With so many great tasting options in Napa..no reason to put up with rudeness, unethical business practices, and just ok wine. In a great day of wine tasting in Napa today, this was the only low point. I was with an out-of-town group doing some serious buying who left with an average of 8 bottles per winery. We used tasting... More

Beautiful, modern designed tasting room overlooking the vineyard. The wines were average, but only one person working multiple tastings, even though we had a reservation. Disappointed in the slow flow of this tasting. I hope it was due to an illness and that it is normally better staffed.

Friends had raved over Cuvasion and the humor of the woman who had conducted their tasting. She had mused about "pairing" each wine with a chip: corn, potato, chocolate. They left with several cases of wine. Alas, we had no such experience. We arrive to find the bar stacked several deep, those pouring chatting amoungst themselves more frequently than with... More

Wife and I visited California wine country in the fall. Napa one day, Sonoma the next. This is our 5th trip over the years. We found Cuvaison and had by far the best tasting ever. Joined the club and are enjoying shipments of excellent wine at reasonable price. Best to make reservations.

Let me start by saying I enjoy having a glass of wine with friends and family. I am not a wine expert, I am just giving my opinion on the experience and what tastes good to me. Our experience at Cuvaison was fantastic. We have been there twice and both times did our tasting with Travis. Although it's a busy... More

Our B&B manager recommended this winery tables for our pic nic. After biking and visiting touring another winery, we stopped at Cuvaison for lunch. At their store, we tasted the white and rose options they had chilled and chose the rose for our meal. Nice reception, nice tables under the oak trees and good wine!

This was the last stop of our day. We didn't care for any of the wines, except the $90 bottle of cab. The tasting room was full, but the servers were available and attentive to everyone. Overall it just wasn't our style.

A friend from the area recommended Cuvaision. What a great find. Unique and delicious wines with a great staff. The tasting room has a relaxed atmosphere. What a great place to enjoy delicious wine.

The morning walk, sipping a Rose, to the top of the vineyard which offered a 360 degree view of the Carneros appellation and surrounding land would've been enough to earn stars but, Bob (our guide with an accent of indeterminable origins) was relaxed, informative (in a fairly general way), and just informal enough to make the visit feel like having...

With a lot of the vineyards in the area, it is not the wine, but the knowledge of the person pouring that makes the difference. Cuvaison is a great wine, but it was our server that made it a wonderful experience. Top Notch all the way!
