On our first trip to Napa, we were quickly tired of all the corporate wineries that insist you book ages in advance and pay exorbitant fees just to taste their overpriced wine. When we read about Nichelini, the oldest family-owned winery in the Valley, it sounded more up our alley. Halfway on the drive out there (and it's a bit out there), we lost cell reception and started to wonder if we should just punt and accept that Napa just wasn't for us. Thankfully we kept on the road, and Nichelini absolutely blew us away. Nowhere else in the entire region did we find somewhere as inviting and cozy as at Nichelini. We loved hearing about their story (and perseverance during the fires) and most of all, sipping their wines on their rustic grounds next to the giant Roman wine press. Everything we tasted we loved (and took back plenty of bottles). The rest of Napa wasn't for us, but Nichelini truly took our hearts. A true gem off the beaten path. You won't regret stopping in!
Delightful family-run winery. We discovered this places by chance, but I think it might have been fate. Our guide was welcoming, charming, engaging, and very helpful. The history and philosophy of the winery was fascinating. The survival of the property during the 2020 fires was a fascinating story by itself, but the family stories were also really interesting. The property is in a gorgeous shaded location filled with charm. We enjoyed 5 wines on our tasting and enjoyed them all! Thanks for a wonderful introduction to the Napa area!
Historic winery! Family owned since its establishment in the 1890s. Its far from the other wineries but if you enjoy history and wants to relax and enjoy the view of the mountains you should definitely check this place out. They were devastated by the recent fires in the valley but that they still managed to survive and continue their family traditions. The hostess were nice and informative. I was too drunk to give a review about the taste of their wines.
This place, and our wine tasting, was something approaching a disaster. The two people working there were completely disorganized and either know very little about the wines on offer (or wine in general), or didn't have the time/inclination to share any real information. The tasting felt rushed and impersonal, with small pours and, aside from all that, the wines just really are not very good. I wanted to love this place but our visit here was unfortunately the low point of our visit to Napa.
We love this winery! I believe to be the last originally family owned winery and vineyard in the area. The wine is superb and matched by the staff. You need a reservation but it’s worth it and you don’t feel rushed. The wine club is affordable with great selections. Located In a beautiful area of Northern California. If you are near its worth it.
