The price of the tasting is the reason why I gave Joseph Phelps 4 stars instead of 5. Yes, you get to try their flagship wine, Insignia, with the $30 tasting but the pours were small and I left not knowing anything about the winery. The tasting was casual where you could walk around between tasting each wine. The views... More

We did a tasting only. There was no sales pitch however we did not learn anything about the wines or the vineyards. It is gorgeous view. It would be nice at the end of a long day to sit there and enjoy the view. Maybe bring snacks. More

Of the 5 wineries we toured this was my favourite. The terrace tasting was indoors because of rain but the rooms were very pleasant. The wines were incredible and the staff was warm and welcoming. These are wines I will have no problem sussing out and paying the extra dollar for. More

I used to love this winery when I lived in SF in the early 90s. It has a beautiful view and I remember it having a nice tour. Times have changed. The view is still there but now the tastings are $30 and $60 for no education and approximately 3 tablespoons of wine. I'll definitely skip this one in the... More
