We had so much fun at Schamsberg. The tour was so much fun and it was really cool to see how sparkling wine is made. We went into the caves for a tasting. We tasted 4 sparkling wines and a reserve red wine. All of them were delicious and we tasted some very expensive wines. It was a great experience. more

I visited Schramsberg in April with two girlfriends. We did the 11:30 am cellar tour and it was amazing. This is the one tour that I personally “Had” to take and could not wait for. I have to say I was not disappointed. Our tour began as we made our way into the caves which were dug by the Chinese;... more

I was annoyed that they MAKE you take the tour (and you MUST have reservations). There is no option to just enjoy the tasting. $25 is a steep price for sample of four wines. The tour takes you "into the caves" - not too far into the caves. Basically you see two rooms. Then I understood. The tour is fascinating.... more

Really enjoyed it...it cost $25, but that includes sampling 4 of their sparkling wines. Great location too. more

This unique hillside winery is also known for its very interesting network of underground caves... more

Six of us (three couples) spent two days in the Napa Valley. Schramsberg was on the list of things to see because one of the couples served Schramsberg to toast their commitment ceremony the year before. Our tour guide--perhaps a better term "our host--was Richard Gambatese. After a brief introduction to the success and history of the Schramsberg Winery and... more

First - you must have an appointment - this is not a public tasting vineyard. However, once you arrive, it is clear that you in for a treat - excellent products, knowledgable and helpful staff, and a beautiful vineyard retreat along the mountainside. Highly recommended. more

My husband and I had not experienced Schramsberg champagne (well sparkling wine, but you get it) prior to this trip. The tour was at the suggestion of friends. WOW! Schramsberg Cellars had to be one of the best stops we made in Napa. I disagree with the last post that Schramsberg is unwelcoming. You will find many places in Napa... more

The sign at the bottom of the driveway says appts for tours not tastings We had driven all the way from Sonoma just to do a tasting which they would not allow . it is a long drive & hard to find - I would give it a miss - go to J Winery - it was so busy and... more
