We enjoyed our stop here for a relaxed tasting after it was suggested to us because we like big, bold reds. The vibe is casual which was fine for us but probably not the winery I would start with if you want some "backstory" to the winemaking of the area. Pair it with a trip to Chateau Montelena and you...

Very nice winery. Tasting fee is NOT waived if you buy a bottle. Just in case that's an issue for you. Not for me though. Beautiful spot. Perhaps arrange to have lunch ready for you.

We went on a wine tour and out of all the vineyards we visited this by far was the worse. The service is terrible. There was a group of us and the person providing our wine tasting looked very annoyed that we were there. Our group payed $100 plus just to taste wine and to be treated like we were... More

We visited Frank Family vineyard on a recent trip to Napa. Excellent wines and the staff were very knowledgable. The staff made this one of the more relaxed and fun places for a tasting of excellent wines. Not to be missed when in Napa.

We did some wine tasting at one of our favorite wineries-Frank's Family. Their wine is amazing and the staff made our tasting fun

Excellent small vineyard just outside Calistoga. Great wines, beautiful setting. Nice place for a picnic on a warm day. Tasting fee.

Stopped here with 8 other friends . It was my first trip to Napa Valley area and my friends suggested this winery. We didn't have a reservation( if you have 6 or more),but were welcomed in. Our server, Marc (Marco) was wonderful. Knowledgeable, fun, and treated us like family. The wines were delicious. I am a white wine drinker, but... More

We live near the NY Finger Lakes and never have to pay for tasting, so we were put off by the whopping $20 - $30 tasting fee, especially as we stopped in only because this winery is listed on Wine.com or NapaVallyWine.com or some similar website as offering free tastings. We bought a bottle of Chardonnay for nearly $40, twice... More

This was our fourth visit overall but it had been awhile & this was our first visit to the new location. We visited in the early spring after a day of outstanding winery visits up on spring mountain. The contrast when we walked in was surprising & disappointing. What happened to the quirky charm & welcoming personalities? They've been replaced... More

We really liked the wines at Frank Family and enjoyed the time we had here. This isn't a large, busy vineyard and we loved the laid back feel of it. The owner is a tv producer (Disney if I'm not mistaken) and I thought it was cool that this winery was a hobby/passion for him. This isn't a property where... More
