Good tasting and gorgeous views. Liked the wine enough to leave with a bottle. Eric was a great host! Their natural landscapers were baa-ing as we drove by.

Thank you for an amazing evening! Service was top notch! Even though it was a little bit windy, we enjoyed our outdoor table, the view, and all the great and detail explanation of each wine we had. Thank you for a great 2023 closure :)All the best for 2024 and we will back for sure!

Review for the Bright Nights event:From Thanksgiving through New Years, Cuvaison hosts a Bright Night's holiday event at their tasting room. It is from 4pm to 6pm and is $50 per person. You get a taste of 4 wines accompanied with a cheese and fruit plate. The event begins in the daylight and transitions to sunset where you will begin to see the vineyards sparkle with lights. Towards the end, a group of carolers sing holiday classics as you finish up your tasting.My only critique is that during other tastings, your host typically explains each wine as you go through the tasting, but during this event all the wines were poured at once and it was information overload trying to remember which each one was for the rest of the evening.Nonetheless, my husband and I greatly enjoyed this event and hope to make it a yearly tradition in wine country.

Did a nice private tasting. Good wine and information

I’ve been here a couple times before and only had great experiences. This visit however was very disappointing- after we got seated we waited 45 minutes for someone to come to our table to bring water and start the tasting. The tasting consisted of our host just pouring the wine and not telling us which wine it was or any information on it- which was always a part of our experience here before. He decided to switch up the tasting list that we signed up for without even asking us. It was definitely upsetting to experience this at a place I used to loved to visit. Not sure what was going on with our host today but sadly will not be visiting again if this is how they treat customers now.

A tad on the pretentious side, our wine guide was a bit of an over actor. His animated wine descriptions were so memorized I wasn't sure if he believed a word of his spiel. Unfortunately, none of the wines he presented struck a chord with anyone in our group. Most wines were on the dry side. If that's your preference you'll probably enjoy your experience.

It’s been a minute since I’ve been talked down to, but Paul sure treated our party with contempt. After “educating” on what a Pinot Noir is and why one might drink it, he chastised the level two somm in our group for “not knowing wine etiquette” when asked if we could rinse our glasses.The view is gorgeous. The Pinot and Sauv Blanc were good. The Chardonnay and two Syrahs were ok. Definitely a two star experience.

Great wine, people with kind hearts and a stunning view! Thanks again, especially to Mary.

Don’t miss this stop! Best view, wine, people and atmosphere you can ask for. Let me know if there’s a winery with a better view than Cuvaison. I’ll wait.
Took my mom and aunt out for a day of wine tasting. Cuvaison is located right across from Domaine Carneros and the property is beautiful. We experienced our tasting in the "los carneros room" and tried a few different white and red wines. Our server explained the history of the wines and we found the Pinot to be our favorite. We will be back :)

My best wine experience in Napa so far. A beautiful terrace surrounded by vineyards, good wine and excellent charcuterie to pair with. Easy to find, easy drive from Napa and Sonoma.

Not a welcoming or family friendly venue. Our family moved out of the area a few years and recently moved back. We spend our Sunday afternoons as a family enjoying wine venues, picnics and lawn games. Cuvaison has always been one of our favorite wines and one of the first wineries we ever brought our son to. We were shocked to be turned away due to our son being with us. No one under the age of 21 is allowed on property. I realize some children are unruly! However, most children are well behaved. To have a separate area I could understand, list rules and if not abiding ask to guests leave but not allowed anyone under 21 discrimination and offensive. This is not a nightclub or a bar. We will not be back, nor buying Cuvaison wine, and do not recommend even if not visiting with anyone under 21.

Amazing wine, exceptional service and always a fun time! The only thing to know is that kids are not welcome.

This is the best tasting experience in Napa! Cuvaison has a spectacular patio which is comfortable, relaxing, and offers expansive views of the vineyard. Daniel lead our large party through a tasting; he was knowledgeable and happy to personalize to everyone’s taste. The wines are incredible, we’ll certainly be back!
