Wine tasting was fun, the castle was very interesting. We did not pay for the tour because we wanted to fit four wineries into a one day trip

You can't visit Napa and not see Castello di Amorosa. It is one of a kind. You will experience so much more than wine. It is a full castle built to mimic authentic castles in Europe. The cellars are unique and the wine is unlike anything you have ever tasted. You will never by wine from the liquor store again.... More

We visited this winery because we heard the castle was worth a visit. We found the castle to be incredible but generally an expensive tourist trap. A full tour of the castle and wine tasting is $36 per person. Wine tasting and self-guided tour of one floor was $18 per person. Coupons are available but our hotel was out of... More

This is a very busy but also really cool place to visit. We di the full tour and tasting and our guide was wonderful. The castle has beautiful views of the area. They have a really good shop for food and wines.Their late harvest Gewürztraminer was really tasty.

We've toured the Castle twice. Each time the Castle is the best part of the visit, The accomplishment and story of how it was built is remarkable for any time period. The items in the gift shop and the wine aren't as impressive as the Castle.

Our group of four were visiting San Fran for 5 days, and one had a family member that lives not far from Napa - so they offered to take us into Napa and tour a few wineries. This was the first stop. What an incredible environment. We had a perfect sunny day, the views of the hills was great, and... More

This should definitely be on your list of must-do's. The guided tour is worth the price as you see all of the amazing castle, have a barrel tasting as well as the wine tastings. Best to make a reservation. I loved this place!

If you're only going to tour one winery in the Napa Valley, this is the one Linda and I recommend. What an remarkable place! A painstakingly constructed Tuscan castle, authentic as it could possibly be, the Castello is simply a gorgeous edifice that must be seen. Towers and battlements with flags and pennants flying, hand hewn rock walls, the Great... More

This place was a top priority for our visit to Napa Valley. The property is amazing -- the owner is committed to authenticity and it showed. Too bad our experience was marred by a couple of service issues. We went early (around noon) and was able to secure two spots for the 12:20 pm tour. I went to the ladies... More

This is my most favorite winery in Napa! Overall, their wines are superb. I especially like their dessert wines- Fantasia and Il Raggio del Sole. The castle is a good photo opp especially for visiting guests because of the castle :) Must see and must taste wine!
