2 of 5 stars. I wanted to love this place because one of my friends loves their chardonnay and took us there, but..... It's in the middle of nowhere so the drive is a little bit of a turn off before you even get…

3 of 5 stars. It was crowded (Saturday morning) and the lady just threw the book at us with the descriptions of the wine. I didn't want to read, I wanted to hear about it. The gallery was really nice and the…

4 of 5 stars. So, I can't really give this place a perfect 5 since I didn't taste too much of the wine, however, I have to say that this place is more than just wine tasting. There is so much to see and experience…

4 of 5 stars. Wow, Hess was another great treasure in Napa. It was a little bit off the beaten path but well worth the visit! We arrived just 15 minutes prior to closing so we didn't get to tour the museum or try…

4 of 5 stars. What a great find in Napa! It was nice to go to a winery off the Hwy 29 strip. And a pretty drive too, but not too far off the beaten path. The grounds are well groomed, and the tasting building is…

4 of 5 stars. If you are coming here looking for wine, you're really in the wrong place: the Hess Collection is art first, wine second. That said, the art gallery is worth a trip here in itself: the electronic,…

Beautiful Tasting Room!

The journey to this winery is thru a wooded hillside. It is well worth the trip! Gorgeous tasting room, wonderful wines too. Make time to see the art collection too.
