a month agoThe most beautiful landscaped vineyard in Rutherford. The Cab Franc is out of this world. Well worth a stop to enjoy some grape while you walk and take in all this property has to offer. From the sycamore trees to coy pond and all in between. Peju is a new favorite of mine and we look forward to visiting again. 🍇🍷

4 months agoThis winery is a 100% must for me every time I go to Napa Valley! The grounds are absolutely stunning and the wine is top notch. I can't think of a time that I haven't left with several bottles of the cab. In fact, I saved a bottle from 2006 until my wedding in 2021 and it was just gorgeous after it had "aged" in the bottle and moved several times. It was such a special moment sharing it with my husband. Love Peju!

6 months 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!
