Man-made castle in the of Napa! Very interesting spot to visit. However, if you're a designated driver (DD), you are still required to pay $25 for the tasting, even if you don't taste it. I don't agree with that, even though they did spend quite a bit of money building this as a tourist trap.

As for the tasting experience, the place gets packed. Incredibly packed! Make sure to stop by early, or book a reservation for large parties. You can save $5 from the wine tasting app if you want, but you need to take a picture of the actual spot and upload it on Facebook and show them to get it (not worth it).

I'd recommend that they don't force designated drivers to pay the tasting fee as it's not a very positive experience for the group.
