V. Sattui Winery Review

Beautiful setting, just felt very retail and very rushed through the tasting.

Go to winery. Excellent wine complimented by fine cheese, and Italian deli. Very familial setting. Never leave without Gamay Rouge.

The silection of wines were great and the food was excellent!!

Limited food choices, limited wine choices, nice grounds

What an experience. We had a reserved tasting with Marc, who is practically family with the family vineyard owners. He was passionate about his role there and made our time there. Every wine tasted was delicious. The market was great and u can picnic on the grounds after the tasting. Thank you for an exceptional experience.

This is by far one of the very best wineries that I have visited! I love everything about this place, the wine, the food, the merchandise, the grounds. The Madeira, Angelica, Gamay, and Off Dry Riesling are all must haves!!!!

It was amazing! My friends and I have a such great time at V. Sattui Winery! We have some glass of wine with some delicious snacks. At the same time we could enjoy the beautiful landscape of the garden around the winery. It's worth spending time there.

Great wine tasting experience with knowledgeable staff. They have an extensive collection of cheese and also a very nice Deli. On a good day you can enjoy their garden seating with some drinks and food.

We definitely enjoy V. Sattui wine! Jordan, who is very personable, made our experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for honoring our U.S. military,

Horrible place. This is not a winery, it's a wine bar. They even serve wine in plastic cups! The BBQ was awful and the wait for the food is more than an hour. Avoid if you are looking for a true winery experience. The huge parking lot is the first sign that this is not great. Trust your instincts and don't go!

Love this place. It has a good vibe! Many people come out here for wine tasting and picnic. They also have bbq and it becomes very popular and packed. Definitely worth stopping and checking out. I like their whites here.

If you're looking to have a nice lunch outside I would recommend stopping in, but be warned, it is extremely busy. We grabbed a delicious salad, house made cheese, some crackers and had a lunch outside on a wine barrel. It was a great atmosphere. Went back in for wine tasting but the bar was overrun with people so we left (we went early afternoon, so time your visit carefully if you don't want to be overrun by people).

Without a doubt, best place to sit and relax with kids. Lots of picnic tables and space to roam. Amazing wines (we joined the club).

nice wines. also has food to purchase and eat outside. not allowed in the tasting room itself unfortunately.
sweet wines were really good and they also have non alcoholic grape juice that tastes like nector :-)

Always the hub of our wheel in trips through the Valley.

My wife made a wine tasting reservation for our wedding anniversary over one month in advance. We arrived 10 minutes prior to our reservation time and were told we would be seated shortly. We had to wait over 30 minutes before being seated only to see multiple other parties who checked in after us being seated before we were. The tasting itself was very nice and we decided to purchase two bottles (Pinot noir rose and Pinot noir) that we really liked. The bottles were packaged and brought to our table. When we arrived home and unpackaged the bottles we found out that we had received the rose and a bottle of Chardonnay even though our receipt reflected the two bottles we had selected and their respective prices. I expect more from a winery like V. Sattui.

Wine was wonderful, though it was a zoo in the deli/tasting/retail shop.

The best winery! The deli and cheese counter can't be beat as is proved by how busy it gets on weekends. Plan on spending at least a half day to enjoy the grounds, the deli and of course the amazing wines! The Madeira is a must, as are the zins and malbec. Take your time and really enjoy the tastings.

Great selection of cheese and deli, nice outdoor area, beautiful view and good wine. Perfect place to spend a day in Napa!

Only had 45 minutes for a quick lunch and stopped here for a nice picnic and a Savignon Blanc. I definitely recommend this place.

Side dishes are delicious, and you can purchase simple souvenirs, and it is a recommended spot. A place where a wine train runs in front of you and you can eat lunch outside.

Great wine and wonderful experience! The staff was so helpful with suggesting wines to fit our pallets. Definitely a must do if you re looking to wine taste.

V. Sattui is a great winery if you are visiting Napa but it can get very crowded especially around lunch time on weekends. They have a wide variety of wines, even some that are good for people who don't usually like wine such as their Gamay Rouge or grape juice. Their outdoor patio is a nice spot for a picnic too.

Had a lovely time with my sister, my love Lorena at V Sattui. It's a great winery great food excellent wine choices. We always have a good time.

Beautiful and fun tasting in the reserve room with Marc 'with a c'. Marc is incredibly educated and willing to share his knowledge. His personality shines through in an amazing tasting experience. These wines are simply wonderful. Please come enjoy!

We were only in town for a couple of days and we're very pleased we took in V. Sattui. Dominico was pleasant and we'll informed. He spent time with my wife and I, asked which wines we wanted to sample and made sure we expressed our views on each wine.
A wonderful experience, hope to visit again even though we live on the East coast.

Lovely grounds. Great building(s) and cellar. One of the best delis in the area - great to pick up some wine, cheese, meats, and have a picnic before our after tasting. Definitely recommend.

PHENOMENAL. If you ever visit make sure Brien takes care of your wine tasting. He's knowledgeable, kind, and shared lineage with the founder.

V Sattui winery is a beautiful place to have some time with friends and family. There is a really good grocery inside the winery where you can buy V Sattui wines and cheeses. There is a really good place in the garden to do a picnic.
We decided to go there because our hotel offered a couple of coupons to the marketplace tasting. At the winery, the tasting was conducted by Domenico, which was a really bad host. Domenico barely offered us the option to choose the wines we would like to taste and did not helped us with our questions.
The experience at V Sattui winery was damaged by the tasting which, in my opinion, should be the highlight of the visit.

This place has been a part of my life since 1981. Their Madeira is the best I've ever tasted. It has grown significantly and changes with every return. They did just start charging an admission price ($20 which can be used for a tasting fee or redeemed for items in their extensive gift/ cheese/ foods shoppe). I always spent this much when there, so it was no big deal, but alas, it had changed and changes impact the memories once held.

Um the wine not my favorite. Merdira is really food. Fantastic deli for lunch picnic on grounds!!

Such a great experience for a Montanan girl! Devin, our server, was knowledgeable and very friendly!

The wines are good. It the service is horrible to say the least. I went to the general tasting room. It's not expected of me to be a true connoisseur (I do drink more wine than I should) or buy cases. It the bartender hardly spoke a word or educated us about wine. Most we will get was a grunt and he would point at the description on the menu (not exaggerating) I hd to restrain myself from screaming. Ruined my day. Not recommended.

I loved it. You don't need appointment; it was cheaper than most of the other places in Napa; good thing they sell food outside; the food was amazing (barbecue) but it was crowed to get food not the tasting.

Solid place, good wines at good prices (inexpensive for their "neighborhood"), while it can often get crazy seeming busy, it is still worth a visit. I enjoy several of their wines and have for many years.

The shop was open for browsing and buying. Currently no tasting. But you don't need to taste. Its all good wine. Just pick one!

Good winery with picnicking and shopping options. I loved the panini with bresaola. It was so crowded that I couldn t have the energy to try and taste the wines. There is a separate bar just for tasting that I found out a bit late and we had to leave. Try that one for tasting and stay away from the crowd.

Julie is super awesome. She was super helpful and very helpful in answering our questions, she even provided helpful tips on consuming the product.

Not a wine connoisseur here but I really loved most of the wines that we sampled. I love the gamay rouge the most. Julie said we could mix it with vodka and turn it into a slushie for a perfect summer drink.

We ended up buying one case of different types of wine and with a one year membership.

Definitely worth coming back for.

Food is fantastic the cheese is amazing the Moscato was delicious and eating in nature was peaceful

One of the few wineries that allow you to have a picnic on their property. V. Sattui is privately owned and is one of my favorite wineries to go to when I visit Napa Valley. Looking forward to another visit with friends very soon!

They're doing their best to operate in these crazy times. They have implemented Covid 19 safety practices while maintaining a friendly disposition. It's basically the same great V. Sattui its always been except now with outdoor tasting and a food truck.

We had our tasting down in the barrel room, which was the coolest atmosphere! Marc was our server and he was very knowledgeable about the wines and as we shared our taste preferences with him he was able to recommend other wines for my wife to try, namely, the muscat, Angelic and Madeira, all were great matches for her tastes and we went home with a couple bottles! Great experience! Highly recommend!

Very touristy but great place for a sandwich - the sandwiches are mega

Bad experience with server. I was at V. Sattui, for wine tasting experience. I asked the server, where do I pay for wine tasting. He said right here, I pulled up cash and he said you can pay after tasting. I started tasting, and picked Madeira. He gave me very little quantity, while I was tasting it made a nasty comment 'when you are tasting, you don't pick the most expensive item on the list first'. I was stunned but did not say anything. He filled more of the wine in another glass initially put it next to me, but pulled it away from me. Then he went to talk to other customers. I waited patiently for a couple minutes, he never bothered to return to ask if I need another wine tasting or would like to pay. I walked after waiting enough.

May be he was in sales pressure. Treating customer like treating me is no way to win sales. He did not win even his tasting fees.

My boyfriend and I were visiting wine country a few weeks ago and stopped into V. Sattui during the thick of the Glass Fire. Regardless of multiple environmental emergencies (COVID, evacuation warnings, etc) we were treated with the highest customer service and felt safe within their modified environment. We happened to meet the owners, John and Tom, while shopping their deli and gift market, and I appreciated their attentiveness, hospitality and spot on recommendations. I had never ordered a case of wine from here before, and never tried their Petit Verdot. John promised me if I didn't like any bottle of wine, to let him know, and I'm so happy I trusted him and his recommendation. You really cannot go wrong with any bottle you select from this winery, and stopping at their winery while in Napa is definitely worth the time. Highly recommend, and I know I'll be back (hopefully sooner than later).

My husband and I purchased a bottle of gamay rouge along with lots of food to have a picnic at the winery. The wine turned out to be VERY sweet. There was no indication on the bottle of the high sugar content. When we tried to exchange the wine, we were refused. I have never in my life had an establishment refuse to take back undesirable wine.
This will be our last visit. The management has no idea how much revenue will be lost from their poor judgment.

Poor experience ordering online. Madeira is good though!

My fiance gave me an unforgettable vacation to Napa and this was one of the places we visited. I can't stop thinking about the delicious sandwich and the pretzel with mustard, the area of Deli super recommended. I don't remember the name of Mr. who gave us the wine tasting but he was very friendly and the wine selection was wonderful. The picnic area and the garden are beautiful, I am considering my wedding under the huge tree.

Everything is great!!! Friendly, feel like family service!

My favorite wine place in the valley. Their desert wines are exceptional.

Great place to stop. The wines are decent but the service overall is excellent. The deli and picnic area make this a popular stop.

Not only the best wine I've ever had (even better than the vineyard I'm a member of), but wonderfully knowledgeable staff and beautiful grounds. 10/10 will go back again.

Excellent wine, fun atmosphere, and delightful food.

Great choice. Very much a retail environment in the tasting

Superb Napa winery, with an outdoor picnic area. Tastings for $20 for 5 wines. The Morisoli Cabarnet is my favorite but they have delicious wines for all palettes.

We were here for Wine tasting at The terrace. Nice collection of wines.

Very disappointing tasting. After visiting several other wineries where the hosts took time to explain the wines and winemaking, this one was such a letdown. This is a rushed experience with almost no explanations of the wines. The tasting takes place in a store environment with lots of people and the people pouring the wines just want to get you in and out quickly. This is a tourist trap winery right on Hwy 29. The wines that we tried were not very good, lacking depth and complexity. There are much better wineries and experiences in Napa Valley.

Customer-unfriendly setup. Closed for private event, but said it was open to visitors on the main road. Wasted trip

Had a outdoor family picnic at V Sattui with some food from their deli (olives, baked garlic, truffle cheese and tiramissu for dessert) and a bottle of wine! I chose rose Riesling which was offered as one of the options while tasting. It was fun and wonderful! A great place to have friends and family come here to meet and chat! The price of the wine is a little bit higher than average though.

Aloha! One of the Best Wineries ever. Met the owner Carolyn Sattui and simply we chatted for nearly an hour talking about the history of the winery and their family business. I love reds the most and I enjoyed mostly the Pinot Noir and Syrah. My wife and kids loved the grape juice certainly. Can't say much more with the great experience I had with Carolyn and her staff. The winery also has a lovely courtyard were you can simply have a picnic. A very popular winery so get here when you can.

Picnic area is sweet though it is a little bit crowded.

Fun and relaxed. Beautiful outdoor area with seating to enjoy some of the wine and food you might buy inside. The tastings are reasonably priced and offer a good selection.

Had I known about this place before, it would have been the first winery I visit. This place you can skip the tasting and buy a whole bottle, open it on the grass, buy some cheese and enjoy out in the sun. Definitely a great place to drink wine and unwind and enjoy the food too.

It's gorgeous there and a wonderful time if it's not crowded.

It sounded like it was famous, but I honestly thought there were a lot of people, so I was going to see it. But there was a picnic table on the lawn and a lot of wine snacks. Our team has been eating, and if you see a lot of winery, I recommend tasting and eating together here.

I really loved the grounds and the deli/shopping experience. I thought the picnic table area was super nice and convenient very family friendly.

The wine is excellent and there is no arguing that point. You could get a bit of a sense of the wine making at this winery if you walk around.

The tasting itself was nice, the person was super friendly but really lacked the excitement of learning about the wines and what made each different. I understand with Covid19 no one goes overboard but people aren t just interested In taste but also the winery history and process.

Great place to hang around with friends and family, quite a touristy place however, expect it to be quite busy when you visit.

We were there on a Saturday and while the place was packed with visitors, we enjoyed our "picnic" even during the winter time. Food was delicious and they have this "melts-in-your-mouth" kind of lasagna!

Excellent wines, fantastic tour and all around great time! Will definitely be back.

Loved it! Went there this past Memorial weekend as they were celebrating 130 years. They had a fresh outside bbq going on with ribs, shrimp, other delights and side dishes. I had the ribs and corn. Delicious. The line was long but worth the wait. Did both wine tastings that they offer. It was crowded but fun and festive. The hosts were delightful. Visited the cellar. Great photo op. Would recommend just dropping in and tasting some very delicious wine and great food. Fun! Fun! Fun!
