What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the exceptional hospitality and the quality of food and wine pairings, particularly at the Legend Lunch and Arch & Tower tastings. While some found the main vineyard's closure disappointing, the downtown Napa experience, especially with knowledgeable hosts, exceeded expectations. A few noted feeling rushed due to scheduling conflicts or weather changes.
"Our Legend Lunch was excellent, and exceeded our expectations. Great hospitality immediately upon our arrival. Excellent food quality and presentation on all 3 courses, with perfect reserve wine pairings. Our hostess completed the experience and made sure that the visit exceeded our expectations."
Joe Caperna
"Stopped in on our first day in Napa unexpectedly. Did not do a tasting but enjoyed a bottle of wine with our friends. Ordered some food as well. Very nice visit, great location in Downtown Napa (their winery is currently closed to visitors while they renovate). Service was great as well."
Stu Schulman
"We really liked the legend lunch. The dessert coconut tapioca was amazing!!! Loved the wines and paired so well. Staff was very friendly. The only negative was that we started later and then had to be relocated inside due to weather so our reservation ran late and we felt rushed trying to get out in time for another tasting. Would like to try this again when they are done with the winery renovations and without being rushed."
