Katie GallagherApril 19, 2013THE VIEW IS AMAZING! The Gondola ride is breathtaking and takes you a different viewpoint route the way down. A must visit when you're in Napa! You get a wine glass souvenir to take home.
Asa BaumSeptember 28, 2016This is a lovely vineyard, the grape stomping is fun & you footprint a tshirt. The gondola has great views. They supply you with plenty of wine for the money. Good insight to the factory floor.
NatalieJuly 15, 2016The silver tour upgrade was certainly worth it! The gondola ride to the top was quite the experience and breathtaking views everywhere! Don't forget your tasting wine glass is yours to keep!
Nadeen ASeptember 4, 2017My favorite serve is Maurice!! Ask for him! He's the absolute best, and we even went back for a second around. He makes you feel extremely welcomed. Love this place!!
Lynn VillaruzSeptember 24, 2017My husband and I chose Silver package Tour. Aerial tram a must. Enjoyed the beautiful view from the balcony. Lisa was wonderful.
Chris PlierNovember 22, 2015Cool gondola ride to the tasting room. Go for the silver tasting. Great views to enjoy with your wine
Greg SchulzSeptember 13, 2013If you book the basic package online, you can upgrade to the Silver experience once you get here for $4 per person. Includes 5 reserve wines in addition. John is super helpful.
Jon TheriaultAugust 5, 2012Save this winery for your last. Tour starts with a tram ride up the hill to the winery tour. The views are amazing. A must do.
Paulette RomeroMay 19, 2014The tram up to the winery is awesome and there are 3 different tasting stations. The place is huge and the scenery is beautiful! Enjoy it!- Burt HermanMay 17, 2013Great view from the top! If you have a wine club membership, you don't have to pay the pricey fee to ride the tram up, so buy one at the bottom
Pacific UnionSeptember 4, 2013Sterling offers a good tour and education, and the gondola ride is a must. Download a $5-off couponbefore you arrive. Parking can be tough, so arrive early!
The views are spectacular on their Aerial Tram Ride to the Vineyards, they have coupon on there website print them out save a few $$ ;)- Nick MageloffSeptember 6, 2011Great winery tour and a cool gondola ride up the mountain. Enjoy a glass of wine or bubbly on their rooftop terrace with an amazing view of the Napa Valley.
Elizabeth OllisAugust 29, 2013This vineyard is breathtaking and the tram ride is fun too! Unfortunately, the wine wasn't our favorite but would definitely return just for the views!
RockinRealtorMarch 29, 2016Wine and winery are so-so but the view is spectacular and you get to take a gondola ride.
Soojung LeeMarch 30, 2017Silver plus experience for extra 4 glasses of club wines and cheese pairing.
- Burt HermanFebruary 7, 2012Become a member and you get the tram ride for free, along with special tastings. The view from the top is definitely worth the trip!
Angel FuMarch 31, 2015Great values and nice view. Considered one of the must go tours in Napa as well.
PJ SchultzAugust 3, 2011The Reserve tasting is not really worth it. Reserve wine was delicious, but, amazingly enough, paled in comparison to the Cellar Tasting wines, which were outstanding.
Loveland LocalJanuary 15, 2013Awesome experience. Tram is unique, views are FANTASTIC, I really liked the self-guided tour. A++
AlisonAugust 26, 2013Perfect afternoon, nice staff. Get the silver tasting - it's worth the few extra bucks.
Matt AMay 27, 2012Great deal -- $25 for a Gondola ride, self-guided tour, 5 tastings and an amazing view of Napa Valley. Compare that to surrounding wineries.
E MOctober 19, 2012The tram is really fun, but this winery is pretty touristy. Only $25 for the tram ride, tasting and wine glass. The views are pretty spectacular.
Cassandra ClarkMarch 25, 2018A bit on the touristy side but great wines and service with beautiful views.
Esra SokmenOctober 23, 2013Wines are really nice but the tour could have been a little longer and more informative on wine producing
Alex RDecember 30, 2015Terrible wines, amazing views. Worth the price of admission for the views though.
Sarah WareMay 7, 2012Michael was very informative. A def for Napa- all guys are very nice. Ask Ted about his time in Africa! And Chardonnay is amazzzzing
Juan Camilo CamargoMay 7, 2013Touristy, but ride and views amazing. Visit worth just because of that.
William F. AntolinezMay 25, 2014The place was so crowded that the wine didn't had time to get to the right temperature before being served for tasting. Avoid this winery during holidays and busy season.
Aysu OzgurApril 1, 2019Views are beautiful, but it’s a tourist trap and there is much better wine in the area.- PJ SchultzAugust 3, 2011IMO 09 Cellar Club Riesling & 06 Three Palms Merlot are the best (in class) I've ever had.
Leilani CarraraAugust 9, 2011amazing views at the facility, and catch the tram back down during sunset for a beautiful photo Read more
Seth HeeterApril 18, 2013If you go to the welcome center there is a five dollar off brochure! Totally worth 25 bucks thou though!
Gerard ReyesNovember 17, 2014Get a wine club membership so you can bring more loved ones on the gondola
Sam XiaoAugust 18, 2017$32 for a short ride and can't waive it when you buy the wine, I don't get this.
ChrisOctober 5, 2015Very unfriendly service at the last stop of the wine tasting. First 3 stops offered second glas to taste, 4th stop rejected this possibility extremely impolitely. Not recommendable!
Sara KOctober 19, 2011Take the gondola to the winery tour and enjoy the beautiful views along the way
Mark McDermottMarch 1, 2010The view of the Napa Valley is amazing from here. The $20 tasting does include 5 tastings. Learn about how winemakers make wine.
KasiaJune 7, 2011Didn't care for their wines, but nice views of surrounding areas and the castle winery across the way.
