Customer Reviews
Highly recommend coming here and doing the cave tour and tasting! First of all, the estate is beautiful and great for photos. The wine was also fantastic – some of the best our entire two-day trip, and especially loved that they came with food pairings. The tour which included a tour of their cave and some really cool rooms was also a lot of fun. Was so happy to have found and tried this place!
My girlfriend’s mom booked a tasting for us as a joint birthday gift while we were in town visiting. Tyler was our server and walked us through an amazing wine & food pairing. Top notch service the whole way, with no pressure to join or buy anything. The owner, Mike, even came and sat with us for a bit, giving us a lot of insight into the design of the area we were sitting in. Absolutely gorgeous place, that was super comfortable. We didn’t want to leave! Both the wines and foods were superior to most of what you’ll come across at similar pairings. I cannot recommend this place enough. 10/10!
Davis Estates provided an extraordinary experience that surpassed all expectations. Amy, our host, impressed us with her wealth of knowledge, considerate nature, and delightful sense of humor. Guiding us through the breathtaking estate, she revealed its rich history and captivating beauty. As a newcomer to Napa Valley, this experience left an unbeatable impression. The cave tour and food pairing experience was a 10/10!
