If you’re looking to shake up your wine tasting experience then Raymond Vineyards may be the place for you. With a variety of tasting rooms—including a colorful cellar and luxurious red room—plus tours and experiences to choose from, the winery offers a unique glimpse into their biodynamic practices that’s perfect for any wine lover.
The basics
Whether you’re a dedicated oenophile or simply like to share a glass of wine with friends, Raymond Vineyards has something for everyone. One of Napa Valley’s wine-growing pioneers, the St. Helena Winery takes a whimsical approach to a regular tasting experience, providing guests with an approachable, yet educational way to sip on some vino.
The Crystal Cellar experience, for instance, focuses on the decanting of wine showcasing the winery’s flagship label, while the Red Room is a more intimate gathering space grounded by a guided tasting flight. If you want to get even more hands on, consider booking the Winemaker for a Day experience and blend your own bottle of wine.
