The Andretti winery was the first winery we visited in Napa, and I'm glad it got better from there. It wasn't bad, but it is incredibly touristy and doesn't have the small family owned vibe other area wineries have. Though it is in fact owned by Mario the race driver, they made it sound like he wasn't often there which is odd as in his hometown of Nazareth, PA, they make it sound like he is always out there. The grounds do a very good job of feeling like an Italian villa, and it is a very nice place to take in a tasting while sitting behind the stable house. We first took the tour which I would not suggest as it encompassed a 50-ft total area and somehow meant we couldn't use our BOGO tasting coupon. Our guide was nice but not personable and kept forgetting things. The staff we dealt with for the tasting was similarly unimpressive. I don't know if they were ignoring us on purpose to stay out of our way, or just simply ignoring us. We did enjoy taking our last glass out to the yard and basking in the sun. It wasn't terrible, but we did experience better wineries in just about every facet while in Napa.
