit him, and pinned him to the ground. Cody's dad had to pull the lab off of Cody by the collar, while the 3x Tres employees, one of which we were later made aware was the lab's owner, stood by and did absolutely nothing. Cody was immediately drenched in his own blood and crying like we've never heard before. We immediately removed Cody from the situation and ran back to our picnic table, preparing to rush him to the vet for stitches. The rest of our party who heard Cody's cries came running over, and when they asked the Tres employees (who were still just standing there) if everything was okay, they were told everything was fine. Back at the picnic table, another Tres employee came up to us while Cody was gushing blood and asked if we were okay. Clearly not okay, we had to ask her for paper towels, soap and water, as well as the lab's owner. The lack of empathy and sense of urgency was heart breaking. The owner(s) of the dog (the associate wine maker as well as the owner of the winery separately claimed to be the owner of the dog, so it was unclear and ambiguous) finally did cone out and apologize. While I hope it was sincere, the owner of the winery / alleged co-owner of the lab, Jon, continued to make light of the situation, asking us small-talk questions like where we got Cody while we were focused on cleaning his wounds. He also said "I certainly hope this doesn't happen again.", which is absolutely irresponsible as a business owner. You should ENSURE this doesn't happen again by taking the proper and responsible precautions. While dogs are ultimately wild animals and out-of-character attacks can happen, the blatant negligence, irresponsibility, and lack of compassion is what is most upsetting. As a business, you have a responsibility to ensure the safety of your guest to the best of your ability and that is not what the team at Tres Sabores is currently upholding. As both a a business and dog owner, it is your responsibility to keep your dogs supervised and leashed to ensure safety to the best of your ability. While this situation was extremely traumatic, we can only imagine how much worse it would have been if the victim was a child. While we ultimately have no control over the actions Tres Sabores will take, we hope this helps make our community aware in the hopes that this never happens to others. -Cody's mom and dad

I really enjoyed touring the property and learning about the wine making process on a smaller scale than the other major wine makers in the area. It's a small family farm with fruit trees and my friend and i were the only people on the very personal tour! I would recommend this vineyard and winery to anyone!

We loved Tres Sabores - especially my energetic Labrador. It's a small vineyard but had an outdoor/indoor tasting room as well as picnic tables for large parries. We came when it wasn't too crowded and it was just us and a large party outside. We were immediately greeted by the golden retrievers as well as a couple dogs of the employees. They were very excited and curious to see our buddy. They're nice enough to allow dogs inside the tasting room - though be careful as our dog loves to play with theirs! We did the tasting and loved how it came paired with an assortment of small bites - cheese, charcuterie and chocolate - all included with the tasting! We liked the place and the wines so much that we signed up for the membership club. It's a really nice vineyard tucked away from the busier side of Napa but it was perfect for us. Super dog friendly so would recommend highly if you like to travel with one.

I cannot say enough great things about Tres Sabores Winery! Let's start with the property: Settled in the foothills of the Mayacamas, this place is picturesque. It is exactly what you look for in a boutique winery; from the tasting patio to the crush pad out back. The gardens and vineyards are immaculately maintained and best yet, all certified organic. The Wine: When I say we loved every wine, I mean we LOVED every wine. They are crafted so beautifully and none overdone in the "overripe" style many Napa producers are known to do. The rosé was delightful, our host snagged us a taste off the bottling line of the St. Laurent wine (so cool) which was an immediate crowd pleaser, and the Perspective Cabernet... Holy cannoli... that wine is some of the best Cabernet made in the Napa Valley. Lastly and greatly, the People: So many wineries in the Valley have great wine and beautiful scenery but so few have the best people to match. Tres Sabores has, hands down, some of the greatest people. Jimmy was our spectacular host. He explained the story of the property so clearly and the wines so beautifully and elegantly, we were lucky to have him. We also met Julie (the owner) and John, both were so welcoming and took the time to chat with us about the winery. In all, effortlessly gorgeous and a great representation of quintessential Napa. Great people making great wine. We left feeling like part of the family, thanks Tres Sabores!

My group came on a Friday evening for our final tasting of the day and I was really looking forward to our visit based on all of the amazing reviews. Unfortunately our experience did not live up to our expectations to say the least. We had the pleasure of visiting two incredible wineries prior to our visit at Tres Sabores and I was absolutely astonished by how poor the service was relative to the other places we had visited. Our server rarely came by and whenever she finally did come to our table, she seemed completely disinterested in our experience and rushed through each tasting. We waited so long in between tastings that I eventually had to go find her twice to let her know that we were unhappy with the service we were receiving and she still refused to come over to our table. We were in Napa for a special occasion to celebrate a friend, and to end our day with such a terrible experience was a huge letdown for all of us. If you're planning a trip to Napa and want to see the best that it has to offer, I would highly recommend against visiting Tres Sabores.

A little piece of Heaven tucked away in the St. Helena Hills! I had the pleasure of visiting this winery with my friends who are members, and we seriously had an incredible time here. Tres Sabores is a female owned winery that specializes in both red and white wine production. They are by appointment only, which allows for the most intimate and enjoyable wine tasting experience. The grounds are gorgeous! You will find the most vibrant greenery located throughout their estate, and the views will make you never want to leave. It's quaint, it's cozy, and it's extremely relaxing. The hosts are some of the most gracious that I've met, and their passion exudes with each and every wine pour. Speaking of wine, I guarantee that you will love it! You will be treated to a seated tasting of some of their most finest selections. I fell in love with the floral notes of their 2014 Rutherford Perspective Zinfandel! They also provided us with some yummy pistachios to snack on and conducted a delicious wine and brownie pairing! Talk about scrumptious! I can never say no to chocolate... never, neverrr. If you're a dog lover then you'll go head over heels for Tres Sabores. Not only are they dog friendly, but they have several sweet doggies of their own that happily roam the premises. Their beautiful dogs will greet you as you enter and keep you entertained during your tasting. They have a few different tasting areas throughout the premises. You can choose to enjoy a seated tasting in their barrel room, or you can lounge outdoors and sip on your wine while taking in the beautiful views of Rutherford Valley. Moriah was such a fun and informative host! A very memorable experience indeed. If you're looking for an intimate and relaxing experience paired with delicious wines and the friendliest dogs, add Tres Sabores to your list of must try wineries!

Por Que No? Wine Not Total hidden gem of a winery located in the heart of Napa Valley, female-owned, charming hillside with sprawling vineyards on this private estate ~ what's not to love? It's definitely worth a stop, make an appointment first. I first had the opportunity to meet winemaker Julie Johnson via Verve tour. It was love at first sight and knew I had to come back with friends and hubby to explore more of what this magical place has to offer. Surrounded by beautiful oak trees, it's the perfect destination to have a quiet, scenic picnic lunch. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tres-sabores-winery-saint-helena?select=TzCqjTBwWiRczyB7E5YiNg https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tres-sabores-winery-saint-helena?select=qXCy-ItsC5ly4yV8xdC75w https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tres-sabores-winery-saint-helena?select=xNTqWDvc48IjvZRjZD0djQ Winemaker and proprietor Julie Johnson is an extraordinary woman in a male-dominated industry. She empowers other women entrepreneurs to become great leaders like herself. Her organic wines are dynamic, and knowing that she was one of the founders of Frog's Leap Winery 30+ years ago, the first organic winery in the valley makes her a remarkable individual. She'll show you a fun trick on cracking open pomegranates. The dogs steal the show here; they're the welcoming committee. Not a pretentious winery at all. Highly recommend joining their wine club, as the price points are low for such great quality wines made with love. WINE NOT! 'Til next time ~ cheers!

Sweet people, beautiful setting in the garden overlooking the vineyard, and good wine. Love that it's a women-run business.

I LOVE this winery!!! Owner Julie is amazing. All of the staff are terrific. I've been hosted several times by Jimmy who is fantastic. He's so knowledgeable and accommodating, and always provides an excellent experience.

This place was my favorite that we tasted at! The ambiance was rustic and gorgeous, they were very accommodating for our large group, our server was lovely and knowledgeable and the wines were great. A perfect place and a must see! Plus there's sheep!

The girls were soo nice here and very helpful. The winery is beautiful and adds a great aesthetic to the environment. The wine menu itself was pretty good too, I enjoyed the first white wine we had. There are also animals to visit on the property and pomegranate trees to pick from! Very hip and relaxing spot.

Wow I can't say enough great things about Tres Sabores! Amazing wine, beautiful views, but most importantly, special shout out to Carrie who was the most excellent host for our party of 7. Not only was she a terrific story teller of Tres Sabores' history, but she was so warm and friendly with us the entire time. When one person went to the bathroom, she waited and chatted with us until that person came back so they wouldn't miss out on the next wine. She found out we were there for a birthday so she showed some extra love to the birthday girl with a cupcake. She saw that I was terrified of bees, so she quickly ran and got some fly swatting fans and mint to deter the bees away from me (this is probably the most meaningful thing anyone has ever done for me. Ever!!!) It was an incredible experience all around!

What a great little hidden gem! We came here on Sunday to celebrate my birthday (a big one) and it was absolutely lovely! Upon arrival we were greeted by Carrie and the winemaker Julie. Our tasting was at an olive tree- shaded picnic table with a gorgeous view of the vineyards. The wines we sampled were unique and tasty, we each purchased several bottles. Tastings are $50 but the tasting fee is waived if you purchase 4 bottles. I love that this winery is organic and mostly dry-farmed too. To top it all off, Carrie and the staff even brought out a birthday cupcake! We all had a great afternoon and really enjoyed learning from Julie about her small batch winery. Tres Sabores had everything we were looking for - outdoor seating, casual setting, nice wine and great service. Next time we will bring a picnic!

Rare find where you want to keep it a secret and only tell your close friends about. I've been visiting Napa for over 20 years and this place reminds me of why I fell in love with Napa. It's family owned and the pride of the people who work there and the delicious wines show the love they put into it. It's not a big corporate, big Disneyland like tasting where you pay so much money for a tasting to be a number that visited that day. Tres Sabores is what Napa should be all about. Amazing people (Jim was so knowledgeable and fun! ) amazing wine and a place you want to be a part of. The grounds are beautiful and have so much to offer including goats, turkeys. And more. Definitely stop by and experience the real Napa!

Overall an ok vineyard - wines are average and overpriced I feel. The experience at the vineyard location wise is good - rustic and charming - but wines truly are much younger and less flavorful compared to other vineyards in that area. Just note that their statement about free tasting is very ambiguous and it's only one persons free tasting on the purchase - which is very odd compared to the other vineyards that we have been too...

Found it by doing a google search. The name and reviews led me to check it out. We did not have an appointment yet they were able to accommodate us for a wine tasting. Loved the grounds, history and wine. Sauvignon Blanc and "porque no"(red blend) were our favorites.

I have always absolutely loved this winery and Julie the owner and winemaker! What an incredible woman. I send people here all the time but I got to go this week with three girlfriends. It was just so awesome. Our server was Yanessa and was she ever a doll! So friendly and hospitable. She made our stay so enjoyable and took us around the little farm and boy was that fun! My girlfriends were so impressed. I was blown away by their petite Sirah and brought a bottle home. We got to see so much of winemaking in progress and Julie was right in there sorting grapes with her staff. Thank you so much, once again Tres Sabores!

We heard about Tres Sabores from several articles we found highlighting some of the unique hidden gems in the valley. So we decided to give it a try. This wasn't just a wine tasting. This was a truly unique experience that lasted a couple hours. We tasted several wines, some olive oil, toured the grounds and met the owner, Julie and her husband. I mentioned when I made the reservation that we were celebrating my girlfriend's birthday this week. When we sat down at the table to start our tasting there was a pre made card welcoming us by name and wishing my girlfriend a happy birthday. At the end of the tasting they brought out a cupcake with a candle. We are visiting several great wineries on this trip but this one truly stands out. Can't wait to get our first membership shipment. We look forward to visiting again on our next trip to the valley!!

We had an amazing time here, especially our dog Butter! We enjoyed their wine, service, beautiful views of the vineyard. It was such a relaxing time for our little family. We will definitely be back!

We have had the pleasure of experiencing this Winery before and this was our 2nd visit to this winery. We had made a reservation for tasting and to pick up our wine club shipment. We were running a little late for our tasting appointment but Moriah indicated that that would not be a problem. They graciously accommodated us. We were able to sample various vintages of their wines that are produced onsite and grown on the estate. Being one of the smaller wineries they are a great place to go and have a tasting along with a picnic lunch in their vineyards especially when the weather is warm. Since the weather was a little chilly on this visit we actually had our tasting in their wine cellar that also overlooks the vineyard. We brought a couple of friends with us and we had a great time. The winery also has a couple of dogs on the property who love to mingle with the guest and they are not shy about wanting attention. All in all a good time had by all.

A quaint, farm-style vineyard! My fiancé and I stopped by towards the end of our trip and had the most relaxing and educational experience. This is family owned and certified organic. You can tell they are passionate about what they do, and the wine is terrific. enjoyed our tasting and bought 4 bottles of wine. Highly recommend stopping by while in the valley!

Tres Sabores Winery epitomizes what a hidden gem is all about. Deeply tucked into the St. Helena hillside located right up Whitehall Lane not too far from Whitehall Lane Winery and Provenance Vineyards. I went on a lovely Sunday afternoon with my fellow Yelper Christine who was able to previously go on a more private event and she remembered how lovely she was treated with the nice tour they give each and every customer. Since it's a small private winery, you do have to call ahead for an appointment to be served but once you do an appointment is easily made, the real challenge is just getting there up their winding road. Upon arrival, tasting room associate Kathi treated us like VIPs as we sat with a few other couples in their "Happy Place" hillside overlooking their vineyards as we sipped a county of wines from their tasting menu. I especially loved their 2016 Ingrid & Julia Rose because I always love rose no matter where it comes from. As for the reds, their unique red wine blend known as the 2013 Por Que No? (Named for the concept of Should we have wine tonight, why not?) which combines Petite Syrah, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, this wine is cozy as a home cooked meal and would go great with a steak dinner. The tour is a real highlight of our experience at Tres Sabores, with Kathi leading us throughout much of their thirty-five acres of property. Although only ten are planted with vines, they are primarily known for growing their Zinfandels with roots that are thirty feet deep they can be very drought resistant, which in uneven weather that we have in the valley can only be a good thing. The even have an abundance of pomegranate trees they use to make treats like vinegar and even put into brownies for their various annual events. Tres Sabores is also smart in how they allocate their land, they farm organically, although their wines aren't organic, they even have a fertilizer factory on premises with plenty of sheep on site to assist in that. They also have guinea fowl eat the insects so we were happy with no pests as we enjoyed on time on their lookout as the sun began to set over the valley. Tres Sabors has a good thing going in the St. Helena hills. Owner Julie Johnson is one of the few female sole owners in the valley and it's a family affair when it comes to producing her unique blends like their cabs, which are bold but soft. With a lovely landscaped garden and intimate tasting room, Tres Sabors Winery epitomizes an unpretentious small winery with seriously affordable and unique fresh wines. The recent fires in the area may have come close to ravaging the entire area, but this time we were lucky that Tres Sabores was able to weather this storm. A sign from above needs to be celebrated right here on earth.

Love me some Tres Sabores wines! First of all I love that Tres Sabores is organic and is the 1st out of three organic wineries in Napa County. The bonus the owner and wine maker is a woman. Woo-hoo! I visited this winery with a few friends. The property is lovely. So much history to making the wine organic and delicious. Our host was Mary-Beth. She was a busy bee running from table to table serving tastings to customers. Each wine had a story and each wine I tasted was delicious. I loved everything we tasted. So much so I joined the winery. If you haven't been wine tasting at Tres Sabores, I highly recommend it. They have a lovely devine Petite Sirah that is fruit forward, and a smooth finished. Oh and it is dog friendly. The dogs that are there just come visit you and nug for some TLC. Love, love, love it. I cannot wait to return to taste more get a tour of the property and just sit outside looking at the beauty of Mother Nature.

Three of us visited here for my sister's birthday. We were greeted by the 3 golden retriever welcoming committee. Learned about their wine a few years back while visiting Disneyland. We learned that it's the first organic wine vineyard in this area. Also, it's female-owned with a fascinating story. Loved being able to do wine tasting during the tour, also while accompanied by the golden retrievers. Our knowledge of wine is limited but we did not feel intimidated by staff. It was very welcoming, friendly, and REAL. We will definitely visit again.

We have been members and have visited for many years. This is a truly special place and is second to none in terms of experience. Julie is the greatest host and the wines are exquisite. WE LOVE TRES SABORES!

In our quest to visit smaller wineries, our second stop in our Wine Country visit was Tres Sabores, which is a certified organic ranch and winery. Reservations are required for the 90 minutes tour and tasting experience with the first appointment starting at 10:30 and the last one at 3:00pm, which we had booked. The winery is nestled in the slopes of the Rutherford Bench which you get to by turning off St. Helena Highway to Whitehall Lane and then to S. Whitehall Lane. Away from the hustle and bustle of St. Helena Highway, the winery is very quaint, mellow and picturesque. No formal parking lot here, you just park on the side of the road. After checking in with Kathy, she began our tour for our group of eight by pouring a sauvignon blanc. Oh, the winery has three friendly Labradors that mingle with the visitors during the course of the tour. The tour takes us to their wine cave, bottle processing area, to their farm with chickens and lamb and back to a patio area next to the winery building. During the course of each tour of the tour, Kathy poured us a Rose, Zinfandel and Por Que No? Red. On our table, there were bread sticks and pistachios to enjoy as we were poured the cabernet sauvignon and then we were served a brownie to pair with our petite syrah. We also had the opportunity to talk and chat with winemaker and owner, Julie Johnson, who came around to talk to us. A nice wine tasting experience at a small, quaint winery with friendly and gracious people. If you interested in a mellower winery experience, make Tres Sabores a Napa wine tasting stop.

This is my favorite vineyard in Napa! It is a quaint, little organic winery operated by a family that owns half a dozen golden retrievers! They explain their barreling process, let you press the grapes yourself, and show you around their property. Beautiful garden, pomegranate trees, goats to eat the fallen grapes, chicken coop, and best of all, dogs running around! We had some confusion making our tasting reservation, so they gave us a complementary bottle of wine at the end of our tour. We opted for a bottle of rose and enjoyed it at the communal picnic tables outside and had a chance to play with the dogs.

We had such a lovely time tasting delicious wines at Tres Sabores. The staff was so helpful and Knowledgeable and we even got to meet the winemaker, Julie, who was so sweet! She let our little corgi run around the vineyard. We even got a visit from their sheep. Overall amazing experience.

I've grown up in wine country and have to say that the customer service at this winery was the absolute best. There is a genuine and hospital environment paired with an intimate and gorgeous ambience with a lot of beautiful plants and flowers making this wine tasting experience unique amongst the numerous wine tasting experiences in the valley. They are not only dog friendly but are really focused on providing an atmosphere ensuring your dog has a great time accompanied with treats and an adorable bandana. I highly recommend this place.

Went to 4 different wineries and this was the best of them all! Is a very small winery and that's what made it so fun.. they let us taste the grapes used to make the wine, let us have a pomegranate picked from their tree to snack on, and had the cutest dogs to welcome us. The customer service was amazing - I didn't want to leave. everything felt so welcoming. Next time I'm in Napa, I will definitely go back!

For my 1st trip to Napa, I did extensive research on the yelp & tripadvisor and finally decided on Tres Sabores due to their dog friendly environment during wine tasting and its organic winery origin. By pure luck, my winery tour was right after the Christmas break and it was hosted by Jon and his wife Julie Johnson. Jon warmly welcome my family of 5 and my dog to meet his golden retriever's Cava. During the tour, Jon explained how their chickens and sheep compost as fertilizers. Jon also gave a extensive history of their winery and showed us the vineyards. Julie is the owner and wine marker for Tres Sabores and she was great in explaining the different wines to me and origin of the grapes they used. The tour lasted 1.5 hours and we had a wonderful time in the outdoor area tasting the cheese and pastries Jon and Julie gave us to pair with the wines. My favorite wine was the Petite Sirah and PorQue no and I ended up purchased 9 bottles back to my NY home ( 2 carry on, 7 shipped). P.S. Check out my photos of my dog & the golden retrievers and their lovely winery. Final tips, Caymus winery is about 10 mins drive from Tres Sabores and I was able to compare the more commercialize winery vs the warm and dog friendly organic winery that is owned by Julie & Jon at Tres Sabores. It was great to see different perspectives of Napa Wineries.

Tres Sabores is now one of my favorite wineries in Napa for the following reasons: - Intimate wine tasting experience - Dog friendly indoors and outdoors - Fantastic white wines and red wines - Friendly and knowledgeable team - Beautiful views I wanted to purchase a bottle of everything...can't wait to come back!

So there we were, starting our lunch yesterday at Farmstead, looking at a list with a lot of unfamiliar wineries, and trying to decide what to do. Focus Tom, focus, was all I could think. What do you know that you like? Move to the Zins, it's what you like, but there are still a few unfamiliar names. What exactly is 'Tres Sabores'? I've never tasted it, but it's not a problem. Farmstead gives me a taste. I'm sold, it will be fantastic with our lunches and it delivers. It was very reasonable priced, as I believe Farmstead is working to have great wine at a fair price. The wine is so good that mid-meal I call the winery and arrange for a tasting. Within an hour I'm sitting at the winery with the wine maker, Julie Johnson, hearing about the history of the winery, why she make the wines that she does, her preferences for organic grapes, and the sources of the fruit for the five wines that we get to taste. Let me just say that this is truly a fantastic experience, and very different than the main highway wineries. This is not a big corporate, impersonal, mass produced product. You don't get to wear a tour button, and you're not comparing tour guides to figure out who might be more fun on the tour. Nobody is giving you a lesson on how to swirl, sip, hold the glass, buy in the gift shop, or appreciate the quality of your stemware. Clearly you know that this 'Tres Sabores' is not for everyone. Every wine we tried we liked, she shared with us a Sauvignon Blanc, a Zin, a Cab, a blend, and a Petit Sirah. Again, we liked them all. Heck, we joined the club. Find this place, google them, call them, do not pass go, do not collect $200, slow down, relax, sip, enjoy. It's hard to believe that I've been going to Napa Valley for nearly 20 years and there is so much more than the main road. Julie Johnson, and those like her, are out there and worth the effort. This was truly a special afternoon.

Amazing. Words and pix cannot do it justice. The wines are sustainable and fantastic! The grounds are beautiful! Dog friendly, picturesque. A bit pricey, but worth it. The wines are lovely! So glad we found this hidden gem!
