This directory is from one of our older books so it combines Napa and Sonoma in one list, helpful for the visitor because they often don't know quite where the winery is. We have not kept the tasting fees up to date, so don't be surprised if they are higher. For up to date, expanded info purchase the most recent editions of our books or our Smart Phone Apps.
Key to the Tasting Fees: $ Free to Modest, $0-$5.$$ Average, $10-$15. $$$ Serious, $20-$30.$$$$ Very Serious, over $30-$50.$$$$$ Pricey, usually including a tour & food pairing or seminar, over $50 and up.
