Karin BeilSeptember 11, 2013This was one of the best winery tours we took this week. Benzigers uses biodynamic methods to grow grapes and produce wine, which is very fascinating. We ate a catered lunch in one of the wine caves!Upvoted Aug 31
This place is amazing. It is by far and away my favorite experience in Napa/Sonoma. Take the partners tour and join the Partners club. You won't regret it.Upvoted Sep 23
Jen AJanuary 22, 2013Hiked with some Benziger family members at nearby Jack London Park then tasted here, 50% of proceeds went back! Met Kathy Benziger, down to earth, staff was fun and gave us Imagery tasting passes.
Greg SchulzSeptember 14, 2013The staff here is terrific. They're very helpful and friendly. The wine is great and the atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for. Super laid back! Good pizza too!
Rachel KSeptember 18, 2016The tram tour with the private tasting is worth it for the personal experience. I don't think I'd like just tasting in the very crowded tasting room.
Dracaena WinesNovember 10, 2015This winery has an exceptional tour. If you want to learn about wines and how they get from vine to bottle stop here.
Dmitriy ShushkinNovember 17, 2013Super! Take a tour in tram. It's really interesting! Pat is a very good speaker.
TalyaSeptember 25, 2019Tour was very informative but long. Loved the wine tastings integrated with the tour.
Patricia Leite HuamaniApril 12, 2013You can take a tour through the vineyards to learn their sustainable manufacturing process and to see their cave. Good wines, but the tasting is too crowded, even during weekdays.
Thomas RizziSeptember 18, 2013Quality wine wich is very good. Really love the idea of organic oldfashioned wine
- Sally CedarJune 22, 2013If you are new to wineries, go here first and take the tour to have a better appreciation of how wine is made. Cave is cool too.
