All I can say is WOW I have never recieved such horrible service and experienced such blatant racism. As a corporate party planner I deal with venues all the time and I have never met staff so rude. I was excited to try this place because the venue looked beautiful and I thought it would be the perfect place for our group to do a tasting.Upon entering there was 8 people at most including the staff. There were 3 staff on the floor, the lady making chocolate and 2 others behind the bar. NO ONE looked up to greet me even though you could clearly hear me walk in and there was no music playing. I proceeded to stand there awkwardly but no one even lifts thier head. I have to walk up to one of them to advise I am here for my reservation. Mind you I called ahead of time to let them know I would be getting there early because I wanted to put out some gifts so they KNEW I was coming. The guy begrudgingly walks me to my space and even though I'm carrying two large boxes and wearing heels not once offers to help.The last straw was once my full party arrives he proceeds to make a short conversation feigning interest in us to save face then pours all 3 wines does a short spiel and leaves us alone pretty much the rest of the evening. It is clear the point they were making. People of color are not welcomed and both the staff and the customers are on the same page. Everywhere else I went in Napa everyone was wonderful polite and friendly so it was not location just this specific venue. Please spend your money somewhere else.

Glad that I made reservations! Seatings may be limited due to the space of both down/up stairs. Friendly professional staff and service here is quick. Love the decor - the stairs are a great photo op. Would defintely come back.

Best wine bar in Napa. They explain the wine so well for people that don't know all the terminology. They are very patient and answer any and all questions no matter how basic. Also... VETERANS GET A FREE TASTING. The wine was fantastic and the service was even better. The ambiance was very much a girly vibe but i was not mad at it. It was not overwhelming at all. Highly recommend

Me again, I had to stop by Anthropology to pick up a dress for an event. Chateau Buena Vista is literally 2 doors over. Of course I popped in and had a tasting of delicious sparkling brut rose and the must have Earth and Sky chocolate to go with. As luck would have it, they were offering the most delectable charcuterie boards. Imagine! I decided to sit on the first level mid Chateau and take it all in. It was such a vibe! I met two absolutely gorgeous sister's visiting from Malaysia, we had the best conversation and plan to meet here again! Business was bustling! What a treat to see the expressions of those who first enter and experience the absolute beauty of the space. It was Emily? and Mary working. If I had the experience I would have totally offered to pitch in. They we're managing the crowd expertly and with the light and happy energy of persons happy to provide the service of pouring delicious adult beverages, caviar and chocolate. I finally broke down and became a member. Clearly this is a space I enjoy and will benefit from all membership perks.

My sister and brother-in-law are JCB Winery members, so after getting dinner in Downtown Napa we made an impromptu stop at Chateau Buena Vista for some wine tasting. I love the glamourous decor and ambiance inside the shop! I want them to redecorate my place haha. We were there for a good hour. Our wine host was awesome and even gave my brother-in-law an extra glass for no charge. Let's just say, I felt that wine really fast haha good times! Highly recommend this tasting room in Downtown Napa!

I can’t speak highly enough of the management, service, wine, and chocolates! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and clearly explain each wine and pairing. The warm atmosphere of the staff is enhanced by the uniquely decorated space. Make sure to add this to your stop in Napa!!
