Thank you for a wonderful afternoon, Tyler was an amazing host who was friendly and super knowledgable! I would recommend anyone to visit Fantesca for a private boutique style tasting and some of the best wine I’ve tasted.

This was the most perfect, intimate experience! We were given a behind-the-scenes look at the art and science of winemaking. Our guide, Roman, was incredibly knowledgeable and extremely personable. He made our experience feel one-of-a-kind. We were fortunate enough to have a conversation with the owner, Duane during our tour. His stories and knowledge in the craft kept us asking questions and wanting more. And then there’s the wine itself…one word-EXCEPTIONAL!! It was an easy decision to join the wine club. We look forward to enjoying these boutique releases and participating in member-only event for years to come!

Super fun tasting experience at the winery run by Heidi Barrett - the queen of Napa wine making! While I'm not big on the "royal castle" decor, the wines and story are so lovely that it's easy to get lost in their great wines and history. We were able to try a selection of latest releases and a couple library wines, and everything we tasted was simply divine. While this isn't the prettiest winery, the wines are worth the trip.

We were in Napa all by mistake as our original plans changed and we had 2 days to kill. We set up a tour at Fantesca and boy did it exceed all of our expectations! Carrie B. was our estate host and she did a phenomenal job. She greeted us with a bottle of Champaign and we walked some of the property before the rain came in. She offered to take some great photos of us and asked us about our life and what brought us to Napa/St. Helena CA. She was extremely informative of the wine and the estate and had a way that instead of feeling like a tour it truly felt like a friend having a conversation about what they were passionate about. We had a lovely tasting of different reds and whites. I personally am not a wine lover but found one that I enjoyed. I would 100% recommend Fantesca, Carrie and the whole experience is worth every penny.

Had a private tour here with 4 people. Jordan showed us around and was very well spoken, very knowledgeable and very personable. He made our tour very special and we absolutely loved it. The wine we sampled was very very good! I highly recommend the Mercy as it was my favorite but all were very close in distinct flavor. I can't recommend Fantesca highly enough. I also forgot to mention that when we were planning the trip out we called Fantesca to book the wine tour based on a recommendation and when we spoke with Jordan he gave out several amazing recommendations for accommodations and restaurants. Thank you very much for helping make our trip special.

What an amazing exclusive experience we had. Gorgeous scenery. The way vineyard is layer out is how it should be. The cave for storing wine was amazing as well as the wine itself. The tasting room made us feel like royalty and the history behind the place was all breathtaking . I can’t wait to go back

We had the amazing opportunity to enjoy a private tasting with Miguel! I can not say enough I’m about this place. It is a small private location, Miguel shared the history of the vineyard as well as the story of the owners and wine maker. For me personally being able to share all of this makes the wine that much better. You tie your mind and flavors of the wine together for an experience that will last forever. No pressure to purchase anything and yet we still purchase 12 bottles. I can not imagine a better experience. If you have the opportunity to come to the area look no further.

Small, intimate, tour and tasting of delicious wines. Highly recommended. Be sure to see how close the 2020 fire scorched the proprty.

We had an amazing experience here. Our tasting manager, Carrie, was awesome! When we arrived, she poured us some French bubbles, and we walked around the property, and in the wine cave (or silver mine -lol). The room we were in for the tasting was lovely, with a big long table, and very comfortable high-backed chairs. The wine was delicious - the Chardonnay was a fan favorite (great body to it, very slightly oaked and more minerality). Another favorite was all great things - and we loved the backstory and how it ties to a Winston Churchill quote. In addition - they make a really great, full bodied pinot which was delicious. You can't go wrong with any of their wines or this winery -check it out - and ask for Carrie!

We tasted at Fantesca this morning and Miguel was awesome. Greeted us warmly and hosted us with excitement with his smile! We’ve been members for a few years and this was my favorite tasting. The wine didn’t disappoint. Superb!

I recently saw an article about the best wineries in Napa and I wasn't surprised that Fantesca was on the list. I was surprised to realize that I never reviewed them even though we were there 7 years ago! The grounds are spectacular. Duane, Susan, and their team could not have been more accommodating and their wine is outstanding. Tastings are by appointment only, so make a plan and go here!

You won't find a better wine, story, or experience in all of Napa Valley. Fantesca is the hidden gem that you should put on the very top of your list.

We had a great experience here last fall. It was an intimate wine tasting experience with some of the best wines we have ever tasted. Going back to Napa in September 2023 and hope to visit again
