Great service and nice people. This is a very chill spot. I loved the explanation of the various wines that are offered here. The French wine and chocolate combination were a nice recommendation by staff. I normally have my wine, a la carte(ha ha), but I had to try it. Happily, it did not disappoint...Delicious!!!

I am completely obsessed with JCB. My wife and I have been members for almost one year and are always so impressed by how kind the staff is. In addition to this the wine and champagnes are by far the absolute best in Sonoma county. As members of 5 different wine clubs in Sonoma and Napa I have to say this one is our favorite. As a queer POC couple we often do not receive the best treatment in Yontville, however this is far from the case with JCB. Krista is an absolute gem, but honestly every member of the staff is divine. The tasting salon is gorgeous, very fun and over the top. If you want a dopamine boost, delicious bubbly wines, and a good time...look no further than JCB. Highly, highly, highly recommend. We cannot wait to checkout the other global tasting rooms over the next few years.

JCB is our go to spot in Yountville. Krista has made our visits wonderful from our first one! The day of our first visit, we went to celebrate our engagement-she was so kind with helping us celebrate our special day. The wines are amazing, my favorites are the sparking wines especially No. 13 and the GALA champagnes. They are far better than other places in Sonoma Valley- knew we had to get a membership. Since then each trip has been very special! I'm obsessed with the decor and it's always wonderful to enjoy a glass of amazing wine from the knowledgable, friendly crew. Can't recommend the experience enough! In a town that looks like it wouldn't be friendly to LGBTQIA+ POCs this one is such an accepting haven.

Krista was wonderful today. We love the wines she was so accommodating. The lounge is absolutely beautiful and the jewelry spectacular.

I LOVE JCB so much!i recently joined the sparkling club here. i was actively trying to decided between here and a couple other sparkling memberships. I am so glad that I picked JCB. Not only is their sparkling actually amazing but they have partner wineries where we also get complimentary tastings. The service here is stellar. The ambience is over the top amazing! the wine is divine!I still need to explore all the sister wineries...so far i'm beyond pleased

Wow! This is the most glamorous wine tasting room I've ever visited!Don't let the outside fool you, the interior looks like Liberace's home! hahaMy sister and brother-in-law are members, so after having lunch nearby at Addendum they took me here for some wine tasting. Our hostess was Candy and she was fantastic and pretty too! When I say this place is fancy, I mean their wine glasses are Baccarat! The entire time I was just admiring the decor! I want the name and number of ther interior designer haha. The wine was fantastic and up there with the ambiance.The coolest part of our visit was the Member's Lounge where Candy showed us John Legend's personal piano! OMG! How cool is that?! I had a great time at JCB Tasting Salon. This is the perfect place for a Bachelorette Party or a Girls' Night Out! Make sure to put JCB Tasting Salon on your Napa Valley Itinerary!

If you want bling and awe, while tasting some amazing bubbles, do NOT pass up the opportunity to check out the JCB Tasting Salon in Yountville! John Charles has created an incredible legacy in more ways than one! I could hang out here for hours just admiring the ambiance and learning his story. This is a rare treat in total luxury and opulence, and the bubbles are beyond palate pleasing. Service and attention was great and we so enjoyed the conversation with our hosts. Looking forward to enjoying our favorites in the future!

Beautiful and the right amount of excess lol! Real crystal and amazing portfolio of wines. The tasting was great however the educator or sommelier did not provide tasting notes so it left you feeling uneducated. She talked more about the owner than the wines that they make and what each wine contains. The outside of the venue was looked like a remodeled retirement village but the inside was a gawdy demonstration of wealth. Don't get me wrong, I was here for the crystals, diamonds, perfume, and wine but I didn't purchase. My lack of purchasing was more so because I didn't know what I was getting. I love learning about the wines and I didn't learn anything. It was Instagrammable though.

One of our days in Yountville we chose to go to tasting rooms in town within a walking distance of our Hotel Villagio. I chose JCB for its individually uniquely designed tasting rooms. So much fun to take it all in. I made advanced reservations on a Thursday at 12:30. Upon arrival we were greeted by our Tasting Room Hostess, Jordon. Not being busy we were able to look around and then choose which room to have our tasting in. Jordon was such a pleasure to talk to. Young and knowledgeable about all the wines and just having fun conversation with her. We chose the JCB wine experience: three wine flights to choose from, each served in Baccarat crystal. So much fun! A definite repeat!

Went to the JCB Tasting Salon in Napa with my friends. It's located in Yountville, and they have several locations in the Bay Area. I really liked the atmosphere there, it had a French-style charm with a touch of luxury. They even had a peacock, and their wine bottles were beautifully designed. The interior design was definitely a highlight.A spontaneous trip to Napa! We were able to secure a reservation the night before, which was great because sometimes it's difficult to get a booking at the more famous wineries. This wine tasting salon turned out to be a nice stop along our journey.The salon is located in Yountville, right next to the famous French Laundry and its caviar tasting restaurant, Regiis Ova Caviar.The highlight of the salon is the caviar tasting paired with wine, and they use the same caviar as the French Laundry next door! Here's what we ordered:Seberian Caviar - $120JCB Gala Champagne - $35 per glassJCB Passion Red Wine - $30 per glass

There is only one Jean-Charles Boisset, the colorful Raymond Vineyards proprietor, could dream up a leopard print-covered, velvet tasseled, gold-gilded wine salon, dripping with a spinning Baccarat crystal chandeliers? Wine tasting at Yountville's JCB Tasting Salon is the most extravagantly over-the-top experience ever!The vibe at JCB is all out glam, dazzling, extravagance and very french. You can sample JCB's sparkling wines, chardonnay and pinot noir, or buy a bottle of their top dollar vodka or a Swarovski crystal and pearl-studded brooch adorning our bottle of JCB's Boisset also just opened a new spot in downtown Napa so as a club member you can visit many other locations of his other brands.There's no doubt that sparkling wine, caviar, foie gras, smoked salmon and charcuterie, artisan cheese will pair well and all are available to upgrade your tasting experience! We had a blast

This place came recommended by at least 3-4 people in the area. Really friendly staff and exotic decor. For a second, I thought I was waking into a set of the Tiger King. The decor is incredibly gaudy. Their signature wine goes up to $360, or the same price as Opus One. It comes with a glass stopper versus a cork so the shelf life is about 3-5 years. It's good, but not $360 good.The tasting option we chose was $85/person. The Baccarat glasses are a nice touch and the 4 2 oz pours are stingy, leaving no room for a heavy hand.Walk-ins welcome. Free street parking out front.
