We booked a reserve tasting for $40pp and honestly this is what saved it for us. We have been to cakebread before but this time seemed different. The guy at the front entrance asks you why you're there, and then we were stopped no less then 4 times in the space of 20 feet from the parking lot to the... More

We skipped the tour as we we wine-toured out after several days in Napa. But my wife loves their Chardonnay, so we couldn't not go in. The staff was very helpful, and gave us a number of free tastings of wine to help us decide which to purchase. Seemed very pretty from what we saw. I'm sure the tour was... More

I found it rare, in the trip that my wife and I took to Napa Valley, that a winery prided itself on its white wine. Generally, we heard "Reds are more difficult to make" and "Here's our world class cabernet" but there weren't many that were willing to show off their whites. According to some, it's because that's not where... More

We did the white wine tasting at Cakebread Cellars. The facilities are beautiful and the tasting was simple but delicious. We tried a Sauvignon Blanc, a current Chardonnay, a library Chardonnay, and their reserve Chardonnay. All four were wonderful.

I was expecting Cakebread to be slightly stuffy from all the acclaim the wine has received. It really wasn't. We did the tasting/tour and it was great. Our guide, Brian, was really friendly and nice. The tasting/tour lasted about 50 minutes. We were outside in the nice weather. He answered questions, if anyone had them. We tasted 5 or 6... More

This tiny winery is way over rated. We went on the 1 1/2 in-depth tour, a $25 tour which is suppose to provide information about the wine making process from vine to wine, along with other information. Our tour guide, Barbara, was simply not good. The in-depth information we received was simply on the birthing of the winery. Do not... More

Our group of six visited four different wineries last weekend and this was agreed to be our least favorite. The experience felt very corporate. We preferred a more laid back atmosphere where we could take our time. It was the only winery where no one in our group bought any wine. Also, the other vineyards we visited would waive the... More

This is a great start to a day of tasting. It's not a place where folks are bellied up to the wine bar jockeying for space. Instead they have several tasting stations set up around their property that allow you to taste something different at each stop. As an east coaster I know them for their Chardonnay and was surprised... More

I know that Cakebread is becoming a larger wine maker, but it's still one of my favorites in Napa! It's one of the few places where I like both the reds and the whites. The tasting is fantastic - they actually take you around the property, stopping in several locations to try different wines. It's a nice change from the... More
