Narrow Gate Vineyards (Biodynamic Winery & Vineyard) - Placerville, California

Donald Bishop

I've been going to Narrowgate for years and the wines are simply spectacular. I really like how clean the wines are. No flavorings, no dyes, no chemicals to generate a mouth feel ... just good wine the way God intended it to be. Frank and Teena are always gracious and generous with their time. It is one of our favorite places to go and we always take our out of town friends there so we can expose them to this incredible gem of a winery.

In 2020 at a Christmas party someone brought a bottle of Narrow Gate wine and it was delicious! A few weeks later my husband and I swung in the Gate and fell in love - the wine, the personnel - Justin, Kate and Cooper. It became our Sunday afternoon date place for a long time! We have had the privilege of getting to know Frank and Teena over the years and so admire what they are doing with their lives! The wine is amazing and it is truly my favorite place to go!

Bring taylor back i will not be visiting until she comes back. My family and i went and she had been accommodating and an asset to your tasting room. She was one of the best wine servers in all of the wine community.
Sad that she is gone.
Good luck
The wine is good tho.
Very good wine and cute dog.

When we visit Narrow Gate we are always warmly welcomed, and if owners Frank and Teena, are around, they make time to engage with us. Honestly, they make us feel like family!

We attended the 20th Anniversary event at Narrow Gate this past Saturday. It seemed like not only a celebration but a reunion! There were even founding members (or nearly so) of the wine club there.

Teena takes as much care and thought into preparing delicious food as Frank does creating his exceptional wines.

A little more detail about the wines. They are honest, pure, and biodynamic. This type of purity in winemaking is to be honored and celebrated. It is also rare to find. If you are in El Dorado County, make sure you include Narrow Gate on your list of places to visit. You will be blessed.

Pretentious, self-absorbed owners who don't appreciate their employees and like to put on a perfect image although they are far from it. It is a facade. Teena talks poorly about her employees and customers behind closed doors, and then will be nice to their face to "keep" them in the wine club. Business hurting bad and high turnover rate with employees (new servers each time we've gone) - no wonder when the owner loses it and yells at her employees during events, I was witness to this. Do yourself a favor and don't come here! Lots of other wineries to explore in the area.

I went here with a friend. I'm not a wine person. She wanted to do a wine tasting.

The grounds are stunning! The staff was kind, helpful, and knowledgeable.

My friend let me sniff the wines, and encouraged me to take a tiny sip. She said "maybe your palate changed."

I liked 3 out of the 6 that I tried! I liked them so much that I signed up for a membership. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but I've always *wanted* to like wine, and this is the first wine that I've ever enjoyed! It's a big deal for me.

My friend said "welcome to 40."

TLDR: I highly recommend!

It was amazing, our wine pourer was very helpful and answered all our questions and very polite . Even though we were social distancing , the wine flights they prepared were Great.

Amazing biodynamic winery with a focus on Rhone style wines. Family owned and operated, you always learn something new talking to Frank & Teena Hildebrand in the tasting room. I highly recommend attending one of their wine cellar events which usually offers a selection of their wine paired with a tasting plate.
