点评:OMG, this is hands down the best winery in Napa. I’m no expert, but I have visited quite a few wineries….the level of detail and attention you get from this winery is inanely ridiculous.
We were gifted a bottle of their wine and fell in love with it ever since. So when we were invited to go to Napa for an event, we decided we’d try to visit to do a tasting. Well, they get booked pretty far in advance, especially during summer.
Kudos to Rachel for trying so hard to get us in for a visit. The hubby reached out to the winery 6-7 weeks before we visited, and the calendar was already booked, and I can see why. Their wine is absolutely THE BEST! We asked Rachel to put us on the waiting list, and she followed up with us every few weeks to let us know the status. Unfortunately, no one had cancelled yet, and our trip was quickly approaching. We were resigned to the fact that we’ll have to come back another time. Two days before our visit, I decided to reach out and Rachel said she was just about to email us too; well, there was a cancelation on our desired date and time. Of course, this news was AMAZING to our ears.
Upon arrival (steep hills so I would suggest trying to make this your first stop if you can), we entered through a gate, easily parked, and walked in. The property is stunning and the views are something else. Even though we took advantage of this for photo ops, the one thing I appreciated was that it was not busy with influencers.
As luck would have it, Rachel was also our host, which she said she does not get to do often, as she is their marketing manager. The knowledge she has about wine, the winery, the family….it was just a lovely visit.
I liked that it’s a smaller winery, so they only host so many groups in the day. We were there 2-4pm and there were two other groups of 8-10. And I’ve been to wineries where your host will come by, do the pour and explain the wine to you, and say another 2-3 groups. Not here. Your host is dedicated to YOU for the duration of your tasting.
I have nothing but good things to say about their wine, their winery and the staff. We loved it so much we became members!
Do yourself a favor and do a winetasting here. It’s worth every penny and be careful, bc you will walk off with a few bottles and might even become members like we did.
Thank you Rachel and the Amizetta family!
FYI – they are constructing a new indoor and outdoor area. Great things are coming to this place and I’m excited for our next visit.
翻译:天哪,这绝对是纳帕地区最棒的酒庄了。虽然我算不上是专家,但也参观过不少酒庄……这家酒庄对细节和顾客体验的用心程度简直夸张到离谱。
我们曾收到一瓶他们出品的葡萄酒,从那以后就深深爱上了它的味道。所以,当我们收到邀请去纳帕参加活动时,便决定设法前去品酒。不过,这家酒庄的预约名额通常都早早被订光了,尤其在夏季。
必须赞扬一下Rachel,她费了很大力气才帮我们安排上参观机会。在我们出发前6-7周,我丈夫联系了那家酒庄,结果发现日程表上已经排满了预约,我完全能理解原因——他们的葡萄酒绝对是极品!我们请Rachel把我们列入等候名单,之后她每隔几周就会联系我们,告知最新的情况。可惜的是,始终没有人取消预约,而我们的行程也日益临近。我们只好接受“只能下次再来了”的现实。就在出发前两天……我决定联系他们,Rachel说她也正准备给我们发邮件;原来我们心仪的日期和时间恰好有人取消了预约。当然,这个消息对我们来说简直太棒了。
到达后(那里有很陡的山坡,所以如果可以的话,建议把这里作为第一站),我们穿过大门,轻松停好车后便走了进去。整个庄园美得令人惊叹,景色更是无与伦比。虽说我们借此机会拍了不少照片。让我欣赏的一点是,那里并没有很多网红或名人光顾。
幸运的是,瑞秋正好是我们的讲解员。她说由于自己担任酒庄的市场经理,平时很少有机会承担这项工作。她对葡萄酒、酒庄以及家族历史的了解程度令人赞叹……这次参观真是非常愉快。
我喜欢这家酒庄规模较小这一点,因此每天接待的团体数量也有限。我们是在下午2点到4点之间到访的,当时还有另外两组各8到10人的游客。我以前去过一些酒庄,那里的讲解员根本不会主动来和游客交流。我会为你倒酒并介绍这款酒,还会再介绍2-3款酒。不过不是在这里哦——在你的品酒过程中,接待员会全程专注于为你服务。
我对他们的葡萄酒、酒庄以及工作人员只有好评。我们太喜欢了,甚至成了会员呢!
建议你也来这里体验一下品酒服务吧。绝对物超所值。不过要小心哦,因为你很可能会买下几瓶酒,甚至像我们一样成为会员呢。
感谢Rachel以及Amizetta一家!供参考——他们正在修建一个新的室内外区域。这个地方即将迎来很多精彩的新内容,我期待着下次再去呢。
