Cakebread Cellars

Recommended Reviews

1 check-in

When you are in Napa there are endless overcrowded wineries with a myriad of thirsty tourists looking for the wine country experience. Most of the time you are shuffled shoulder to shoulder with strangers trying to get the wine-tenders attention for a small taste.

Not at Cakebread. They are one of the appointment only wineries in Napa and man let me tell you, making the appointment is worth it.

We walked up to the winery and immediately were greeted by a very nice man who led us to the private tasting room where 8 other people were huddled. We had individual stations and the wine tasting teacher was fantastic.

15 dollars a person gets you tastes of 5 or 6 wines if you are lucky. The highlight of the tasting is the wonderful stories and insights we got from one of the winemakers who has been in the business for 30+ years.

We signed up for a reds only tasting but they also have a mixed. They are famous for their chardonnay so next time I may do the mixed tasting. The 2011 Cabernet was the highlight of the tasting. Perfectly balanced and delicious.

If you are looking for a laid back winery in Napa where you can leisurely taste delicious wine. Cakebread is your place!
