It is a stunning, must-see Napa Valley destination for picnics, weddings and events, offering an impressively robust Cheese Shop with more than 200 selections. Executive Chef Gerardo Sainato and his staff create mouthwatering salads, sandwiches, paninis, and entrees in the Deli. V. Sattui also makes house-cured meats from its own Salumeria, and gelato and sorbetto from its own Gelateria. The sprawling estate includes two-dozen picnic tables nestled beneath ancient Valley Oak trees and tri-level terraces that overlook beautifully manicured gardens and vineyards.

V. Sattui Director of Winemaking, Brooks Painter, has been recognized as “Winemaker of the Year” in 2015 by the American Fine Wine Competition. He was previously awarded “Winemaker of the Year” at the San Francisco International Wine Competition in June of 2013. In 2015 V. Sattui was named “Winery of the Year” for the fourth year in a row at the Winemaker’s Challenge, and received the title a second time in the Critic’s Challenge International Wine Competition. In addition, V. Sattui has earned the title of “Wine of the Year” in 2015 for two wines: 2012 Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon at the Monterey Wine Competition, and 2011 Paradiso at the Critic’s Challenge International Wine Competition.

It was raining, so not a great day for a tour. While the guide was delightful and spunky, I was personally disappointed in the limited information and lack of education. It was my group’s very first and only tour—and it fell greatly short of past tours I’ve experienced.

Tour & Terrace Tasting on 11/28/19 11:30 AM

Our group did the Terrace Tasting on the recommendation of a friend. Unfortunately, we were greeted coldly from the beginning and were subsequently led through a jumbled presentation in the cold--it was an hour before we even tasted a wine. I would save your money and go elsewhere if you're looking for a quality tasting tour.

We last visited V. Sattui on our honeymoon 23 years ago. Oh, how it's grown! While that's great for business, it's less great for visitors - the place was packed. So happy we signed up for a tour and tasting on the terrace! Our host, Emily, was fantastic, and the secluded terrace with its spectacular view made us feel miles away from the crowds. Can't wait for the wine we ordered to arrive!

The tower tasting was a wonderful experience. Be sure to make a reservation in advance as there is limited seating. This winery makes over 400 wines, so it is nice to have the personal guidance you get from the Tower tastings. In the main tasting area there is also a deli to purchase pick-nick items.

This is my second time doing the tour. I think it'll be my regular routine to bring friends from out of town. Angela was our tour guide, she was full of energy and was very passionate. We did a couple of things slightly different this time, which is great! We got to try a sample in the production/labeling room. And we looked more in depth at the tanks. Thanks again for a wonderful tour!

The experience was truly second to none. You're greeted as soon as you arrive by folks ready to answer any questions. The tour and tasting were informative without being over the top. Emily did a great job explaining the history and providing knowledge around each wine we were tasting. The food is amazing. Having the ability to get a crackers, sandwich and a bottle of wine in the courtyard.

Tour quit boring. No cellars. Tour guide was constant giggling. Terrace and gardens very beautiful. The last wine of the tasting experience was very corky. Something was definitely wrong with the wine, which can happen sometimes. However, the lady told us it was not corky but that it was the ‘terroir’ taste. Seriously... I know the difference

Enjoyed the tour and getting to walk around the Vineyard and the view from the patio was great but the wines were mediocre. We were told the zinfandel we were trying wasn't really everybody's favorite so I felt like they should have wanted to give us wines that would make us want to stay and try more. Also, there was only one person serving wine. Took an hour to get 5 sample pours.

Far too crowded compared to all of the other wineries we visited. Wine was okay (though the port is a specialty worth stopping and trying) but they did a good job with the cheese pairing. They needed to book at least 50% less people to make it a good experience.
