    Decent tour and the wines were good. Compared to some of the other wineries in the area, it was okay. If you're looking for a lot of sampling, this is your tour. They're not shy about offering a little more, but it felt too much like a sales tactic to get you to buy their expensive bottles. The cave was cool and was the highlight of the visit. You get to taste a lot out of the barrel, but I wish you could compare the barrel to the bottle for a better experience. Your tour also includes a pizza in the middle of the tasting, which throws off your palette. For the price of the tour, I'd look elsewhere first. Also, the tour guide did not wear a mask and the entire tour was indoors. As soon as you have a glass you're encouraged to remove your mask.

    I have never felt less welcomed by anyone involved with wine or hospitality or even anyone full stop. Although we didn't partake in any wine or tours unfortunately, however, after asking if there was availability to be looked up and down then visibly judge upon appearance and then treated in an manner at best curt and at worst rude I am glad. Our driver had recommended this vineyard as they had previously been many times and couldn't talk highly enough of it. As someone who was previously involved in wine tasting and buying but more on the European scene I was so looking forward to visiting a few vineyards to get a true feeling for the valley. I now wish I had stuck to the oroginalmplan and stayed in the first vineyard. Such a shame that no had told the person responsible for welcoming people that first impressions last a lifetime and are very hard to change.

    I loved this winery. It was beautiful and the customer service was exceptional. I went in July 2019 and can honestly say that the wines were great and Jennifer did great with telling me everything there was to know about the wines and helped my husband and I get around Napa since it was our first time out there. I definitely want to go back and check out their other wineries. This place is a must stop.

    Our cave tour at Del Dotto was amazing. From the beautiful ambiance to the lovely wine to our very knowledgeable tour guide to the yummy snacks - we loved every minute. Such a great experience!

    It was my first time tasting wine out of a French & American oak barrel in a cave and the experience was phenomenal. Thomas, our guide/sommelier, made it fun and he’s so charismatic. The fresh-in-house pizza that they served at the end of the tour was yummy. The whole staff and venue was outstanding. The tour and cost of the wine was worth it.

    Just received our shipment of Del Dotto Wine today, we ordered it back in July when we (my Wife & I) went on a tour there, They could not ship it until the summer heat stopped in my area, Well worth the wait. My wife and I are avid wine drinkers, mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and I can say that this is the best I have every had!! We got our shipment just in time for our wedding anniversary and it made it really special. We will save the rest of the bottles for wedding anniversary's to come...I highly recommend the tour and the wine!!

  • 5/5 Ben B. 6 years ago on Google
    This was an outstanding tour and we learned so much about how the tast of the wine is created. Rachael was our guide and we can't say enough good things about her. She was super friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We visited several wineries that weekend, but this was the most personable and best tasting in our opinion. We were skeptical of the price of the tour, but to our surprise, it was well worth it. We got generous pours and the meat and cheese tray was great. I was personally amazed by how much the barrels affected the tast. I have known that the barrels were a important part of the process, but after the side by side tasting, straight out of the barrels, I was shocked by the differences it creates. I highly recommend Del Dotto to anyone who is looking for some wine knowledge and great wine. Be sure to make reservations and ask for Rachael if possible.

    5 Stars isn’t enough. Del Dotto is a unique winery and is our new favorite wine. We especially loved the garden. Thanks for hosting us.

    My wife and I had a great experience at Del Dotto! While I am definitely not a wine connoisseur, this tasting experience made me feel like I was. The venue was beautiful, the “cave” was neat, and our guide Taylor was very knowledgeable. The pizza was pretty good too!

    I brought my Aunt here for a tour after Thanksgiving and we had the most amazing experience. I believe our guide was Carson (sorry if that is wrong). He was extremely knowledgeable and made sure every question or thought was important and addressed. The wine was amazing, even out of the barrel, which tells you that the bottle will be better. My Aunt was very impressed and excited to learn more about wine. Thank you!!!

    PJ was an amazing tour guide! We were able to taste the wine directly out of the barrels in the cave which made the experience extra unique. At the end of the tour they also gave us delicious sandwiches and pizza. Highly recommend and will definitely be back the next time we visit Napa!

    Exclusive, ambient, personal, and overall excellent experience!!! Of all the vineyards we’ve been to, this has now taken the top spot! Such a private and intimate setting, amazing guides/hosts, and the wine- oh sooooo elevated and fine! Our guide Kyle was amazing, super knowledgeable, and there’s just something great about being able to taste wine straight from the barrel- raw and exquisite at the same time! Definitely book in advance and enjoy this wonderful experience!!! We will definitely be back and also visit the other locations!

    Beautiful wine tour, accompanied with great tastings.

    We’ve visited all the Del Dotto locations and they are all really nice. This one, however, is spectacular from the point of history and workmanship. Great wine and history to soak in!!!

    We had a tasting on thanksgiving with Kendall and he was absolutely incredible. So knowledgeable, funny, answered all of our “dumb” questions and make the experience unforgettable. Could not recommend this place enough!

    We did plenty of wineries in Napa during our trip, but this one stood out from the rest. The property, caves, wines, food, and tour guide were all phenomenal and I highly recommend visiting.
