2 weeks agoAs a Napa Local, I've experienced my share of wineries and wine clubs. As a member of Peju's wine club, I'm inspired to not only bring visiting friends and family to enjoy Peju with me, but also to write this review! Most recently, we tried the Reserve Experience, the charcuterie board included in the experience really enhanced it! They have the Best Chef, Chef Nic, who creates the most wonderful wine pairings. The lunch in the vineyards is not to be missed! Overall the wine, the beautiful grounds and the food is unique in Napa Valley, and not to be missed!

2 months agoThe best winery we discovered on this trip. The wines here are distinctly different from the ones we usually drink. Scott’s explanations enhanced the flavors and aromas of the wines, making the tasting experience even more enjoyable. The wines were exceptional, making us think about perfect food pairings as we sipped. After listening to our preferences and the types of wines we enjoyed during the tasting, he generously offered us a few additional wines to try beyond the ones included in our tasting selection. In the end, their excellent recommendations led us to purchase a few bottles. The tasting fee was $65 per person, but since we purchased 4 bottles, they waived the tasting fees. Peju has now become the first winery we plan to revisit this fall.

7 months agoDuring our visit, we had the pleasure of experiencing the beautiful surroundings of this Napa Valley winery. The outdoor area resembled a peaceful garden, featuring charming sculptures and a stylish building with an old charm. The entrance, adorned with a unique arch, led us to a souvenir shop offering a variety of items, including wines and scented candles, from which we purchased some delightful gifts. We look forward to returning for a wine-tasting experience during our next visit.

5 months agoPeju is one of our favorite wineries because of the beautiful art, estate grounds, a great selection of souvenirs, and of course the hosting and wines. It’s not only a good wine tasting venue but a good place for a date with the garden, art work and walking space. The Venue: There is the hand-crafted wooden doors, soaring ceiling, a mezzanine, an open room; artwork, crystal decanters and wine shop with local merchandise. It is a peaceful estate showcasing impeccable lawns, the gardens, the koi pond (no Koi’s now). They were poisoned:(The wine: fantastic red blends. It’s a reprieve from the normal in your face cabernets. Top 10 wine destination in Napa.
