pride mountain vineyards

在Napa和Sonoma边境地区的红酒都以高质量闻名,所以这个酒厂不适合普通人,想便宜买酒或者随便尝尝(只有去餐厅或者酒吧才会问人家有没有白葡萄酒或红葡萄酒,问酿造者这个问题人家都嫌你外行)还是另请吧。这里大部分上乘红酒价格在50到135美元一瓶,像我这种酒疯子会非常喜欢。最近一次和Jason一起的旅行很棒,他是侍酒大师专业的学生,也是小有成就的厨师(这里有两个叫Jason的),带我们参观的很顺利。我们尝了部分在酒桶里的酒,也喜欢美丽的环境与视野。如果你也对好酒十分挑剔,或者对建造酒窖和酒厂有研究的话,抑或是想给同好买瓶好酒,就可以考虑这个交通稍有不便的地方,来Napa和Sonoma边境时沿着蜿蜒的山路一直走就能到了。

哇,这个地方真是让人难忘。这是我第一次来这个葡萄园,从纳帕来到这个庄园需要徒步走上一段距离,不过总体来讲,值了,这是一个很棒的体验。我喜欢我们品尝到的酒。导游Scott交给我们很多东西,旅游愉快轻松。我们看到了10多年前建的酒窖,还去了位于索诺玛/纳帕线之间的酿酒的地方参观了一下。有一个地方你可以野餐,欣赏风景。我建议来这里,但不要匆匆忙忙,一定留一些时间——至少几个小时在这里!你不会失望的。

你可以开车去春天山的山顶,我们之前没有对这个小的,家庭经营的葡萄园,但是当NIkki迎接我们的时候我们发现一切都发生了改变。我们从芝加哥过来的,驱车前往傲山真是个力气活,当我们下车的时候看到了令人叹为观止的山村风光,对,傲山沿着县界的两边蜿蜒而下。和我们一起过去的还有另一对夫妇,Nikki把我们带到了前门,带领我们穿过打浆的地方,然后带我们进入窑。如果你以前去过其他的酒庄,你会觉得这个非常小,我们在这儿喝第一种酒是,我和妻子之前都没有喝过,工作人员跟我们说这个酒已经酿了6个月了,还要再放12个月我们以前也品尝过正在酿的酒,但是味道很不好。所以这次品尝的时候我们做好了准备,但是没想到味道那么棒!我们也尝了一杯已经酿好的酒,味道非常棒!我们发现过去的20多年品丽珠红葡萄酒都卖的很好!随后我们品尝了Merlot,我们都不是特别喜欢喝Merlot,Nikki说她也不喜欢,但是这次我们有幸品尝了一下,真是不可思议,简直太棒了!我震惊了!最后工作人员带我们进了一个私人品酒间,我们可以选择一些酒来品尝,同样味道棒极了!出去小屋,我们来到了一个非常非常漂亮的小花园,山顶的景色太棒了!品尝完之后我们和其他人聊天,我们决定买两瓶Merlot,并且咨询了一些“优待顾客”的信息,成为“优待顾客”一年要买两箱红酒,并且如果你需要你可以要6瓶品丽珠红葡萄酒,这些是免运费的。如果你可以买的起两箱的话,这是个比较划算的做法。我们为他们是否有开红酒的螺丝刀,因为我们回酒店想喝,Nikki给了我们一个开红酒的开瓶器,没有要钱,很显然她发现我们很喜欢这个红酒,很有可能成为“优待客户”,但是别管她怎么想的,总之免费的我们就很感激,这些人不光懂酒,也懂的看人!总之,这是我们最喜欢的酒庄,我们当时差点因为远没有去酒庄,但是最后庆幸的是我们还是去了,Nikki知识渊博是我们的好导游,我们考虑取消其他红酒品牌的会员资格,加入傲山酒庄!给自己点福利吧,来傲山酒庄试试,一个人只需10美元,超级值!我们迫不及待再去一次。

我们八个朋友成为了一个组合,在一个周末的时间聚聚,这有很多的葡萄酒可供饮用。也许整个行程的亮点就是在这里的高傲葡萄园品酒,我们已经提前进行了预约。我们的导游把我们带进了一个私人品酒室-在一个黑暗的树林,用皮革的方式装饰一新,非常漂亮-导游给我们介绍我们会品尝到的葡萄酒。然后,他带着我们穿过洞穴,一路上我们品尝了其他的葡萄酒。我们的旅行最终以在露台上俯瞰葡萄园而告终。这是一个华丽美好的日子,葡萄酒确实很不错,我们的导游是最完美的主人-谢谢你,杰斯!这感觉就像是在天堂,我们真的真的不希望离开。这里比平时的大标签品酒设备要好得多得多,在那里,你在柜台付15美元或20美元,就可以让服务员在为他人服务之前,先为你倒上快速蛞蝓酒。就来这里!你不会后悔的!

我们来自内布拉斯加州,这是我们第一次去纳帕谷旅游。哇!能去傲慢山葡萄园旅行,我们非常激动……美味的葡萄酒、优美的庭院、壮丽的景色,还有知识渊博的工作人员,他们不会给人自命不凡的感觉!当我们走在酒窖里的时候,斯科特鼓励我们问问题,然后我们边参观,他就会一边认真地回答我们的问题……这不是你在每一家酿酒厂都能有的体验。他们专制红酒,因此如果你更偏爱白葡萄酒,那么你能品尝的就会很有限。但是,当你知道这里的葡萄酒已经在最近四次行政会议中,被订购为白宫活动的用酒,你就会知道这里的葡萄酒多么棒…… 太令人钦佩了!这对我来说,是“遗愿清单”中的一项,傲慢山葡萄园超出了我的期望。

Fantastic experience. Take the $20 tasting tour - amazing value with barrel tasting in the caves as well as several reds. Andy was a fantastic guide and made it heaps if fun. Beautiful; setting on top of the hill. a good tip is to start here and work your way back to Rutherford as going against the traffic.

This vineyard is up Spring Mountain road outside of St Helena. The tour of the wine caves and explanation of the making of their wine is well worth attending the 10am tour. This vineyard is unique because it has vines in both Napa and Sonoma counties. We had the chance to taste the Cabernet from both counties straight from the cask. The woman performing the tour was very well informed and friendly.

We went to Pride Mountain as part of a day long private wine tour. Definitely request this winery on your itinerary! The drive up the mountain is wonderful. On arrival we met Jay who took us on a very informative tour through the facility including the storage caves which are amazing. We also got the chance to taste from a barrel during this tour which was a nice surprise. After the cave tour enjoy an amazing view from the "back porch". If you like great reds, friendly people and beautiful scenery, this is a must. But have a driver because it is a winding road to traverse.

Everyone needs to pay a visit to Pride Mountain Vineyard in their lifetime. The drive up to the vineyard is adventurous and breath taking. Once you're at the top the payoff is being greeted with delicious chardonnay wine overlooking paradise. Andy was our tour guide it was amazing how he treated us like family. I would recommend bring a lunch up the mountain to take in the beauty after the tour. Loved the whole wine experience. The bathrooms were clean and the winery was immaculate. Thank you Andy........

I flew back from Spain for a best friend's 50th birthday, and our first stop on this decadent birthday party extravaganza was Pride Mountain. As we made our way into the gorgeous mountains in a chauffeured bus, it was easy to forget I was actually back in the States. A few of the party guests are real wine connoisseurs, including a couple that owns a vintage wine bar, and another two couples who own small wineries near Santa Barbara, so it was a real treat to be on such an adventure with them. As we arrived at the vineyard, I was stunned. What a GORGEOUS winery and a perfect setting. It truly almost feels as if you are in a beautiful painting. The weather was perfect, the sky so blue and clear, and everything in sight was lush, rich green; just an incredible time of year to witness the beauty of this winery. The caves are sexy, the staff wonderful, knowledgable and attentive, and the wines are pure heaven!! I loved a few of their Syrahs and one Viognier in particular, but my absolute favorite was a "young" 2012 Cabernet so smooth and delicious, with hints of cocoa and plum, and so striking in finish that I had to buy a case. Truly yummy!!!!! The whole experience was perfect and the tour was great. I would HIGHLY recommend a visit.

Along with The Terraces (that doesn't have TripAdvisor reviews) and Clos du Val, this was one of our best, if not the best experience while in Napa.You have got to work for this one. It is a drive into the mountains on the Napa/Sonoma line. You have to give yourself some time to get here. But, it is worth it once you get there.The wines, views and people (Andy was our guide) are truly exceptional.We went to 13 total wineries over 4 days. My wife and I decided that we enjoyed Napa so much, we will try to make it an annual trip. We also decided to try to hit only new (to us) wineries when we came back. With one exception. Pride. It seriously was that good.

Over the course of the last 40 years, I have visited a number of wineries in California. Maybe 40 or 50? Anyway this is the best for three reasons:- the physical layout on the top of a very big hill is amazing. The layout of the wine rows looks like it was done by an artist. - their wines will speak for themselves. Wow.- I had a tour by a guy named Jay. He cared, he was knowledgable, he was proud. What more can a person ask for!

Personally a fan of the more quaint and comfortable wineries. This one is has both a nice tour and beautiful views. The staff is really friendly and knowledgeable without pretense. The caves are cool to see and the wines are tasty. They reimburse tasting fees with bottle purchases which is really nice.

Made reservations for Pride Winery, and at first had no issues. Staff was friendly, and I received an email confirming my appointment for the correct date. A week later everything goes downhill. I get a confirmation email confirming my tasting on the wrong date. Of course when I see this email I call to get clarification the person on the phone was useless and rude. Somehow they switched our reservation, and of course blamed me, even though I have the first email confirming the right date. Then, they tell me they are already busy for the original day I requested, and asked if I could come in a different time. I said no that is why I made reservations for the time I did originally. Then, after a long pause, they said we could come and they could try to squeeze us in. I did not appreciate the rude behavior so I took my business elsewhere. There are over 600 wineries in the area, you can find others with caves and romantic views.

The winery sits on the county lines of Napa and Sonoma. The tour and tasting is a must. Tour of the vineyards and cave with barrel tasting (2013 Cab) was informative and enjoyable. Staff (Anthony) were knowledgable and helpful. Merlots are the flagship but other wines like Cabs are great (especially the 2011). Note that your tasting fee is waived with bottle purchase. I highly recommend you buy at least one bottle per taster since the wines are small production, taste great and include your tasting. And the views on the vineyard are amazing. No other winery has these views. Worth the drive.
