JCB Tasting Salon in downtown Yountville was not on our itinerary for our trip when we found ourselves walking through the front doors with a couple of women we had met down the street at Priest Ranch. We discovered the one of the women had a membership at JCB, so not only did we have the opportunity to enjoy a glass of wine while looking at the opulent and extravagant tasting room and the private tasting room in the back of the property. While the exterior looks fairly nondescript, which may be part of the point because you would never think what lies beneath the doors is anything interesting, the interior is like experiencing an acid trip in an extravagant Liberace way but definitely memorable and fun. Their private tasting room, screams, "Take some selfies," due to the wild and artsy furniture and trappings. The rose is also very tasty, very enjoyable, and a great wine to prepare for dinner.

If you have the chance to have a tasting with Kandi, do it! She was so friendly and knowledgeable, it made for an amazing experience. She was so great that we became members. You will not be disappointed. And the wines are great too.

I can't say enough good things about JCB. First off our host, Krista, is amazing. She ensures that our tasting meets our palate preference and simultaneously gives recommendations on wine & champagne that we may enjoy. We absolutely love visiting the Yountville location and are happy to encourage newcomers to visit. Be sure to ask for Krista, however, you'll receive top notch service from any of the staff, they're all amazing. Last but not least, Jean-Charles is the coolest and has such a classy style

My sister and I visited JCB before dinner and they accommodated us even though we had no reservation. Alexander was attending us and he was so polite, professional, and knowledgable. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Can't wait to visit again!

Krista was amazing! This girl totally changed the vibe of our stay in Napa. First night and our expectations were low but after meeting Krista she was a game changer!

One of the best experiences I've had in a long time! Krista and Alyssa are the best! We felt so comfortable and we had so much fun!

Great service and nice people. This is a very chill spot. I loved the explanation of the various wines that are offered here. The French wine and chocolate combination were a nice recommendation by staff. I normally have my wine, a la carte(ha ha), but I had to try it. Happily, it did not disappoint...Delicious!!!

Wow such a unique tasting room and experience! Everyone needs to check this place out. Go for the decor, join the wine club because you'll be obsessed with the amazing selection they have. Krista has been my tasting room bff. She is very knowledgable and makes every tasting a fun experience.
We absolutely love coming to the JCB Tasting Salon for wine tasting. The service here is impeccable with Krista and Alyssa being our Wine educators. They make this place warm and welcoming. We became JCB Collectors because of the friendly staff and their wine. The wine is the Best you will ever taste. We love their reds and their sparkling wine is just as A Mazing. Caviar and Surrealist are worth tasting for sure! Enrapture, the Passion, and Number 3, with the crème de la crème being Charmer and the Surrealist Cab. Enjoy!
I am completely obsessed with JCB. My wife and I have been members for almost one year and are always so impressed by how kind the staff is. In addition to this the wine and champagnes are by far the absolute best in Sonoma county. As members of 5 different wine clubs in Sonoma and Napa I have to say this one is our favorite. As a queer POC couple we often do not receive the best treatment in Yontville, however this is far from the case with JCB. Krista is an absolute gem, but honestly every member of the staff is divine. The tasting salon is gorgeous, very fun and over the top. If you want a dopamine boost, delicious bubbly wines, and a good time...look no further than JCB. Highly, highly, highly recommend. We cannot wait to checkout the other global tasting rooms over the next few years.

JCB is our go to spot in Yountville. Krista has made our visits wonderful from our first one! The day of our first visit, we went to celebrate our engagement-she was so kind with helping us celebrate our special day. The wines are amazing, my favorites are the sparking wines especially No. 13 and the GALA champagnes. They are far better than other places in Sonoma Valley- knew we had to get a membership. Since then each trip has been very special! I'm obsessed with the decor and it's always wonderful to enjoy a glass of amazing wine from the knowledgable, friendly crew. Can't recommend the experience enough! In a town that looks like it wouldn't be friendly to LGBTQIA+ POCs this one is such an accepting haven.

I LOVE JCB so much! i recently joined the sparkling club here. i was actively trying to decided between here and a couple other sparkling memberships. I am so glad that I picked JCB. Not only is their sparkling actually amazing but they have partner wineries where we also get complimentary tastings. The service here is stellar. The ambience is over the top amazing! the wine is divine! I still need to explore all the sister wineries...so far i'm beyond pleased
