V. Sattui Winery Review

Loved the Muscat! The venue in general, fantastic. I'll be making be coming back if ever I'm back in town.

This is the only winery I always visit when I'm in the area. The deli is wonderful and the cheese counter is amazing. You can sample many things and then buy your selections for a nice picnic on their beautiful grounds.

Decent wines, semi-reasonable prices, and a great setting. Friendly staff. A bit crowded and disneyland-like.

Awesome. Not the boutique of a small winery, but had a great time and enjoyed our time with more than the standard (reisling, blend, port). Enjoy!

Nice place to eat and taste wine. Be sure to say hi to Steve the wine cat!

Great location with some good wines. Staff can be more engaged

If you buy 7 bottles be prepared to carry 3 as you only get a box for 4.
Nice place to eat picnic style. Deli inside, but you can enjoy your own food too.

Very beautiful grounds and they are one of very few wineries who are letting people on the estate without prior reservations during COVID19. The food truck food is also pretty good. If going on weekends, go there early to avoid waiting in the line.

The whole experience of the wine tasting room, the bread and cheese shop, the beautiful buildings and the picnic grounds makes this one of my very favorite wineries in NAPA. For a Jayhawker from Lawrence, Ks, NAPA is an awesome annual dream trip!

Had a friends birthday celebration here, they went the whole 9 yards and helped catered and extended a discount to our post party celebrations on the beautiful land they own

Their vintage and reserve wines are exquisite, rich in flavour and well balanced. They offer wine tasting and picnic areas which are superb! All staff are nice and super friendly :-)

I was recommended this place from a friend who is a regular up in Napa and I m so glad we ended up here. It was super dog friendly and the staff loved on our pup the whole time we were wine tasting. Fabulous location and staff, we will definitely be coming here again!

We visited V Sattui for the deli, and it did not disappoint, great sandwiches! What did disappoint was the policy that we could not order a glass of wine, only a bottle. For two on a wine tour, this was too much alcohol. Also, not much seating in the garden.

We considered a wine tasting, but the tasting area is in the deli, and therefore extremely public and loud. Not recommended.

Even though the price for wine tasting has increased, they are still our favorite winery to go to. The tasting guides are all knowledgable and fun to talk to.

Always have a great experience here. Big Ed and Michael took great care of us! Definitely ask for them the next time you go visit!

Five tastings cost $ 21. Reservations are not required for less than 8 people. There are many counter bars in the building, and you can talk to the clerk at any place you like and pay for the tasting.
Wine is purchased only at wineries, delivery is only in the United States, and sales are not done through dealers, so you can drink outside only local wineries! It is a rare wine.
The royal road of Napa Valley is red and Cabernet Sauvignon, but this winery offers white and red wines of various varieties.
Food and drinks are not allowed on the winery premises.
There is a deli, so you can buy wine from the deli and enjoy a picnic lunch on the bench.
Food trucks also open on weekends, offering pizza and grills.

You can buy wine by bottle, buy ingredients by deli, and eat at the outside table. You can get a cheap container for wine.

Beautiful picnic area! On the weekends they bbq tri-tip, chicken, ribs, prawns, corn, lots of salads, and brick oven pizza, right from an outdoor brick own. The picnic area is filled with benches and tables, but bring your own blanket or extra chairs if you have a small group. There is a great deli inside selling everything your taste buds can wish for.

The benefit of being a member pays off when you go to the private tasting room in the cellar. Mark helped us and he suggested a brilliant plan of attack. Drinking our first, then second, and third... I think seven or so wines! He was funny and made our time enjoyable. He served us a special bottle of Port from the year my nephew was born, which was worth the membership alone. Well worth the money!

It's on the other side of the valley from where I live, so it's a longer drive, but I enjoyed driving by all of the other wineries to get to V. Sattui Winery. Beautiful area and just perfect weather Labor Day 2015

Good wines and good food in the deli. Great place to stop for lunch on a day trip through Napa Valley.

Super nice place to have a wine. Children have fun in the common area and can have a very good grape juice. Delicious breads and side dishes. Prepare the card!

A great family-friendly stop in Napa! Highly recommended.

This place is overcrowded and they hardly make any of their wine out of own grapes. Their customer service is so poor. We waited 50 minutes for our food and then had to rush through our tasting while our attendant didn't pay very much attention to us. Personally we would have purchased a $60 bottle of desert wine but the attendant didn't come back in time for us to purchase anything before our tour bus left. I would never come back again.

shipment related problems, and much unprofessionalism!

This used to be one of my favorite wineries. The cheese selection and the deli are still outstanding but the tasting was run by one young man who was not helpful, knowledgeable or concerned with service. We waited forever to taste 5 wines. A woman next to me was exasperated waiting to order a case of Merlot. She finally said, Are you gonna help me? And she had been there long before we even paid for our tasting. Ruined the visit for us and we left w/o purchasing anything when our plan was to split a case with our friends and get loads of cheese! So sad one employee can ruin an entire winery s reputation.

We had the most obnoxious and arrogant sales manager serve us wine Saturday 4/29 5 pm. Mark? Name tag said sales manager. Skip this winery! Get a bottle somewhere else. Visit their deli great selection of cheeses.

I am readily rating this place five stars. I was so fascinated by the taste of their Madeira! This red wine has some peanut taste in it and it gave me a totally new sensation! Also, enjoyed their cellar touring where I could observe the scene of winery storage first hand...and simply it was intensely impressive!

This is an awesome place that we just happened to stumble upon!! It s very crowded but that s drawn us into. We had such a wonderful experience of wine tasting. I love the deli shop, they offer a wide variety of cheeses, olives, bread, salad and much more...but be sure to order theirs delicious sandwiches. Beautiful, friendly, fun, cozy, and clean environment.

Good place for picnic but can I bring your food you have to buy from the deli very good Deli sandwiches Meats cheese plates olives the good spreads plus more wines cold beers there gets crowded just real busy get there early busiest times Friday Saturday and Sunday

Everything was 5 stars except one: the welcoming/introductory needs to be adjusted. But this was addressed and in sure will be corrected for the future.
Looking forward to visiting again.

nice winery, what makes this one special is that is has a small deli inside, you can purchase local produced foods and enjoy them with a glass of wine in their spacious backyard. large yard , so kids can play . worth a stop over for lunch or a picnic.

Vanessa was lovely! There was a fantastic variety of wines and Vanessa was extremely knowledgeable. The deli was fantastic and my father and I enjoyed and lovely lunch on the picnic grounds before our tasting.

We stopped in for a quick lunch in between tastings. There is a nice little deli set-up. I had a pre-made green salad and a cold seafood salad from the deli. Both very flavorful. My husband had a panini, which he enjoyed. Our only complaint More

I visited this winery during the COVID-19 lockdown period. No wine tasting is done as expected but the retail shop was open. This is relatively small winery compared to some other big names such as Mondavi but what caught my eyes was the old medieval fashioned castle-like building. It was really fascinating to walk around the building still despite the closure inside and winery tours.

Retail shop assistants were genuinely friendly and kind. Good recommendations on types of wines you would like to try. They sell cheeses as well. I would love to come back here when it is fully open again.

Not a fan. Very commercial & gimmicy. The tasting was rushed and felt mass produced - no information about the wines provided. If you want to buy some cheese/meat and have a picnic, maybe stop by. That said, I will not be returning.

This is the worst tasting experience we've had at any winery anywhere. If you like feeling like cattle in a stall...or like you are hanging out in a line at Disney World...this place is for you. If you like good wine, a good tasting experience, friendly staff and a unique experience, avoid V. Sattui. We felt like we were doing tastings at Costco on a Sunday. Crowded, touristy and the servers were very grumpy. Every wine they poured for us was mediocre mass-produced table wine. I didn't taste anything I would want to drink again, much less purchase. We paid, left a more than generous tip and decided we would never visit again. I just don't understand the good reviews out there for this place. Almost ANY other tasting room in Napa or Sonoma would give you a far superior experience both in wine quality and atmosphere.

The staff is friendly and seemingly thrilled to have guests try their delicious wine. I will definitely be back. I enjoyed the beautiful grounds and winery cats too

Great place to have a picnic! They have a deli with gluten free options and an amazing cheese section.

My first impression, kids working at greeting station on there PHONE! Please take away the kids toys while they are supposed to be working.
..Crab cakes were good. Cheese sample station server very pleasant.

--Covid Review--
I'm really disappointed in how V. Sattui is enforcing safety during the covid crisis.

During our tasting under the oak tree, almost all of the staff were not wearing their masks properly - all under their noses. I know it was hot, but staff didn't even put them on properly while pouring our wine. So I had to drink wine that had been breathed on. Maybe I should have asked him to put his mask on properly, but it felt rude. I really shouldn't have to - we were the guests and it is a requirement.

On top of that, staff didn't stay behind the safety glass. Our person kept going around it to talk to us with his mask not on properly - MUCH closer than six feet distance. It was really uncomfortable and I kept having to back away and put my mask back on (which doesn't really help me since it's your employee not wearing it properly).

In order to leave the tasting experience or use the bathroom, you are also required to walk immediately behind unmasked wine drinkers.
Maybe 6 inches of space. This also violates social distancing guidelines.

In hindsight I actually very deeply regret not leaving V. Sattui. We should have left after we saw the "safety" practices in action. Time for us to get tested.

Very lovely! Beautiful grounds and tasting areas. Our tasting server was knowledgeable and professional. My only regret is that my idiot friend drank all my wine

Excellent place to visit in Napa and have a picnic over a bottle of wine. There is a outdoor pizza and barbeque tables weather permitting, a very well maintained lawn with benches and tree cover. Deli carries good selection of bread cheese and Italian food.

Great wine tasting with simply the best service staff!

Nice selection of wines and cheeses. Everyone was very helpful. Very friendly place.

This is the Disney of the Valley. Tour bus heaven.... Very touristy with a supermarket atmosphere. Wines are average at best and retail environment is really unpleasant.

Rather than do a tasting at each vineyard, we tried to mix it up by doing deli take-out lunch here (esp since we had just been at their sister, the Castle, for a tasting). For some pasta, a sandwich, a water and soda + picnic supplies (don't buy it - they give out free forks if you ask at the register) it was over $40! You can't bring in your own food, so be prepared for a short list of options. Rustic place that's pretty to walk around, it's a decent option for mid-day lunch.

This is lovely winery for family. Grape juice is the best option for kids. I strongly recommend V.Sattui family tourists.

great winery, highly recommend you opt for the slightly more expensive tasting in the upper tasting room. Marc was an absolute pro, with unparalleled knowledge on the wines of V. Sattui and of the broader region, was by far the best tasting out of the dozen we participated in.

Lovely staff. Clean place. Wine tasting is good and the guys who serve the wine are very knowledgeable and friendly. And their collection of wine is amazing and even if you are not a wine drinker they will still find a wine of your taste and you will love it instantly. I strongly recommend visiting this place and no wonder they got the best winery award as well. Great work guys

We visited on a Monday afternoon after 3 days in Napa. The wine was good, but by far the worst experience of our trip. Our server, Bianca, decided to converse with her friends the entire time and did not explain the wines we were tasting at all. This was a highly recommended winery from a close friend, but I would never recommend based on our experience.

I first came to Sattui in 2008 for my honeymoon. My husband and I fell in love. We joined the wine club but I wasn't able to physically return until 2016 and 2017. Both times, were pleasant experiences, although I noticed they had grown A LOT since then and were a lot busier. Which is good, right? Anyway, I always recommended their wines, and my father made it a point to stop at Sattui during a cross country road trip with my brother from Cali to Virginia in 2014. My father ended up loving their wines as well and proudly ordered cases from them up until 2019. In January of 2019, he special ordered a case with the intention of gifting a bottle to my brother and his new fiancee. There was as mix up with shipping and the bottle didn't make it in time (even tho he had ordered it with plenty of time allotted). My brother was already on a plane back to Florida (we live in Virginia), so he didn't get the gift from our dad. When my dad complained about the mix up, I noticed his complaint was pretty much dismissed. I was a part of this whole process so this review is FIRST HAND, btw. Granted, Stacey didn't realize the back story, and yes...these things happen, but my father has been a loyal customer for years now. My father passed away unexpectedly in March of 2019, therefore he won't be there to see my brother get married. I decided to call Sattui to ask them for wine recommendations for a wedding gift, and I guess I felt sharing some of the back story would be nice, since there is some sentimental value behind it (and I do honestly LOVE their wines). Angie sounded like she couldn't be bothered. She gave me her recommendation as to which wines would age the best (thanks, good info), but she really seemed like she just wanted to get off the phone. This, unfortunately, has turned me off completely. Sattui makes great wine, but I guess the word is out so now it's all about the sale, especially after perusing some more recent reviews. Any intention I had of continuing to order from them is gone. Any desire to visit them, is now gone. It's disappointing, and I know my patronage will not be missed by them (they definitely make enough), but I am grateful to know there are other wineries out there who truly do value their customers, and it is those wineries that will continue to get my business. I just wish my dad was here so I could recommend these other places to him, too.

Amazing wine. Wonderful atmosphere. Donn guided us through our wine tasting. They honor online offers in the winery so take advantage of it! Can't wait to come back!

It's a good place to get wine and food at a reasonable price in Napa, but don t expect a warm welcome in this fast customer turnover winery. I found the wines good but not great.

I visited V Sattui for a wedding I was photographing and I loved the property. The buildings are so beautiful and the views with the vineyards are stunning! I hope we have the opportunity to work another wedding here in the future!

Great experience in everyway! Very friendly staff that's knowledgeable and excited to have you experience the different products to find what suits your taste best...
Gorgeous grounds, a beautiful place to meander around a slow life down.
A fun gift shop to grab souvenirs or essentials...be ready to have a difficult time choosing your favorite cheese! Thanks Jack, Preston, and Kimberly for the great experience!

We visited several wineries while in the Napa Valley area and would highly recommend V. Sattui. The tasting area was fun and informal. After selecting the perfect they were very helpful with pairing a delicious cheese and bread that we enjoyed in their delightful picnic area. This is definitely a 6 out of 5 stars winery!

Very disappointed.

1 Star only for the membership. Wines themselves are fantastic, but just disappointed that we did not get any discounts for joining. You only get discounts when you join as FULL CASE MEMBERS.

We re already members of about four or five other wineries so to have a commitment of another case every single month or quarter is a lot to get any type of discount, is quite a disappointment, especially when this is one of our faves. They don t make any apologies about it either...

Seriously disappointed.

Although busy, great wines to taste & excellent staff

I've been a fan since I first visited 4 years ago. Above all, a spacious and relaxing garden is good. And delicious wine and abundant delicatessen. When the weather is nice, go outside and have a picnic.
A set of cheese cutting knives and boards purchased here is hard to find anywhere else. I gave this assorted basket to my friend's birthday and was very pleased.
This is one of the places I want to revisit in CA.

Great place to buy cheese, local bread and a bottle of whatever you like. They have many delicious options, including some non-alcoholic ones. Picnic area and grounds are beautiful!

Fantastic grounds, beautiful scenery. Excellent wines, super casual atmosphere, great winetenders! Best cheese selection in the valley, superb deli and BBQ, plenty of desserts and other snacks and foodstuffs to choose from. One could stay here for hours! Be sure to TIP your winetender!

Very busy tasting area. After you start tasting you see why. I loved every wine. Angela was great. $20 tasting was so worth it. I think the wines started at $27 the family red blend was great. The 2013 cab came highly recommended.

The one place in the wine country we just have to visit every trip.

SO PRETTY! The wine and food were delicious and the whole place was just beautiful to hang out at.

Decent wines, lots of variety, great picnic area and food!

I had a great time visiting this winery. The tasting provided by Ed was a fantastic experience. I would gladly return

Great marketplace for wine, cheese, olive oil, etc. It can be really crowded on weekends. I had to wait for a long time before getting to the wine tasting. Choose 6 wine for $10 (plenty of choices) from one list, or $15 to choose any 6 wine from two lists. I bought Angelica, Zinfandel, Dry Rieslings and Muscat this time. I usually end my winery day trip here where I could picnic and enjoy the sunset.

All of their wines are amazing. They have a great picnic area that you can eat in and sell paninis, salads, and cheese to eat. You also can get a bottle of wine for lunch. Highly recommend a stop here for a tasting and lunch. They have nice bathrooms and a big parking area. Staff is very friendly and informative and they have beautiful grounds to relax in.

Such a wonderful place to pick up some treats and have lunch in the outdoors

Best place ever in Napa everyone was so nice and polite the workers took Extra Care you make sure you had everything you needed if you're ever in Napa you have to go visit Tui I loved it and I will be going back and bringing my family with me

Good but a little too commercialized/Disneyland vibe. Most of the wine is pretty good although sweeter than average

Good experience overall

This Pandemic messed alot of Bussineses up. But my 1st time to the winery's in Cali was a great experience. I will return.

I love this winery since their wine collection is amazing. A beautiful backyard for picnics and being dog friendly makes it awesome. I rated the winery only 3 stars instead of 5 since they could improve on their customer service and concierge during the busy season. They have a great product and I hope the customer service would be improved to match the quality of the wine.

This place has become very trendy over the last few years. It is so crowded now. The wines are top knotch, but be prepared to wait.

Not bad wine but the servers are super stuck up and they don't provide water without charge. However, we saw a few w/ water so it depends who your server was. For us, the guy was not a good server and for that, I wouldn't go back. Just like that.

My absolute favorite winery. The property has a market where you can buy lunch; there's picnic tables and lots of space. The member cellar is where I've always tasted wines and had a good time chatting with others.

Staff were extremely helpful during our tasting, especially with us being pretty uneducated in wines. Delicious selections, and we ended up walking away with 2 cases. Well worth the trip.

GREAT full service winery. The wine was terrific, they have a market, picnic tables, lawn area,and gifts. What a great find in the Napa Valley

Favorite winery in Napa Valley. Fantastic Cabernet and Riesling. We had Sattui wine at my wedding, and even my beer drinking redneck family and college buddies were drinking wine.

We really had a great time visiting this winery. The bbq outside was amazing, our wine tasting was wonderful, the service was wonderful, there was so much cheese to chose from. Will definitely come back.

Best dessert wines, good food, picnic spots. Very nice place to stop in Napa.

Recommended by the hotels concierge we visit this beautiful winery. We bought the upgraded package of 27dollars per person. We had 7 wines instead of 5. And the upgraded wines were very nice. Very impressed also by the ancient vine zinfandel. Tasted gorgeous.
After the wine tasting, we bought a bottle and some deli to enjoy them in the garden. We had a totally relaxed, lazy afternoon. This little picnic added so much to the wine tasting trip.
It is advisable to go early so that you can find a less crowded time at the tasting bar, mind you we were there on Monday and the crowd soon builds up. And most importantly, that you can find a picnic bench for lunch and to chill out.
Loved our experience at v.sattui.

easy access winery, tasting choices are good for the charge! Best of all is: food to buy available (awesome prices and WONDERFUL quality and flavored choices) and go sit outside in the picnic tables. MUST try: clam chowder soup...wow. best than any restaurant I had tried in the world (literally)!

Great place - have been coming for years. However giving 3 stars because Pastrami sandwich quality has significantly gone down - too oily

Great wine tasting session! Great barbecue meal afterwords! You must come here!

An amazing atmosphere completely ruined by rude staff.

I get that covid rules restrict certain things, but the entire experience was ruined by the staff being rude. We spent a lot of money on tastings for pretty good wine. I purchased a lot of items but before I even attempted to open any of them I was scolded by a very rude employee. He told me I was not to consume any food in the tasting area, which was not my intention. The general tone, demeanor, and shortness of the staff completely took away from the experience.

Beautiful winery. Great service. This is a must if youre in the Napa area

Great place for Lunch, wine and everything else. Great selection of cheese, cold cuts, salami and all things Italian with Vino. Nice picnic setting outside to enjoy everything. Love it.
