VISITATION

Do you charge for tastings? What should we expect?

Enjoy a tasting of five of our best-known and beloved wines, along with limited-production and single-vineyard bottlings, for $25. Our tastings run about 60 minutes. Reservations are required for tastings. Please note that due to limited space, we cannot accommodate parties of more than 6 guests.

Do you serve food at the winery?

At both of our locations, guests are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy in our outdoor areas. In St. Helena, picnic tables are available to Tasting Room visitors by a reservation for wines by the glass or bottle. In Plymouth, we welcome guests to bring their own food to enjoy outside all days of the week.

If you would like to pick up picnic supplies on your way to the wineries, there are a number of purveyors close by, including Sunshine Foods in St. Helena and Cal Mart in Calistoga.  Our Sierra Foothills location offers a selection of picnic fixings as well, with Amador Vintage Market and The Kitchen at Helwig nearby.

Are you dog-friendly?

We welcome our well-behaved fur friends in our outdoor spaces at both of our tasting rooms.

What are your hours of operation?

Retail sales and tastings by appointment are available at our Napa Valley location 10 am – 5 pm daily, with the last appointment at 4:15 pm.  Our Sierra Foothills location is open daily, 10 am – 5 pm, with the last appointment at 4 pm.

Wine is a perishable product and must be handled carefully. Heat, cold and light can damage the wine. We recommend storing your wine in a dark, temperature-controlled environment at about 60 degrees. If you are traveling by car to Napa Valley during the warm weather season, we recommend bringing a cooler for wine transportation.

Please note that we will happily replace any wines purchased directly from the winery, given that they are still available; however we cannot replace Rombauer wines purchased from other wine retailers or restaurants.
