Mayacamas Vineyards & Winery - Napa, California

Hannah R.

This was our first winery stop on our first trip to Napa and we couldn’t have picked a better place to kick off our weekend! This winery didn’t come up in my research but was last minute recommended by a friend and I’m SO GLAD we could get a tasting reservation. It was by far the top winery we went to. Here are the highlights… and there’s a lot!
- drive up the mountain
- gate entrance was dreamy!
- greeting from David our sommelier
- the grounds
- the weather ended up being so gorgeous we could see San Francisco in the distance
- ATV ride up to our first tasting
- I learned here I love Chardonnay
- final tasting we got some privacy to enjoy just the two of us
- the knowledge David shared with us and his genuine care for our questions and interest in what he was sharing with us

SO many highlights but truly David made our entire trip. We couldn’t stop talking about Mayacamas! I do wish we could’ve had one more tasting outside on the gorgeous patio but that’s my only note!

Thank you all for an amazing time! Highly recommend. Worth the drive. Worth the price.

We loved Mayacamas! Nathan, our host, was awesome —warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate. He made us feel completely at home, even though it was our first time visiting.

Each pour of wine was unique, you can tell there's something special about the way they craft their wines here.

And the views... absolutely breathtaking. Taking in the mountains and vineyards was calming, beautiful, and exactly what we needed on our weekend in Napa.

This is not just a tasting, it’s an experience. 10/10 recommend and visit again. If you’re in Napa, Mayacamas is a must.

David Tijero the hospitality director completely made the most magical beautiful experience for us — we loved the wine, animals, and atv —- the interior design and big windows were amazing

the historic oak wine barrels felt like we were in a museum, beautiful

to know for getting there:
recommend having the most confident driver in your group be behind the wheel to get there, windy roads/spotty service to get there, I went with my love Max and he’s a very good driver but I’d be nervous on my own —- Incredibly luxury and views once arrive and well worth the adventure to up the mountain

p.s.s. art collection of the owners is wonderful and they even have a Kosher wine option for Passover, very special

We only scheduled 2 wine tastings for our short weekend trip in Napa and this was one of them. The winery is high up in the hills and getting there involved a lot of twisty turny roads which is something to consider if you get easily car sick. Upon arrival we were introduced to our guide and offered the use of the restroom before proceeding to our RV tour. They take you further up the mountains and to a scenic view point to talk about the vineyard and sip some wine. Afterwards we went back down to the main building to tour the cask room and try some additional wines. Overall a neat and different wine tasting experience.

Amazing experience during our private tour and tasting.

David our host was extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. He shared amazing details about the history of the Vineyard and was clearly a master of his craft.

Taking part of a private 2 hour experience led by a viticulturist with a mastery in hospitality is truly a gift for a couple on vacation like us.

The property is located at over 2000ft altitude right in the heart of Mt Veeder and the views are just breathtaking.

The entire experience felt very high-end and exclusive; and the wines were to die for. Specially the 2019 Top Block Cabernet Sauvignon.

Getting there was a 30-45 minute drive from the valley but absolutely worth it.

We visited 4 other wineries during our time in Napa and Mayacamas was by far our favorite.

One of the best winery tour experiences in Napa Valley! I highly recommend a trip out to the estate, which is set high in the hills on a beautiful piece of land you’ll tour in an ATV and on foot, exploring the vineyards and cellars while tasting a wide range of excellent wines. Our small group of friends enjoyed an afternoon tour with Nathan and Travis, who were both very welcoming, super knowledgeable, and took great care of us. We loved our experience at the estate so much we even stopped by the downtown tasting room to try some new wines. A can’t-miss Napa winery totally worth going off the beaten path for.

Our wine tour guide Chris made our entire visit to the Napa Valley area memorable with our visit to Mayacamas vineyard! This was our top vineyard and light years above any other experience we had. The private atv tour of the vineyard and cellar made the entire experience memorable. Chris was friendly and very knowledgeable. It made us appreciate the history and you can feel her passion for current owners and history of this vineyard. Thank you for an outstanding family trip; we will talking about this experience for a long time to come!

An absolutely magical and unforgettable place. Mayacamas was easily our favorite of the five wineries we visited. The best wines, Incredible views, fascinating history, a stunning tasting room, and the most knowledgeable and hospitable host, David. Don’t hesitate to add this to your itinerary, you absolutely won’t regret it.
