"Gorgeous setting and fantastic wines. The best part of our experience was our host for the tour and tasting, Annabell. She made it fun & interesting and she was truly passionate about Chappellet. This was our favorite out of 6 tastings over our 5 day stay. There is no shortage of great wines but this is a special place and an awesome host is what makes for a great experience. This place should definitely be on your list."
