2 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.

6 months agoI had a great tasting experience at Peju where the wines were exceptional and the service and servers (particularly Harvey) were great. We regretted doing the Peju tasting first because it made our other experience and the wines, at a different Winery, appear so mediocre. They are also very kid friendly, I was there with a 4 and 7 year old and the kids enjoyed talking to Harvey and playing with wine corks. The stained glass cab franc is one of my favorites, but they have many small batch wines that taste amazing.

a month agoI had an incredibly disappointing and hurtful experience at Peju Winery in Napa. My sisters and I were excited to enjoy a relaxing day of wine tasting, but unfortunately, we were met with clear discrimination by Nicole the manager & her staff. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us with hostility and disrespect, making us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Despite being polite and following all rules, we were eventually kicked out for no apparent reason. Not even did they kicked us out but they humiliated us in front of others. This kind of treatment is unacceptable, and it ruined what should have been a lovely day. It’s sad to see such behavior at a place that’s supposed to be warm and inviting. I hope Peju Winery takes this feedback seriously and works to create a more inclusive and respectful environment for all their guests. I will not be returning. Despite the fun an amazing time I had at other Napa winery’s.

a year agoThis place was actually one of my favorites that we went to throughout the week. I have had Peju Cabernet in the past in Las Vegas and knew I loved it so I definitely wanted to check this place out. The driveway on the way in is very unique with the trees on the side kind of curving in and over you, which I thought was really cool and different. Once you get there, the gardens are really pretty but also the inside with the stained glass windows look gorgeous! They were all super nice as we didn’t have a reservation but they got us in and got a tasting for us. Our waiter was amazing and did different ones for me versus my other two friends since they like more sweet wines and I like more dry so it was nice they varied it up. We ordered the cheese and cracker plate with it which was great! They do have this five bottle set that I really wanted and I’m still dreaming about. Maybe someday. But I will definitely go back when in Napa to this winery. I loved it!

6 months agoPoor customer service!!!! I would not go there as they are not open until 6. We went at 5:30 and waited for 10 minutes and they said no to us, saying their wine tasting in 90mins. Asked if they would be willing to offer one drink, they said no. If you are open to certain time and advertise that, own it. Don't say you are open until 6, if you don't take any guests beyond 430.
