Had an amazing visit to their picturesque 200 year old building. The ambiance of the cozy candlelit tasting room well decorated for the holidays was perfect for a quiet, rainy day with friends. Wines were delicious and the host Danielle was knowledgeable and very helpful. We will revisit, definitely recommend.

We absolutely love this place! The wines are great. The people are wonderful. We always have a great time sitting here and admiring the lovely weather sipping on great wines from whetstone.I think this is one of Napa's great secrets; not many people know of this place. I think the owners do a great job making guests feel at home; all the staff are very down to earth; absolute pleasure.We always purchase a ton of wine and ship it home to have when we go home. Really enjoy this place. Thank you!

VISIT, VISIT, VISIT!!!! If you come to Napa, I highly recommend this place. This place captures the true essence of what Napa Valley was and has ever been. Cozy, elegant, relaxed, good quality wines. Napa Valley has changed and is not what it used to be before. Now must places you have to make appointment. At Whetstone wine Cellars you come without reservation, and you are greeted by Ace, the best Labrador host in the world. You can try a flight of their wines and sit in a relaxed environment. We were very honored to meet the owner, Michelle, who is a down to earth person and treated us like family. Our sommelier, Dominica, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We love this place so much that we returned twice after visiting so mane other wineries. This is a perfect place for romantic dates, weddings and special events. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR MAKING OUR STAY IN NAPA SO VERY SPECIAL.

This was our second stop for my friend's bachelorette and it was perfect for our group of 7! There were not too many parties besides our group, maybe 3? And I'm surprised that it wasn't packed, since the service and grounds were so lovely. I did knock off 1 star because I felt the price point for a lunch & tasting ($120 pp) was overpriced for what you get. The lunch was essentially roast beef sandwiches and potato salad plus a biscuit. Filling & delicious, but not especially gourmet, and definitely not $120 per person worth of food. We also originally had a reservation for 8 people and we had 1 girl cancel about five days beforehand; unfortunately we couldn't get a refund because there was a signed contract for no refunds? It seems a little strict in my opinion. Besides that though, we had an absolutely lovely time at this wine cellar. We were greeted by Ace at the entrance and he offered us his bear! So cute. We were seated outside and were offered plenty of shade between all the umbrellas and trees. The lunch included a tasting of three wines. (I for sure thought more wines should have been included at the price point!). All three were lovely and I ended up getting bottles of the rose and a viognier. The service was on point. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly and we got a full history of the grounds and the wines with each pour.

This is a belated review for Whetstone Wine Cellars, the beautiful historic Napa Valley chateau winery that I had my 40th birthday lunch and wine tasting at with my group of 15 girlfriends. I was looking for a winery to have a private group lunch and wine tastings at for my birthday in Napa, and I am so glad that I was introduced to owner Michelle and her wonderful team at Whetstone. Whetstone is a historic Napa Valley chateau that Michelle and her husband bought and restored. When you enter the chateau you will see details of Michelle's designer's touch. From the moment you enter the winery grounds, Whetstone is magical and breathtaking. All of the girls in my group were "wow"ing and "ahh"ing! Over the course of a few months before the big 40th celebration in Napa I worked with Michelle and her events staff to have boxed lunches with gourmet sandwiches, salads, and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, paired with wine tastings for my group of 15. Our group was seated in the garden facing the chateau. Lunch was fed, and wines after wines were being poured. Whetstone is known for their Viognier, and I particularly liked their Pinot's. Michelle was a gracious host who welcomed our group, gave us a tour, and shared her winery's story. Ace, the mascot Labrador retriever happily joined our group. All in all it was an exquisite and truly dreamy experience for all. Thank you Michelle and the Whetstone Team for making my 40th birthday group lunch an incredible experience! Can't recommend Whetstone Winery enough for wine tastings and any group events you want to host at a beautiful Napa Valley historic chateau.
This low profile property right off the highway really exceeded my expectations. We didn't have an appointment but wanted to check out the grounds and the staff warmly invited us in for a quick glass before closing. The patio was lovely and comfortable and the Viognier was crisp and delicious. The staff was the real highlight, so personable and kind, and the reason we'll return on our next visit!
