This was one of the best winery tours we took this week. Benzigers uses biodynamic methods to grow grapes and produce wine , which is very fascinating. We ate a catered lunch in one of the wine caves !

Bryan Baecker

This place is amazing. It is by far and away my favorite experience in Napa/Sonoma. Take the partners tour and join the Partners club. You won't regret it.

Hiked with some Benziger family members at nearby Jack London Park then tasted here, 50% of proceeds went back! Met Kathy Benziger , down to earth, staff was fun and gave us Imagery tasting passes.

Greg Schulz

The staff here is terrific. They're very helpful and friendly . The wine is great and the atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for. Super laid back ! Good pizza too!

The tram tour with the private tasting is worth it for the personal experience. I don't think I'd like just tasting in the very crowded tasting room .
